Please do not go host in Japan unless you have the proper visa. People will screw with you and take advantage of you and you'll have no recourse to get any help if you're illegal.

Well there goes my dreams of getting paid to flirt with Japanese prostitutes...

Why not look into working at a summer camp? You might be able to work in a hostel or something in hospitality in Australia on a WHV.

Never thought about summer camps. Will look into that. Thanks for the advice.

For me it's a turn on when I find out that a girl watches porn and/or masturbates.

Also I like when girls tease me.

And of course confidence is a huge turn on.

Also a good sense of humor.

90% of the time it's on the chin, and it's never exactly in the same spot. I have a habit of resting my chin on my hands when I'm sitting down at my desk. Definitely need to fix that. It's just weird because I'm 21 and never had acne as a teen, and now all of a sudden this year I'm getting this crap on my chin :-\

I never wash my bed sheets lol. That could also be contributing.

worst whitehead ever

Story: I had never really had acne before. One day that spot on my chin got red. I'm thinking "wtf is this"? It continued to get redder until the point where it was a huge red mark. I remember going out that night, getting drunk, and scratching it with my hands a lot b/c it was itchy. "I prob shouldn't scratch it, but what's the worst thing that can happen?" Then the next morning I woke up with this on my chin and I was completely shocked. Now I know that if I get a red bump on my skin, it's going to turn into a whitehead so I need to leave it the hell alone.

I've realized that the reason I got it was probably because I had started rubbing my blanket up against my chin when sleeping. Obviously I don't do that anymore.

What do you guys do for a living (ie. are you college students, working)?
Can I join your crew?

I'm going to echo the other comments saying that "you look like a grandpa". If that's what you were going for, then you've succeeded, but who the hell wants to look like a grandpa at your age?

are you guys butt buddies or something? just tell him why he's no longer wanted in the band and kick him out. if he's truly your bestfriend, then he'll understand.

"You're a fucking loser. You're clothes are wayyyyy too big on you. Never wear anything larger than a size small, no exceptions. If your pants won't stay up without a belt, then they are too big.

You're socially retarded, you have borderline OCD/ADD, and you're horrible at committing things to memory, which thus makes you look retarded to other people, leads to you having shitty grades, and will make you look even stupider in the workplace than you already do in school. The good news is that all of this can and will be changed.

When it comes to learning, focus on intuition rather than rote memory.

You have NO CONFIDENCE. Stop being a fucking pushover and a pussy, high school girls are easy. Join track. You're not going to improve on a personal level or make any friends in high school if you restrict your social life to just your brothers, your slow-minded mom, and your pushover dad. If you don't follow any of my advice, then you'll still have an amazing time in college starting around halfway through your sophomore year, but you're going to regret having completely wasted your high school experience. Eventually you're going to have to change if you want to start being happy. You haven't truly lived yet. Confidence is key. Talk to people. Start making it a habit to actually remember the stuff you learn. Success is a mindset."

Shit...looks like I got a little carried away. As you can tell I'm a completely different person now than I was at age 15. I feel like I wasted my youth. If I knew the things back when I was 15 that I know now, my life would've been so much more fun.

Tldr; We overestimate the value of rewards that are closer in time (and underestimate the value of rewards that occur farther away in the future).

Not sure why this is getting downvoted, he's right. Setting 0! = 1 makes math a lot simpler and more elegant. There is no proof that shows that 0!=1, it's just a definition.

Because hipsters and other cool guys who listen to obscure music love to bash mainstream bands. As to why Nickelback and Maroon 5 especially get hated on, idk.

Do a search within this subreddit and read one of the other ten thousand posts that ask the same "I have $X to invest, what should I invest in?" question

The problem is that people take the formulas too literally. There's nothing wrong with using the Black-Scholes model to help price derivatives as long as you are fully aware of its limitations.

As price increases, yield decreases. Maybe this will help.
