Yeah give woman the power who can get laid easy. Good going.

Look at these women having to agree to have sex. I mean they only carry the full responsibility of the consequences of sex, while putting themselves at risk. The audacity of them having autonomy and saying no, am I right?

I have a huge problem. I have a really bad luck in terms of getting close to women. Almost everytime when i get close to a women, some friend of mine just come in and swoop her away from me. Its like 3 times it happen. I dont want to get that again but i lack the confidence. What do?

Try not being a crow. I think it will help.

Do girls really get more attracted to a guy if he is ignoring her as much as possible?
Yeah it sounds really weird but it's a thing I've heard about a couple of times in the past.

No.

I don't need someone that's going to instantly text me back but if you can't make time for me I'm not gonna make time for you. This mind games stuff is stupid.

Don't be overly eager is good advice until you've established a relationship. Don't be available is good advice if you want to stay single.

Not everyone got bad screens. Some have really terribly narrow viewing angles. Unless I look at my phone completely straight on, the white (or anything else) is a very different shade all through the screen. It's really bad for a modern screen.

I have a legit question about women. How hard is it really to walk in high heels?

It's fucking awful

If you don't wear heels a lot you'll get blisters and your ankles won't be used to it so you might sprain one. If you're a newb on an uneven surface, forget it

Even if you do get used to it, it causes foot and spinal issues. No bueno.

Makes your ass look nice at least

How can I make myself want to stay at work for a full day? Ill hang up and listen to your answer.

I've found drinking at work helps but isn't really a solution. Or legal. So don't do that.

I didn't buy my phone directly from them. They won't RMA for it. Google does next to nothing for you if you didn't buy from their store.

Next time I'll consider going directly with Google. I got a better deal getting it with my carrier than buying the phone outright and having a cheaper rate plan.

I try to remember to use reusable bags, but sometimes I just end up buying more stuff than I have bags to fit them in. Do you take a shitton of bags with you to the store just in case?

It's weird Sunny didn't mention them at all though. You do know they exist, right Sunny?

"But canvas bags might actually be worse for the environment than the plastic ones they are meant to replace. In 2008, the UK Environment Agency (UKEA) published a study of resource expenditures for various bags: paper, plastic, canvas, and recycled-polypropylene tote bags. Surprisingly, the authors found that in typical patterns of use and disposal, consumers seeking to minimize pollution and carbon emissions should use plastic grocery bags and then reuse those bags at least onceas trash-can liners or for other secondary tasks. Conventional plastic bags made from high-density polyethylene (HDPE, the plastic sacks found at grocery stores) had the smallest per-use environmental impact of all those tested. Cotton tote bags, by contrast, exhibited the highest and most severe global-warming potential by far since they require more resources to produce and distribute."

Which means what? "Per use" means nothing when plastic is not typically durable enough for multiple uses (sometimes it doesn't even survive one use) and canvas bags are meant to be used repeatedly. That doesn't tell me anything unless "per use" is supposed to mean "per lifecycle" of each bag type. Also, is this a bag-for-bag comparison, or does it normalize the amounts of grocery carrying capability? Because canvas bags come in different sizes but I'd say on average a single one can carry two to three times as much as one plastic bag.

Oh, the article you posted was the first thing that came up when I tried to find more on this.

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/09/to-tote-or-note-to-tote/498557/

Why didn't you just post the whole thing? This part in particular is relevant:

The UKEA study calculated an expenditure of a little less than two kilograms of carbon per HDPE bag. For paper bags, seven uses would be needed to achieve the same per-use ratio. Tote bags made from recycled polypropylene plastic require 26, and cotton tote bags require 327 uses.

It's a fair point on cotton, though I don't think that's what a lot of them are made of. I believe the one I have is some kind of recycled plastic, so 26 uses doesn't seem unreasonable. And like I said, this is bag-for-bag, but mine can hold a lot more than one plastic bag, so it's really offset by like 10 uses.

The excess that these are produced with and the fact people treat them as disposable are fair points, but that doesn't make them a bad idea in principle.

Volunteer? Join community activities like a sports or special interests club. If you're religious, meet people at sermons.

I've had that idea before. Never made a real attempt, I suppose. Would one day a week be enough? That's all I could really spare, apart from my brother. Where would I volunteer? What are the kinds of places that could help me accomplish my goal? And if I'm going to volunteer just so I can try and meet a woman, doesn't that make me selfish?

You seem to be a compassionate person so I'd really suggest volunteering places particularly at events with pods of volunteers. There's so many I've seen hook up over the years.

Thank you for saying so! What is a "pod" of volunteers?

Have you tried online dating with a wider radius? I noticed quite a few guys and gals on OkCupid that were looking for a very wide range.

I don't remember what my eHarmony radius was. My current Bumble radius is 30 miles. I can reach several cities in that radius. I can't imagine going any wider than that, because that's just asking for a long-distance relationship. Bad idea, when I hate driving with a passion.

You're new to these topics I guess

Also using non degradable plastic for animal waste is another bad thing for the environment. They make biodegradable poop bags for a reason

I've been using my recycled plastic totes every week for years. Sometimes I forget. When I do forget I use a cardboard box that the grocery store supplies (they're food packaging boxes so no extra waste).

Anyway it's way past the 26 uses required at this point. It's as easy as stashing a bag or three in your vehicle. When I unpack my groceries I hang the bags on my door knob so that I have to interact with them when I'm going to leave the house. That's my signal to take the bags with me and put them in the car. It has worked well in spite of the ADHD

I feel like telling a short story in your topic, hope you dont mind

I had a customer that basically told me that his son was using his ipad to watch porn. Never said porn, but the way he was saying "websites" and a few other details on the story basically told me it was porn.
The kid is 18, so doesnt surprise me he would be doing that. But have some respect and do it on your own devices

yeah! you gotta do it with some regularity. doesn't have to be all the time. Just a few hours a month would be more chances to meet cool people that care about things. Volunteer at a food bank, soup kitchen, animal shelter, library, etc.

Maybe it makes the volunteer work more selfish but here's the thing: no one cares if you're volunteering for selfish reasons. So many people do it because it looks good on a resume. Or it makes them feel good for caring. I don't think there's any real altruism in volunteering, the volunteer is getting something out of it, and others benefit from the help. Winning all around.

And the ratio of volunteers generally skews to more women.

You are welcome. I meant a lot! Maybe a pod, like a group of them. :P

I have been volunteering at bingo fundraisers for a while now. it's 5 hours once a month or so, meet the same regulars. It's a way to hang out with people with a common interest in a cause.

Hmmm, that's fair. Well you're limited by your radius's population. Want more options? You have to move.

Or you can make more options by meeting more people and you may make an organic connection. those do still happen. :)

nah like roast up some peppers. grill up vegetables of all kinds. grill that fuckin lettuce if you want to

use beans or rice in with the filling

don't put on heaps of cheese or sour cream

still tasty as fuck and much lower calorie, higher fiber, and probably higher protein depending on your fillings of choice

oooh. I don't know if I can justify droping that mad money right now but I think I may pay for a sub to level my druid to whatever the base game cap is now. Then see about legion.

MoP was a good expansion, cata wasn't as strong but as someone that loved the archaeology and world redesign for leveling I liked it more than most

So having half meat, half cheese, and just sprinkling some lettuce on top isn't the best path?

I actually put like 1/3 meat, cheese, and lettuce.
