I used to have a car with a very aggressive horn and never wanted to use it because it did sound like I was cussing something out. I couldn't get the light "beep beep" of communication, only the FUCK OFF ASSHOLE honk.

Now you have a different car and can use the horn as a communication by short tap tap.

But the wave is the apology. I have had people accidentally cut me off and when I swerve to pass have gotten a wave and mouthed sorry.

There is still some around here, but not like in the past, nobody was shaking us down for protection money in our little storefront (that used to happen in the same neighborhood) but a lot of the drugs still come through those organizations and there are still gangs around - there was a police standoff with a biker gang a few blocks from my house once, they shut down the streets.

I guess the US is too big and disorganized.

Now - LA in the early 1990s - I stayed there awhile and holy crap, anything people say about gangs during that time is true. The police were a big violent gang, the prisons had gang riots, I knew people in gangs even though it wasn't my world, it was widespread. So disorganized organized crime, there was a lot of that back then

House elf or carbon monoxide?

Like a lot of the responses here, I don't like much video porn, it's more funny than sexy.

Written erotica, that can be so hot, but still not often. Mostly when I need it, imagination is the way to go.

In my experience - manifestation kind of works by changing your focus, you notice opportunities that you might have missed. Though I once manifested a board for our bed by saying I need a board for the bed then opening the door and there was a big board propped up in an alley, and another time a big cardboard box for baby chicks sort of the same way, just looked around wherever I went and found one the same day.

I don't think it works like that for money, you aren't going to find it in the alley, but focusing on it can help you get a better job because you are telling people you need one (networking) and open to opportunities to make more money.

Same with wanting a boyfriend/girlfriend. Having that energy, the openness to experience attracts more people.

Oof that's rough. I do pull over to the side & let cars pass when I ride in the 35mph road on the way to work (there is a sidewalk I can use, it's allowed but sometimes there are pedestrians using it or work trucks parked over the entire sidewalk -fuck those guys in particular, then I use the road) but once on a different 35 with no good sidewalk I had a Prius follow slowly and at a safe distance for so so far even though there was plenty of room to pass. Honestly I can get to 35 on the electric bike but don't want the cops to know, and it wouldn't help because as the whole point of this thread is - on the road to work it's smooth and easy so people do 45.

Yeah, technically I have the same right to be in the car road, there is no bike lane or path, but it's not something I'm willing to die for, I am slower traffic and keep right. There are lights so if I walk it across an intersection and wait I can get a very light traffic situation for a couple of blocks.

Wrote the city to complain about the road though, to ask them to convert it like they did some of the other similar sized ones, bike lanes, middle turn lane.

People will always drive at the speed that feels safe, it's not just Americans. Gradually here this is being recognized, and roads narrowed, speed bumps added, etc. in places where we need to go slowly. At my work complex the stated limit is 10 mph and even on my bike I am speeding, and cars are passing me, but it doesn't feel unsafe at all.

What's funny is that this is so not a male/female split. I wanted casual between my long term guys, was thinking to just keep it that way, but then decided to date more seriously and was shocked at the response from these guys I only wanted casually - apparently what they wanted was to date seriously but I didn't see them that way? It seemed like guys were settling for casual hookups because that's what they could get, or what they were expected to want?

I didn't want to date any of them like that! But felt kind of shitty that I hadn't picked up on it, at all. There was zero awareness on my side that these guys were wishing for anything other than the casual hookups.

I do know Catholics who are anti-abortion, anti-death penalty and anti-euthanasia; they strongly believe God should decide the beginning and end of anyone's life.

Not saying they are right but they are consistent.

I'm anti-abortion for myself, never had one never thought it was an ok thing. But I don't think laws should apply at all - the existing woman always matters more than the as yet unborn and I've met exactly one person ever who used abortion freely and as her birth control and she was crazy. It's such an edge case law is not the right answer.

So in short I agree with if you don't think it's right don't do it. Don't try to control other people who aren't harming you. You don't walk in anyone else's shoes, you don't know their pain. If your friend is having an abortion when she wants the baby, but can't figure out how to manage tell her how you can HELP her, don't judge her.

Oh tonight I made kimchi butter noodles and plopped an egg yolk on it, oh so delicious, and I think you do sourdough? The boy who bakes sourdough discard chocolate chip cookies use yolks and are legit one of the best recipes ever to hit the internet.

If you are looking for some egg white, those are my two usual egg yolk using foods.

If it's like I remember - you can choose to use rules & tools to mod on Reddit, you don't have to, but I am not exaggerating, there were hundreds of reports per day on the normalnudes one I helped with, and hundreds of guys a week who ignored the "no isolated erection shots" and had their posts removed, also so many women advertising, both of which were disallowed on that thread- I would not be surprised or annoyed if they got a tool to recognize those.

Also it was a don't offer critique unless it's asked for place, otherwise if you can't say something nice say nothing, so comments got legitimately reported all day too.

It's hard to imagine the scale of the bad actors on that site, it's a constant flood being held back.

It's not like it's a beard, though, it's normal on all adults. I personally don't like it on anybody, appreciate grooming but saying it's only disgusting on women is so strange. The worst for me is guy pit hair with deodorant stuck to it, I never see that on women.
