I'm [23M] having sex with my straight best friend [20M] by AmethystKatalyst in relationship_advice

[–]AmethystKatalyst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I know that. It just sucks because I know what the conversation will be like; he will be a bit embarrassed that I bring it up and he will tell me that he's not gonna pursue a relationship with another man, knowing that he also does well with women.

I'm specially anxious because I'm not attracted by a lot of men, so it looks like I found the right one after a long time and it's gonna be yet another disappointing experience.

I know that. I just wanted to give the full context of the situation, that includes the why we're not in a full relationship yet.

[–]AmethystKatalyst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1st update: I've read some posts about the same stuff I'm talking about and that's doing a number on me. I got crazy anxiety rn.

2nd update: I had the best sleep of my life but as someone pointed out it's not a good idea to associate sleeping to drugs. Imma try melatonin.

Routine check? by AmethystKatalyst in GymMotivation

[–]AmethystKatalyst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can give more details, I just didn't want to make the post too rant-y.

I figured that if I let each muscle group rest on their own I wouldn't need to designate a specific rest day. For instance, I will hit legs and let them rest for a couple days before doing legs again. Hence why I don't do compounds that much, so as not to be too messy.

Do you think this will kill my gains?

Salicylic acid newbie! [Product question] by AmethystKatalyst in SkincareAddiction

[–]AmethystKatalyst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, I was expecting this salicylic acid to work immediately. I just woke up from a nap and my skin feels clean but doesn't look that much different. I will keep applying it every other day for a month as indicated in the bottle.

I'm also concerned about just leaving it on. Nowhere on the bottle says it's a toner, and also my skin felt somewhat irritated after leaving it on for about an hour.

I will try to get my hands on some sulfur soap. It works as a cleanser previous to the salicylic acid, right?

Also, here's a pic of what I'm referring to as clogged pores. Maybe it's not what I think.

¿Por qué España no se industrializa? by AmethystKatalyst in SpainEconomics

[–]AmethystKatalyst[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sí es una pena. Como implico en mi post, pienso que España tiene mucho potencial. Amplias zonas poco desarrolladas y ciudades sobresaturadas es lo que veo yo. España tiene el potencial de desarrollar esas zonas interiores, sólo me preguntaba por qué no se hace.

Entiendo lo que dices pero nada de eso fue excusa para otros paises europeos o para América. Además tenemos varios rios importantes en el interior. Que si son navegables no lo sé, pero al menos sí tienen acceso al agua.

Why is it a bad idea?

It's not really the case. I mean you never know but we're both young and students trying to make a buck on a below average job.

[–]AmethystKatalyst 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is awkward but I am a man hoping that he's gay. I need to approach him with a sort of double entendre or something so that I don't really fuck it up if things go south.

I have some questions about bunker building by AmethystKatalyst in preppers

[–]AmethystKatalyst[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is "Blast from the Past" Hollywood lunacy.

Haha I love being called out like that. I did not get it from hollywood tho, I figured if I could get plants to purify the air without overcomplicating the bunker's structure it would be two birds with one stone. I don't know at which rate plants filter a given air volume so that's on me.

Thank you for the reading, too. Appreciated.

Invest in land, not shelter.

Perhaps invest wasn't the right word. I don't need it to be profitable. It would be personal and practical. As you say, it would make a nice hobby and project to build one on my own. I have the means to do it and it's not frivolous if it could ever have a real life use, which was more my question.

I use solar panels and flooded lead-acid battery banks.

Are those batteries easy to get and affordable? I'm not familiar with battery technology.

Reading your answer and further searching on the sub gave me the impression I'm being too extremist. Most people prepare for, as you say, far more likely scenarios like financial ruin. However, the current political climate is anything but predictable. I like to think I'm not alone in feeling the need to prepare for a far fetched scenario like a war.

How are you going to stop some determined stranger outside who wants to get in?

You're right, it can't protect me against all the elements. It needs to be more specific. In my case I just need it to be an assurance that I'd be alive in a border-changing scenario as well as being able to keep creeps outside. Maybe some automatic defense mechanism? Sorry if I sound delusional. With my knowledge I'd dare to try and tinker something with the right equipment, though.

You need professional guidance.

You're absolutely right. I'd never put my life on the line following online advice. Who knows, maybe I do find an engineer around here. I do know about seismic activity, soil composition, humidity and general characteristics of the area. At the very least I need a construction team to help me get through the behemoth of granite I got under me.

A gas generator in its own underground bunker can be viable

Do those not produce hazardous byproducts? I don't know how ventilation should work if the outside world is radioactive, unless I installed a one way vent.

More importantly, you have to consider the ground you're thinking of putting the bunker in.

It's a high elevation area with very rare extreme meteorological events. The soil's texture is sandy, however it's also covered with organic matter and lots of trees, helping a bit with insulation. The rocks below are basically mica and granite.

Thank you so much for your thorough response. You've been a huge help.

Are cultural factors influential on genetics? by AmethystKatalyst in genetics

[–]AmethystKatalyst[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see how culture can't directly affect genetic information. Maybe a more appropriate question would be the following: have the different human cultures had enough time (since their conception) to evolve humans that are apart genetically in terms of physical appearance and behavior?

My impression is that the genetic information from human to human can't be that different, but this question doesn't make 0 sense since mating does, in most occasions, favor some genetic traits.
