I mean Half Life 2 itself could be considered a trilogy

Would a surge protector be enough? I’ve never owned one, but I’ve considered putting my PC, router and (in the future) NAS behind both a surge protector and a UPS.

Your country is crazy.

I get maybe 3-4 spam messages a year and those are all scams, not ads, much less political ads (which I don’t think would even be legal)

I was like 16 and a virgin, loaded with way too much testosterone. I’m no longer an incel, but I’ll admit it was a fucked up mindset. But it’s pretty common in teenage boys I’m fairly sure. Why do you think Hollywood makes so many movies about teenagers trying to get laid?

There may have been a period in my late teens after I’d read an article about them running out of condoms where I wanted to become an elite athlete so I could go to the Olympics just for the fuckfests. Teenage me was obviously hoping to score with someone from the Brazilian volleyball team or something.

Well now, despite having the genes for it (and no, this is not a joke; I have more genetic potential for athletic performance than at least 90% of the population, as does my entire family, which does include Olympic athletes), I never had the discipline. But then I found a woman who I’m crazy about and this has lasted slightly longer than an Olympic fuckfest, so I reckon I’m not missing out on all that much. Though I suppose an orgy with a bunch of super fit people is never going to be in the cards for me, but I’ll survive.

Learned English as my second language instead.

Yeah it’s broken, but y’all have tenses that sorta make senses (in Estonian we have present and past - future is implied by context!) and you don’t need 14 noun cases because y’all have prepositions.

At the same time, English borrows words from over 9000 different languages, nothing is pronounced the way it’s written, and to be quite honest, I never bothered learning any of the rules in school. The rule for ordering adjectives so they wouldn’t sound off was impossible to remember, but because I’ve been terminally online since I was like 7, it just came naturally.

TL;DR: English is a great language to just know natively, horrifying one to learn systematically.

For real, does the entirety of a sexual encounter consist of penis-in-vagina for him? I prefer there to be like an hour of foreplay and I’m a dude. I mean I could go right away too, but the feeling is very, very different for myself too, not just my partner.

Depends on the situation. I’m working and my wife is currently a SAHM because the little one is quite tiny indeed. When I get home after work I take the baby off her hands for a while because I KNOW my wife had a more exhausting day than I did because of the little demonsangels. And anything the 3yo needs, I’ll be there for her so she doesn’t bother mom with everything.

Sometimes it does feel like I’m babysitting or giving her a break, because she for sure spends way more time and energy on them throughout the day.

Religion, capitalism. Powerful groups want more people to have more children.

Luckily I’m in a progressive enough country that even in school we were taught that masturbation is a thing and not necessarily bad.

As for negative effects - if you do it TOO much, particularly with a very strong grip, then don’t be surprised if, when having actual intercourse, you’re just not feeling much and might be unable to reach orgasm. You might even be uninterested in your partner sexually. A few days without masturbation will fix it though, doesn’t seem to be permanent. Day 2 without doing it and I couldn’t keep my eyes (or hands) off my wife’s body.

Sex was very infrequent for me and my wife in the last few months of her pregnancy, so that’s how I know. Soon as we started doing it on a somewhat regular basis again, I opted to quit jerking it because I wanted to enjoy the real thing more, even if it’s not every single day. No long-term negative effects that I’ve noticed.

Operating system so TrueNAS in your case

But also keep in mind that it’s usually air temperature being measured, with surface temperatures being even worse than that!

I’m 28 and it was usually called Holland in school… I’m Estonian, so maybe the news just got here later, we’re supposedly pretty slow.

It’s a novelty account. They promo the Barbie movie whereever possible.

Wait till you find out about the competing model, Ford RoadsAndMaybeMildDirt

I think it would be feasible for most apps given that it’s a million annual FIRST installs for free, but one would definitely need to find a way to monetize if the app gets too popular, which might be hard if your goal is to provide FOSS for the benefit of the community.

2022 and 7 hours here, same experience. I just… woke up early, well rested, and everything was great.

Now after the flight back, I went to sleep at about 6 PM I believe. I did not feel well that first day back in my own timezone.

Scientifically? No clue. But I figured out I was a night owl by the sheer fact that going to sleep at 5-6 AM to wake up at 12-2PM makes me feel well rested, whereas literally no amount of sleep will make me feel well rested if I have to wake up at 7-8.

The one whose ex-president this article is about, which is what makes the whole thing funny.

The US called for help after 9/11.

In my country, conscientious objectors can instead opt to work for charity for the duration of their service I believe. Much better solution than throwing service dodgers in jail. This also proves you’re not doing it just to avoid service.

For an example I know someone who couldn’t serve in the military for health reasons, but instead worked for the food bank for 8 months. The pay is shit, but for some people it’s an option. And if you have a young child, you’re exempt from service for a while anyway, it’s only mandatory if you don’t have significant provable responsibilities to other people. And I believe even then it’s not mandatory in all cases.
