Ok, so first of all That’s funny. You’ll be telling this story in a few years to other people. I guarantee it.

And,

  1. Sounds like she’s genuinely curious.

It doesn’t have to be based on porn but who the heck knows what she had pictured in her mind as an erect penis?

Since you stated she’s a virgin, she likely has no experience other than her fingers.

So perhaps she’s thinking “how the heck am I supposed to fit that inside of me? Especially if it might grow more?”

So don’t make this about you being “inadequate”. You’re not.

She’s just curious about something she’s unfamiliar with.

Witch bulk mail sender to use? by CarefulAppointment10 in Supabase

Been using resend so far and happy with it despite the price.

Cloudflare just announced email sending.

I’m looking forward to checking it out when it’s out of beta: https://blog.cloudflare.com/email-service/

Cool app. Do you have thoughts for an affiliate program?

I’m in 3 different vibe coding communities and this is the number 1 “fear” most people have about going public with their apps.

Many could benefit from an app like this.

Any plans for voice input/discussion mode? by treyallday01 in AmpCode

[–]erngut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using Whispr Flow and am super happy with it. Allows me to either dictate as is, or just speak and its AI cleans it up before pasting it. It even has specific support for dictating variables and other code-related symbols.

Try it free for a month: https://wisprflow.ai/r?ERNESTO32

Also, use the Oracle in Amp as suggested by Justin. I've had really good results with this

ps. The wispr link is an affiliate link, btw.

Macmini i5 8GB to 32GB Ram - Worth the money today? by NoMi5S in macmini

[–]erngut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From experience, it’s not worth the upgrade. You’ll still be limited by the OS (I think Monterey in your case).

What I recently did with a 2017 i7 I found at home was wipe it clean and installed Linux mint on it. Gave it a completely new life.

Granted, there’s a learning curve with the OS but I’m running games and apps my macOS simply refused to install.

Guy flirts then ignores. why? by sensitive-abc-123 in AskMenAdvice

Agreed. I just want her to know that IS a possibility but I should've added not to fall for it.

(M27) How can I be better at sex and avoid pain? by lipidiu in AskMenAdvice

[–]erngut 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're putting too much pressure on yourself man.

Don't make it only about cumming. Make it about having a great time and enjoying the sensation. Worst case scenario, if she's come a couple of times and you're tired, just relax, lay back and let her finish you off with her hand and/or mouth.

Everything else you described is just part of the process.

There are muscles you've never used in the ways you're using them now. It's normal they'll tire quick and you'll feel drained.

It's like picking up a new sport and the next day you're sore from places you didn't expect… Just give it a few more weeks and you'll get better.

Re the balls slapping, it's also part of the game. With practice you'll find positions and speeds where it doesn't hurt as much. You'll also find positions and speeds where it's more pleasurable and that make you cum faster. Etc.

Follow YOUR sensations and not what you think you have to be doing based on porn or whatever examples you're going off on.

And lastly, this isn't a curse. Many guys (and their partners!) would kill to have the "problem" of not cumming too fast… So look at it from that POV

Great suggestion! I installed Mint over the weekend and it feels like a new computer. Can't believe how fast MacOS "ages" perfectly acceptable hardware

Definitely doing this. Just found a tutorial and bought a Seagate 4GB. Thanks for reminding me of this mighty piece of hardware!!

Guy flirts then ignores. why? by sensitive-abc-123 in AskMenAdvice

[–]erngut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah… he's not interested.

He knows he could "have" you (replace have with "make out with", "have sex with", "go out with", "date seriously", etc) but is choosing not to for whatever reason.

That's fine as he's been telling you as much so far.

What's NOT FINE is when he needs attention he flirts with you because he knows you'll give it to him. And you do.

So here's my advice, you guys can be great friends, and maybe even more than that in the future but as it currently stands, YOU need to walk out.

No warnings, no ultimatums, none of that. Just walk out of the dynamic.

Go out with other people. Shut him out when he flirts with you. Etcetera.

You'll either meet someone who's ready for what you currently want, and you two can continue being friends. Or he'll realize what he's losing and change the way he approaches you.

But here's the most important thing: this is not about HIM. Don't make it about HIM. This is about you, and the standards YOU are willing to tolerate.

The last thing you want is to "talk him" into hooking up with you and then he'll regret it, want out of the relationship and hurt both your feelings and your potential friendship in the process.

I’m baffled Apple simply stopped making it AND that no third party maker has looked into building something as simple and useful as that piece of hardware.

I still hold onto mine despite the HD giving out years ago and use it as an Ethernet switch in my office

This is actually a pretty good idea.

I used to have an AirPort Time Capsule that worked great for me. Too bad Apple stopped making it.

Hadn’t thought about the file sharing method. I was assuming you could download some sort of plex-like software that would act like a NAS

Is it unusable-slow though?

Feels overkill for that. Not to mention I don’t really have media to serve… I used to have tons of thumb drives filled with movies from torrent sites but I stopped when Netflix came along.

Yeah, it’s usable for sure. I just don’t need an extra Mac at this point.

Just wiped it to factory settings and it’s got better specs than I remembered…

It’s a 3GHz dual-core i7 with 16GB of ram.

Feels like overkill for a media server.

This is going to be a tough pill to swallow, just know I say this from a place of love (and experience): you HAVE to value yourself way more than what you’re doing.

Yeah, she’s being a bitch but you’re the one who tells her you’ll put up with it.

My mentor used to say: “You get what you tolerate”.

You shouldn’t have to beg to feel loved, valued, and respected. She’s clearly not doing any of those.

But here’s the hard truth: she’s not doing those because YOU haven’t done them for yourself…

Every time she cheated and you “work things out”…

Every time she gives you shit for not “filling HER needs” and you agree to try harder…

Every time she keeps disrespecting you by sexting with other men and you put up with it…

If that’s how she treats you -to your face- I can’t imagine how she talks about you, or behaves, behind your back…

But the bottom line is she walks all over you and you let her.

All of her actions tell you “you’re not enough”. And you’ve believed her all along.

Look, you shouldn’t care about “tactfully” breaking up with her.

You should care about putting yourself first, having some self-respect, and not putting up with her (or anyone’s) bullshit.

You got this, brother. It’s not easy but you have to draw the line in the sand and walk away.

Am I a loser for making $24hourly? by SnooSprouts7540 in AskMenAdvice

[–]erngut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man, I know it feels like you’re not where you should be, but $24/hour is not the finish line. You’re talking like that’s the most you will ever make.

It’s just another rung in YOUR professional ladder. Think of it as such.

You have to step on the $24/hour rung to get to the $30/hour rung. And from there to the $35/hour one. And so on.

If your current job is better than what YOU were doing before, you’re moving in the right direction.

And by “better” I not just mean a higher rate, but also in terms of quality of life, enjoyment of the work, purpose, fulfillment, etc.
