Well, if you live in America, many people that smoke are probably unaware they have lung cancer (since our health care system isn't preventative in the least).

Think about your smoker friends and family who are always coughing, always tired, always sore, etc. They probably have something.

Plus, some people just get lucky. Same way you can have someone that weighs over 300lbs, but doesn't have diabetes versus someone who's only thirty pounds overweight and does have it.

This would almost certainly devolve into schools demanding the account names (and likely passwords) of every social media account a student has. This includes platforms where a pseudonym is used, such as reddit, tumblr, snapchat, and even this website. It would end up being used to out gay kids, and to punish anyone who complained about garbage lunches.

Terrible idea all around.

Realtalk: Walmart clothing tends to be complete trash. I'm talking, holes worn into the jeans after a few wears, seams in shirts unraveling after a single wash, etc., and they tend to be ill-fitting.

That said, in college, I bought most of my pants from rue21. Some people would clown on me for shopping at a "girl store," but their men's wear was decent. I still have a few pairs of pants from there. They were usually like $25/pair, and you could get a second pair for $10. So, six pairs would be enough to last a week (do laundry on the seventh) and only cost about $120.

There are options between garbage Walmart pants and spending hundreds at a tailor.

One of my brothers is attending Devry and initially I was worried about it because of their reputation as being for-profit. But he just secured an internship at a world-class technology company as his first internship and he attributed that to the technical skills he learned hands-on at Devry. It's an expensive school but he's happy with it so far. If he grabs another internship or two on the same level as this first one, he'll land a really solid gig as an electronics engineer once he's done with school.

Definitely expensive as fuck, though. But he said that if you put in the leg work to really learn hands-on rather than just coast through for easy grades, it's worth the price tag.

Your brother could have gotten that same education at virtually any other school for a quarter of the price.

Negative.

It has mostly to do with how I was raised, long story.

I am not a basement dweller or anything like that, it's just the path life put me on.

Like I said, I focus a lot on school, but I feel like I focused a little too much on it.

I need to figure out how to get out of the desert now and put my degrees to use.

You're still in a highschool relationship essentially.


Yep, you got it. We met in HS.

I mean, I could tell you guys so much more about myself which would make my point even more understandable.

For example, we still live with my mom.

We have 1 car.

No credit.

1 job.

etc.

The list goes on.

I meant that more as you may be suffering from a bit of sunk-cost fallacy due to how long you've been together (and the fact that it began when you were so young).

Given those extra details though... no, you should not have a kid. I know it's difficult to own a home or even afford an apartment for our generation, but you shouldn't be reproducing in your mother's house.

Guys.... opinion wanted.

I am 26, so is my gf. We have been together since 2009 and we are both in the same boat in life.

She is really pushing hard to have kids, but I don't want to. She knows that we are getting old..

The main reason I don't want kids, is the fact that I don't consider myself an adult yet. In other words, I want to have a steady career, place to live, etc. before taking on the challenge of raising a child.

Aside from that, deep down, I am just not a fan of this world. Why bring another person into it only so that it can suffer the game of life?

Anyways... if I were to have a child, I would do it before 30.

Too old?

I really don't want kids until I feel stable.

You're still in a highschool relationship essentially. No wonder you feel stunted. That said, I'm roughly the same age and feel the same way. That is "I don't feel like an adult." My mother was taking care of me when she was my age, but I struggle to keep my life together, much less even entertain the idea of taking care of another human.

That said, 30 isn't too old. If you insist upon reproducing, you want to strike a balance between being too young (which, I think you're past the point of) and being too old (I'd say any age where you run the risk of being old enough to get the senior discount at IHOP by the time your kid graduates high school).

My only comment is on the Cosmo article.

For men, I think, sex almost is, unironically, a necessity like food, water, and shelter. It's why young men who go without sex for an extended period of time start going fucking crazy.

They either wallow is self-destructive behavior and thoughts or turn bitter and hostile. Or both.

Give them a good lay and it'll probably clear their heads. Goodness knows, when I'd gone without sex for a month or more I'd get really irritable, spiteful, etc. But then I'd get laid, the fog would clear, and even I could see I was being an asshole.

Don't want to know how warped I'd get if I went for years without sex.

Exactly. And quite a few of the smartest CEmen (in terms of life experience and social intelligence) realize this. Sex is a human need, man or woman. It's just on a different plane than water or food, as those are needed for personal survival, but mental and potential physical survival work are shelter and sex. Remember, people, sex is required to keep a species going, it may not be needed on an individual level of survival, but mental health and long-term physical well-being are strongly related to a healthy level of sexual activity. It's a biological imperative, to ignore that and taunt or suggest insane things towards incels shows you really don't care for the human race as a whole.

Wow. What a dangerous and toxic mindset to have. You realize this only encourages incels, right?

Pretty much my exact feelings. The girl in the pictures already looked extremely feminine. It's hard to tell if the results were miniscule or if it's just difficult to make her look more feminine than she already is.

Do what makes you happy though.

it was pretty nasty actually. since it was such a giant wedge it didn't get cooked efficiently enough; the one bite i took of it felt like i bit it directly off an uncooked potato

I hate when that happens. A place I used to go would occasionally have mini potato wedges on the menu, and they were almost always perfect.
