I mean… I’d prefer to stay away from that whole continent if possible. But if I had to pick, I’d go to whatever town has that Casa Bonita restaurant

Yeah, I only found out about the podcast like a month after making an account here! Listened to a few episodes and it didn’t really get it because it’s a bit too America centric 🤷 Like whenever they talk about US Senators or politicians, I have no idea who those people are.

That recent Jewish Tunnel episode was absolutely amazing tho! I even tried to get my husband to listen to it, cause his Jewish mom gets up to exactly the same kinds of hijinks and schemes.

Beat up a TERF today and let them have that same hospital discharge paper 💅

Both my husband and I are children of expats from former Soviet countries. And while I think I’m fairly open to socialist ideas, I do get caught up on the fact that the people among our relatives who are most nostalgic for the Soviet Union are also VERY racist, homophobic, terrible to animals and just generally mean to everyone around them. And their food, in all its hyper-processed mystery meat and mayonnaise glory, kinda sucks.

Any tips for getting over that bias?

smh, all those non german speakers throwing around theories. As a native german speaker I can tell you the real reason:

… it just would sound weird without it. 🤷

There also are a lot of tourists coming to the Christmas markets, sometimes from quite far away.

Those people either completely take public transit (they’ll be drinking anyways, so public transit is easier to get back home) or go for the park + ride offers that pop up during that time. It works pretty well.

Oh that! Loved that video haha

Your wording made it sound like hbg was the one losing 3 channels, not the one who killed them, so I was confused at first too

Hmm, maybe ReVancedExtended would solve your problems? I know my RvM has no issues with custom patches even without root, but it might just be a device/os version weirdness. I’ve heard RvX is overall better with the non-root support, but I’ve never used it personally

That’s weird! My phone isn’t rooted either (Moto G100) and I’ve only manually updated Revanced once since it was released. I don’t think it has ever lost my settings either. Is the option “Auto Update Patches” checked in your Revanced Manager?

Install Youtube ReVanced and disable shorts altogether! Doing that saved me years of lifetime haha

oh, it’s that funny little picture of a piggy again!

Raccoons! I can’t believe we don’t already have them here!!

Binding of Isaac! I must have watched at least 2000h of Northernlion playing it and have complete knowledge of everything about that game. But I do suck at it and have played maybe like 10h in total just cause I don’t have the hand-eye coordination for it haha

I’ve started dating a bit late and let me tell you: you can’t really be behind. Yeah, there’s some generic interpersonal experience you get from dating, but that maxes out at like, 3 months of dating. So I’d put someone who’s dated for 3 months and someone who’s dated for like 6 years at basically the same point experience wise, if they’re both put into a situation where they’re back on the dating market after it.

You do build personal rapport with a person during a relationship, but people start and stop those all the time - everyone’s on a different schedule, you can’t really compare yourself to that.

Oh, and on the weight loss point - don’t sweat it!! Being chubby is way less of a dealbreaker when you’re a guy. And the people who do mind aren’t people you should be giving a chance to anyways 🤷

Fitness can be a lot of things. Health can be a lot of things. It just really depends on what your goals and needs are.

If there are heart problems rampant in your family tree, you might want to consider strengthening your cardiovascular system through things like running or biking. Give C25K a shot and see how you feel. Maybe do some Maffetone style training after that just to learn to deal with running slowly and consistently.

If you’re worried about brittle bones, arthritis and muscle issues when you age, try some resistance training. Your local gym will definitely have beginner courses available that show you all of the machines in a basic training circuit. Then you just play around with weight amounts and set ranges depending on more granular goals.

If your goal is just aesthetic (also completely valid), it’s probably a diet thing or a combination of cardio/strength training that will get you there.

Generally, I’d say just pick a thing that you reasonably like (don’t expect to love it right away, don’t drop it when you hate it atm) and stick with it until you’ve convinced yourself that you’re a “fitness person”. Just that self perception will be an absolute game changer!

For me personally, just that change in self perception has brought me from “ugh it’s sunday I need to go on a run because my training program wants me to go on a run on sunday” to “oh it’s sunday, time to go on my run cause that is what I do”. No need for convincing, no need for motivation, no need to tax my brains’ go/no go mechanisms.

gay sex really is flourishing around here. My chronically over sharing work buddy says his body count has gone over the 3 digit mark a while ago. He’s reduced his hours to 30 a week so that he has more time for gay sex. Truly based.

interesting! I’ve never heard of people preferring to crumple their paper.

I’m a woman who lives in a college town famous for its high quality Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Computer Science degrees. So the woman to man ratio in the 20-30 age group is like 1:4 at best.

So a lot of guys I’m friends with just don’t get laid cause the math doesn’t work out 🤷

Some of them tho… should probably do a bit of soul-searching first. Being dismissive about “female interests” like makeup and the gym while also being weirdly fetishistic about “gamer grill interests” like cosplay and video games just makes talking to them really hard. Like, they’ll always look at everything you say through a lens of “how does that benefit ME?” - Talking to them is a literal minefield.

Another factor is also that they’ll exclusively hang out in male spaces and just expect women to show up and talk to them somehow??? Like yeah, don’t sign up to ballet just to creep on women, but expanding your horizon beyond Friday Night Magic won’t kill you. I’ve heard Lorcana is great, and there are plenty of women playing it at my local game store… just casually talking to them during a game would be a normal human interaction

Not embarrassing, just disappointing.

Precum contains next to no sperm, so it’s really unlikely to get pregnant from it. Apparently Sex ED universally exaggerates that chance so that people don’t get the dumb idea to rely on pulling out.

I mean it’s probably the right way to teach it that way, but you know, if someone theoretically had a bit of an impregnation kink, it sure would make them sad :(

easy, you move to a different community or instance.
