People give too little credit to how much crimes the police stops simply through self control.

So...

I've always been quiet and never had much sex. That has changed. I'm in the kind of phase that people look at me and say: "You were so nice! What went wrong!?" And now I'll have sex with men, women, ~~hookers~~ escorts, ~~trannys~~ not fully transitioned MtoF transsexuals, robots, I'll probably engage in BDSM, piss play, breath play, and other exotic activities. I won't engange in drugs/chemsex that's where I draw the line.

Thus, the advice I've always been given and followed looks a little inadequate. Somehow saying to just use condoms, pills and IUD looks like insufficient knowledge to the kind of behavior I'll engage in.

Therefore I need to up my game into sex ed and STIs knowledge and prevention. I've been looking inton PrEP, but I really need to read more about diseases and prevention to protect myself and be able to treat myself if I catch something.

Any suggestion of videos, books, and other learning resources that goes beyond the "just use a condom and have a single partner?"

Unless they refund me, I'm boarding. Can't afford to throw away an air ticket.

Hello.

I'm very interesting in your ideas.

Do you think you could e-mail me to discuss what you are planning in more details?

My e-mail is john.cena@fbi.gov

Thanks.

Nah.

I want to get nipple piercings because I want anybody who have sex with me to play with them and, as a bonus, humiliate me and degrade me. (yes, I know, body modifiers frown upon the sexualization of piercings, but I want them precisely because they are sexual, lol)

But I don't want Karen, Christian Mother of the Street, to be denouncing me to the police for being a gay freak of nature who will transmit homosexuality to her children when they see my piercings through my shirt.

Thinking about having my nipples pierced. However, my main source of doubt is that it would be very visible when using a T-shirt...

Thoughts?

Yes.

Depends on the virus, but unlikely.

The thing about viruses is that it is an arms race. It's almost impossible to get a virus from playing media on your computer. Why? Well, let me explain in a 3 easy steps:

  1. Viruses have specific goals. They want to spy on you, encrypt your files, use your computer on a botnet, access ads with your computer, etc. In order to do that, they must gain access within your system to do those things.

  2. Since they need access, the easiest way to get access is just by simply asking you. Which is why executables (software and games) are the riskiest stuff to pirate. But it's possible to get viruses from other sources, they do that by exploring flaws in the software. For example, a while ago they managed to insert viruses through VLC media player subtitles.

  3. However, simply exploiting a flaw isn't enough because flaws get fixed. Following the VLC Media player example, few days after the virus was distributed, VLC launched a new version that corrected the flaw, making the virus useless. Therefore, it's necessary that the virus either explores a 0-day (a flaw that hasn't been widely discovered - this kind of information is sold for a lot of money on the deep web and is usually used to hack governments and bit corporations) or targets people using old software on their machines.

In conclusion: you can catch Aids having sex with condoms, maybe it had a tear, maybe you had a small bleeding on your mouth, etc, but you aren't getting aids using condoms unless you're extremely unlucky. In the same vein, it's possible to catch viruses from media files, but if your software is updated, it's extremely unlikely.

It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like "the world will end soon" or "my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto."

Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.

Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I'm start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

I wouldn't know. I don't use Reddit.

I feel like I wrote this post from time to time on Reddit and I think I'll start this tradition here. I'm. a Honor Harrington fan. I've read several other space operas and they always fall short. The three that came close were Lt. Leary, Kris Longknife and Vorkosigan saga. Lt. Leary was nice, but it failed on World building. Kris Longknife also failed on world building and had astronomical levels of cringe with aliens and plot, but I enjoyed it. Vorkosigan saga had better world building and it was nice overall, but the books without Miles Vorkosigan weren't enjoyable. There were other series that I enjoyed: Serrano Legacy, Vatta's War (those are some of my favorites but they were too short), Starship's mage (it declines with every new book), The Lost Fleet (it has a serious plot problem, the plot doesn't move forward), Old Man's War (it was really nice), Dread Empire Fall (also awesome), Teixcalaan (good, but short), Alarm of War (good, but short and pretty generic), Bobbiverse (I read until book 3, it isn't for me), Red Rising 1st trilogy (really nice, but too Hunger Gamish, this whole dividing society into a cast system is getting old), Ark Royal. The Three Body Problem was awesome and, contrary to most series, didn't leave me craving more after it was over. Edit: forgot to mention The Expanse, it was OK.

I think that what won me over on HH was the fact that she is a complete Mary Sue and other character don't fall far from the tree, there is a nice world building, characters die, and there is a ton of action.

On the other hand, there are some long books that I enjoy that aren't space operas. I really enjoy the Dresden Files (because he is cool and it is a long series), I absolutely love Jack Reacher (it is just a nice fun read, it's like a nice Big Mac), I also enjoy The Spellmonger series, and I enjoyed the Riyria. I disliked Takeshi Kovacs (lack of sequence and plot) and I absolutely hate Southern Reach (VanderMeer), and there is another popular sci-fi book that is written as a report, which I also hated. I don't like those very innovative mystery stories where you are trying to figure out wtf is going on or waiting for a plot to start until the middle of the book.

Got any suggestions? =)

(OMG, after writing this post, I see myself as an incredible hard reader to please)

Keep playing to get more rich.

Most professional gamblers quit just before a big victory. I won't make that mistake.

I feel like it will be bad because authors won't have freedom to make things their way.

Should I spend my time reading it or look for a long series of a single author?

That's cool.

But did you clean your tummy today?

Don't let your emotions and your happiness keep you from doing important stuff, like post here, start communities, reply posts, and clean your tummy.

I'd compare more to the Titan situation. Every day there is an expert explaining how they are doomed,

I'm not really watching anything because I don't visit reddit, but from time to time, news appear saying that it's sinking. Sometimes a starved seaman shows up talking about how the ship had split in half during a sunny day and they are currently attempting to use silver tape to glue it back together before a storm hits them. Then another one shows up a couple days later saying they no longer have food...

You want the job that is offered to you, pays good, and won't feel like hell every day. This job may or may not be related to your field of study, but you better study something useful if you want to be taken seriously.

Stop thinking that you can pick and choose, sometimes you can, sometimes you can't. Some people can, most people can't.
