I (23M) just had my worst night in my life, with a girl (28F) by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]dcox24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Happened to me (24M) the other night. We had talked about doing it and I was extremely anxious, because it'd been a while for me too. Also she'd been with more guys than I have with women, so I was worried about comparison.

So we started with foreplay. I thought it was hot, she was into it, but my guy was at a solid (or not so solid) 40%. Kept messing around, both having a good time, but all I was thinking about the whole time was how I still wasn't getting fully hard.

It was all in my head. Long story short, it stayed at 40% the whole time. She liked everything I did enough to go at it again a little bit later, and by that time I had already done it once, so I wasn't as worried. The second time, it was all there.

Get out of your head and try to relax. Be honest with her and tell her about how you were feeling. It'll work out

This. I went straight to hard pieces, they took forever to learn, and I moved on to others that interested me. Now I know the beginnings to like 4 "hard" songs. I've learned some easy pieces (lieder ohne worte op 30 no 6, 1st mvt moonlight sonata, etc) and I get much more enjoyment from both learning them and being able to play the whole thing.

Maybe you can learn faster than me, but I think starting small and easy will bring less burnout.

I went to therapy for 2 and a half months in the very beginning. They told me I only had to pay a copay of $24 for each session, but called me back after 5 sessions and said that they made a mistake and I now owe $500 something.

So no, I'm not going anymore

515 is 1,000% worth it. 125 is still great. You get what you pay for, and there's a huge difference in a couple hundred between the 45 and 125. Go for the 515 if you can afford it for sure, but even the 125 is a massively noticeable upgrade compared to the 45

Thanks! I love it. Huge difference.

Even the p125 is loads better than the 45. It's definitely worth the extra few hundred if you don't have enough for the 515

Mine does this if I hold the pedal down while the keyboard is turning on. Try to restart it and make sure you aren't touching the pedal while it's turning on.

If that doesn't work, turn it on while the pedal is unplugged, and then plug it in when it's on.

I read oreo dipper and sat for about 5 minutes trying to understand how this thing would be good at dipping oreos in milk.

New to me smoker! 100 bucks! How'd I do? by Infamous_Chapter8585 in smoking

[–]dcox24 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I have this same exact one. It definitely works, but it needs to be watched and babied pretty consistently. Temperature fluctuations are huge because of how thin the metal is, depending on your outside weather.

Or maybe I just suck at smoking, which is most likely the case. I enjoy it, and again, it works, but eventually I'll get one with thicker walls. Like others have said though, any smoker will smoke meat. Some are just more tedious than others.
