  • Meeting through friends and social groups like sports, clubs, church, whatever, is much better than cold approaches, IMO. I can see a dude display they have social skills and we both have something more than “he/she is pretty” to go on.

    Don’t have friends and hobbies? Tackle that before worrying about dating. Romantic relationships are like friendships but on expert mode.

    Counter-question, how can I make it clear I DO NOT want to be cold-approached by ANYONE while at the beach? Headphones, sunglasses, and my face in a book has not worked.

    Those are some fucked up palm lines. Heart line is okay ish, strong. Head and life lines are… I don’t event know if those have a boilerplate reading they are so unnatural. This pirate might be headed for the love of their life or an early, traumatic death. Godspeed.

    On a more serious note, I would suggest you consider simplifying the hand to a solid hand. The hand as-is would be very difficult to reproduce and draws attention from the overall flag design.

    Don’t get me wrong please, I know I’m just an old fart and I have no intentions whatsoever, but I just wanted to say that I think you’re very pretty - especially naked.

    Even before you said it, you knew it was inappropriate. That’s why you tried to excuse it even as you were saying it. I read the rest of your post but it only convinced me you’re not taking ownership and are now retconning your own intentions. You meant to hit on her and backtracked when she didn’t reciprocate.






  • When we were kids, my brother would get mean when bored. Low-grade physical stuff, hard pinches, pulled hair, coming into my room to harass me and break toys, enough to cause pain without evidence if I were to complain. I asked my mom to intervene, she didn’t want to deal with it, so she gave me the old phrase, “if you don’t know what to do, spit in a shoe and do it again at half past two”.

    So I spat in my brothers shoe every time he messed with me. And for good measure, I spat in my mom’s shoe too for letting him continue to abuse me.







  • Ear plugs. Because that rustling of leaves is just a raccoon and most definitely not a serial killer. I like wax earplugs for sleeping versus foam.

    Maintain hygiene regimens to greatest degree possible. Don’t skimp on washing face or brushing teeth that you would typically do at home.

    Food makes or breaks a trip for me. The weather could be awful, plans could go awry, but as long as everyone is well fed, there’s potential.

    I’m not a no-tech purist while camping but do try to use trips as a time to reset tech habits. Can you go for 24 hours without an Internet connected device? Kinda similar to the occasional dry week or break from coffee/caffeine: check in and see how you’re interacting with tech.

    Have a first aid kit and know how to use the stuff in it.
