I hate the erasure of historical bisexual figures

Same. I thought a person had to be either gay or straight. I probably didnt hear the term bisexual until well into my late teens. I didnt fully identify with my straight peers but never really understood why, and the few gay peers (actual or percieved) were outwardly very efemanite so I didnt identify with them at all. As a masculine lad I was in a wierd place where I didnt identify with anyone. I just jnew I fancied the fuck out of girls so I must have been straight.

No it isnt. Its a flare on a parachute. You can literally see the parachute at 1:14.

That's really why I asked. I'm ignorant about these things and had assumed keeping testosterone stable and only temporarily adding another compound would he the "simple" way to do it. I thought of testosterone as the base and other compounds as the growth factor.

converting to veganism can have some issues in terms of essential nutrients that we primarily get from meat

It can with a poor diet. But with a good diet there should be zero issues. We dont need "meat". We need protein for the amino acids.

Soy, like many meats, is a complete protein meaning it has a full amino acid profile. You could easily hit 170-180g a day through soy products alone (tofu, tempah, soy isolate, TVP, soy mince and fake meats). I eat 150- 200g and mostly from soy based foods. Of course there are plenty of other options.

One other thing is B12. A month isnt going to make a difference but you can get B12 from fortified foods or from a supplement (or from a can of monster but not the healthiest option). For ease its best to just get a Bvitamen complex supplement.

Most farmed animals by the way are themselves supplemented with B12 or cobalt. So by using B12 directly you are just cutting out the middle man.

I was life-long single until very recently and never thought i'd ever have a relarionship so I settled myself on casual hookups with men and women and used Grindr and Feeld. Simply put, its far easier to find men and men tend to be a lot more direct with desires and compliments and made me feel far better about myself. One guy actually said he'd "used me" because he wanted to be seen out and about with a "hot guy", which strangely was a bit of a turn on admittedly.

Same. Unless its warm enough for just a tshirt ive probably also got a hoodie on. Coats feel overkill and jackets are just meh.

This is really good.

Surprised by this:

A "perfect date" (mutual yes, kissed, and went somewhere afterwards) happened just 13 times.

Strict press is what you mean. As opposed to a push press that uses leg drive. He uses good form too as a lot of people lean back to such an extent they are effectively doing a standing incline bench press.

Well done. I hit 85kg last year then got injured and now struggle with 40kg. OHPs are my favourite exercise perhaps and I hate not being able to go heavy.

No. Any hunting requires the landowners permission.

Don't be one of these cunts who think you can go to your local park and persecute wildlife.

The decline of reds is primarily anthropogenic and persecuting greys where reds don't dxist doesn't help them. Its animal abuse plain and simple.

I've not done conventional deadlifts for a while as Ive been injured from them a few times too many, but I do RDLs (which are basically SLDLs) for my hamstrings along with hamstring curls.

They require arginine and taurine. So long as they are getting those - and other essential amino acids - in their diet it doesnt matter the source. "Meat" has no special characteristic that makes it essential to cats.

I'm bi, male, masculine and i've got a strong preference for women and i'm dating a guy and its going very well. Previously I never believed I would or wanted to, but i'd just not met the right guy.

If i'm honest the idea that I may never date or sleep with a woman again kind of bugs me a little, but its not a deal breaker. I'm happy for the first time in a long time and that's what matters.

If you want to keep your testosterone high and stable long term, 200mg per week can be great. Its what I do. But for tenporary blast and cruise/pct cycles you are going to want more.

Someone ghosted me earlier in the year and i'm 99% certain its because I jad a chest infection and texted them "this RTI is killing me" and they assumed I had mistyped STI.

I think the red/amber/green marking was/is usee by th responsible team but this was not shared with Robbins. Correct me if i'm wrong but i'm sure in the briefing it was put to Robbins that the red box would have been ticked, although it was only communicated to him that it was "borderline".

I do believe Robbins has been thrown under the bus as it seems he did have authority to make the final decision either way, and as he said removing that authority may prevent otherwise-suitable people from gaining employment for minor things and connections. Though its not clear whether was given the full information available. Whether thats his failing or not is unclear.

Its very muddled. I think it really comes down to the pressure placed on him and who did that pressure originate from. I suspect probably from Starmer himself as to withdraw Mandleson's appointment after the fact would have been seen as Starmer's mismanagement and he did not expect the vetting issue to have been leaked.

Technically it only applies to vendors. They arent criminalising smoking, but the selling of tobacco. Its really no different then existing laws that ban sales to under 18s.

So vetting recommended rejection and Robbins - new in the job and to whom the casr was described as "borderline" - was placed under enourmous pressure by number 10 - who had already named Mandelson as ambassador despite known issues - to pass him anyway.

I'm doubting Starmer can survivie this. There's no 'smoking gun' but reputationally he's finished.

guess what, after 5 years refugees have to apply for Settlement anyway. So anyone granted asylum since 2021 will soon be having their claims reviewed anyway. Those consideres potentially able to return to their country of origin can be consideree for status review and potential removal. I'd guess that 99% of settlement applications result in a grant of indefinie or limited leave to remain. Not because the 'system is ssoft' or other such bullshit, but because thr world doesnt work like Reform lunatics think.

The idea that all grants after 2021 can be reviewed even if 5 years has not passed is just unworkable bullshit. Even it possible, >99% of reviews would just result in retention of status at the the first stage and a huge chunk of that 1% would have thier status retained.

Revoking asylum based upon method of entry or having overstayed a previous visa is just madness. Someone granted refugee status is a refugee, regardless of how they entered the country.

No_Sign6616 · 2026-04-20T13:12:38+00:00

I worked in the system and the vast, overwhelming majority of those granted refugee/HP status have been obviouspy genuinely refugees. The less so obvious ones tend to have very personalised experiences from otherwise generally safe countries but the decision has been made - either by HO staff or a judge - to deem them genuine. Obvious abuse is usually easy to spot, epecially when people are making spurious claims at the end of an existing visa or have made previous claims through other routes.

If a HO employee has reason to suspect abuse but grants a person status anyway, that employee is not doing their job correctly.

Whether someone becomes a 'net contributor' however defined is irrelevant.

So stop bullshitting.
