    Also a very important point here was how much more non-political the supreme court was then. No one would ever consider Roe vs Wade could be overturned or even want it. There were generally agreed upon rules that the supreme courts and courts in general were populated with the most qualified people. Judge appointments were scrapped by gentleman agreements if the Senator from the state where the judge was from didn’t support the nomination. Same if any of the non-partisan law associations said the person wasn’t qualified enough. So most judges were well qualified and if they were more conservative or liberal wasn’t as big of a consideration. There were plenty of “conservative” judges appointed judges nominated by democratic and vice versa. This all change with Mitch McConnell blocking Merrick Garland appointment to the supreme court who was suggested as the more moderate alternative. This lead to the hyper partisanship of the supreme court we see now with the trump appointees. This is why trust in the organization has eroded so fast. Since it all happened so fast and judges are acting much more politically instead of following law and precedent

    I have two concert that were amazing on the top of my mind. The first was the Taylor Swift Eras tour (which I know is a little lame and cliché but who cares) and the second was Cut Copy at First Avenue. Taylor Swift was just an amazing show with dancing, costume changes, fireworks and most importantly everyone there was so into it. The sounds of an entire stadium singing along to every song was amazing and with my earplugs the sound quality was still great. It was an EVENT with everyone there all the way in.

    Cut Copy I went to in college with a bunch of buddies a little drunk and high. It was one of my first shows at First-Avenue which is amazing venue since every space has a great view with an intimate look at the stage. The crowd was all dancing their heart out the entire show and they had a awesome light show. My buddies and I all brought flasks and joints which we were passing around to strangers and friends alike in the crowd. It was just an amazing time all around and giving out free drugs and alcohol while in college felt like a baller move. Really all the shows at First-Avenue are amazing and haven’t seen anything bad there

    The largest sex organ is between your ears. So don’t over think this. If you treat this as a massive problem you will just psych yourself out which is actually what you are doing right now. You don’t need to apologize which would just make this a larger issue. If you treat this like a problem it will continue to be one. Just relax. Roll around and have fun. Just remember that almost all women can’t come from penetration alone. Your tongue and fingers will always be better than your dick. Treat her delicate as an egg yolk and have fun. Focus on fun and pleasure and relax

    Edit: Nothing wrong with touching yourself when rolling around. That is a normal natural part of all sexual encounters. Don’t feel ashamed about it. Its part of the fun
