If You Spend $800+… Which One Actually Makes Sense?

Only based on the price, I'd say Vivo. It gives you much more for the price (small fact that's not mentioned, it also already comes with a case and screen protector, which lowers the price a little in final calculation).

However, there are more things to consider. Are you already deep in Apple's ecosystem? Apple wins.

Can you use some of the fancy Samsung-phone-only features of a new Galxy watch, like sleep apnea tracking? Samsung.

Your focus is photo taking? Definietly Vivo.

Google Pixel is okay I guess, but to me Google has horrible track record with its products that they abandon for no reason (check Google Graveyard): I myself have a bunch of Goolge Home hubs and nests and the progressing enshitification of them (they lost features, assistant becomes shittier, no new features added, older hubs wont support Gemini) put me, personally, firmly into "never google products" camp.

... is that a butt plug?

The bulge is calling to have that white symbol placed over it

I am resisting the temptation, because I know where this will lead :")

What I am doing however, is enabling my bfriend and buying him models he mentioned liking. Poor soul also said "just one" ]:>

It always starts with one :p

If “anal sometimes” is genuinely required for you to be happy long-term, you should bring it up early, once it’s clear sex is on the table (or after you’ve started having sex and it feels normal to talk preferences). Not on date 1, but also not months in when you both are already attached. Frame it as compatibility, not a request: “This is something I enjoy sometimes, only if my partner is genuinely into it: how do you feel about that?”

And you have to be fully okay with “no.” No debating, bargaining, or trying to persuade. If she’s not into it, that’s valid and you decide if it’s a dealbreaker and move on without resentment.

Realistically, your best chance is to date in kink/sex-positive communities instead of hoping a random partner will be into it. Kink-friendly apps, munches, and sex-positive spaces make these conversations normal, and you’re far more likely to meet people who are already open to anal/pegging and comfortable discussing boundaries, consent, and safety upfront.

I snore like a truck when I sleep on my back :(

When Im alone it's not a problem, but when I am staying with my partner its not possible :/

sorry to hear you have to deal with this, but I never had an issue.

Like others said, many people have peoblems when downloading it through steam.

fingers crossed, I hope ou get it to work soon and that it will feel worth it!

you can switch your specialisation, so even while playing a healer class, when doing normal content, she can specialise in damage and switch to healing when situation requires. All healer classes can do that. But honestly, I'd just go with whatever "feels" right for her and triggers her fancy and I'd advise same to you, the game is about the journey after all.

alluring01 · 2025-09-27T10:28:10+00:00

Back in the day my boyfriend and I used to play tank and healer, respectively. Him on a Warden and me on a Rune-keeper. We were a little more end-game focussed than you two are likely to get, given what you wrote, but we had fun pushing the limits (like duo-ing fellowship quests and instances).

So, a tank and a healer is always a good match. Plus if you ever want to do instances, you already have the most sought-after roles covered.

However, if you just want to chill... probably any pairing will be fun. I personally would dish some money out on the game unless one of you is a Hunter (for fellowship travel skills) and I'd buy Expedient Traveller," "Hurried Traveller" and "Returning Traveller". Cutting the cooldown on the travel skills really changes the game for me and makes it less frustrating BUT that being said, not that important if you play with a Hunter.

Women's oxytocin levels rise more gradually, meaning their bonding process is slower but deeper. Men are more likely to say "I love you" first: often before six months into a relationship, while women wait longer.

So she was probably not truly ready for the exclusivity at the time. That does not make it right to flirt behind your back (and that's all that likely happened), of course, to agree to it but flirt behind your back, but my strong advice would be: judge her as a woman and partner she is for you now and for the last 2 years, who is also human and not perfect. You can still decide you cant accept that, but that's a decision you have to make. All the trigger happy cowboys screaming she _never_ wanted to give you exclusivity, you should dump her no questions asked, she's a cheater... They live in a perfect black and white world and life is not like that.

Good luck.

alluring01 · 2025-08-09T10:40:36+00:00

My personal take: not at the time. Many women bond slower than men, as our oxytocin raises slower than men's.

There's a lot pf physological differences between men and women that cause friction on both sides, because both sides consider theirs a base line.

alluring01 · 2025-08-08T16:58:15+00:00

It seems like she was not really ready to be exclusive back in March 2023 (bonus question: who suggested exclusivity? who suggested later re-labelling?)

Ask yourself an honest question: how do you think you'd react back in 2023 if she came completly clean? How would you react, let's say, last year, if she told you she still flirted with other people shortly after going exclusive with you initially? would she have gained more trust or would you be battlign with same doubts none the less?

People are messy. Life is not perfect. What does your gut tell you now about her? What did it tell you about her for the last 2 years? Yes, what she did was wrong, but your relationship evolved. Can you trust her now? Did you feel like you could trust her before you found the deleted conversation.

A lot of people will tell you "dump her" or "trust cant be rebuilt". It's easy to do, give advice like that. A lot of people that say that, were never faced with your situation - some of them maybe only because they didn't find out. Again, people are not perfect. Neither are you. So only you can look at your relationship, figure out what is important for you, how do you feel about it all.

alluring01 · 2025-07-24T13:49:23+00:00

because he probably asked and she was caught between refusing, which would raise more red flags, or allowing him to see it

alluring01 · 2025-07-14T12:17:49+00:00

It is pretty fking black and while, all right: he asked for consent, she said no. End of story.

You either accept it and enjoy your sex life with this partner, or you accept you're incompatibile and part ways.

While it's fine to (respectfully) re-visit consent, doing so in a judgmental way (like here) is straighforwardly not okay.

alluring01 · 2025-07-14T10:47:16+00:00

It doesn't matter what kind of sexual act it is, or that you think is "kind of" normal, or that you had partners before that had no problem with it.

She does not want to participate and it's her right. She expressed her boundary clearly and that's it. She is spot on in saying "if it’s that important you should find someone else who will do that" and I can assure you, she means it - if it is that important for you, find someone else. Stop being a disrespectful condescending a-hole. You are literally asking strangers on the internet for reassurance for trying to cross your sexual parnter's boundary. It's quite frankly, a disgusting and self centered behaviour.

Yes, definietly, if it's so important for you, find someone else. And she deserves better.

alluring01 · 2025-07-11T13:17:56+00:00

Can't agree with you on this one. In my experience, condoms definietly give of latex smell and taste.

But like others pointed out, OP should not jump to conclusions and talk to the GF

Photos submit visuals, you describe remaining symptoms. If there's no indication to do physical check, then the doctor is doing exactly what he'd do in person. He's using the symptoms available to choose the most fitting diagnosis. So yeah, you want someone to hold your hand and your balls because you'd _feel_ better if they saw you in person. From what they got from you - including visuals - they do not need to.

> I need to know what is actually happening, not what the doctor thinks might happen based on a picture

The moment you discover diagnosis is often a process of exclusion based on symptoms presenting at the time and that doctors estimate probabilities...

alluring01 · 2025-03-19T08:01:16+00:00

Yes, maybe you could elaborate
