- Comment on Why can't I change the terms and conditions in a pre-signed contract with a corpo? 2 weeks ago:
Some of it is nearly non negotiable. Like my bank changing their terms and conditions, sure i could go to another bank, but they’ve probably already got the same terms and conditions or the same changes coming. And it can be very difficult to live a normal life without a bank account.

What is your diet like? When i eat poorly it really effects my energy. Im not even 30 yet but I’ve noticed i can’t eat junk foods like i did just a few years ago, they leave me feeling lethargic. I tend to do best on a more whole foods diet. Like cooking chicken breast instead of chicken nuggets and avoiding ultra processed foods.
Also is your sleep actually good quality? Do you use any drugs like Marijuana before bed? Are you dreaming pretty consistently? Is your bed time and wake up time consistent?
- Comment on Men are generous 2 weeks ago:
My assumption is they either have a small peepee or poor stamina in terms of lasting. Should still be able to get around either of those issues with the right partner so long as you are both willing to try things (dildo, more hands or mouths involved instead of penetration etc.)
- Comment on Men are generous 2 weeks ago:
I may have worded my response poorly as your explanation is similar to what i meant. If half of the 1000 gay men are DTF that would be 500 potential rando partners or 50% of their population. You would only need 2.5% of the 20,000 women to be DTF to have the same number of 500 potential partners. Regardless if you aren’t confident you won’t be as successful in either group.

Right cause straight people dont use things like tinder for quick sex. Given its still a minority population thats gay id say your chances of finding platonic sex while straight is as high or higher than finding a hook up while gay. The per capita gay FWB may be higher, but the sheer population of straight people skews the numbers to still being pretty easy to find just sex for straight people.

You joke but as an overworked trades guy who recently bought a fixer upper house and trying to gainweight/muscle mass this is actually my life.
Most of my time not at work is spent repairing something at home, doing chores, working out, or cooking. Usually multitasking them like doing the dishes while resting between sets.

The games can be hit or miss depending how serious it gets. I personally haven’t been on discord as much cause my friends are gaming and doing call outs and clearly focused on that meanwhile id rather actually catch up, shoot the shit and stuff. Its lame getting old.
- Comment on How do you make friends online? 2 weeks ago:
you’ll never see people argue IRL like they do online
You haven’t met me or my friends and family. Just yesterday i got into an argument with my dad about AWD systems on an SUV i recently researched and purchased meanwhile he knew nothing about that specific system. We usually call it off before it gets to the “nice opinion asshole, go jerk off in your echo chamber” level.

I grew up with a girl whom was chronically online and she typically had much stronger friendships with her online friends than her IRL ones. It works differently for different people. Now she has more balance and has even flown to other countries to visit online friends.
- Comment on Men are generous 2 weeks ago:
Hook up culture is very much a thing for straight people. Friends with benefits and booty calls are very normalized. I know several people who have lists of potential bang buddies. I knew of a few friend groups when i was younger where nearly every guy had slept with every girl in the group. If you dont want to be monogamous, just make that clear with potential partners. In my experience i actually struggle to get into monogamous relationships these days as many people don’t really want to commit to someone.

- Comment on modern classic 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on *landbastard intensifies at the right of replacing a 2 dollar light switch". 3 weeks ago:
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 [deleted] 5 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.

I pretty much only ever cook eggs on it and i don’t notice any rancid flavor
- Comment on Non-stick pans? 5 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.
