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.

Mine does the same. Uses fan legs as pillows.

There is some labor out there that doesn’t really contribute to the reported GDP numbers. Water and wastewater workers don’t directly contribute to GDP numbers but do allow other people and businesses to contribute to GDP. The amount of treated water a city creates isn’t counted towards GDP.

That good feeling is a psychological reward. It is not physical. You cannot hold it, touch it, or give it to someone else for doing a job.

Sorry babe, i can’t vacuum the house cause I’m vegan.

TIL I’m not the only person with a wall full of hats

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?

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.)

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.

I’m not sure I’ve ever met someone “friendzoned” using a partner for that. Maybe for emotional support but what you described there is more how toxic relationships go down.

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.

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.

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.

This could be to avoid scuffing the floor

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.

The differential is a relatively new invention if we consider how long wheels have been around. You didn’t need a differential for a 1 wheeled hand cart like a wheel barrow nor for a wheeled drawn behind cart like a horse carriage.

And what optics is that? The artisit very specifically states that this art display was about trust and it is with their long term partner.
