Sorry you are having hard times… makes me think of being young and having a hard time figuring it all out myself. I am a generally normal man but when I was young I didn’t know what I felt. IDK if you are in the same boat I was

I didn’t know if I was gay until the day I kissed a boy. We were about the same age as you and it was one of those “well that question is answered, not gay”. I am always thankful for that memory.

In my world, there are plenty of people like you in daily life. So much so that it doesn’t even register most of the time. Washington State is a world away from Ohio it seems.

I always truly felt that Dan Savages message “it gets better” is a truism. I knew a lot of people that left their world and came to Seattle because it was where it got better for them.

if you arn’t gay then it doesn’t matter either. There are so many women that I personally know that would prefer a feminine guy over a jock beefcake meathead

I hope you know, it does get better. But it might mean you need to leave that old life behind to start a new one in an environment that will welcome you.

I remember feeling grossed out or disgusted by fat people and one time someone said something wondering what gay people do in private. I distinctly remember thinking, WTF dude like I don’t like fat people but I am not thinking about their sex lives. They arn’t destroying society and if they are happy then who cares? My opinion is meaningless to this.

bigotry is bigotry and that helped me find my line internally.

anyways, you are always welcome to sit by me and I would welcome a conversation with you

but it would have to happen outside of Ohio because I am probably not going there :P

one of my favorite quotes from the director David Lynch “fix your hearts or die”. I think the ugly masculinity that you have had to face should have to face their hearts

the closest nuclear site to me is Hanford. Yeah, its GREAT

I read this, and its in English so I know it makes sense… but I have no idea what is going on expect that someone was pissed off about something from Facebook and it caused a riot?

Russia is leading the world in caring for widows.

its ok to just like one or two songs

I think of many one-hit-wonders but the Spacehog song “In the Meantime” is what I will refer to here. I really liked it on the radio when it first dropped. Got the album and was not at all excited about the rest of the songs. Come time, they dropped a new album and of course I had to try again but it didn’t even have one song that I really cared for. I sat on the CD for a while and gave them a listen every so often, because that one song is sooo good! maybe I was just not giving the rest of the songs a chance. Yeah no. I listed to their 3rd album before buying it and was content to just listen to one of their songs. Its always in my mix and I love to hear it. But thats the only song of theirs that I like.

IDK but I don’t have kids or horses. Kids seem to be the easier choice because after a little time they take care of themselves. Horses can live for 20 or more years and you have to take care of them every fucking day (my sister has three, she also has 4 kids but their all adults now).

It really just comes down to if you want children or not. Don’t let the horse be an excuse.

it looks like its a thing but not with any of the old content nor does it even resemble the same site

Gawker didn’t like that he was a closet gay man using his wealth as a weapon against the LGBT community, so they outed him. He had problems trying to sue them because they didn’t report anything false. When the Hogan tape was leaked, it was considered revenge porn so, Thiels used the wealth to get the revenge on Gawker

5 hours and no replies? my instance is f’d up I guess.

damn, thats harsh!

I look forward to the nightmare fuel the president vomits out every day…

oh yeah, that happens here too, just not as much because our counties usually have the same funding and contractors

you know, most roads will tell you. The change in asphalt for sure will tell you exactly

plus for me at least, Idaho is different than Washington

the roadside advertisements is instantly different

the highways are laid out in much different ways

the people are absolutely different almost to an extreme

Ukraine controls some of Russian territory, do they get that?

it’s going to roll over when a couple good waves hit it. plus their lines are so loose, the boat moving could trap someone with a line that suddenly goes tight with all the weight of the boat. if their not trying to make it pointed at the beach fore or aft, they probably have a bad day

no

wait till that guy hears about radio waves!

I had a coworker that was in IT, and she sore that microwaves were evil and causing cancer and even when I got her to admit that microwaves are everywhere, even if there is not an appliance focusing them in a single spot… but yeah, some people just cannot accept these things

you have to live in a faraday cage if you want to keep these out of your life… but there will always be nutrenos!

and it works. Sadly it really is one of the most powerful forces in motivation of people. The only thing that diminishes it is critical thinking.

just do a web search with “project 2025 porn” and marval at it… it is amazing

here is a good write up example https://www.gratefulweb.com/articles/project-2025-war-porn-privacy-and-progress

truthfully, the most important lesson I figured out as a young man

what would my mother do? what would my father do? I will do neither and if faced with difficulty… put my face into the rain and power my way through. doing what is right is usually hard. that’s how you know it’s the right choice.

follow the yellow brick road!

heat pumps, that is what I was replying to
