  My first dates generally start with coffee then turn into a walk in the park if things are going well. A coffee shop is also just a convient place to meet. But I guess that is also going to depend on city layout.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand his coworker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people just come across as flirty. It usually isn’t deliberate and if you mistakenly interpret it as flirting that’s fine. Just don’t get all butthurt about it when it turns out they weren’t flirting with you like OP and then it’s no harm no foul.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon tries to understand his coworker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Coffee is a great first date if you met on a dating app. It’s a public location where you can both meet in person for the first time and chat but neither of you is forced to stay if things aren’t shaping up how you expected.

  But if you already know each other then yeah, coffee isn’t much of a date.

  Hydroponic tomatos are cheap, big, and never have any flavor. Those are what most fastfood uses.

  My condolences.

  Mostly joking, I dont know a damn thing about Arizona. There should be some beautiful national parks there but other than that it’s pretty empty. Vastly different landscape than the UK though so that should be interesting. Also you’re definitely visiting durring the right time of year.

  I’m not about to find them but there were a couple studies a while back that said regular prostate stimulation reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

  Of course those could always be like the studies that come out every year about how eggs/chocolate/coffee are good/bad for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Love her or hate her, she’s spitting facts⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Prostate exams actually aren’t recommended for most people anymore. It turns out they weren’t great at catching prostate cancer anyways. Now they only recomend them if you actually have a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors.

  But also I don’t think this is refering to pegging being a prostate exam. I’m fairly certain it’s refering to the fact that some studies have shown that regular prostate stimulation slightly reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Im flyinf to the USA from england⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Where in the USA are you going. Saying you’re going to the USA is like saying you’re going to europe. There’s a vast difference between the different states and regions within those states.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anons discuss PC vs console gaming⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You could definitely play diablo 2 with controller with the right maping. The person who first introduced my mom to diablo 2 was actually a paraplegic man she was a home care nurse for. He didn’t have enough motion to use keyboard and mouse properly but he did have just enough finger control that he could play by holding the mouse upside down in his hand and rolling the ball of the mouse with his thumb. That’s practically a joystick at that point. Apparently he was also pretty damn good.

  Do they use a lot of lotion? I’ve seen similar from someone who frequently used lotion on their hands.

  Instead of Josh Richmond my semiawake brain initially saw Richard Stallman and I was very confused for a moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  All the projections I’m seeing him show him almost certainly winning the popular vote. There’s a gap of 6 million votes and almost every state is over 90% reported in. That gap is going to likely shrink a bit, but unfortunately it almost certainly won’t be enough for him to even lose the popular vote.

  Lets face it, we’re (assuming you’re american) apparently just a country of facists. It looks like GOP is going to have majority in both houses too so here comes project 2025 I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do Americans win their country back?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump is winning the popular vote by a pretty decent margin. The electoral college isn’t the issue here.

  So glad that was censored. Almost lost mi innocence there.

  At the same time though, he sees where people have routinely fucked up. He sees exactly what critical incompatibilities get missed until it leads to a divorce.

  I’d say it’s more like an ER doctor teaching people how to use a chainsaw. They may not necissarily know what to do, but the sure as hell know what not to do.

  The higher potassium does make some sense if you consider that most people already get excessive amounts of sodium in their diet and comparitively little potassium. Sodium is in practically everything, potassium not so much.

  I would personally love to find an electrolyte mix with more potassium because I’ve had issues with potassium deficiencies. Of course I’m not about to buy this garbage and I doubt the shitheel selling it put that much thought into it.

  All human behavior can be explained by the movement of particles and or waves.

  Weird, I know people can be alergic to basically anything but I’ve neaver heard about those alergies. Are we talking about alergies as in full blown anaphylaxis or an alergies as in severe gastric distress?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon lives in the midwest⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My grandpa rents some of his fields out to an amish guy who also rents a lot of other fields in the area. The amish in our area are known to be pretty loose with their rules so my grandpa wasn’t surprised when the guy showed up with combine harvester but he was kind of surprised with how new it was. My grandpa asked him how he could drive a combine when they weren’t allowed to drive cars. To which the amish guy responded, “Well, I don’t actually drive the combine; it drives itself. I just sit in it.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon recommends a cast iron pan⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So a few tips for cast iron if you want to know why people like it. It does take a bit of practice because cooking with it feels different and wrong when you’re used to other pans. But once you know how to work it it legitimately does cook better and clean easier while being practically indestructable. I used to think the same as you until I made myself learn how to use it and now I will never go back.

  • Let it properly heat up before you put anything in it or it will stick. Flick a drop of water at it before cooking and if the water beads up then it is ready. Unlike other pans, cast iron has a lot of mass and takes a bit to warm up. But that also comes with the advantage of being able to maintain an even and stable temp across the pan. Cast iron feels like cooking on induction no mater what type of range you have.

  • When in doubt use more oil, butter, or grease.

  • Use metal tools. This alone is one of the big advantages of cast iron. Unlike other pans you don’t need to baby cast iron. I use a steel grill spatula on mine.

  • When you’re done cooking just wipe it out with a paper towel while it is still hot. Unlike other pans you actually want to leave a thin layer of oil or grease on cast iron. You only need to get the food out of it which usually only requires a quick wipe. If you cooked something saucy then just wash it like you would any other pan (except don’t leave it to soak), just be sure to completely dry it on the stove afterwords and apply a thin layer of oil to it.

  • Use it at least every other week. The more you use it just for frying thing the more nonstick it gets as the layer of seasoning builds up. Letting cast iron sit is how it gets sticky and nasty. If you are going to store it long term then wash it with soap, dry it on the stove, and coat it in a thin layer of flaxseed oil because that stuff stays good practically forever.

  Lol. $1200. That was literally the minimum because the invoice listed 0 miles and no supplies used. If they would have let me crawl then I would have.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon shares his dating preferences⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My only gripe with this is that nobody should have to defend themself for not wanting kids. If you don’t want kids then you don’t want kids and should be able to just leave it at that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol. I do definitely know a few people of the “sit on it till it’s septic” school of thought when it comes to going to the hospital.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s happened to me a while back because of a likely electrolyte imbalance. I actually passed out in the hospital urgent care because I had gone in for feeling so shitty. Then they call an ambulance to take me from the urgent care doors to the ER doors across the parking lot. Of course the first thing they did before the ambulance even got there was put a saline IV in so by the time I got to the ER I felt perfectly fine and the tests didn’t find anything. Doc said I probably just had low sodium. That’s also where I learned for the first time that SSRIs sap sodium from your body which seems like something they should tell you when they put you on them.
