AI or not, I hate the modern trend of home colors being grey, black, and white. I don’t care about the “professional look” or “modern design”, its my home not a workplace. First thing i did was paint my house when I got it and even though I don’t love every color I chose it gave it a major face lift from the dull grey walls. The yellow I chose for one wall is bathed in sunlight and really makes my wooden toned furniture and green leaved house plants pop out against it.

This does depend on where you live. I have had pets in every “no pets” lease I’ve ever had because in my area its unenforceable and not an envictable offence unless under very specific circumstances, usually the landlord would have to be living in the same building and have an allergy to pets to be able to enforce a no pets rule.
Theres lots of bullshit landlords will put in a lease because they think whatever they write is law but there are often certain standards that apply regardless of what the lease says.

His vampirisim restricting his self control gave an aura of a man struggling to contain his own power, and she was what pushed him over the edge and to lose control of himself. If anyone else had done what he did they’d be a creepy predator, but when he did it he was the sexiest, sweetest creature to ever lay his hands upon her.

Yea t shirt sleeves tucked is ridiculous, but standard sleeve tuck i get. I don’t personally do it because i find it way too tight around the arms to get anything done.

As a male, this is counter to everything ive been told about sleeves. I’ve been told that rolled up sleeves are basically lingerie for men when done right.

Its about control. Being active is great overall but could leave some weak spots or even be wearing things out. Certain muscles might not get worked quite right or to their full range of movement. Working out with good technique and variety should hit all your muscles and identify any tight or painful spots you need to work on.
If you’re after results, like increased strength, endurance, or a better physique, then thats where training comes in. You have to push to near failure to demand muscle growth. If you start biking 5 miles a day, those first few weeks and months you might grow a bit, but eventually that 5 miles won’t be as challenging and you’ll plateau in terms of strength and endurance. Thats where training, either training the muscles or doing more cycling, really starts to work. Thats how you grow and start improving again.

Its cause you got it for the wrong reasons. Its more attractive when you got the bike for the bike and yourself.

Cook as if feeding an army. Freeze extra servings if you can. Saves me a lot of time both in cooking and the cleaning.

I think it boils down to communication. If both parties understand the expectations in the relationship, then it is fine, and thats what this meme implies as well. However one party leading the other on, maybe playing the bf/gf role without wanting the commitment while the other wants full commitment is disingenuous imo.
- Comment on that’s why it’s just a summer fling 2 weeks ago:
I’ve learned this lesson the hard way a couple times. My problem is the only women who like me either have a bf, have a “daddy”, or are the above example and like being chased, often 2 or 3 of those points. It gets very frustrating idk what is about me that attracts that type of lady.

During the video you can hear them mention a few times that they really need to get going and right at the end the other train passes thus allowing them to finally get out of there.

Well the bacon fat does help the aspirin slide in so it makes sense to me.

I doubt she’d want me standing to that on the toilet either so standing shits are unfortunately delegated to the bathtub and waffle stomp treatment
- Comment on Non-stick pans? 2 weeks ago:
I pretty much only ever cook eggs on it and i don’t notice any rancid flavor
- Comment on Non-stick pans? 2 weeks ago:
Curious about how you mentioned cast iron needs the most work to maintain non stick, especially with eggs. I have a cast iron pan that i scrape clean every couple of weeks. I cook 2 eggs in it every morning. Once theres a layer of melted butter i rarely have eggs stick unless i overdo them or have too high of heat. I do get some sticking when i add some ham to the cast but I always put the eggs on one side and the ham on the other so the residue from the ham never impacts the eggs and builds flavor between scraping.
- Comment on Non-stick pans? 2 weeks ago:
I always heat my cast after washing and ill sometimes do a light season with some oil once the water is evaporated. Tbh i rarely wash the cast though. I tend to give it a really good scrape with a metal spatula or scraper then its good to go again until its due for another scraping.
- Comment on Take 'er easy 2 weeks ago:
I cannot effectively rest until a reasonable amount of my shit is done, but i work 6 days a week, 10-12 hours a day so I have no choice but to be productive on my one day off. I’ve been so busy I’ve been getting chores done a bit at a time during rests on my work out days to try to catch up.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been seeing a girl recently and been trying to sit rather than stand. She owns her own home alone so to me it feels very rude to piss all over the floor and seat, even if its just a drop or two that gets away from the bowl. If i wanna stand so badly I’ll just go with her dogs in the yard.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
So what, you expect people to just not use the urinals provided and instead wait 5 minutes for a stall to open up then have to clean the taco bell spray from the last guy in there before you can get your business done?
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
When in doubt press it down. Thats what i do when going with a chubb.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
I usually just try to spread cheek on the toilet, using the seat to lock the spread in place
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
Have you tried a stool to elevate your legs and put you closer to a squat? It really helps the movement down there. I know that poop marker thing you’re talking about but i don’t get it everytime, just on rare occasions.

If they don’t have cocks, then they probably don’t have balls, which means they have nowhere to store their pee and therefore never have to pee.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
I just don’t want to piss on other peoples floor. Its one thing to piss on my floor and for me to clean it up, its another thing to piss on someone elses floor and expect them to clean it up.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
I was stand wiper as a kid cause i never knew any better i guess. Someone told me you could reach around and clean before the cheeks close together and it blew my mind and I’ve never looked back.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
I scoot forward or slide back to get a finger down there if needed, usually forward and from the side of the package. If my business is done i can slide back far enough that my butthole is over the seat and spread pretty wide. When standing i got my pants and underwear in the way and gotta bend the knees and spread the thighs a bit to get a good angle while trying to aim that last squirt.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 weeks ago:
No I’m thinking a normal toilet. Maybe if you are on the shorter side you can get a more favorable angle but otherwise the piss stream hits the porcelain at a nearly perpendicular angle and sprays nearly everywhere. Not as drastically as in the water but enough i can sometimes feel the mist if I’m in shorts.
