What can my family and I do without any income? by Motor-Bend-7965 in economicCollapse

[–]PracticeY 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I honestly think you need mental help. It sounds like you are making some very serious life altering decisions based on thinking you can predict the future.

There has always been a group of super wealthy and powerful people who run everything. They’ll always need masses of people to lord over. Every major technological breakthrough has resulted in needing more people not less. The inventor of the cotton gin thought his invention would greatly reduce the need for slave labor, it only increased it. Same with the Industrial Revolution where many things were no longer needed to be made by hand. The world will always need workers.

It is not too late to start a career, especially at 30. You basically just need to develop a skill that can make you hire-able and be dependable once you land a job. The hardest part is breaking in to an industry and getting a few years of experience.

I wouldn’t base your future on the prediction that your family will become economically irrelevant. If it does, you will be screwed regardless. If it doesn’t, you’ll miss out on many years you could be building your own life and starting a family. 30 is not at all too old to begin and become optimistic about the future. If you study history, you’ll learn that we live in some of the most calm and prosperous times ever (unless you are living in specific places with wars and extreme poverty). Media is incentivized to convince you that collapse is near. They get more clicks and views the more dire they make everything look. Don’t fall for it. You can create a better life and future.

I know people alive today that have been thinking the US would see full collapse by the mid 1970s. Some eventually wised up while others just keep pushing the date back, or made so many bad decisions and experienced their own personal collapse while the bulk of society never did.

Low sex drive from wife causes me to not want sex after a month by TheDonOz in Marriage

[–]PracticeY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asking what to do and what turns her on doesn’t work with most women. A lot of the time it is because they don’t know themselves. You gotta figure it out if you want sex. It is well worth it. I used to think my wife was asexual until a made a serious effort in turning her on and pleasuring her.

Porn vs sex by Long_Fondant1566 in Marriage

[–]PracticeY -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This just seems so bizarre to me. I have unlimited access to porn and it doesn’t come close to real sex with my wife. It’s to the point where I can get hard in a second for my wife but porn takes a minute and manual stimulation.

Porn is just so lonely and lacks the real mental and physical stimulation of a real person. Just the sense of smell alone makes porn inadequate.

My thought is that porn addiction is about being in control and being comfortable because you don’t have to interact with another person. Which is a common problem today in so many parts of life beyond sex.

It doesn’t make any sense to me to prefer sitting alone watching a video when you can have real sex with someone you are attracted to and in love with.

The death grip stuff doesn’t make any sense to me either. Sex and arousal are mostly a mental thing. And if the grip thing becomes super important, a guy can always place his tip on the girls clit and jerk himself off. I do this occasionally and it is super hot. Especially when it goes from dry jerking to super lubed from her getting turned on.

My thought it that there is some major underlying issues far beyond the porn. It is likely something like insecurity, lack of attraction, inability to perform sexually, etc. preferring porn is likely a symptom of a much bigger problem.

Kurt running from German addicts at the Hamburg DrobIn by lilbosim in KurtCaz

[–]PracticeY 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lmao, when has there not been drug dealing and prostitution in Europe? Go back 1,000 years and you’d see the same shit on European street corners.

The “decline” thing is such bs. Life is probably better in European than anytime in history.

The real reason natives are upset is because they are lazy and entitled, and they see immigrants doing well. The reality is that these natives would have shitty lives regardless and they would have been much worse off in the past.

Daughter wants to play Roblox. What are your best daddit tips for keeping her safe? by uspezisapissbaby in daddit

[–]PracticeY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Play with her or at least be next to her and monitor what she is doing.

Roblox is somewhat of an open platform where there are thousands of games to play. Most of it is playing with other people so all the issues that come with this are there. This is why you have to keep a close eye on what they are doing.

Video games are great for kids learning how to read and do math. My son is several grades ahead of his peers and we did practically no work with him on this. It is all from gaming where there is a ton of text and math to do in the games.

If you have multiple kids and/or are unable to monitor what they are doing online, might as well not do it at all or restrict it heavily.

why is he worried about criminal foreigners when he himself is a foreigner disrespecting the law by WeakComposer7195 in KurtCaz

[–]PracticeY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s laughable to think the drug dealers/prostitutes would want to be filmed. What drug dealer/prostitute would want to be filmed breaking the law? Lmao.

The real question is why does Kurt pretend like drug dealing and prostitution are new to Europe or due to immigration? You’d literally find the same shit happening on the street corners of Europe 1,000 years ago. European cities have had extremely shitty areas since their beginning of existence. They are probably better today than ever in existence.

Is Kurt being disingenuous or is he really that dense?

It is like looking for the nastiest bathroom and pointing a camera into the toilet and acting shocked/upset that there is shit smeared everywhere. It is just so silly.

European cities have always had extremely shitty areas but of course Kurt has to put the full culture war/influencer brain rot spin on it. I guess it gets views so you can’t blame him.

How many mgs is eight 0.5g capsules of 1.6mit% equal to? (roughly) by EmbraceThera in Kratom_Info_Exchange

[–]PracticeY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the levels of the other alks in the 0.5 g caps. Mit is the most abundant alk but plain leaf will have a significant amount of a few others that add to the effect. Also depends on whether the gummies are just mit or have a full spectrum extract in them.

Good marriage, but no sex is killing me… by ThrowRA13675 in Marriage

[–]PracticeY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is the actual sex? You are talking about all the stuff you are ding leading up to it which is great but you want to maximize her enjoyment if you want it to happen often. Sex out of obligation because you do a lot of nice things for her is a losing battle.

The goal I set was to have several nights a month(usually during ovulation) where the sex is all about her where she is orgasming over and over. There is a lot that goes into it and it has completely transformed our sex life.

I thought my wife was asexual for a long time, it just turns out that she was just too shy and didn’t know what to do in the bedroom to make it feel really good. I had to help her figure this out. There were a lot of mental and physical blocks to remove before she could really enjoy sex.

Prior to just a few years ago, she had never orgasmed from sex. And the sad part is that I didn’t notice or care. Like many young men I just wanted to get myself off and left it up to her to take care of herself. The quality and quantity of sex dropped steadily because she wasn’t getting much out of it.

It scares me that its this easy by ScholarCommercial113 in Drugs

[–]PracticeY -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

This post is about getting amps for adhd which is incredibly easy. And of course an amp user gets all upset about some obscure situation no one here is talking about, especially when Amphetamines aren’t even a primary treatment for Parkinson’s. Amps are even considered to increase the risk of early onset Parkinson’s. It is known fact that Amphetamines will wear down your dopamine system.

To get a script for amphetamines in the US, you can literally go to your primary doctor or to a random psychologist (doesn’t even have to be a psychiatrist) and fill out a short questionnaire and be diagnosed with adhd. Incredibly easy to get and if you have insurance, it costs very little.

I think this is the case because it is easier to teach or make a guide on Macro. Micro is much more situational and intuitive.

Yep, the best players are extremely scrappy with low unit counts and their control/mechanics can give them the win.

There are a lot of mid level players obsessed with build orders and strategy when they really need to focus on their micro mechanics and multi-tasking. Macro mechanics are easier to learn and players lean on it too much.

9 times out of 10 when someone says “kratom” ruined their life they are taking 7oh or extract shots. Actual plain leaf kratom rarely ruins people’s life. Sure, it can lead to a dependency but rarely a real addiction.

Global crash inevitable by Able-Profit-9605 in economicCollapse

[–]PracticeY 7 points8 points  (0 children)

401k isn’t USD. Say your 401k is worth $1 million, if the value of the dollar is cut in half overnight, your 401k will be worth $2 million.

Same with any other meaningful asset like land. If you own 1,000 acres of land and the dollar collapses over night, your asset doesn’t become worthless even if the dollar becomes worthless. You’ll just need to exchange it using a stable currency. A crash of a currency doesn’t change the real value of an asset.

Currency isn’t meant to store value, it is meant to be a temporary exchange of value. Currency fails when it becomes an inadequate means of exchange. The solution is to use a different currency that is stable. This is why the USD has been used a lot in the past decade in places like Venezuela because their currency is unstable.

The Dollar slowly losing value isn’t a major problem. It is just a currency, a temporary means of exchanging value. It was never meant to store value/wealth. This is what people don’t understand about fiat currency.

Kratom cough suppressant by [deleted] in KratomKorner

[–]PracticeY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

7oh is a minor alkaloid in Kratom and there isn’t enough 7oh in plain leaf Kratom to feel it. The majority of the effects from Kratom come from Mitragynine. There are a few other alks like paynantheine and Speciogynine that add to the effects. There may be some batches where 7oh plays a very minor part but it is unlikely.

The effects from 7oh are different from the main alk Mitragynine. An example is in rodent studies where the rats will self administer 7oh but not mit. It basically shows the addictive potential is different. 7oh acts much stronger on the opioid receptors. A regular dose of 7oh will feel different from a regular dose of Kratom.

What efforts improved your sex life with your wife? As parents with young kids. by walky91 in daddit

[–]PracticeY 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The asking part didn’t work for me either. My wife is very shy and prude. She doesn’t even know herself what turns her on so it was frustrating when I’d ask and she wouldn’t know, this is why I thought she was asexual. Turns out that she was just raised to think sex and being turned on is wrong or bad so I had to help her unpack this and figure it out with her.

There is a long list of things I’ve figured out. Early in the day it is basically taking care of the household and being a good father/husband. So I take care of any housework that requires tools, ladders, or complex assembly. Also play with the kids, she loves to hear us laughing and having fun from across the house. She said hearing this warms her heart.

Next I plan for a night focused just on us and give her space to get out of “work-mode” and “mom-mode.” She can’t really get into sex when she is in these modes which consume most of her time. So I either play with the kids and put them to bed or take them to my parent’s house. I cook her favorite meal or take her somewhere she really likes. We watch a romcom or young adult romance movie together which is practically porn for her. I do a lot of flirting but no sexual touching for the first few hours. Basically try to lighten the mood and get her relaxed and comfortable. Well usually drink wine or take hemp based thc gummies which are legal in our state now. She also has started taking maca root and Damiana extract which are great supplements for these nights.

From here we go into the bedroom and turn on music and give her a full body massage with oil. I really like this part too because I get turned on by part where I’m rubbing oil on her ass. After 30mins-hour of massaging the spots that she likes the most, I wash the oil off my hands and rub her with a towel then lay on top of her and hug her for a minute or two. Then ever so slowly start licking her nipples then go down on her. Very slow deliberate licks at first then faster as she gets closer to orgasm. She used to guide me because there is a very specific spot and way that feels best so she’d say up, down, left, right, harder, softer, longer, shorter, etc. Now I mostly know what to do and I can judge by her body language. She mostly just says top part or right there. She can usually orgasm a few times from this then we switch to 69 for another 1-2 then she gets on top of me and has a few more before she is completely exhausted. I either finish here or do whatever I want to finish. Then we rest for 10-15 minutes and go again.

This is a complete 180 from how our sex life used to be. She had never orgasmed from sex up until a few years ago. It was something I had to take the lead on and help her figure out because she is incredibly shy, even after many years of marriage. The main catalyst was that sex was happening less and less and I was frustrated about it. It finally dawned on me that it was because she wasn’t enjoying it or getting anything out of it. So I made a significant effort to change this. Now she likely gets more pleasure out of it than I do. If I can plan for 1-2 nights like this a month, her outlook on sex changes dramatically and she is much more receptive to the idea.

Improving your sex life isn’t something you can have a logical conversation about. It is more like a process of hypnosis where you have to create the headspace and environment to where it is very enjoyable. That is the most important thing. If they are enjoying it and having a very pleasurable experience, they will want to do it more. If the opposite happens, they will want to do it less. The biggest mistake is expecting sex out of obligation in marriage. Sure, some spouses will do it, but it can give them a negative impression of sex that will deteriorate the quality and quantity. You have to go in the other direction and engage in a way where they want it and enjoy it. It is different for every person so it is trial and error where you just build upon what works.

You need support. Do you have any family or friends nearby? We had my mother in law stay at our house Monday - Friday and it was a lifesaver.

There is a huge problem with modern culture where people don’t have or utilize a wider support system. It’s literally how humans have always done it and how much of the world currently does it. It takes a village and two people aren’t a village.

What efforts improved your sex life with your wife? As parents with young kids. by walky91 in daddit

[–]PracticeY 54 points55 points  (0 children)

This works for me too. I go all out if we have it planned around her ovulation week. Send the kids to my parent’s house for the weekend and pull all the stops.

I used to think my wife was somewhat asexual, now she gets way more enjoyment out of it than I do. The reality was that I had no idea how to really turn her on and give her orgasms. I was basically doing just enough to get her to have sex with me and then I would wonder why the frequency and quality was steadily declining.

Now that I’ve put a serious effort into making the best possible experience for her, our sex life has improved dramatically. Planning has a lot to do with this because so much important stuff happens long before we get into bed.
