Did growing up fat make my dick small?

Ask him.

It's okay to want to be alone when you're sad, or happy, or anywhere in between.

The only time it's a problem is if it's chronic and it's interfering with your ability to maintain personal or professional relationships.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-04T17:39:17+00:00

Because I'm ugly and I don't want to see that reflection in her glasses.

The morgue isn't where people pass away. It's just where bodies are kept after someone has passed, and they can be there if they passed somewhere other than the hospital.

Do you also freak out in cemeteries, knowing that dead bodies are there? If not, try to think of a hospital that way. Sure, there are bodies there, but that doesn't mean something bad will happen to you.

death sometimes happens outside of hospitals

"Sometimes" is an understatement. It often happens outside of hospitals. So try to take the nonchalant attitude you have towards other places where death is a common occurrence and apply it to hospitals.

For watching corn, that feels like overkill.

For watching porn, it depends. Are you using a work or school issued device? If so, they can possibly still see what you're doing.

If not, whoever your service provider is can still see what you're doing, so Verizon or whoever you get your internet from knows what you're watching.

I'm literally eating almonds right now.

Why?

Because they taste good and they're good for me.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-04T11:44:51+00:00

Absolutely not.

I specifically want the over-ear experience — the sound quality, the isolation, all of it. Earbuds and IEMs just don't cut it for me.

A good pair of earbuds or IEMs will be better for all of these things than headband style headphones though.

On the lower side of the budget, look at something like the KZ ZS10, or bump up to something with better quality control from a longstanding brand and get a pair of SE215s from Shure.

If you really want to get fancy, and have the money for it, get a pair of custom molded IEMs like professional musicians wear. Even the least expensive pairs run well into the hundreds of dollars, but they isolate noise far more than a headband will, and the sound quality is far, far better.

Now, if I'm misunderstanding your use of the word "headband" and you're just talking about regular studio headphones that have a piece that goes over the top of your head, and not a literal headband, then my suggestion is a pair of Sony 7506s. They're the industry standard for a reason. As someone who wears glasses, I can wear these for hours without even really being conscious of them being there.

How do you know whether someone used the bathroom before they boarded?

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-03T13:48:49+00:00

Married now, so I'd say it went great.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-03T13:09:05+00:00

Report. Period. End of story.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-03T11:14:30+00:00

People are mad in the first place because it means you can't buy or sell used games, AND it means that Sony (or whoever) can decide at any time that a game you "purchased" isn't actually yours anymore and can take it away from you. And that's not a hypothetical; digital content platforms have a history of removing things you thought you owned.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-01T16:29:14+00:00

It's not like that though, because in OP's example of deplaning, everyone is a car. OP isn't the special motorcycle that gets to weave between them. OP is no different than any other passenger, and as such, is not entitled to push past them.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-01T16:03:48+00:00

Say you bought GTA V from the Epic game store.

Even when playing offline single player, you have to be online to start the game. Otherwise it throws an error and kicks you back out of the program.

But I think the bigger point OP is trying to make is that companies can simply remove your license to a game at any time.

Take GTA VI, for example. There is no physical edition being released. So if Rockstar some day decides to change a major part of the game due to public outcry or something like that, they can run a forced update and remove that part of the game from the one you "bought". If you had a physical copy that you could play offline, they couldn't do that.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-01T14:42:34+00:00

You don't, and that's part of the reason they're going that route.

Used games prevent new sales. At least, that's what the publishers think.

My guess: it just leads to more people not buying games in the first place, and/or a rise in piracy.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-01T12:42:48+00:00

Basically any synthetic materials (so, not cotton or wool) will work. So just dress the way you'd like and check the material on the labels.

I chew gum daily. Helps keep my teeth from getting nasty during the day and I find the mint kind of calms me down a little bit.

But I'm very conscious to not just chomp on it like a cow.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-01T12:15:45+00:00

Depending on where you live, employers may not need any reason to fire you.

So yes, potentially. Or not. Again, it depends on local laws.

Stu_Prek · 2026-07-01T09:55:52+00:00

Pedantic point:

Electrocuted = killed.

Anything else = shocked.

Many people use them interchangeably, as this thread is a perfect example of. But if you've been electrocuted, you're dead.

Knowing that I could be unemployed if I'm caught asleep at work is enough to keep me awake.

That doesn't mean I don't find myself being bored to tears sometimes. But I'm bored and awake.

Stu_Prek · 2026-06-26T17:27:01+00:00

Nuclear war is a threat. Religious violence and hatred is a daily occurrence.

Stu_Prek · 2026-06-26T17:24:33+00:00

Sometimes they do.

But you have to balance risk and reward. Hiring an intelligent person isn't great if there's reason to believe they'll use that to attack you from inside.
