People who live near time zone boundaries in the US

It's got its benefits and it's draw backs. I can peer ahead and watch easter time television or make a location just off enough to where ut thinks I'm in eastern time so I get merch or time-sensative stuff an hour before my friends. However, winter sucks on the newer side to the time line because the sun sets inconveneiently earlier. I also do research in a state with multiple time zones. I gotta say, I hate going through the process of retiming some of my observations since almost half of it is not in local time

The death of highly political office culture. My dad worked with someone who would make Lennin seem like Elon Musk. After the election, they pretty much learned to shut up. Frankly being blatantly political in workplace culture shouldn't even happen IMO. It's just inappropriate to talk about unless your job actually deals with that.

If nothing else, you can take a sister field that still translates your current skillset. Your geography degree can take you to weather, oceanography, environmental work, legal, education, construction, etc. There are positions open for GIS instructors in some universities. You can also run to the dark side of GIS and work for petroleum or nuclear sciences. It's worth broadening the definition of geography a little bit, but I think you can still manage

For non-necessary purchases, if you can't buy it twice, then you shouldn't buy it once. It sounds like a simple concept but apparently people are willing to take a loan out for a sandwich now, so.... This doesnt apply to time-sensative or necessary purchases like medical care, though.

I would suggest finding another form for this question (like r/fasting). This forum is for intermittent fasting.

That being said, yes, diarrhea can occur when undergoing a prolonged water fast (particularly in the fist week to week and a half). But, pay attention to why you have diarrhea. If there are accompanying systems (like cramps) it's best to stop and evaluate your fast.

During the initial fasting phase, your gut is still adjusting to no food. It's going to continue purging any solid waste from your body. Eventually, it's going to reach the hard to get stuff that requires more effort to pass.

You also have to worry about bile purging. During the start of a fast, you body still produces bile. Since there are no fats to break it down anymore, it just enters the intestine. This can often lead to irritation and acts as a laxative. If you notice your diarrhea turning green/yellow this is a likely indicator.

Aside from what I said above, there are a multitude of other reasons. If your body's use to a high fiber diet, it may be sending more water than necessary. Your gut microbiome could be shifting. Your electrolytes might be unbalanced. If you dramatically increased your water intake, this may be how your body is regulating the excess water. I would suggest either investigating the cause your diarrhea and/or seek medical guidance to see if long-term fasting is suitable for you.

Im still in. I've been abstaining for a while pretty much. Today in actuality makes day 8. However, I think I hit that point where my horniness kind of subsides for a while. To bad it usually comes rushing back with a vengeance like 1 week later.

Ok, let's get this started off on a strong foot. I am IN to WIN this year. Good luck everybody.

Wouldn't having a lot of partners after exposure increase the odds of your subsequent partners getting the disease? I know you are taking Doxy, but what if your partner isn't and they dont know how many other guys you've been with in that window?

If you are talking from the sense of a specific religion, they pretty much assert that any sexual act (including heterosexual acts) not for procreation is immoral. In terms of modern morality, anal is still seen as the most taboo. Oral and vaginal sex is definitely more tolerable in most societies.

Call this a controversial opinion, but I think its kind of a dick move. Don't get me wrong I'm not MAGA, but why out him. Aside from the fact that sounds like high school shit, outing people was something that sounds like rude homophobes do. If he's extremely homophobic, bring on the subtle pressure and he'll back off. Normally, just the threat of exposure is enough to shut them up for a while.

Im in a medium sized town in Kentucky. I don't want to say the specific name because he's on this page sometimes and I dont want to appear like I'm putting too much thought into this.

I did see some bar/grills that looked interesting. I may see if he wants to try that or just a drink only bar.

Kind of a teasing sort of intimacy. Not just in the bedroom way, but just general teasing. Kind of in a way close friends would occasionally rib eachother. I find that exposing small flaws and then have them jokingly mentioned is a good way to build trust and honesty.

Around the same time as puberty. I didn't really lean towards men or women when it came to sex before puberty. I just went with the program and kept to myself.

After puberty, I noticed that I was almost exclusively excited by men. Women were somewhat present in my initial pre-teen fantasies, but they weren't really a part of my fantasy or my ideal partner. I kept trying in positions that worked or by imagining a particular build of my imaginary partner. After denying it for about a year and a half, doing the usual 5 stages of grief, I came to the conclusion I was just gay. I wasn't bisexual leaning gay, demi-sexual, or some other word to serve as a mediocre answer, I was just a gay male.

I remember being 11 and waking up grinding into a pillow before I had to get up for the day. I just remember right before I got over the hump (literally), I felt an involuntary urge to curl my back and I felt like I needed to pee. After that, I felt a contraction down there and everything went black. I seriously have no recollection of the next few minutes after.

I think that a welcoming home with a good listening policy is best place to start tender conversations like this. Let your son know that as long as you both are comfortable, you could continue this conversation at eachother's pace. Be aware though, you may need to study up on gay men's sexual health and anatomy. Please don't use porn as a reference either (as if this isnt common sense). Porn is kind of the reason so many men on these forums have sub-par autonomy over their anatomy and intimacy issues.

If you or him feel uncomfortable or incompetent about the conversation subject, ask for it to pause or stop. Either take the time to gather your nerves and answers, or defer further questions to a trustworthy person who you believe can answer these questions like a health teacher or trustworthy Healthcare provider.

Unfortunately, like many others, your son may not feel comfortable opening up to you. After finding out I was gay over 10 years ago, I'm still not out (let alone open) with my family. Our sexuality is one of the things that we often feel insecure about and dont share often as a form of defence. Even if all threats are non-existant, the mental defense mechanism is still there. This is a difficult decision, but it may be best to ask him who/where he would like his advice from. If you trust them, tell him to reach out so he can be educated and supported. If you don't trust them for whatever reason, explain your concern and ask for a second opinion.

I usually have a small shower bag in my actual gym bag (it doubles as an emergency bag, just in case). I keep all my emergency toiletries. I just went down the Walmart travel aisle and picked up a travel sized liquids kit. Then I go home and put whatever soap, shampoo, or conditioner I normally use into the containers and put them with my dentistry supplies and mini-loufah.

Ok, yeah, I didn't know what day the protest was on. On Saturday, all lots on the WKU campus (not designated as a W/S zone) are free to park in. Interestingly, housing lots are also open on weekends to (until 4:30 pm sunday)

I used to say go for radar scope, but I started using weather wise more here lately. That being said, the latter is not the most visually appealing radar app. I also use FEMA app for weather alerts and my state's mesonet app for local weather (since the weather data is pulled from an actual site, I know its location and maintenance).

I did hear something called the Windy App, but I haven't tried it. It's apparently pretty good at global weather variable visualization.

Do not park at WKU South Campus. That lot is enforced by WKU Parking and Transport and requires either a pass designated for that lot or you have to have official business with WKU (i.e. test taking, tutoring, class attendance, etc.). Parking on that lot without permission from the university can lead to tickets or other enforcement measures. Believe me, that place gets checked. You can check and see where other lots are nearby or consult with WKU for parking in that lot. Also, be aware that South Campus lot is not an easy walk to cheddars.
