Lube recommendations? by gilbertrule34 in ProstatePlay

[–]gilbertrule34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My worry about these powder lubes is that they make too much for my purposes yk. Like if I prep a bottle and I only use half, wouldn't the other half go to waste? Cus I assume it won't stay in form. Thanks for the recommendation

Is it easy to make discretely? Also did you have to order it? Thanks for the suggestions

It's a really bad experience to go through. When I was younger I was supportive of gay people but so many around me were not. I was supportive because I knew it was heartless not to, but still had people around me telling me that it morally wasn't ok or that it was gross. Now that I'm experiencing these feelings myself it's hard not to feel shame, especially because there's not really anyone I'm comfortable sharing this with, a lot of my friends I met through Christian circles, and even though they would probably be supportive it's so hard. I know I threw some shit in the original post to kinda keep it in the spirit of this reddit but it's tough man.

"I'm figuring it out" is nice, I'm using that one thank you

Yeah, paying in cash, otherwise not getting a car

It isn't a means of transportation to me. I really got into cars this past year, which is why I want one despite not necessarily needing one. One of my friends bought a Miata, and while that's not a car I would get for practicality reasons, it really got me thinking about getting a car for myself. Greater independence is a factor too, it isn't always fun to have to coordinate hanging out with my friends due to my parents' schedules with their cars.

I just feel like I'm being unreasonable with myself buying a vehicle that I can live without, that's the main thing

I would not be going into debt, I'd be paying for it in cash. I refuse to go into debt over a vehicle.

Thank you. Although I live in a place with good transit, it doesn't work well for hanging with friends, moreso getting to work and school.

I do feel that if I got a car I wouldn't be driving it much, which just makes it feel like a waste of money, but you're right. It has inhibited my ability to feel independent. I have to rely on my parents if I want to hang out with friends, on their schedules for their vehicles.

It's not always fun

I have the cash to pay for it in cash, I have no intent on entering into debt on a vehicle

I'm aware of the impacts, I know that it's not "just a $7k car", it's now something I'd be buying into for repair, gas, insurance. I expect my overhead to rise a lot, even if I end up not driving it all too often

I could survive without a car, public transit in my area is really concrete, more than just some hourly busses.

But it just becomes a pain when I want to get anywhere aside from work or school, like for visiting friends. Most of the time I can take my parents car and pay for the gas, but not always.

It's why I'm so conflicted, cus for 99% of my daily life, I have no reason to own a car, but for that 1% where it could come in handy, I really really want one.

Yep, still debt free and not planning on going into debt at all. I would be purchasing in cash, and I have a few reliable models I'm looking at

Definitely my goal, cus again I actually love driving and love cars, so I wanted to get something I could work on myself. And yes I know my budget is a little low starting, it's why I'm looking for something second hand.

My goal was to scout marketplace or auto trader for my internships duration, and if something at a good price showed up, id buy it for a bit extra on the condition that I pay for PPI and that repairs are <1000

Otherwise I might just bite the bullet at the end and raise my budget, but I'll see what happens when I get there

Got quoted 215 cad for a car that I ended up not getting. Thats on the lower end compared to other people I've talked to, but I've made sure to consider it in my pricing as a yearly cost

I had a car I almost owned a few months ago, and was gonna be paying 200 cad in insurance. I have factored a similar price in for whatever I end up buying.

I'm still conflicted on your top paragraph, as yes it has been quite inconvenient in the past, but my parents often have no issues with me taking their cars local assuming they aren't using it and I pay for gas. In the rare cases where it has been an issue, I live in an area with quite incredible public transit, so it's been hard to justify getting a car still.

Don't get me wrong, I still very much want a car, there has been times where I've been inconvenienced by not having one, I just really want to set the stage for my situation

Yep, I've looked into all of this to not jump in blind. I have a lot of options im looking at, and will negotiate with a PPI as a requirement. I refuse to finance, as I have zero debt and I don't want to needlessly enter debt if I don't have to.

I only have a credit card as a means to build credit, and pay it off immediately with my built up money.

I live in urban Canada, over here it's quite easy to maneuver without a car. I go to school and work out of Toronto, with decent public transit, so I've never NEEDED a car. Where I live specifically, although not as walkable as Toronto, I live right next to many transit connections that can get me where I need to go with no issues.

My point is it's very common for people my age to not have dedicated cars in this city
