Not when all your other mates all tried the same thing, then flipped completely.
The world when you grew up was filled with men doing this exact thing, the concept of the friend zone has been around forever and even before that, women didn’t really have a choice.
Plenty of men who didn’t take no for an answer, and wore down the woman until they said yes.

A note about battery life, Bobovr makes a great strap that has modular batteries. I don’t think they’ve made a full kit for the q3 that has multiple batteries and a separate charging dock for the batteries like they did for the q2, though… Happy to be corrected on this! Either way, they greatly extend playing time.
The strap itself is really comfortable and the battery helps counterbalance the weight of the quest itself. I know one of the q3 versions has a fan built in and the design lets you lie on your back and just watch movies.

- Comment on Is it okay to take drugs to make yourself a better person? Does it make a difference if "better" is mental or if it's physical? 1 month ago:
What a cracker of a question!
Short answer, yes.
Long answer, what sorts of side effects happen as a result of said medication? I don’t think there’s a single medication or even supplement out there that doesn’t have some sort of side effect (e.g., ibuprofen can cause gut bleeding, iron supplements can lead to constipation, grapefruit can screw with all sorts of medications), so balancing the cost benefit ratio is important.

True, but I travel out of the free tram zone and also see very few people tap on there too.
- Comment on It wasn’t just race and politics that motivated Voice to Parliament ‘no’ voters. Here’s what we found when we dug deeper 3 months ago:
They tended to believe ATSI weren’t disadvantaged in this society and that it is already a fair and equitable place? That they “preferred a hierarchical society where the social status of different groups is maintained”?
…yeah that’s just racism with extra steps. 🫣

As someone in dental, I’m crying about your teeth. That’s a lot of acidity to be putting in your mouth.
- Comment on What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance amd can't afford dental care? 4 months ago:
Once you’ve spat out as much as possible, it’s not a foaming mess, just a smear.
Many toothpastes don’t foam either.
If you dislike not rinsing at all, my tip is to brush, rinse, then smear a very small amount of fresh toothpaste on.

Waterflossers are better than nothing. Best is floss to get the stuff wedged at the contact, then interdental brushes to get the stuff under the contact - these must be snug, otherwise you’re not effectively using them.
Soft and small toothbrush, preferably an electric with a pressure sensor. The counter oscillating Crest/Oral B type is probably the most affordable. Don’t need to get the top model. Some only time 2 minutes instead of 30s, so I’d recommend counting to 30 seconds (properly! Not rushing!) and do a quarter of your mouth at a time. Point at the gumline a little when you brush, approximately 45 degrees. You just push your lips and tongue out of the way. Do an extra minute after you’re done with 2 minutes. Do this at least twice daily, consider a third time during the day, and you must not skip the one just before you sleep. Do not consume anything but water after this and prior to sleep. Do not get a midnight snack.
Use neutrafluor/prevident 5000 toothpaste, or clinpro 5000. Extra fluoride means extra protection from acid challenges. Use neutrafluor mouthwash if you must use a m/w during the day. Do not rinse the paste off your teeth.
Eliminate where possible from your diet anything sour, tart, or fizzy. That includes soda water and citrus and ACV. Eliminate where possible sweet things, including fruit - especially dried fruit.
Rinse with plain water after eating and drinking. Common triggers are foods that may be fried, fatty, and or spicy. Some people are triggered by dairy or lactose, or eating too late before lying down.
Treat your heartburn by prevention, not relievers. If you experience any symptom relating to heartburn, rinse thoroughly with plain water. Do this too if you vomit for any reason.
If you have dry mouth, try Xylimelts or the new range Freshmelts (this doesn’t seem toxic to dogs). You can wear these during your sleep. Also treat the origin of your dry mouth.
…I’m sure I have other tips… But these are the most common ones I make to my patients.

- Comment on How come hotel check-in time is always 3-4? 7 months ago:
Some places do early check-in and late check-out, and yet others actually have the capacity for you to hire the place for a day rate.
Capsule hotels would be ideal for this.

I have absolutely encountered way more smug meat eaters than vegans or vegetarians… They go out of their way to make sexual jokes about forcing some sausage down people’s throats, too.

There was some other study done way earlier which compared ethnic first and last, western first and ethnic last, and western first and last.
The results are as you can expect…

I’ve heard lack of helmet makes car drivers give more space as they’re more aware of how squishy the rider is. 🤷🏻♀️
