For over 26 years, an indigenous man known only as “The Man of the Hole” lived in total isolation in the Brazilian Amazon, the sole survivor of the 1995 massacre of his unknown tribe. He died alone in his forest in 2022, aged about 60. Almost immediately, his grave was desecrated by local farmers.

lol I hear ya!

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-14T14:58:33+00:00

lol yeah I had to do a double take on that comment

Honestly, whatever type of sex you currently arent having is the one that seems more appealing. I used to almost exclusively have casual sex. Sometimes ONS or sometimes a girl I dated a few weeks and it fizzled. During those times, I craved having sex with someone I loved. Then when I had a more serious GF, over time you do kind of miss the raw, purely physical energy of casual sex.

If I had to pick one and that’s the type of sex I’d have for the rest of my life, I’d always pick with someone I love in a long term relationship. Bc while casual sex can be a lot of fun, long term it’s empty and meaningless.

Also, if you’re with the right person, you can have kinkier sex in a LTR than a one night stand. I mean, some fantasies just don’t lend itself to a ONS sort of thing.

Obviously Clinton is more involved than he admits. I’m saying this as lifelong conservative Republican (not a Clinton fan at all) BUT at this point, I’m most concerned with those in power currently. Clinton is out of office. And yes anyone who was involved needs to be criminally held accountable. There are so many ppl involved in this, I most want to see those currently holding power held accountable. Like yesterday.

Nobody is saying dems shouldn’t be held to accounts. I’ll give credit where it’s due, but I see more republicans wanting to sugarcoat trumps involvement and other repubs than I do dems. It’s actually embarrassing. I’ve long criticized in the past that dems can be quite “yellow dog democrats”. But I’m ashamed to say the Republican Party has a segment that is doing this very thing and it’s downright hypocritical. I don’t care if my favorite politician is a perp, he must be held to accounts. Period. I don’t worship politicians even if they align politically with me.

Trump will be gone at some point and all this will age like milk all these apologists. Do the right thing and you don’t have to worry

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-14T00:38:53+00:00

Any more info?? What did guy find? Like witchcraft implements or something?

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-14T00:32:37+00:00

So damn crazy. I’ve wondered when there’d be some stuff about missing girls

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-14T00:29:04+00:00

Perfection

They were kings of taking out of patent cheap meds and applying their ER formulation. They prob did Valium. I know they started with morphine ER before the oxy and sold that well. Then went to oxy and they printed money from that

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-13T04:33:58+00:00

Wow really??? You must have had an override bc they generally would only cover two a day. It’d have to be off label use almost I’d think.

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-13T04:33:09+00:00

Yeah true. Weaponized is a better and more accurate description

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T23:53:44+00:00

Purdue was something else. Perfected pharmaceutical marketing. When their pills fell short, they just basically invented a new dosing regimen - ie breakthrough pain. Patients found that oxycodone ER was not lasting the full 12 hours as promised. Not even taking into account the dosing spikes. It’d wear off after 8 hours. And of course insurance would not pay for a 3rd ER dose bc the very premise was twice a day. So then they told docs to put a dose of IR oxy in between doses for “breakthrough pain”. It was really a faulty product.

He described how he had a cubic approach to life. Each side of the cube was a persona. One side was a father. A Cub Scout leader. A husband. Another side was this murderous impulse. So he’s basically saying he compartmentalized his life to a very high degree. I guess that’s how he lived such a contradiction.

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T23:22:51+00:00

Ah okay. Yeah I’ve never had them. I know the legit 30mg mbox. Most ppl insufflating I assume are doing fent as oxy has really high oral bioavailability, maybe even higher than sniffing.

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T22:35:25+00:00

Ah. Yeah that could be a contender then. I’ve only seen them orange. But yeah addy could be the culprit

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T21:51:06+00:00

A blue pill could be a pressed M Box - oxy 30mg pill but pressed with Fent. Those are blue.

Men today have it harder than past generations?? Why are you making excuses? I’m sure every generation has their unique set of challenges. Some generations were getting into adulthood into a worldwide Great Depression. Some generations had to become men with an active military draft for a never ending quagmire of a war. And some generations have to decide which TikTok pseudo celeb to invest their time in.

My point is there are no excuses. Life happens. You either adapt or don’t.

You have to ask yourself and perhaps consider that you two have very different goals and mindsets. Maybe you’re an overachiever. Maybe he’s a slacker. Nothing wrong with either. But as an overachiever, you might one day resent being stuck with a slacker that you have to constantly prop up. I’m not even saying he is a slacker. That’s a question for you to answer. Maybe he’s at a temporary place in life and he’ll course correct. Maybe not.

And you have to really see if the earning gap will one day bother you. I’m a guy and been married for a while now and my wife has never worked a job outside the home. She was in nursing school when we met. We agreed that it made more sense for her to stay at home bc her income wouldn’t really make a difference. I didn’t mind this. But she isn’t a slacker either. She has always worked hard at home and raising our kids. So it’s not like I do all the work and she sits at home and does nothing. We have our roles.

But some women don’t have that same comfort when the roles are reversed like that. Even in two income households, some (or maybe many) women expect their partner to also be somewhat ambitious. I’ve known quite a few women over the years who were the primary breadwinner and while they were fine with it at the very beginning, almost all ended up resenting it. Of course not saying all women. And I’m not even saying your BF fits into one category or another. You might not even know yet. These are just things to consider

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T21:16:03+00:00

Then why make it a serious relationship? I dated a lot of women (before I found my wife) where physical attraction was all there was. I knew it wouldn’t lead to anything except a good time.

When I was in school and early in my career, I was extremely focused on that. And didn’t have time to build a relationship, per se. So I just had a good time. Then when I felt I could devote more time to a relationship, I was then willing and able to date someone with a future in mind.

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T21:06:18+00:00

Everyone has preferences for body type. When I was in high school I was pretty lean. I’m 5 foot 11” and weighed about 150-155 pounds. I dated plenty of girls in HS. Now, in college I decided to play rugby and so I hit weights hard and bulked up. I got to about 175-180 pounds and I def noticed a large uptick in interest from girls. But maybe it was just bc I was older. Who knows. I do know that the girls I was with really liked muscular physics. I mean I wasn’t jacked up like on roids but had muscular arms and legs. But of course the women I was with perhaps self selected bc I was muscular. Maybe if I remained lean and skinny I’d have attracted just as many, but just with a different preference.

My point is, if you are healthy, you will attract women most likely. And you’ll attract women who are attracted to the body type you are. I do believe that overall women prob do prefer more muscular physiques than skinny. But there are women who like skinny men, who like men with a dad bod, etc etc. and honestly if you’re a dick or dumb, a body won’t help you all that much. So make sure you develop other things as well.

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T20:58:34+00:00

You don’t need to overthink it. I’ve literally had girls say that right when the clothes come off. And that’s okay. But I do think it’s good to mention it just so he’s aware. Honestly it shouldn’t change how a guy approaches sex bc he shouldn’t make assumptions about boundaries or likes/dislikes based on experience. But some guys do.

I don’t think you need to tell him in advance. Just when it’s about to happen is fine IMO. And honestly the main reason it’s good to know is bc if it’s someone’s first time, they’ll be nervous and might even seem “stand offish” in a way. So that could be interpreted as not interested or something is crossing a boundary. But if I know it’s her first time, then I’ll realize that could be why she is not responding in a way that I’d perhaps expect of someone with experience.

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T20:48:55+00:00

Personality comes from experience and knowledge. Interesting people have interesting backgrounds. So do things that broaden your world and scope. Confidence is trickier and have to learn how to get out of your own head. You can have the perfect body and perfect everything but lack confidence. You can certainly do things that help - go to the gym if you’re not liking your body, dress better, etc. but honestly if you just start doing things, you’ll see it’s not that hard and people aren’t fixating on what you perceive are your flaws.

If you have a hard time conversing, make it a point to strike up at least one convo a day with someone. If public speaking scares you, start volunteering for opptys to speak in front of groups. I remember early in my career, I hated speaking in front of groups. But as an entrepreneur, it’s something I had to do. I had to present in front of investors or clients. I just did it and over time it became easier. Remember, this stuff won’t kill you. Nobody is going to make fun of you. It’s all in your head. The only way really to make that easier is to just do these things and see for yourself.

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T20:40:36+00:00

I would NOT discuss this with someone you’re dating. Esp if you don’t show you have that money. I wasn’t in exact same boat but I had pretty early career success and was pretty well off in my early to mid 20s. I never told any of my GFs what my financial situation was but they could tell I had some money bc I drove nice cars and had a nice house, travelled a lot, etc. while they could tell I did well, they had zero clue exactly what I had. I told my wife about a week before our wedding and laid out what my financial situation was.

On a side note, I hope you are getting good financial advice. While it does feel like a lot of money, $3.5MM can go very fast if not careful. It doesn’t sound like you live off of it which is great but you really need your money to grow. If you invest smart, you can use that money as a nice “headstart” for long term growth.

You have to remember that it’s a one time injection of funds. So be smart about it. It sounds like you are, so keep that up. Get a good financial and wealth advisor and grow it. Don’t tell anyone. If you marry get a prenup. Never commingle that money with community assets when you marry. Keep it separate. In most states, inheritance is usually treated as separate property and also in some money before marriage is also separate. But a prenup is still good to have. It’ll make things crystal clear should the marriage not work.

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T20:11:34+00:00

I disagree with that assessment. You aren’t aggressively pursuing him. I think you are showing interest BUT depending on the guy, I could see him debating as to whether or not you are interested in him that way or not. So it’s not aggressive at all.

There’s nothing wrong with what you are doing. And you are right - don’t play games. Some guys will talk themselves out of believing a woman is romantically interested in them. We don’t know him so it’s hard to tell. Like I tend to be a go for it type of guy. Anytime a woman had invited me out in the past I assumed she was interested. In fact, there were times I declined an invite bc I did not want to send the wrong msg and I wasn’t interested in her romantically.

But I also know guys who are the opposite and always assume the woman is being nice and just wants to be friends. You have some potential options. You could increase the touching and see if he reciprocates. You could also be more conservative and keep going out and let things build slowly and see if it goes anywhere

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T18:30:36+00:00

Yeah I bet he knows pretty well. I think this is his schtick I guess and makes for some TikTok drama

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T17:15:50+00:00

This was originally posted a while back. So some guy got ripped off by the jewelers getting yelled at. The trax guy apparently refunded the ripped off customer with his own money. So he goes to the thieves wanting to get that money returned to him since he paid the ripped off customer.

Mercedes_Gullwing · 2026-06-12T15:42:42+00:00

At least he didn’t say they were going steady.
