Hell, most porn boards are dead too outside of the main/most vanilla ones.

Your first paragraph is like looking in a mirror lmao. Hi!

Dating your typical woman was a path to constant failure for me growing up. My endless mixed house parties throughout college never lead to anything sexual let alone romantic either. Stuff like that. Failing to attract each other, there was just an obvious disconnect. I’d get plenty of initial attention (mainly because I’m extreme tall), but once talking we slid off each other. Maybe you get what I mean more than most. Took me too long to figure out why I couldn’t find a partner. One nickname was Gentle Giant among friends. I was so unsuccessful people accused me of being closet gay.

Don’t find male mind/bodies attractive, and said house parties included very gay and very open roommates. In the end I figured out mentally masculine women do it for me, and there’s mutual interest within that grouping. Non-binary especially. We really like each other. But there’s a subsection that really matters to me:

and expressing a desire to protect me.

That just does it for me more than anything else. Often found in people who have another quality… something I struggle to describe. People Who Seem To Collect Good People? Best I can do without writing paragraphs. Maybe someone else can do it justice.

So the short answer is: I can only speak of my own bumbling around in this weird thing called life. Possibly experiment more. It could be the problem isn’t you, but who you pursue!

Shorter answer:

but IRL is the good stuff. Usually they’re not in a dress though :P

Can’t tell if you’re talking about religion or conservatives.

Just kidding, it’s the same mental weakness being exploited in both groups.

I’ve watched conservative theists unravel and admit things about themselves openly as they crash out under questioning they started by making a thread on debate forums, but they always relapsed by the next day.

I’m pretty sure those are just relabeled as seat cushions for people who sit for long periods of time.

Kinda like wedge pillows for acid reflux and…

It’s good to be prepared for either path. Already started in Canada ahead of time just in case.

Basically I’m leaving if the majority elect anyone who sells us out.

I did 3 extended fasts, it’s not a permanent lifestyle change for me so I don’t think that info is relevant to me, more so to the other person who replied with intermittent fasting. Or people who permanent adopt stuff like OMAD.

I eat three times a day.

One thing the diet industry hates:

Fasting. Hard to make money off not eating food.

It’s also highly effective and safe so long as you educate yourself properly before beginning.

I did 14 day fasts with an electrolyte slurry, psyllium husk, and multi vitamins. Take a month off, eat well balanced meals, repeat until goal weight. I lost ~15-20lbs each fast doing it a total of three times to hit my goal weight. Each time is less, because the daily caloric requirement to maintain your body decreases with your weight.

After that, I started gym/weight training.

edit: and never eating junk food or drinking sugar ever again. That includes fruit juice and dairy milk. Unsweetened Coconut “milk” for me now. Processed grains massively reduced too. Basically, flour. Honestly flour probably inflated the waist line for me more than sugar.

Walmart USA only I think? So if the region lock prevents me from adding a custom ROM that won’t work here.

I’ll add Projectivy Launcher to whatever I buy tho, thanks.

I’m new to this idea. Mainly I’m after the apk Sportsfire, but I’m starting to research how to set that up best I can for my boomer dad. He’s a sports fiend but Canadian. Doesn’t want to pay USA corps.

What’s the best Android TV device that supports custom ROM or launchers? Making the GUI easy as possible to use without hampering my ability to install things is the balance I guess.

edit: I remember LTT did a video warning about the cheapest noname/phantom brand chinese Android TVs having compromised/suspicious or outright confirmed malware embedded in the kernel. So, being careful there.

His bro Wiat is cuddling on the bed rn, all scritched up.

That…should be intolerable for redditors, you’d think this would finally make them leave.

The corp I’m working at moved to Outlook Web.

It’s so hostile about downloading attachments through anything but OneDrive it’s comical.

I have no doubt the EU won’t have much mercy for American corporations going* forward.

My phone REALLY wants me to type gong. Gong gong gong gong gong.

I think 0.19.9 broke youtube thumbnails, while 0.9.10 fixes it.

Shit. Guess they had a point.

The usual retort I heard is because someone in your extended family probably did take a DNA test at some point they “practically already have yours.” At least that’s what redditors parroted all the time.

I don’t know if it is true, because I thought being a couple steps removed from your parents already renders most hereditary DNA unrelated. But I’m just a layman.

Regardless, it still wouldn’t have been my choice to deliberately self own like that. Just turns me into an unwilling victim instead, much better /s.

That’s fine, I’m not tempted by the sidebars to partake in the algo at all because I’ve removed them with extensions. Without an account, yeah then I’d be using NewPipe and whatever desktop equivalents are surely out there.

Homepage. That’s where those complaints that people never see a youtuber’s videos “anymore” comes from.
