They do. However, the drugs your pet needs may not be off patent, and thus you have to buy branded.

Jesus, I thought for sure this one was fake. Nope.

Children’s television programming geared towards young children (e.g., Bluey, Peppa Pig, etc.) can fill this gap, and are widely used as comprehensible input content by adult language learners.

Picking up a new language is much easier if you use the Comprehensible Input method, which is fun and easy. It’s essentially learning language like a child learns. You watch videos that are 100% in the target language. In the beginning, they are super easy, with lots of props, gestures, and other context that helps convey the meaning of the words. As you pick up more and more, you watch more difficult videos. It’s amazing how fast you pick up the new language. In about 3 months I learned enough Spanish to give me around 80%+ comprehension of normal conversation, and better comprehension if the person spoke slowly and clearly. Don’t count out learning a new language, as it is a lot easier than you might think if your only experience is with traditional methods.

Yes, total strangers. Her husband didn’t even know the guy, despite him attending Trump’s 1993 wedding to Marla Maples and having been regularly photographed and videoed hanging out with the guy. To quote her husband:

“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy,” Trump booms from a speakerphone. “He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it — Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”

Okay, I’m going to have to actually stop in and eat there one of these days.

Just for the night.

Joke’s on her, I’m into it.

The DSM-5 has 9 criteria, and if you meet any 5 of the 9, you have NPD. https://npdtest.org/blog/what-are-the-9-official-dsm-5-criteria-for-narcissistic-personality-disorder-npd The fact that you’re questioning whether you are a narcissist tends to point to you not being one. If the people around you are telling you that you crave attention on a pathological level, it may well be gaslighting or projection from the people around you, as narcissists love to deflect and find fault with others.

I’m with you. I ran Qubes for a while for security reasons, and it was just too much of a pain in the ass. Ubuntu is easy.

To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, the fact that a MAGA racist is happier than a woke person is no more to the point than the fact that a drunken man is happier than a sober one. The happiness of credulity is a cheap and dangerous quality of happiness, and by no means a necessity of life.

THC has very low toxicity, so the lethal dose is ridiculously high, on the order of 1000mg/kg of body weight, so Spongebob should survive his ordeal, but it isn’t going to be fun. I had a “friend” drug me with an edible he made with a ridiculous amount of THC, and when it kicked in I slipped in and out consciousness, and came to vomiting. The room was spinning so hard I could barely walk and needed assistance. It was a bad day.

I’m sorry, is this the new cover for the Book of Mormon?

Good, solid 8. Just had breakfast and ready to get on with my day, but could have used a little more sleep.

Please help me out here. I was never a huge Tool fan, but I did have Undertow, but I’m missing the joke here.

Let me tell you, I’ve discovered the best way to meet people effortlessly (more or less). I’ve consumed a lot of dating content on youtube, and learned a lot in the process. One of the videos I watched ranked places to meet people, and two of the top places were dance class and run clubs. I’ve been doing both. I run with a couple of different run clubs, and while I enjoy getting a good workout in, run clubs haven’t been very productive for me to meet women. One of the things that I feel is hindering me in that regard is that I’m not a great runner and pretty slow. In general, women are attracted to high status men, and status is contextual. As a slow runner, my status in the running context isn’t very high, and I feel that as a consequence, the women I meet in that context aren’t seeing me as a good prospect. YMMV. That said, I have met people at run clubs, so you may wish to find one in your area.

Dancing classes, however, have been a gold mine. I started at the end of last August taking ballroom dancing lessons to dip my toes in the water. While there are some younger people, the median age at the ballroom dance class I take is about 65. While on the surface, that may not seem like a good environment, I stand out in it. I’m fit, good looking, and dress sharp, and women notice. Women understand much better than men that being attractive is not something that you are or are not, but rather something that you cultivate. Most men don’t do much to improve their appearance and as they age just let themselves go. As a consequence, I am hands-down the most attractive man that regularly attends class, and always have women vying for my attention. I am the “big fish” in a small pond, and to the extent there are women in that group I am interested in, I am definitely on their radar.

Dancing is particularly good for meeting people and fostering a romantic context, because it involves physical contact within your partner’s intimate zone. I chuckle when dating advice videos talk about “breaking the touch barrier”, because in the dancing context you’re basically holding hands with your arm around them, standing in their intimate zone from the outset.

In addition, the dancing context overlays strong gender roles. As a man, I am the “lead” and the woman is the “follow”, and I communicate with her with my body. As the song says:

Bodies in conversation

Use your imagination

I like it

When we dance

Even if you don’t meet anyone in dance class, you’re learning a valuable skill that can only help you in the competitive arena of dating. Think about it. You’ve seen videos of birds doing their mating dances, tail feathers flared out. The mating dance for humans is dancing.

While ballroom was my initial foray into dancing, swing dancing and the social dancing scene has been amazing for me. It’s hard to get really good quickly at ballroom dancing, as there are fewer opportunities to practice. None of the nightclubs in my city have “Tango Night” or “Foxtrot Night”, but a whole lot of them cater to various popular social dances, including salsa, cumbia, swing, etc. Where I am at, you can go out and meet people dancing almost any night of the week. Moreover, as a lead, if you are any good at all you’ll have attractive women lining up to dance with you. It’s more difficult to be a lead, so follows tend to outnumber leads. My current focus is on East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop, but I still do the ballroom dancing as well. It’s good to be well-rounded.

I cannot overstate how helpful dancing has been for me with respect to meeting women. After a prolonged period of social isolation while I worked on myself following my divorce, I went from a social circle of zero (I literally had no one in my life), to an enormous social circle, with fun events to attend several nights per week, and a wide array of dating prospects. I highly recommend it.

Thank you. I’m a bit of an outlier in a lot of ways, and I’m awaking to the fact that if I want to find the right person from me, I’m going to have to increase the volume of people I date, and probably the easiest way to do that would be to tackle online dating, so it’s probably in my future.
