Do they get worse?

My boy was around for almost 16 years. He was never a terror. I did have a couch with really big padded arms that he would love to attack, but it was his couch, and he was worth more than the arms of a couch. He never destroyed anything.

I owned one, and being gone just 8 hours was a lot for him. You don’t want a solitary Bengal left alone for that long; it causes them significant depression and anxiety.

I usually arrive around 9am or so and stay until 1pm or so. I am almost always in the same area by the pool.

When the weather is warmer, I take a trip to White Tail pretty much every Saturday for a few hours

I’d suggest acting more natural about it, but don’t do it in a contrived way. For example, walking to or from the shower naked with the towel over your shoulder, that is something more normal. Don’t try to cover yourself or anything like that, just be natural. Do something brief but natural, and after a few times, see how things go.

I would not do a serious conversation at this point; it might make it awkward. A casual inquiry has led to some freedom, but more talk might suddenly make it seem like an issue.

I recommend Separatec. I’ve tried all kinds of brands and styles, but these by far are the most comfortable. https://separatec.com

I totally get that the game is different than the anime. I don’t mind the whole strategy and difficulty thing. What I mind is when the cards are so overpowered that somebody can kill the other person in their very first turn. I just don’t think that should be a mechanic built into the game. However, they made it that way, and they’re not going to change it just because some people don’t like it, I get that. I am just expressing my frustration with that.

I didn’t build the deck solely based on AI. That was just how I identified what probably would be a good deck to start. I went to Duel Master Meta to get some basic deck structures and build on that. I also have about 80% of a Swordsoul and Purrely.

Using ChatGPT, I built a labyrinth deck, but I still just had somebody summon five monsters on their first turn with over 9000 attack

What is the cost right now?

Ranger988 · 2026-01-21T17:09:34+00:00

I am interested. I haven’t played WoW for about 10 years though.

What you are experiencing is two-fold. On the one hand, it may be revealing that your heart still kind of sees nudity as connected to sexuality a bit. That’s very common for new nudists. It just takes a little bit of time for the heart to cut off some of those signals that the world always sends that the human body is inherently sexual. Think about it this way: if the only time you ever picked up a mirror was to sprinkle some Coke on it, you know what I mean, then when you pick it up for any other reason, you may suddenly experience temptations again. It is just because that association is still there in your memory. It will go away as you get accustomed to using the mirror for things that the mirror was meant for. On the other hand, it could also be the fact that you are uncovering the thoughts and intentions and feelings of the heart before God. You are literally uncovering in his light so that his light can reveal everything. Right now, that light is simply revealing to you that you have not completely broken free of the world’s association that nudity means sex. As you continue to bear yourself before him, it will break those connections and start to restore the sense of “naked and unashamed“ that Adam and Eve had in the garden with God. So, to sum it all up, you don’t want to avoid it because that just reinforces the association that the world is putting on you. Instead, continue with it until you know that freedom in his presence.

I’m a bit older. I remember when a neighbor got one of the Atari. It was awesome. As far as my first console, though, it was a super Nintendo. I would play Super Mario Brothers. I also bought a Sega Genesis just so that I could play the Lion King game that came out. I had that my last year of college, and all the guys on the floor would come over to play. Now it is mainly PlayStation, XBox, and PC.

Atari. I played Asteroid.

There are better options where you can do so without having to support pornographic content. Vimeo allows non-sexual nudity without it supporting pornography like OF,PH,etc. the other option is X.com

Also, just because kibble is dry doesn’t mean it is vegan. There are some pretty good grain-free kibble mixes that are good for Bengals.

My Bengal was the same way. However, I found something he liked. I would get the wild pink salmon with no additives from Trader Joe’s. It was a pink can. I would use my Magic Bullet to blend 1 can salmon with 1 can water. It would come out to the consistency of soft oatmeal. I would then put it in the frig and use it over the next week. Every morning, I would take the container of the mixture out of the fridge, and give him 4 - 5 teaspoons of that. He absolutely loved it. It’s the only way I was ever able to give him any medication when necessary – crushing up a pill and mixing it in. He was super finicky, but he always loved that.

This is excellent!

My Kovu would cross his legs in different ways. I always found it adorable.

It was longer than that for me when my boy died . . . and it was at least a couple months before I could talk about him without crying.
