?

I am 24 years old currently dealing with a big life event crisis right now. Last May I had graduated from college and my parents are pushing me like crazy to get a job in IT (that was my degree, with a concentration in webdev). About a year ago I finally got with the girl of my dreams, and she lives in Jackson, MS, whereas I live about 45 minutes out of the Boston area in MA. I want to move to be with her in June of this year. I have 9 years of restaurant experience (borderline sous chef), so getting a job would be no problem and financially we'd be very comfortable. My parents look at this like a waste and a horrible move. They say I should focus on my career and think doing this would throw away my future, considering Boston is one of the top tech cities in the country. I know I am going to marry this girl so I have no worries about that, but my parents constantly guilt trip me saying I am going to ruin my future. I was going to use this move to be with my girlfriend and maybe get married, work on my certifications and portfolio that I NEED to be competitive (bachelor's doesn't nearly cut it), and after a couple of years move to Dallas, as the cost of living there is much more reasonable and Dallas is another top tech city. I see no future in MA, but I feel horrible disappointing my parents, even worse I don't hear the end of getting a "real job". What can I do or say here? I understand both sides but it makes me sick thinking about this.

My girlfriend and I have been in an LDR for not even 3 months and I am already having huge doubts that we will work out. She lives in MS and I live in MA, and by mid September once I get my internship done she wants me to move down to be with her. At first everything was going great, but now I know everything about my relationship with her is bad. She is cute and we have a lot in common, but she is obsessed with marriage because she feels inadequate next to her friends because they are all married with kids, she thinks about herself way more than she thinks about me or even us, I help her all the time with her money issues (she owns a house and I've helped her with her mortgage) and she gets annoyed with me all the time over nothing. She blames this all on depression and social anxiety and she doesn't mean to take things out on me, but it doesn't change the fact that it is hurting us no matter how understanding I want to be. She also has a lot of baggage from a past failed engagement she unknowingly holds against me. This is my first relationship that has lasted past a month, though I still have the settle down attitude and so does she, but I feel she wants to rush things too much, especially when I know everything feels so wrong. There's more but those are the larger details. I do love her and she loves me to death, but I can't help but feel that I can't be with her... I don't know if I will be happy. What should I do?

So I work as a cook at a restaurant with my friend and his girlfriend. My friend wasn't at work, but his girlfriend was working the evening with me. By the end of the night, she comes up to me and asks for a couple of grilled cheeses. Since I am good friends with her boyfriend, I thought it would be funny to cut the crusts off, put them into little triangles, and put them in a box with a note saying. "I cut the crusts off and cut them into little triangles, just the way you like them. =)" She leaves without saying anything about it, but 30 minutes later I get a text from my friend asking "What the f*** is this?" with a picture, and he said that I was making a lot of bad decisions lately. I also got a second job, which everyone was worried about because they thought I'd be leaving during the summer, the busiest time of year, so that was among my other "bad decisions". He wouldn't specify what the problem was, but he seemed wicked angry and said we'd talk next I saw him. She got her food, I just cut it into crustless triangles. Does he think I was actually flirting with her? Should he really be so angry at me for it?

"This leads to relationships that last over many years; be it in MMORPGs, online over social networking sites or in real life."

I'm not sure whether I should use a comma or a semicolon here. Any help would be appreciated!

Honestly, I'm sick of people and articles saying that if you're overweight it is okay. "It takes courage to accept the fact that you are overweight and if you are comfortable with your body, that's just fine." I think that is all nonsense. An overweight lifestyle is not a healthy lifestyle to have. Instead of telling these people they are beautiful as they are and should just love themselves and blah blah blah, shouldn't we be telling them they need to get healthy? I can understand genetics and financial situations, don't get me wrong, but shouldn't we stop outright praising overweight people like this and actually offer encouraging words to promote the bettering of their health? I feel this country in its quest for tolerance is saying it is okay to be unhealthy!

I am struggling with a proof, I just do not know where to begin with it. If someone could lend a hand or just point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated.

For each natural number n, if 3 does not divide (n^2+2), then n is not a prime number or n=3.

I know this statement is true by plugging in values, but I do not know how to write a formal proof for it.

Thank you in advance!

Do a proof or find a counterexample.

Thank you in advance!

I am having a lot of trouble with this proof, I can't wrap my head around it.

Let b be an integer. If there exists an integer n such that b|8n+7 and b|4n+1, then b|5.

Here is what I have so far:

Let be be an integer. Suppose there exists some integer n such that b|8n+7 and b|4n+1. By the definition of divides, there exists some integer q such that:

8n-7=bq

Similarly there exists some integer p such that:

4n-1=bp

Now I'm stuck, I really can't wrap my head around this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Whenever a guy is interested in a girl, usually he shows it. When a girl doesn't like him back or gets fed up with him swooning over her, she does not tell him anything, but simply blocks all contact in a case which I call "turtling". I am not talking about all women, but many younger women and girls tend to do this, and honestly it is a really rude thing to do. I know it can be seen as standing up for yourself or trying to prevent a creeper situation, but still, why is it so hard to be forward? It honestly makes me sick, especially on this site when if a girl has guy problems, the answer is always "block all contact asap".

I am not trying to generalize but I have definitely seen a trend, and this is not a personal question but a general one.

So when I graduate from college, I want to make a career out of web design/development, though I have run into a snag. Computer science focuses on the technical details of computers and focuses on programs I would not use for web design other than HTML at my current school, things like java, python and C++. Graphic design has a great creative aspect which may help me more, but I would need to get a certificate to further my education about web design. Which do you think would be better?

So there is this girl I work with. She is 23 and for the first time this year at work we got along perfectly with each other all summer. Out of nowhere I felt the need to flirt her up and now, I may have a crush on her. Issue is she has a "lover" I guess who works with us as well, they get along really well but the guy says that he would never enter a relationship with even her because of some dumb reason, even though there is some connection. The girl has responded positively to everything but my issue is the guy. Hell look at that as me moving in on his girl, even though they are not and will never be together. His best friend warns me about making any further moves, likes it is his stomping grounds, but he's logical and probably won't get mad. Should I push my advances or back off so this guy can realize this girl means a lot to him to enter a relationship?

So I have this friend whom I've been friends with for 16-17 years. Note that I am 20 now. We have had I guess "love moments" before, back and forth we wanted to date but never have. She tends to forget these moments but I personally believe she tries to forget them. She is not interested anymore I guess, and now, I don't know whether I want to be friends with her anymore. I like to be a gentleman and have taken her out to lunch and dinner a few times. She is/was very close to me and I was excited to have her home for the summer. Today we had for the most part a fun time together, we basically wrestled for 4 hours straight then had dinner at her house. Afterwards she told me she needed to run a few errands and get some ice cream. Off we went.

Errand 1:

She needed to pick up her medicine from CVS, her attitude started there. When we left when I tried talking to her she kept interrupting and saying "Are you talking?" rudely. I start to get annoyed, and she picks up her hateful momentum from there.

Errand 2:

She needs to go pick up something from Market Basket so she would have something for breakfast the next day. At this point she is saying how we aren't really friends, how I'm not funny, how I'm a douche who will never have any girl like him, how she only uses me to mooch off of. I am outraged and ask her if she really means this and she confirms yes on everything. The whole ride there she keeps repeating this and I AM PISSED! I threaten to take her home but she thinks I'm joking. We get into the parking lot, I sit there and tell her to go in by herself. She wants me to come in. I question why if we are not friends, she just says I should and keeps up with the insults. I back the car up and we go to take her to her house.

She finally gets it through her head that I'm upset and gives me an insincere apology that I ignore. We don't talk again until we reach her house, she is huffing and puffing the whole way there. Once we reach her house I ask her what she wants to do here. She asks me if I'm kicking her out and I say I don't know. If she apologized that means she may understand why I'm upset. She doesn't and thinks I'm being over dramatic and have nothing to be upset over. The second she shuts the door I speed away.

She is not one to apologize as she is stubborn and I am sure as hell not going to. Right now I am pleased she will go hungry tomorrow morning, she deserves it. Was I in the right to not put up with that when she expected me, out of the goodness of my heart, to buy her ice cream? Should I just kick this girl to the curb if she refuses to acknowledge my feelings and jokes about the legitimacy of our friendship?

So I sold a lot of 21 games for $60 + $9 shipping on ebay. I didn't realize it at first but that many games is heavy and on a game lot, the most I can charge is $9 for shipping. Shipping came out to $18 and I printed out the label regardless. I asked the buyer if he would be willing to offer $9 more for shipping and he said he'd rather just cancel the transaction. That is fine with me, but I used "pay later" for shipping. Since I used "pay later", if the transaction is cancelled will the money still be taken out of my paypal account?

Anyone have any idea?

I can't stand it when I'm chilling on Facebook and I look at... oh say a picture uploaded by one of the Vocaloid pages I liked. I like some anime but I'm not a fan, I mostly enjoy the artwork. I cringe in anguish as I see people say things like "this is kawaii ne?" or "miku san rin san kawaii" or "this is kawaii desu", I mean c'mon learn at least some of the language before butchering it and ruining it (no hate intended towards the language) for me like morons. I'm actually learning Japanese so I sit there and I'm like "You moron you used 'is' twice in that statement" or "If you mean more than one person where the hell is your conjunction?". Why do they do this? Does this irritate the living crap out of anyone but me? (Yes this crap is living and it breathes fire!)

I had an N64 console that I bought come to my house today. Everything works but I don't get any signal on my VIZIO HD TV, though on my old TV everything is fine. I heard that an s-video cable would help with this problem or the Gamecube cable would help get this console to work on an HDTV. What I would like to know is, is this true?

I don't know what it is but next to getting my head scratched this is the BEST feeling ever when you clean you ears with a cotton swab. Why does it feel so damn good?
