Get a doctors appointment on the same day.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

That'll be a hard one even in ideal circumstances, I literally live in a city where half the residents are doctors that commute into the larger city nearby for work part time and yet appointments are still only available a month out.

Honestly I've often thought it would be fun to hire a sex worker, but it's seemingly impossible to ensure safety from any diseases, from getting mugged, and also to ensure nobody is being exploited or coerced. I really wish it was legal and regulated (and ideally unionized) in my area. It would be cool to be able to access a service like that as easily as I can book a haircut.

tryst d link will usually have trustworthy SWers to contact if you're really interested

Usually the ones that come off as spiritually into the whole thing will be your best bet for a first encounter

Also, don't trust anyone who isn't asking for vetting, seems backwards but sting ops will usually skip that part while legit SWers will often demand it to make sure they're not exposing themselves to a sting on your end.

Where I am, SWers are decriminalized, but buying their services isn't. So they don't need to be afraid of stings. Not sure if that affects what you're saying.

Anyway this is all hypothetical since I have a gf right now, but I've spent most of my adult life single and lonely and would have loved to be able to access SW services safely and legitimately during those times.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I might be stupid, but can someone explain why sex workers are decriminalized while buying their services isn't? I don't get the logic behind only punishing one party involved in the transaction. Note that I'm not against sex workers at all; I'm just confused about the logic.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

Because sex work being criminalised can prevent sex workers from feeling safe going to the police if they get assaulted in their like of work, and can also prevent trafficked people from coming forward.

Dungeons and dragons. I live in a foreign country and am still learning the language. I’m years away from being able to play.

It would be hilarious if you learned D&D vocabulary first.

At this point in my life, other than opportunity costs, there's nothing stopping me from doing anything reasonable. The issue is time and will.

I'd love to be able to see the stars better. I live in a very bright, and often overcast area. I have a nice little telescope, but I've only taken it out a couple of times. I've been meaning to catch up with the local astro club, but, you know, time and will.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I am in the local club and have two over-the-top scopes and still can't pull it together.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Have you considered purchasing a night vision device? They help cut through light pollution better than anything, you will see a crazy number of stars.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

I appreciate the idea. I just really like the photons to hit my eyes directly. Putting electronics in between makes it feel more like looking at photos than real stars.

Offroading.

I have a somewhat capable truck but very limited places to get to try out its full capabilities. Here it's illegal to drive motor vehicles without permission on a land that you don't own.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

So much fun, good memories with the offroad group I fell in with during the Forum era of the internet, some of us still keep in touch.

The group had people from around the US, and even though I lived in a place like you are now there were opportunities for road trips to meet up with & go with waaaay more experienced people.

I was NOT mechanically inclined but made Incredible meals camping (sushi, smoked pulled pork, bbq tri tip beef, etc.) so I traded that for help installing mods & fixing broken shit.

The group also went to the national meet up, but we never went on "official" runs, just went on our own and to make shenanigans & meet up.

Check out (your vehicle) 4x4 groups and start there!

I want to make a tunnel boring machine for digging ~2 meter tall tunnels in sandstone. Sadly I live in a place with only sand in the underground and that's not suitable for digging tunnels DIY style

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

That's all?

Man, I'm really sorry you're stuck in a sand pit.

We have so much fun with our TBM's in my area. My neighbor, Ralf, built a 3M BEAST! You wouldn't believe the daily progress he makes. It's got integrated support walls and everything. Our club is in a bit of a feud with the hacks 3 subdivisions over. They keep boring too close to our tunnels. Not. Cool. Man.

Anyway, at least you can cut and cover with sand, a perfectly viable tunnelling strategy with lower startup costs.

Skiing. But i guess i'll never get to try that in the future.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

As an Austrian I can say that skiing is kinda overrated. I mean, Sure its fun but it gets pretty repetetive after a while

Medieval combat. I'd love to learn how to sword fight, like genuinely sword fight.

Hunting.

I'm interested exclusively in hunting for food. There is very little state-owned land in my area (I think my state has the least amount of state own land in the country), and they have very, very brief windows for hunting. I'm primarily interested in hunting feral pigs, which are invasive. But despite them being invasive, hunting regulations are written in such a way that you can only practically hunt feral pigs on state-owned land during the same time that you would hunt deer, which is limited to a few days each year. (Technically I could hunt them during turkey season with a shotgun, and small game season with a rimfire, but neither of those are practical. I would need to hunt them on private property, because there's no bag limit, no closed season, and no caliber limits on private land. Aside from that--which is already a challenge--I would likely need to get thermal imaging equipment, because feral pigs have gone from being diurnal to largely nocturnal, due to human predation. Oh, and you can't hunt public land at night. So...

I hope that I can go on a pig safari later this year.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

We have a lot of great skateparks, but I've always wanted to try a pump track.

Only ones I can find in the midwest are dirt for BMX.

Regularly hang out with the friends I've made online who live in different countries.

We met up about a month ago, but would be nice to magically be able to meet up once a week or so.
