I miss the beard. I feel like I watch less since he shaved, but that just might be a coincidence as my ADHD makes me binge different content in spurts.

The funny thing is I’d prefer the stepping, and not in a sexual way. My back always hurts and a good walk across my back is always bliss.

This is true, but I felt like I already learned that lesson shaving my face, ya know the classic chin up position to make the neck skin taught. But you right it’s far far more important down there. Way more room for error.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Maybe atypical, but I wouldn’t call it weird like it was wrong or something. Though I’m not entirely sure what there is to show. I feel like you kinda just have to get the hang of it yourself. The risks and fears are not irrational. No one wants to knick down there. But the concept is pretty straight forward.

Ah, fair! Didn’t think of that.
- Comment on Streaming Subscriptions May Get Tougher to Cancel 2 weeks ago:
If companies make cancelling a pain, you can use Privacy.com to make virtual cards that are easy to disable or limit as you see fit. Downside is it’s basically debit passthrough, so no credit card points or protection, but still can be handy situationally.
- Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles? 2 weeks ago:
I do. I have a nice temperature control pouring kettle. But I imagine that unless a person is into tea or a coffee enthusiast, most Americans are probably fine with a drip coffee machine and a microwave is fairly fast at boiling a mug too.

Man I went to a very affluent school and no one gave a shit about what sneakers we had. Unless you had Heeley’s of course. ZOOM!

- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 3 weeks ago:
ROFL so instead of taking me directly to these supposed job postings, you link me random Internet garbage that says they exist with the same credibility that you have. Which is none.
Meanwhile friends of mine have protested and not gotten paid anything. But they are probably Illuminati.
Mount Rushmore was a cover up.

Where do I get one of these paid protest jobs? Do I need to be on the Illuminati Newsletter?

Another idea to add to the pile, Google your county’s “board of elections” and I think you’ll probably find some resources and where the finalized ballots will be ahead of the election date.

Or even overcompensating in the other direction in order to avoid the appearance of favoritism.

I did briefly mention that, yes, straws definitely help! I would recommend them.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 5 weeks ago:
Lol, I wish. As far as I know, this isn’t a well documented thing, my PCP was kinda like, “huh, that’s interesting, I wonder how many people are dehydrated because of that.”
The only reason I discovered this is cuz my girlfriend knows me very very well and she suspected there was something off. So she asked me probing questions until we discovered I’m literally drinking incorrectly.
So the best I can do is give you a couple of different ways to drink and see if you notice any difference in how easy or difficult it is to comfortably drink without ingesting air.
So first thing we did was have me drink from a bottle. Any bottle where you can form a full seal around the opening with your mouth. Tilt back and let the fluid fill your mouth as much as possible before starting to swallow. That should mean a very minimal amount of air in the first gulp, and no additional air in each subsequent gulp because it’s sealed.
Contrast that with drinking from a normal glass, and you may find that you’re gulping down air as you’re drinking with each gulp. In that case, a straw will probably prevent you from doing that.
But really drinking from a bottle really illustrated the mechanical difference to me and made me realize my hatred for drinking was definitely born of a physical discomfort which was ultimately from a poor technique.
And after I thought about it, I was like ya know, no one really ever taught us how to drink did they? We all just figure it out, and assume we all learned the same lessons.
This might have all been the biggest factor in me never really being into drinking alcohol, because the very concept always sounded like a chore to me.
Anyway, I hope that helps!
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 5 weeks ago:
I only recently found out I have literal bad technique when it comes to drinking fluids, end up inadvertently swallowing too much air which makes it an unpleasant experience. Combined with ADHD and I’m a poster child for dehydration. Not that I experience much issues, but my skin is definitely dry.

I used to but now I’m using a very thin case from Latercase. I’d say cases are the norm.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 1 month ago:
NY has towns and villages. A township is way larger than a village. For example the Town of Huntington vs the incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor within the town. We also have hamlets, like Huntington Village, which are similar but unincorporated.
However, all of this I’d consider suburban, not rural.

You can wheels within wheels this shit for eternity. Answer this question and you’ll have the answer. What do you want to do? Do that.
You can steal it, buy it, borrow it, whatever. Ultimately there is no objective right answer. If you think you’ll be better equipped to counter argue the message by reading it, I say that’s more honorable than arguing against it without knowing what it is.
