Washington got a really awesome governor.

ITT: none of the power posters I was thinking of. Suspiciously silent now, eh?

Y’all ever watch the og Alvin and the Chipmunks movie where the Chipmunks race the Chipettes in hot air balloons while unknowingly being smugglers? It holds up pretty well, considering.

I go to a monthly meeting for a society I’m in and it’s like this. We eat, drink, and watch a presentation. It’s cool, I like them.

Not necessarily about fresh snow. Old snow packs down into hard, slick ice and sometimes fresh snow gives you way more traction. Depends on the temperature.

I’ve been to two. One was very small and one was in a giant stadium. I went because I wanted to hear the local politician talk in the first one. The stadium one I was kinda dragged to but I didn’t mind, it was a Bernie rally.

Yeah … I’m sorry. It doesn’t get any easier. Over time you get beaten down and don’t have the luxury of putting energy into being angry about it. Like, your rage is on a low simmer on the back burner.

Men are blissfully unaware of what pain they cause and what privilege they enjoy and anytime you try to bring up women’s issues they scream “not all men”. Because yes it isn’t all men but we’re not talking about those men in the first place.

Talking about it here is likely to gain negative attention so I understand you’re venting but they’re not going to listen. It’s not impacting anyone. And it’s dangerous because while Lemmy is safer than reddit, you could still piss off the wrong person who might go after you. I’m sorry. There’s very little justice.

I hear and acknowledge your pain.

Hm. Sounds like something to bring up to a doctor actually. If she’s comfortable and willing. She could have a birth defect or could have had surgery in the area that could have damaged nerves, or she was injured and damaged nerves.

The clitoris is larger than what you see and it might be able to be stimulated from elsewhere if it isn’t injured.

In the meantime try for the g spot and vibrators everywhere until you maybe find something that works.

But yeah, worth mentioning to a doctor.

It’s it that she doesn’t like the sensation of she just can’t cum? It may be too “intense” so you can try stimulating near the clit with a vibrator instead of directly on.

Try G spot simulation- use a couple of fingers in a “come hither” motion inside. Maybe try that after having piv sex as she may be more turned on. Be communicative together.

Try other erogenous zones like nipples and neck simultaneously as clitoral stimulation and/or g spot.

Use toys in all configurations.

Never really liked her but mostly don’t think about her.

What? OP’s routine is fairly minimal.

I agree with you about showering every day but you really should use at bare minimum a cleanser, a moisturizer, and sunscreen.

The first gets dirt and grime and the world off your face, the second replenishes the moisture in your skin, and the last protects your skin. Pretty simple.

Adding in an active like an AHA or tretinoin is only if you have problems (acne would be an example but there are other issues) or if you care about anti-aging.

Some people have like 20 step routines and more and I think THAT is excessive and sometimes can irritate skin more. I once when down the rabbit hole of too many products and had horrible rebound issues because of it.

I used to have bad acne until I found a routine similar to OPs and the right combination of skincare can dramatically improve your skin. For health reasons mostly but healthy skin looks better too.

I’m not trying to attack you, I just ask that you don’t knock it just because you’ve never tried it. Maybe you were genetically blessed to not need anything except water and bar soap. Lucky you! I’m envious , truly.

But some people need extra help or just like to pamper their skin. Taking special care of your hygiene isn’t something to dig on someone about, or say it’s not healthy when you’re not well versed in the world of skincare.

Severe treatment resistant depression here, not able to be controlled through medication, will never feel good yadda yadda.

I find goal setting is very important. “I just have to make it to X” then just move the goal post.

My kitty is soft and cuddly.

A gamedev I know who has a currently running online MMO says:

"Don’t overthink it. When I learned gamedev I learned how to display something on the screen, I learned how to move things on a screen, how to play sound effects and music, and then rolled it all together to make a simple pong game. If you can make that you can scale up from there. Buy an asset pack off of itch.io for whatever genre you want to make. "

For context this guy made his engine from scratch.

Your friend refers to LGBTQIA as referring to “aspects of non-cisgendered life” and it makes me doubt their understanding of the community because there are plenty of cisgendered people within the community…less the obvious exceptions.

Also autism symptoms can overlap and it would be extremely hard to find a label for your specific combinations of symptoms.

LGBTQIA+ started as separate communities that came together. ASD is already one community, it didn’t start as disparate communities based on a single set of extremely varied symptoms.

The closer answer is “Neurodivergent” encompassing ASD, ADHD, and others. ASD is accurate whereas neurodivergent is the umbrella term.

Everything changed. You’re not crazy. If you watch movies made before the 2000s about office culture, including the movie 9 to 5, you can see that the hours included a lunch break. Which was paid.

Yes, those of the older generation had it easier in every way.

They mean your post is poorly written and hard to parse.

I don’t recall as it was mentioned by someone in passing (and stuck with me) but I can tell you that the rocks they were in are exceptionally iron rich, which is why the mine was there.

This is interesting and important but fun fact, but maybe not the first case of 2 billion+ yr old microbes. There were microbial organisms found in a mine in Minnesota coming from 2.6 billion year old rock and they suspected they were coming from water trapped when the rock, banded iron formation, formed in an ancient ocean. IIRC there were two bacteria - one that eats sulfur and excretes iron, and one that eats iron and excretes sulfur.

Soudan Mine in northern Minnesota. Great tour.
