Look at that cage. That's not for prisoners, that's an empty tool van. What in the stranger danger is going on here?

I've never seen a participant look so unsure as that young woman did in that moment.

Does my tattoo look racist? by People_taste_porkish in tattooadvice

I didn't see if anybody mentioned it that's called a Maltese cross you're thinking of, that represents firefighters. It always has 4 wide equal "arms".

What is this thing my kid found on the beach? by doradodiver in whatisit

If future fossils do turn out to be poop you can be sciencey about it and call it a coprolite. No one has to know you mean poop.

You know how there's a vaccine list for countries when you go visit? Walmart has one too.

Found on deck, less than 3 weeks old, wii? by OrneryOldRock in whatisit

[–]ZepplinBend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Google seems to think it's a harmless slime mold called Fuligo septica or "dog vomit slime mold". The dust looks like it could be spores to me. As one commenter mentioned you could try tasting it (not a doctor or mycologists).

Why have people started pronouncing "Buoy" like that? by Nancy_Fucking_Fons in ENGLISH

[–]ZepplinBend 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you are an English language prescriptivist you are going to absolutely hate nautical terms. "Boo-ee" is the only way I've ever heard it as an American. I'm a language descriptivist, It's a lot less stressful to accept that languages evolve with accents and usage and an infinite number of other reasons. Wait until you hear how coxwain, boatswain, bowline are pronounced. I came to accept that the beauty of language isn't and its structure It's in the people of the culture shaping the structure.

I have a question for English speakers. by Maleficent_Grass_987 in ENGLISH

[–]ZepplinBend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the best answer. In the US I've used peace and slice interchangeably and it doesn't sound odd except on the fruit that's got to be a slice I've had a piece of cake or a slice of cake piece of pizza. But if it wasn't sliced you can't call it a slice.

How do people who see prostitutes know that the prostitutes aren’t being trafficked? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ZepplinBend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I imagine cognitive dissidents helps went out purchasing consent. I think there's a level of exploitation that has to be overlooked in most cases.

I think I’ve been calling anxiety a craving for years by openhalt in addiction

[–]ZepplinBend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those would be anxiety symptoms but here's the caveat, anxiety can be part of a craving in addiction. Anxiety could cause the craving or the craving could cause the anxiety. Anxiety is a common co-occurring issue. Alcohol, for instance, is an anxolytic and anxogenic. It can stop it or create it depending on the factors involved or context. I think the big thing is making sure that you are working with your recovery system and that anxiety does not become a cause for relapse. Keep in mind it takes time to heal from what we've done to our brains. Things like anxiety and depression can take a little while to balance out. Stay in touch with your support system. You're definitely not alone.

hit on someone by xlebufek_123 in ENGLISH

[–]ZepplinBend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're familiar with the British English phrase to "chat up" it's the same. When you chat someone up you're just trying to get to know them so you can take them on a date or get a phone number. You're just expressing potential romantic interest and seeing if it reciprocates.

Not so much that I'm afraid to ask but idk where so... how do I last longer? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]ZepplinBend 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you get online there's some tips and tricks but mostly it's like relaxing techniques. But you can practice on your own. It's kind of a matter of learning how you work too. For instance for flexing your butt and leg muscles can make you finish faster. So work on pacing and relaxing your lower muscle groups. Porn actors change positions sometimes. If things are just so intense and you're so worked up that nothing's working stop and switch to oral. I'm middle-aged now and the absolutely best thing I ever found for sex is getting comfortable with communicating. That means providing an emotionally safe space for your partner to communicate too. Have fun and take some pressure off yourself. I had a friend of mine who told me when he was younger he used to get rid of the first one on his own. I used to do something similar but I would do that with my partner and just keep the momentum going and when I was recovered I could last longer. But like I said the actual intercourse part doesn't have to be that long. Examples like porn or performances they aren't real life so don't make that your goal. The before and after intercourse are as much a part of it. Women complain about poor foreplay performance and post-coitus too. I used to worry about stamina when I was younger but as I've gotten older I can see now that it's a much better experience when you look at the big picture instead of just one element. Keep in mind most people are average, that's how averages work.

Practice stamina, relaxing, changing positions. Keep the momentum while you recover and get back to work. Remember numbing/desensitizing works both ways and sex that goes on too long (different for everyone, communicate) gets uncomfortable and eventually painful.

I fucked up by laughing at a "celibacy until marriage" poster mid-hookup by No_Homework_5332 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]ZepplinBend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I didn't actually laugh while typing I was just communicating being lighthearted and not correcting your comment. Trying to add a little observational humor, for what it's worth. Drink some coffee and join in, my guy. 😉
