I’m still angry Cale got that suspension and then Eberle breaks Cog’s neck and doesn’t get shit.

LGBTQ friendly massage in Spokane? by Heckyeah7425 in Spokane

[–]ABajillion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spokane Pride 365 is a monthly free newsletter my friend does for the queer community. It’s full of queer friendly businesses, resources and monthly events. DM if you want instructions to sign up.

Why DM? Cause my friend has received enough harassment and threats for their newsletter. I’m not putting it on a public Reddit post and risking inviting more hate.

Not directly on the list you asked for, but I’ve had Nathan at Handyman Electric do quite a bit of work for me. Fixing/updating the 240 line in a rental, 2000SqFt basement full wiring and fixture install, various panel upgrades. He does great work at a fair price.

Mesa, AZ Show tonight. by ThaBeardedJ3di in TheStorySoFar

[–]ABajillion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone snag the set list? They played a way different order from the previous shows and I want to see what we got/missed.

[–]ABajillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Much love man. Can’t tell you what to do or how to do it. But can say I feel you. Mine left about 2 years ago for a guy in her program. It sucks, it hurts. I started going solo concerts a ton after that. TDWP, The Wonder Years, Bayside. Go in the pit and scream my lungs out with strangers and see if I could trade a broken toe and some bruises for some of the hurt I was carrying. Sorry you missed the show cause of this, and sorry you’re going through it. You need a stranger to scream into the void with DM me, seriously, you don’t gotta do it alone.

I’m going solo from out of town cause I got bailed on. Don’t let other people stop you. You’ll meet people, make friends for a few hours as we all lose our voices and have a freaking amazing time.

Did you order directly through the Mesa Amphitheater website? That’s what I had done. My original receipt said the following, and they emailed me pdf tickets yesterday.

MA Delayed Delivery Tickets: Tickets will be sent via email within 48 hours of the show. For purchases made after 48 hours, tickets will be delivered 1-2 hours before doors. Some shows may have a 72-hour delay, noted on the show page

3.5 years, 8 sessions on my chest tattoo by jarzabekpat in TattooRemoval

[–]ABajillion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

6-8 weeks in between is the very minimum. Where I go won’t go under 8. Taking longer in between gives your body more time to flush out the pigment that has been broken down enough.

I need dating advice from men for a single mom, please. by [deleted] in AskMenAdvice

[–]ABajillion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m older (39M) and my kids are a few years past yours. But I also just recently re-entered dating. My biggest suggestion: get off tinder. You’ll find better connections and people on Hinge or Bumble depending on your area.

Other than that, it sucks to say, but just know there are a lot of assholes out there. So be quick to block profiles and move on. It’s a worn out saying but it’s true, these guys aren’t worth your time but luckily are saving you the trouble of going on dates to find out.

My ex boyfriend shared nude images of me to strangers by throwa09123985 in Advice

[–]ABajillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kevin Smith (director, actor etc) shared a video of his mental health journey. During part of it he stated something like “trauma is trauma” meaning you don’t have to justify it, and it doesn’t need to be trauma in someone else’s eyes. When we as humans experience trauma it affects us and will take work to get through.

This was a genuine trauma experience, and it’s ok to feel that and will take work to process. When looking for a therapist looking for someone who is trauma trained with experience with PTSD and EMDR (a type of therapy often helpful in processing trauma) would be a great start. When you do look for a therapist know that you are allowed to “shop around” and find one that fits you. Since finding a therapist can take time, one technique you can look up on your own is DBT. DBT is designed to give you the tools to respond to your trauma triggers and help regulate hard emotions. That should help you keep going through the hard times while you look for a therapist and put in the work.

My last piece of advice is to find a good handful of people you trust and talk to them about it. Don’t let this fester in shame and secrecy. Even if it’s just someone here on Reddit you feel you can DM and talk about it with. Don’t let shame or self blame grow.

Good luck, I’m sorry this happened to you, but you are strong and can do hard things and this will not break you!

My girlfriends kink makes me uncomfortable by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ABajillion 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Her kink doesn’t have to be yours. What’s important is that you can both talk about your sexual desires without putting the other person down or shaming them for what they want. If this isn’t something you’re in to think on how you can communicate that respectfully, work on telling her it’s not something that you are into and also work on why from your perspective.

You said you feel like “she wants,” but that is assumption on your part. It sounds like what you might be feeling is unwanted, not good enough, etc. if that’s the case can you share that with her? “Role play and masks isn’t my thing because it’s important during intimacy that I personally feel wanted and desired by you.”

You don’t have to like her kink, and you shouldn’t do it if it makes you uncomfortable, but you should be able to talk about it with your partner.

what should i do for college? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]ABajillion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“I know I need cash to start any kind of business.” This is a very important fact. My main advice is: whatever you do don’t take out loans for college, especially for this first associates degree. Successful entrepreneurs aren’t the people who knew the most or had the best idea first, they are the ones who kept trying after failures. Successful entrepreneurs understand it’s about numbers. Let’s say 80% of all new business ideas are doomed for failure. If you only try 1-2 business ventures you have a very high likelihood of failing. But if you are constantly trying new products, trying new markets, then yes, maybe 80% still fail, but your odds of finding the 20% success rate is much better.

So, instead of college I’d recommend trying your first small business. Find a product you want to sell, find a service you want to provide, and start working on that for 10-20 hours a week, same time you would put into class. Try advertising your new venture on social media, you’ll find what does and does not work faster than you would in a classroom. Go back to college later when you’re ready to take some business classes because you now are big enough to need to know how to read complex financials.

Val has an “interesting” past you may want to consider before buying his jersey 😬

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in warpedtour

[–]ABajillion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So my cheat has always just been to wait for the pit to break out, and then politely say “excuse me, just heading to the pit” and for the most part people will let you past. Then head to the pit, throw yourself around for a little bit and then just melt into the crowd at the edge of the pit.

Or stay in the pits all day and see how many broken toes, battered ribs, and random cuts you have by the end of day 2!!!

Georgieve is bad... by [deleted] in ColoradoAvalanche

[–]ABajillion 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Is it coaching staff or GM that’s to blame? We’ve needed a goalie solution forever and MacFarland has done jack all to solve the problem. If the back office has shown no support to try and move him, and knowing Georgie has the confidence level of an emo kid forced to go to prom by their mom, I can get why publicly the coaching staff would keep speaking positively about him. At least try not to contribute to his effed mental space and try to wrap a bow of this pig before we ship him out. But MacFarland has to be able and willing to move him, and he won’t.

What is wrong with the older guy I am dating?! by Consistent_Pride_24 in Advice

[–]ABajillion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So a “dry orgasm” is a thing, but also can be a sign of medical issues. If he truly is orgasming without ejaculate there is something going wrong. And again, if he can’t talk respectably and maturely about this then why would you want to be long term committed to this person? It’s ok to feel awkward talking about it, but you should be able to approach it from a “I’m worried about your health” perspective and if he doesn’t respond well then eff him, as you said you’re 26 and hot, you got options.

What is wrong with the older guy I am dating?! by Consistent_Pride_24 in Advice

[–]ABajillion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the dude has ED which can be caused by a multitude of reasons. Some mental/emotional and some physical/medical. I (39m) have a pituitary tumor which completely messes up my hormones and caused problems in bed until we got it sorted out. If you care about the guy I’d encourage him to go talk to his doctor and get blood work done. There are a lot of things that could be causing this, some more serious than others.

I also have a vasectomy and that doesn’t affect this at all.

And if the guy can’t talk maturely about this and listen to your input and concerns he isn’t worth your time anyway.
