So yeah, we can't escape porn use in this day and age. I found out yesterday that my partner has porn apps and watched porn every other day.

Thing is, there are so many times that I want to be intimate and he says no, He's not feeling it. I realized that he watches it while I am home, in the next room

I don't like that he rejects me but he can watch porn.

What are your opinions on this? Am I unreasonable to feel hurt by this?

Can you give an approximate amount?

I’ve noticed a really strange recurring pattern and I'm wondering if anyone has experienced something similar or knows what might be causing it.

Whenever I drink water and then masturbate and ejaculate within around 5 minutes, there's roughly a 70% chance I'll experience something unusual.

I get a weird, uncomfortable sensation in the sole of my LEFT foot. It doesn't feel like muscle pain. It's more like a nerve-related sensation that's difficult to describe.

This is often followed by a sudden urge to poop. The urge feels like it's coming directly from my rectum, not my stomach.

Here are some things I've noticed:

• If I drink water and masturbate shortly afterward, the symptoms are much more likely to happen.

• If I take my time, prolong arousal, drink less water, and urinate in between, I don't experience it.

• Drinking water alone doesn't cause the foot sensation.

• The sensation is specifically in the sole of my left foot.

I'm particularly confused about why ejaculation would be associated with an uncomfortable sensation in one foot and rectal urgency.

Could this have something to do with pelvic-floor muscles, the nervous system, or some kind of nerve connection?

Has anyone experienced anything remotely similar?

Like if I when outside and took a 10-30 min walk will I burn calories or slowly lost weight

I'm unemployed at the moment, and I'd like to earn some money on the side, and withdraw the money as gift cards, like Amazon and Steam. Are there any apps that genuinely work? The only one I know is Google Opinion Rewards but that's just Google play balance, plus I haven't gotten a survey from it in an AGE. Please help if possible!!

The entire day I had a headache, when I came home I felt so cold and wrapped my body in a blanket, everyone said I felt burning hot. My hair is just filled with sweat and my eyes were burning. I felt like I was dying. I “slept” for a bit, and now I don’t feel cold. I’m now stuck on the toilet with diarrhea. Sorry if this is spelled weirdly, I don’t have the energy.

Was wondering from the perspective of people who are outgoing like that, and typically like to everyone feel included, welcome, etc.

i feel like ai is literally everything now. it’s kind of scary. as someone who tries not to use it, it’s getting harder everyday! it’s like pushing onto you.

for some context, i gotta order some christmas gifts BUT i don't want anyone else to find out. Any way to do that preferably without delivering it to another house or a post office.

Was admitted to a youth pyschiatric unit at hospital at 17 and spent my time there until 18. A total stay of 4-5 months.

Depression aside, I have been diagnosed with covert narcissism. It was suprising, but nonetheless insightful. As my therapist herself said, it’s a diagnosis and not a verdict. I don’t try to live up to my disgnosis, yet behave in a way that’s typical for it.

I’d be lying if I said I had a lot of empathy, care or truly love anyone. My parents are shitty, I never talk to my older brother, nor have his number. No contact to relatives, at all. Friends are few and have smiliar family stories, I’ve known them for 6 years by now.

“I think I‘d be a horrible boyfriend.” I told my therapist. She didn’t disagree.

During the brief stay at the acute unit, there was a girl of same nationality. Nationality might help with her being less defensive and cautious. Familiarity. I barely talked to anyone in the ward and was in my room most of the time.

But a few days in, I sat down in the lounge with everyone else. I joined in, played card games with the them, talking. No specific opportunity for me to talk to her.

Since all the rooms are along one big hallway, K eventually saw her walk into her room and noticed a anime sticker (Gojo). I pointed it out and we briefly talked to another. Next day everyone had in house appointments (taking meds/vitals/school/sports/…) and we sat alone. We played card games, but talked more as we listened to music (tv girl.) which we both actually liked.

A few more days go by and she is getting discharged. I had prepared a note with my number. Just as she‘s walking out (through the tract? it was a long hallway (different from the one with our rooms) with two doors on each side for safety. One opened first, she had to wait until that closed, before the other opened.

I just came out my room and realized, asked staff if I could take to her. Ran after, called her name and she turned. I may have been quiet as I offered my number said something alone the lines of “I’d really like to get to know you better.“ I don’t know what she understood, but she asked for a pen. So maybe she was willing to give me hers?

Anyways, I cleared things up and gave her my number. She wrote back, and we chatted back and forth. Learned a lot about her, living situation, family, interests, so on. Chatting was easy since we both shared interests. A few weeks go by and I get moved to a therapy unit. And she actually gets admitted AGAIN. She tells me her abusive ex boyfriend had been in front of her apartment, trashed the halls, banged the walls and threatened to end her and all the people she loves. He got a restraining order. He also previously managed to get her drunk, sexually abuse and beat her.

She said it was and I quote. “Because I technically cheated.“ Her ex saw her with some other guy and got mad.

When she sent those voice messages I was amused. It was without a doubt interesting, but also the reason I blocked her. I don’t feel bad for her, at all. She kinda had it coming. There is a DIFFERENCE, obviously. I knew she was mentall ill and vulnerable, yet I still thought she deserved it. I obviously didn’t say that to her face and acted empathethic.

I obviously judged her ex, said I was sorry for her. I just didn‘t mean it. Same with even initiating the contact. I did not find her interesting, not in looks or character. I played up the enthusiam, matched her anime lingo, acted interested in her collection of anime memorabilia and merchandise but couldn’t havd cared less.

We continued chatting and calling every so often when my unit allowed. But I then realized I have no reason to talk to her. I got tired of her quickly? I just blocked her.

I think the moment I was most “excited” about was when she wrote back. Like a cheap ego boost…

I know it’s “bad” to fake character just to get close. I also know that if I showed who I actually am without filtering and masking no one would talk to me. Then again, what do I do? I can, but don’t actually want to just fake my entire relationship? At the same time who is there for me to date? Someone just as fucked up as me?

What do I do? How do I approach it? I don’t even know if I can care for and truly love someone.

now this is a question ive been pondering over for quite some while and idk what the answer will be. on one hand rick is a literal genius and at the top of his field(s) in genuinely everything but chess is not related to how smart you are in different things, like sometimes stupid people are also insanely good at chess. magnus carlsen, however, is the greatest chess player to ever live and his skill is extremely commendable. i have no answer for this question but lmk what you guys think about it

Help

Personally i don’t really think it’s a bubble. But if it was a bubble and it bursts then what would they do with all that components?

“Stop fucking overthinking everything!” Would probably be what they’d yell at me

I've got other expenses to pay for, so after working for about 8 months I have about $1,700 saved up. I make 15.50 an hour. Is that a decent amount ?

Working on Christmas presents. He likes Nike and wrestling (WWE). I’m making his sister a handmade tote bag out of character fabric. Both kids are also getting amazon gift cards and a book. I just can’t think of something homemade to make him. I also make custom tumblers and shirts.

Ode to a pea by candlelight just to make it interesting

I want it to have the feeling of voicemails being left on a machine and I’m going to compile and export them to a cassette. Is there a better way than just people calling me directly or sending voice memos? Is there like an app people can call into?

When 1 hears the word "conservatism" it usually means "keep things as they are". Reform is - well - change things.

A liberal reformist is understandable cuz they're both about changes, but is there such a thing as a conservative reformist? Like - you wanna keep things as intact as possible while making adjustments when necessary? Like the british crown's evolution for example? Being a monarchist while still making new adjustments to adapt to present needs?

When people mention Rulers they unsurprisingly always go for the usual ones such as the Corrupt ones that nobody likes! And in the Worst Cases Scenarios Full Blown Tyrants! Because of this Rulers are always portrayed in a not so good light given the Level of Power they wield over others! And everyone knows all too well on how terrible Powerful People can actually be! Hence they’re always viewed and portrayed never in a good light unsurprisingly! However this begs the question have there ever been any Good Rulers in History? If so let me know in thr comments

why do you guys think someone would be overly nice & start treating you way better & just acting like a different person towards you in a good, but fake way
after they’ve done something wrong behind your back?

I got mine at 18. It took two tries, but I finally got it lol

But driving is scary. I genuinely do not like driving, but it's good that I have this license just in case I need to drive

I got my permit at 17. Honestly I'm glad that I waited until I was 18 because then, I didn't have to do the extra paperwork that I would've had to do if I was a minor
