  • I would take a phone that had flush cameras with the thicker body and a battery life in the multiple days range over the thinnest lightest phone ever made that still has big ol camera bumps because of the physical limitations of photography.

    I do not care about the weight of my phone within reason. Not so I care about size much anymore. I have an S23+ with a case on it that adds a decent amount of thickness not only for protection but because I have big hands and the phone without a case feels like it’s going to slide out of my hands very easily.


  • I’m a big proponent of being open to things even if we think we aren’t in the mood necessarily. My ex was never in the mood for sex due to her meds, but if I was very subtle about the foreplay and took the time to get her slightly worked up across a few hours around the house before I asked her she was often very glad we did it afterwards. I lost track of how many “I feel so much closer to you now” after we had sex for the first time in a few weeks.

    That being said your partner should NOT regularly start arguments or fights if you decline sex. If you are uncomfortable then you should be able to stop and feel safe in doing so.

    I’m sure you’re going to get lots of recommendations for therapy or dumping him and honestly only you know if either of those things are right for you, but I hope you are able to do something. Sex should be an enjoyable experience for everyone involved at all times AND both people should feel 100% safe and respected when they decline for whatever reason. Obviously if sex is never happening and it’s not an asexual relationship then something needs to change, but all relationships have off nights/weeks/months. It’s perfectly normal to happen sometimes. If it’s the norm all the time then there needs to be an honest discussion about the relationship at large, but even the best loving relationships have dry spells.

    Best of luck OP. I hope you’re able to feel comfortable with yourself and your partner so you don’t feel pressure or anything.







  • I don’t think the average person truly understands exactly how much of the stuff they use every single day is a byproduct of the petroleum industry.

    The obvious ones are oils as lubricants and fuel to burn for vehicles, but it goes soooooooooc much further than that.

    Here are some quick examples of things many people do not realize use petroleum byproducts in one way or another.

    So while we very well may be able to stop using traditional fuel to run vehicles in the future we still have to find alternatives for a lot of other things. The industry is not going anywhere anytime soon.




  • My friends have had plans for this situation since highschool. We meet at our buddies house in the woods. We commandeer one of his neighbors tanks (his neighbor has one of the largest private collection of tanks). We take said tank (which can run off pretty much any liquid that burns) and drive it to SF where we then forcibly take control of a ferry and drive ourselves and the tank with enough supplies to sustain ourselves for at least a month on Alcatraz.

    We figure by the end of the month most zombies will have decayed beyond mobility and should any other humans attempt to join us that we don’t want on the island with us… Well we have a tank.




  • I wouldn’t say I loved the weekend but I can’t listen to any of his music anymore because it’s all associated with my worst ex in my head. I bought her his first album. We went to a concert of his together.

    Hard to vibe with music when all it does is bring up memories of verbal, physical and psychological abuse. She hit me with her car once because I was begging her not to drive off drunk and angry. She started physically assaulting me and when I pinned her down and called the cops they threw ME in handcuffs the moment they got there (thankfully my landlord at the time backed me up that she was the aggressor). She falsely accused me of rape and would have ruined my entire life had her friend not sent me the evidence that she was just making it all up to get back at me.

    Sarah I hope you’re sober now and doing better, but fuck you for everything you put me through.



  • The “I killed my own son on sight without knowing it was my son yet” kinda fallout player.

    I love new Vegas and I still think it’s the best fallout game all around, but it is absolutely getting long in the tooth. Even with HEAVY modding the game is showing its age at this point.

    I just want a new vegas refresh/remaster that adds some life to the game and adds some modern creature comforts to the game.
