Condoms are a wonderful thing. Should try ‘em some day.

There were plenty of kids in my middle and high school years that an armed teacher would have murdered for their behavior.

Bad idea. Teachers aren’t immune from rage or mental illness. And 25 teens in a class is a perfect catalyst.

Nobody will ask you for anything of importance ever. You have nothing to lose.

Cons? Everything else. Being poor makes everything harder. Even feeling more desperate for a job will chase that opportunity away. Employers can smell desperation and “I need this job so badly!”

Hospitals are built under vastly different codes than commercial real estate. How they withstand severe weather, width of doors/hallways, ceiling heights, air filtration, power grid considerations, storage of volatile chemicals/gasses, type of fire suppression, number of elevators/size, etc.

It’s often cheaper to demolish and build from scratch.

Now, for residential conversion from a former commercial office space — wayyyyy easier.

For what it’s worth, a lot of companies aren’t acquiescing to the work from home paradigm shift. They should, but they’re fighting it tooth and nail.

I think it’s the weather and run down feel that does it. Much like Detroit.

This doesn’t bother me. Like, at all.

People who get shaken by this need to take a deep long look inside themselves. There’s areas of opportunities for them. White mermaid? Black mermaid? Gay Elsa? Who gives a fuck.

Cleveland Ohio, but that was expected. Prettiest city in Ohio is Cincinnati.

Well, it’s where every other old fart in America wants to retire to. No state income tax, hot af, irrational governor starting Fox fueled culture wars with Disney and gay people — appeals to their conservative values.

It grossed me out. Rising property insurance and taxes. Lousy school districts. Increasingly worse tropical weather. After 30 years it was enough for 3 lifetimes.

My daughters are 5 and 7. Global heating is not going to be a good thing anywhere but Florida is especially susceptible. In a way, I’m giving them a fighting chance living 1000 miles north at 1000’ elevation.

You can buy SPY and do ok. Or if you want to get fancy, open an account with fidelity. They position you in the stocks/bonds/funds that make sense, and do all the decisions so you don’t end up holding the bag. This has been a ridiculously bad year on the market, but most years are better.

Investing is a form of gambling with managed risks, to be sure.

The alternative is losing most of your nut to inflation in a static savings or ultra conservative money market account.

It's a method of investing where your broker hedges an investment by making trades in another. Put another way, it exists to limit risk while maximizing gains. If everything works out in the market, which is a big IF.

I've read enough psychology texts to know that sexuality is fluid, and while I'm a cisgendered heterosexual man... that's just a human-made label. If I was blindfolded and a man or woman gave me oral pleasure and didn't speak or make any noises, would I know the difference? Likely not.

It was obviously convincing enough that I didn't notice anything was amiss, I'd be fine with it.

That being said, I've only been with cisgendered people... I'd assume trans men and women disclose that pretty upfront, particularly if they haven't had bottom surgery.

Nope. Justices can be impeached but conviction is 2/3rds senate vote. Not likely in our lifetime in either direction.

They’re not known for reading carefully.

I know this guy’s personality without even speaking to him or seeing his face.
