Taiwan sounds amazing!

All I know is that one is a couch fucker. No clue who the other two losers are.

I agree with this. I love cooking and I’m a man. I do all of the cooking in my household. My fiancee never really learned how and I’d prefer to be the one who cooks anyway. I grew up in a very large family and I was the oldest so I learned a lot of things to help out like housekeeping and cooking. Boys really should learn how to cook. For me, it’s a fun creative outlet. It’s one of my favorite things to do.

They do it because they’re banking on elderly people to not know what they’re paying and lazy/oblivious people not to care. A long time ago, I would help older people with various things. Sometimes I’d play music for them or just listen to their stories. One thing I realized is that so many “legitimate” businesses exist simply because they’re scamming elderly people. I even worked for a PC repair shop for a few years. You can guess who 90 percent of our clientele was. We’d sell really shitty refurbished PCs to them for nearly a thousand dollars. They’d force me to try to make them trade in their PC regardless of the issue so we can part out their good parts and sell them some bare bones piece of shit. I felt so scummy while I worked there. It’s really gross how much of our economy is based on scams.

I’ve seen others bring up historical context before, but isn’t that just men with multiple wives because women had fewer to no rights in nearly every case.

I know. I only eat canned soup when I’m eating alone. If im making dinner for my partner and I it’s usually something more elaborate. I’m fine eating ramen and simple soup though.

$0.96 is pretty damn cheap and I don’t need to make any extra effort for all the protein I need for the night. I wish I had time and energy to cook more often, but I really appreciate having affordable options like this. If I was single I would be eating very cheaply with very little effort.

What was the joke? Michelob Ultra is my choice for light beer. It just tastes better than the other light alternatives. I’d prefer better beer, but sometimes you have to count your calories.

Some people, definitely. I get that it’s gross, but I also worked as a janitor and worked in landfills. I’ve dealt with much worse.

There’s definitely solutions to the problem. You could carry disposable gloves. People with dogs carry plastic bags everywhere. That could work in a pinch. You could wedge the door open and use your foot to open it to leave.

I personally just try to not use public toilets as much as possible. I carry hand sanitizer spray and a bottle of water in my backpack. It’s definitely gross, but it’s not unsolvable.

You clean your hands but then you have to touch a probably dirty handle to open the door.

If the government really wanted to protect children from the internet they’d provide locked down devices with spyware to each kid or they’d force parents to buy locked down devices. They’d punish parents if a child used a device that isn’t locked down. If they actually cared about protecting children they’d monitor their parents with spyware too. Why stop with government provided safe devices and spyware though, they could install cameras in every house that has kids just so they can monitor kids 24/7.

Obviously they’re not going to do any of that. There probably already is spyware in most devices and it’s not like they’re using it to protect them now. Banning VPNs for the sake of protecting children is just as stupid.

That makes sense! Everytime I’ve heard about delta 8 I was told you get a small high without the anxiety and if you have issues with regular weed then this will be a much better experience. It was not anything like what had been advertised, but I guess it’s for people who already smoke weed and want to switch to something more mellow.

Exactly, this shit is on his parents just as much as on him. More even. His parents didn’t teach him to respect women and girls and in general to respect other people’s boundaries.

I also think self defense for girls and young women should be a mandatory class taught at every school. This boy is already degrading girls sexually against their will. Girls should know how to protect themselves from creeps like him.

That’s what I’ve heard from others too. I’ve had mixed experiences with CBD tincture also. They all say there’s barely any THC in them, yet I do catch a buzz every once in awhile.

I just want to add this comment because it’s being discussed, but Delta 8 is much stronger than advertised. I used to smoke everyday and got into dabs for awhile. I stopped cold turkey for years and bought a delta 8 gummy on a whim online because everyone said if you have bad experiences with weed then Delta 8 is the way to go. Let me tell you that shit fucked me up badly.

I was in for a relaxing night just chilling with my girl and watching some foreign horror movie. I had such a strong reaction to Delta 8 that I tried to just lay down and close my eyes. I could feel every word that was spoken in the movie in my chest and fingertips. It was one of the worst weed experiences I’ve ever had. It’s so much stronger than advertised and I only ate half the gummy too. I didn’t have to upload my ID or anything to get it. I’m 100% in favor of full legalization of basically everything and letting adults do whatever the fuck kind of drug they want to do so this isn’t a post to sway anyone against weed or Delta 8. I just wanted to share my experience with it.

Our only hope now is the release of the Epstein files. I hope they can prove trump was a client and his whole base turns on him. That’s all I fucking want for Christmas.

True, look at all the oligarchs Putin offed to steal their money. Maybe Trump will kill Elon. I hear they aren’t friends anymore.

No worries! That is just the tip of the iceberg for the extremely fucked up childhood my siblings and I had. I’ve mostly made my peace with it, but my siblings still don’t talk to certain parents and I don’t blame them at all. We went through every kind of abuse a child can go through between my dad, mom, and step-dad. I just figured I’d share my experience since I just remembered it happened when I came across that meme.

I definitely get that feeling though. It is comforting to know that you weren’t alone in having had to deal with shitty adults as a child. I think it’s important for everyone to realize that some people should just never have kids regardless of what’s expected of people. My parents definitely should never have had children and I never will myself. I really think unless you are willing to sacrifice your time and freedom and dreams you shouldn’t have kids. Unfortunately, too many parents treat kids as extensions of themselves or accessories to their own life.

You’re right, the more I think about it something definitely could have happened had one of us scraped the money together for a flight. Another reason my mom might have been fine with it is that she was in high-school when she met my dad and he was 10 years older than her. She also let my sisters boyfriend move in when she was still in high-school and he was a lot older than her too so I could definitely see her letting me go. Like I said my parents were not good parents at all.
