Any attractive girl has a fucking orbit of thirsty men who would jump in her bed with no more than 15 minutes notice

You knew that already, don't be surprised if she might actually take up the offer from time to time


thing is, usually they're more interested in maintaining those contacts either for ego, or because they get something real out of the friendship

so there's no reason to be intimidated or upset by these mens appearance when you are involved with the girl they're orbiting

hell, you can be friends with them if you have common interests.

just be sure to not cut contact with all your own female friends. i think the real problem is many men don't have genuine friendships with any women and so when they see another guy have one with their partner, they assume the worst of his motivations

"i would date her if she asked" is pretty different from "i am only friends with her because she might be available at some point"

I think it's more of a way of dealing with an unexpected period when you don't have a tampon handy. Kinda like how you expect a bathroom to have toilet paper rather than carrying around a roll all the time just in case you need to poop.

I'm not saying it's a god-given right but it helps, and it's not difficult

Alright, I can spell it out I guess. I'm female. I bleed every month. This month I bled twice because I took plan B and it fucked everything up. Less than 5%, maybe even less than 1% of female public restrooms have pads or tampons for purchase or free. So when you say that people need them, what are you talking about? When you say some trans person may benefit, the cost is almost certainly more than the benefit, and you're not fulfilling any need, so what are you doing?

Signaling a virtue. You're signaling to them that you care. I honestly think that's pretty worthless but I said it's a harmless virtue signal which it is. But don't lie to yourself and pretend you're solving a problem that existed for them. It didn't and it doesn't.


Why would you be against more sanitary pads being provided then

Like this article isn't saying "we decided to give trans people sanitary pads instead of real women, because we like them more". It's just saying they're providing more sanitary pads. What is the problem?

This is like being mad that the hotel you stayed at provided complimentary shower gel that smelled too masculine or something

Do the people against this want trans female to males to bleed all over their toilets instead?


They don't want trans men in men's bathrooms because they have female genitalia and therefore belong in female bathrooms

But they also don't want trans people in female bathrooms either because they're scared of all the rape that's gonna happen. If it's a FTM they're scared of a testosterone freak overpowering a woman, and if it's a MTF they're scared of a testosterone freak pretending to be a woman

In short they just don't want trans people period, so any argument to fit that premise will do.

No I enjoy it, it's just a bit of a grind at the moment. I'm so early on that everything is quite laborious. So food is not that nutritious and I need to catch it by hand, take it back to the base, cure it, then collect ingredients to stave off the thirst that generates. Diving is a pain because I can't breath that long or travel that fast, so collecting ore takes time.

I'm quite looking forward to getting upgrades that make self-sustaining food farms, etc.

The blueprints are somewhere difficult and scary to get to. Somewhere you probably need the seamoth to get to safely.

Also I need a fuckton of ingredients, some of which I can get, others I've never heard of.

Maybe I can make a start on the simple ones and pick up so- oh no wait, I need food.

Oh crap I need water. Guess I better spend the next hour collecting coral and salt.

I work with a bunch of middle-aged, verging on retirement sadasses.

The work Christmas lunch is at the local deli that everyone already goes to (literally half the office goes there every day). They're not even bothering to put on a christmas menu, so it will be a bagel for lunch.

They've decided the work Christmas party should be in January because it's quieter and less hectic. The original idea to actually have a party was shot down, so I believe the plan is just to go to the local pub instead. The one across the road.

But this part, this really takes the cake: apparently it is tradition that we all pitch in to buy the directors a hamper. The fuck kind of company is it where you buy your BOSS a christmas present?

I don't know man. Software development might be the more stable employment opportunity but I miss working in Advertising where people knew how to fucking party.

Have you ever done a cost analysis on maintenance/fees? I'm curious to know if it's worked out cheaper in monthly costs for you, asset ownership aside.


I've never sat down and worked it out, but there's no question it's still going to be way better.

The only major work we've ever done on our house in six years was a new roof (4K) as we had a couple little leaks due to the age of the roof (the houses were built in the late 70s). And even then, we effectively get that money back as it improves the house valuation - a surveyor will as a few thousand on for a roof under ten years old.

Before we got married we rented a two bedroom flat Glasgow for 600 a month. We own a three bedroom house with a garden twenty minutes outside Glasgow for slightly under 400 a month and it'll be paid off in our late 40s.


That's crazy, I'm looking at a flat in Edinburgh for 800 a month rent. Good luck buying property in Edinburgh though :(

Been considering buying in the borders actually...

My monthly mortgage payments are substantially cheaper than the equivalent rental costs would be for a house of the same size, and when the mortgage is paid off I end up with an asset worth around 110K.

Renting you end up with nothing, and you have no real control over your long term living plans as the landlord could decide to sell the property on a couple months notice. That is not good for children if you end up having to move area/school - it's a lot of disruption.
