I read a fair amount of your comments, but did not see details about you moving away and the guardianship ending.

You keep responding messages like this to people. Put all of the relevant information in the OP. Excluding massive key details and expecting everyone to stalk your profile until they know every detail about you is not reasonable for conversation.

What is the difference, dude? If you are raising kids, just because they biologically didn’t come from your sperm doesn’t mean they aren’t effectively your children now. Or are you one of those step dads who doesn’t consider their children to be their real kids???

It sounds like you already are a father…

Aw that is incredibly lovely

Lmao I didn’t think of that. To be fair this is the longest I have gone without getting a new tattoo since starting to get some in October lol

What’s the story behind your ex gifting you a goodbye tattoo?

Hell yeah! Sounds epic AF

I got a musical rest symbol on my wrist to try to remind me to stop and take a breath too! Problem is I never really ended up mentally practicing with it lol. I like the idea tho.

Yes. Amazing.

Do you know the concept of kintsugi? It’s a Japanese concept where when a dish breaks, you don’t glue it back together with super glue. You glue it back together with gold. The dish is reformed, but its flaws are also on display as a thing of beauty.

Anyway, I know that gold is not necessarily something that would be conveyed well or stay that way in a tattoo.

But I am wanting a kintsugi pot with a bonsai tree growing out of it. The only color will be in the cracks or the pot. The rest I want in black and gray. I’m wanting it on my thigh.

Problem is I have been putting off getting more tattoos for the summer because you can’t swim for like 3 weeks ish after getting one. But I’m a very impatient person!!

I think you’re missing my point. People love to give random “corrections” of things that may or may not be correct themselves. It seems like people just love to mindlessly parrot things.

I feel like everyone just makes this shit up

I don’t think I buy the diet thing at all.

In the US, it’s commonplace for people to “get a tan” and people in general are not as protective over sun with the use of sunscreen or long sleeves/pants.

In many Asian countries, whiter skin is more desirable. People are a lot more diligent in wearing long sleeves and pants when spending time in the sun and etc.

The sun will age you a LOT.

Is the infuriating part supposed to be that someone got to the butter before you? Or is it that you don’t like how it was scooped? What is the “correct” way if this is “incorrect”? Genuinely curious.

I used to love this as a kid.

Now as an adult, I found a fun substitute. Slice some cucumber. Then add cinnamon, salt, and whatever sugar substitute you like. It’s not quite the same as the real thing, obviously. But I haven’t had the “real” version since I was a kid. It’s a nice throwback that satisfies the want for a desert-like item with few calories.

I think the real issue is simply that excess calories (and sugary foods are highly dense in calories) leads to obesity. And obesity in childhood lends itself to continued obesity through adulthood, thus higher rates of things like diabetes and high blood pressure.

I think the whole argument about sugar itself is a bit of a moot point. It all comes down to whether or not you let your child become obese while you are still under their care.

I grew up in a household with a lot of sugar. I turned out just fine. Two of my siblings struggle a lot with obesity, and one has been overweight since childhood.

Why is this “disturbing”? Odd headline.

Love the shot! Whatcha drinking?

Thank you. That’s very kind of you, but I think if I wasn’t going to figure out anything at this point in my life that it’s just not going to happen. To describe things to people, I describe any sort of sensation that I feel in my crotch region as no different than if you were to touch your own elbow. You can touch or rub or lick or suck your elbow any which way you want, but it’s not going to feel at all pleasurable (I’m sure there are some people but that’s not really the point of my analogy).

It won’t necessarily feel uncomfortable, just won’t have any pleasure associated with it. If it’s so complicated that I can’t even figure out where to begin with finding even mild pleasure, then I don’t think there’s hope. It’s likely broken. Idk. I’m 32 btw.

As someone with a clitoris, sadly a (likely rather small) population of us still will never know. Mine seems to have come out nonfunctional from the factory. Sometimes I wish I could feel sexual pleasure like how a majority of the planet seems to.

I used my first floor pedal flushing toilet in a “fancier” than typical porta potty recently. Was a pretty nice thing to have. Maybe it’s not ADA (USA term for disability laws and regulations) compliant though?
