Pfft, you can keep her. She’s grumpy and worn out. Ima go steal OP’s mom.

Ummmmm. My brain did a thing. That title doesn’t actually ask how to orgasm, does it?

Usually through sexual activity, be it solo or with friends and family

Never.

I’m old. I’m disabled. So I fucking sit down to pee like a civilized being.

Then I shake, wiggle, or otherwise assist things to drip out. Then clear the pipe from the bottom up and repeat. Then I’ll blot things to be sure.

Pay off the house, catch up on repairs, then sit on it because it’ll fuck my insurance and be gone paying for medical stuff in maybe ten years

Never happens for me, across a laptop and three PCs

Likely either mint or popos

They tend to be the most liked by newcomers. Enough so that they don’t miss windows, or want to try something else a week later.

Hey, maybe they have a specific wall up which they are driven!

You know, I actually prefer that it be variable, but only when it serves a purpose.

Like, if Im quoting someone “I might want to indicate that they completed a sentence.”, but also continue beyond it.

Yes, but we got the good aussie slang!

Like, “no worries”. Fucking love it.

Ain’t ain’t a word.

It is now.

Well, you’re gonna have trouble finding many men here that are genuinely “afraid” if homosexuality. Those that exist are unlikely to respond because it’s painting a giant target on themselves.

So, you’ll likely have to settle for second and third hand answers.

With that caveat in mind, I grew up in the south where the kind of homophobia that isn’t necessarily bigotry (though it usually is) sometimes gets discussed if you approach people right.

The general answers I ever got amounted to social approbation. They’re not so much scared of gay people, or gay acts, and almost universally not of “turning gay”. It’s that they have this idea that behind anything other than anti gay gets them tarred and feathered with the same brush.

Yeah, the other reasons exist, but it really does come down to being scared of sharing the same fate as gay people if they don’t object enough. And it is an actual fear, rather than hatred, it just shares the same external trappings. And, for most of the people that have that fear, they would rather share the label of bigot than the label of gay.

But make no mistake, it isn’t common. The kind of yelling-at-the-screen shit is just as performative, but it’s the flip side of the fear. Those assholes believe that they seem more manly by doing so. It’s territorial pissing and chest thumping.

It’s one of the reasons I dislike phobia being the suffix for forms of bigotry. While phobos, and thus phobia has relation to rejection of things, it’s a misnomer to say that most bigots are really acting out of fear. Which is dangerous, possibly even more dangerous than regular hate. But also not as dangerous as blind hatred paired with dehumanization of a target. The mental processes involved in bigotry are far more insidious than simple ignorance and fear of the unfamiliar.

Which is tangential, but I think worth examining.

Then you just wasted your time and everyone else’s.

Well, I have a ps5. It gets almost daily use.

I still sometimes regret getting it instead of other options because of Sony.

That being said, that’s really the only issue. In terms of the device itself, it’s the best console I’ve had or used. If Sony got out of the way and didn’t limit what you can do with the damn things, it would be a no brainer for causal gaming. Alas, they won’t. So I can never recommend it.

Phone, it’s connect or summit, depending on which phone. I like summit’s looks better on oled screens. Otherwise it’s connect

I’ve seen kudzu pull down a house. Wasn’t instant, or even fast really. But just by growing over it and the various tendrils doing their thing, it collapsed.

Stop the bleed, CPR, general first aid via whatever local resource you have (like red cross, but anyone reputable will do).

That’s going to handle any realistic scenario you’ll encounter that wouldn’t need more gear than you can carry in a small toolbox.

Lets see.

Green just tonight. Had a weird light kit, so I triple looked

Before that, last I was out of the house was… Friday? Thursday? Anyway, a yellow mustang was in the line at the drugstore.

Haven’t seen purple in ages. Orange? I wanna say a few months ago. Old vw beetle.

Pink? Last time I saw that was maybe ten, fifteen years ago. Somewhere in that range. It stuck in memory because it was a lifted pickup.

That’s on the road though. As in I was out driving and they were either doing the same, parked at a business or home, or at a car sales place. I don’t think car shows count, otherwise I would say I’ve seen every damn color out there a few months ago driving past one.

Truth is that factory paint colors are picked by what sells. And most people don’t want yellow and orange. Purple, I’m kinda surprised it isn’t an option more often

Generally, I go with a fairly robust case. Supcase makes my favorite ones, with poetic being runner-up that’s essentially the same basic idea. I tend to favor the ones with a built in paid plastic protector though. Since the cases have a solid lip on them, it saves me having to fuck with application. Arthritis is a bitch

Realistically, what you need is dogs, plural. There’s a reason almost every culture in the world has a history with them.

And a pack of them, breeding as you go, is going to be the best way to keep surviving because they can be trained to be guards, alarms, hunters, fighters, hot water bottles, and they can be food in a real emergency. That last one sucks to think about, but sacrificing one or two so that you and the pack can keep alive is just what you have to do.

Don’t get hung up by thinking a given breed is ideal, because it won’t be generalist enough. You just get medium size and large-ish dogs, and train the succeeding generations as best fits their abilities rather than trying to breed for specific jobs.

Dogs are also imminently personable. You’ll be alone, or not able to trust other humans. Having animals that can fulfill our social needs is vital, and dogs are our best option for that long term, in a survival situation.

Now, if the apocalypse is a bit less dangerous daily, keeping a population of chickens, and goats is a good idea. They’ll serve as alarms easily, and can be food or food producers. They’re both easy to tame as well, if you start young.
