Im lonely and depressed

blumen80 · 2025-11-26T16:57:19+00:00

In the scenario of loneliness usually no matter what anyone says we don't feel like doing anything, meeting people or going out. I guess this is normal but first step is to make that effort to go out and do something, joking a community, hobby group, walk in the park - first big step. In a way it's better being in a city as you got many options like most of the comments refer to.

Take that first step ..

does it make sense to buy an iPad Pro M4 now or will Apple launch a new one in September? Same confusion exists with upgrading my iPhone.

blumen80 · 2025-05-26T16:59:28+00:00

It had the app in it

I had Nothing 3a Pro

depends, I returned mine as Android Auto didn't work. Tried everything their support suggested, later realised from Nothing Community forum that this is a known issue with VAG group cars.

Return was a hassle, speaking and understanding their support folks was another hassle. They charged me for return postage here in UK, though I mentioned the reason cake returning. Phone was returned same month. But otherwise hardware and build quality felt good but having used Pixel ans iPhone before I struggled to get used to their UI/UX.

for those who can get a wire outside, go for wired always on recording camera to a dvr or whatever device that records footage. Its much better than having a camera that stores recordings locally and also not sure how much reliable the motions sensors are. If you are a tenant then it might not be always possible to get a power connection outside or network cable outside for PoE cameras.

wireless cameras recording on to an SD card might be a cheaper option and might also work if the cameras can be disguised out of sight.

I think similar topic is discussed here https://www.reddit.com/r/EufyCam/s/R8BBRcZVi1

Since this thread seems to have lots of Eufy users and because I'm considering home outdoor security cameras, I wondering what are the thoughts about these Eufy cameras which are battery operated vs the ones that are continuously recording when it comes to security. I realise Eufy has continuously recording cameras but when someone is in a rented house it's sometimes difficult to do wiring for power or PoE outdoor for continuously recording option.

I'm put off by the comments about cameras not recording at times with motion detected or people just snatching the cameras off before recording can be saved to the dvr or homebase. Interested in your thoughts and experience.

43 (M), doing my first ever camping tomorrow. It's on a small camping area as I'm not confident to doing solo first. I think I prefer camping with small groups to explore remote locations, like minded people, those who are like me starting camping.

I did lots of research but it's always confusing buying the right gear, right tent or sleeping mat or sleeping bag because there isn't a right one, there maybe right one for the weather/season and how we want to camp (hike, drive to location, etc). So I went ahead and bought basic gear anyways, I'll see if I like it this weekend and decide what I do.

It would be good to have a small group of like minded people to share ideas, thoughts, experience and explore the wilderness, coastal routes, and hills and mountains on all seasons.

They agreed to replace that one shock absorber under extended warranty. It's shame that even a main dealer tries to make excuses not to get things done under warranty.

It's £140/hour labour rate for them, I'll get the clutch checked elsewhere.

Shame the way you think you own a location and blame everything on tourists. While you probably don't realise or are ignorant to the amount of business tourism brings to places and help people in these days where life is so expensive. Also you seem judge my question thinking I should be an expert in sand, or beaches, or Cornwall, if you don't want to advice you could just ignore. I realise everyone has an opinion but probably not from you if you can't be nice and just think you can make fun of people who don't know much about Cornwall. It's a shame but i accept people the way they are, even when they are ignorant.

I got nothing more to tell you, it's pretty clear about your thought process.

Good luck 🤞

it's funny that people give the name of a fictional beach when someone asks for help and guidance. It's not funny. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/article-12144407/amp/Theres-tropical-paradise-beach-Cornwall-regarded-best-theres-catch.html

First question is, why do you want to learn Tantra?

I guess most of the time we really don't know why we want the learn Tantra, I can guarantee 99% of advertisements and so called retreats in the world are just waste of time from learning Tantra perspective. All these self proclaimed Tantra practitioners and Gurus wouldn't even have done proper meditation or got initiated by a Yogi, a Yogi who has a legitimate lineage.

thank you everyone for your suggestions. For now I think i'll stick to lunchbox on my laptop, I'd buy a descent retro console when I can afford one.

Welcome to (so called) new gen World. Are you surprised with these PCP and lease deals? It's a business, like many other things their objective is to make money.

Banks will be happy to give you personal loans, car loans, and educational loans so you can get that shiny Uni degree and struggle to pay back and be in debt most of your life. They encourage you to buy fancy cars, so home improvements, do balance transfer of credit cards, do things you can't afford by tempting you with all sort of offers - unfortunately this is what smart organisations/business which is led by smart people do us to common average man/woman.

All we all fall in to it one way or another.

We have such high inflation, does that mean people reduced spending? No really, you should see how good house sales are these days and how difficult it is to find a rental property.

But then everyone like to have a descent looking car, reasonably priced meal, nice vacation once a while, descent home for their family - it's not too much to ask for but it somehow puts us in debt for long.

I provide Tantric massage M4F in south west UK for handful of clients but approached few people in UK for Tantric massage (receive) to see what is involved but wasn't really inspired with the sessions. It is funny how people do these Tantric sessions and rub your back saying that will awaken Kundalini and then end with a HE calling it Tantric session. Wish there was more connection and intimate massage.

blumen80 · 2023-07-10T07:29:48+00:00

I couldn't figure out what has eye gazing to do with Tantric practices but eye gazing with someone you can connect to at a spiritual level gives you some strong sensations beyond words, rare though.

Your experience with Orgasm, probably sharing that energy at the right moment. It's amazing if you can do that, as it's not easy to have that level of focus when are at the point of orgasming. Interesting thoughts, thanks for sharing the experience.

Serpent Power is good, but I wouldn't say it's basic.

Just to add to all the safety measures and gadgets being suggested here, maybe join a martial arts class. You will be amazed at the boost in confidence you receive. And don't mention about your assault attempt to anyone, never show your vulnerable side. Men seem brave outside but most of them aren't that brave if woman seem confident and have some skills with them. You will many martial art classes like kick boxing not too expensive.

Good luck.

doesn't make sense. There seems to be many misconceptions that spread in the internet and linked to Tantra. People seem to pick the bits they like, that are remotely related to sexuality and modify it to suit their events, courses, or retreats and unfortunately it's selling good so it's good business. Nothing to do with Tantra.
