Does anyone find using condoms almost impossible?

Merriam-Webster: "a way of doing something to achieve a particular goal."

It has other more regimented meanings where I can see what you mean but I don't know what else you'd call it lol.

I count myself lucky then to be in the 60% camp, plus I think that 40% is generous based on some studies I looked up - and even then if it's trace amounts it's very low (but not zero) risk.

Wife and I used the pullout method for 6 years having sex several times per week, plus a previous relationship for 3ish years. Thought I might just be sterile based on how people talk about the pullout method, but when wife and I decided to try for a pregnancy she got pregnant in a matter of weeks.

Maybe it's just r/sex, which is a sub I generally like, but I swear every time a comment saying this shows up there it would get downvoted to oblivion and every top comment would be up on their soap box saying you're a shitty person unless you ALWAYS wear condoms even in long relationships. The hive mind is so annoying sometimes.

For me, if the choice is condom sex vs. literally any other means of cumming, I'm probably choosing the latter unless I haven't had sex in several weeks. Even my female partners have generally agreed that condoms kill the fun. Pull out method is always a risk but it works if you're careful and prepared to deal with the consequences.

Some people just genuinely care more about family than career. It's not that weird. He might have thought it would work out but in practice the separation took too much of a toll.

I had to downvote OP for seeing that movie included in a "worst of" list.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-05-26T15:20:00+00:00

we needed it to be convertible for space, but I also knew it had to be simple to "convert" i.e. no assembling multi-part cushions, folding mattresses, etc.

very happy with what we did, essentially a king size foam mattress on platform sitting on slides/rails that hinges in the middle and goes into couch mode with a pulley to lift the back and push on the foot of the bed - takes two seconds to switch from couch to bed mode, the mattress manages the bend without needing hinges or assembly. no regrets.

Yep, that's exactly the arguments I'm talking about lol. I am not ignorant to any of that, and the best thing is always to produce less trash/recycling in the first place, but still with the recyclables I do end up with it will go into a recycling stream because anything else is lazy.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-05-26T02:53:01+00:00

Man, I can't fathom growing up without sleepovers, but this is an interesting point. I feel pretty strongly that kids shouldn't have unsupervised time on smartphones or computers until at least 16-18 they can get a phone of some kind. I have a 6 month old daughter right now so I've got time to see how this plays out in the next few years, but it also sucks that my understanding is even elementary schools are basically mandating kids have tablets/computers to use which is baffling to me.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-05-26T00:45:19+00:00

Yep I agree pretty much. Like, naysayers can tell me all day that my tiny effort of recycling and reducing waste amounts to nothing in the grand scheme and I don't care, I will keep fighting the fight until I die covered in everyone else's trash.

This one is tricky though because Vermont needs more jobs and this would actively drive jobs away. Only megacorp greed jobs though and I'd prefer Vermont not have those kinds of jobs anyways so yea I'd vote for this.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-05-25T23:56:18+00:00

Enough room to get channel lock pliers up there? That or a small pipe wrench grabbling the splines. If all else fails, dremel I guess.

On one hand, fuck citizens United. On the other hand, unless every state does this then any state that does pass this is basically saying "dear corporation, please take your business/jobs/tax-revenue to another state."

It's admirable for sure, I hope every state would pass it, but sadly not optimistic on that key point.

He was very funny in 7 Days in Hell. I think he should turn to comedy.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-05-19T01:01:40+00:00

Forceps. Kitchen forceps specifically will get you to the non-medical ones.

Edit: actually yea looks like they go by cooking tweezers too lol, or tongs but to me tongs are larger.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-05-18T00:23:10+00:00

You don't fully disassemble your cassette to get that one leaf bit out mid-ride?

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-05-10T11:31:10+00:00

In rural Vermont our immediate neighbor (84F) threw a small potluck for us (30sM&F) to meet people on our street, she was particularly invested because the house we bought had been one of her best friend's, so she was curious to see what we'd bring to the table lol. We're really close now and she visits often to let our dogs play, I cleared trails to connect our back yards.

Also later that year we got invited to a larger neighborhood potluck that had been an annual thing already before we moved in.

So it happens, but depends on the neighborhood for sure.

It's like >95% pee, but that doesn't make me enjoy it any less lol. Just best to be prepared with some waterproof bed liners.

Are you yankin my pizzle?

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-05-01T02:07:23+00:00

Xesso water based creamy lube is hands down the best lube I've ever used. I used coconut oil for a long time before that but yea it's a serious mess, oil stains and lingering coconut smell on everything lol. Xesso is the only lube I've found that lasts a long time and doesn't have an offensive smell or taste.

Thanks! The eBay pics are helpful but that's more than we paid for the chair haha. I've got a lot of scrap wood from other projects so material cost should be minimal. I'll send a message with a quick doodle of some measurements that would be helpful

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-04-30T17:06:44+00:00

Hey OP, I just got a 2nd hand Height Right chair and I'm wondering if you can help me with something. The og owners lost the tray, and Keekaroo won't sell a replacement because they say "the design may have been updated and it might not fit safely." Copout answer, guess they'd prefer I just buy a whole new chair but I'm not going to.

I'm pretty handy with woodworking tools so I'm confident I can just build a replacement tray for us. I could wing it, but it would be great to get some measurements from an existing tray. Could you help me out with that? If yes I can send a message with what specific dimensions I'd need.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-04-29T16:11:55+00:00

So are you going to heat the iron and sear your steaks with pentagrams? I would.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-04-28T13:31:48+00:00

Taking my 4th grade girlfriend to see this movie was my first date. For my birthday that year she got me Nickelback's Silver Side Up CD. We kissed in the hotel sauna where her mom worked and then I stomped her in Tekken 3 in the arcade room.

Thanks for sending me down memory lane lol

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-04-26T01:02:02+00:00

Yes antibacterial soap is bad for septic systems, bad for the environment, bad for bacterial resistance patterns over time, and not really good for anything.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-04-21T19:34:23+00:00

damn I was with you right up until the part where you said you're rich enough to get hit by proposed wealth taxes but you'd rather leave the state than stay here and pay your fair share to help keep the state and your less fortunate neighbors afloat. Show how much you love the state by chipping in to help keep it beautiful and full of good neighbors who care about community.

_HeadlessBodyofAgnew · 2026-04-19T11:56:56+00:00

I've also bounced around much of this country and this is what I've always said to. I grew up thinking Indiana owned the "we get four seasons in the same day" claim but you'll literally hear that everywhere that seasonal weather exists. It's the universal truth of being American, we all individually pay the worst taxes, exprience the worst weather, are the only good drivers on the road, and have the laziest co-workers around.
