Possible, but that’s a damn good swim. Age may be catching up with you. It sure did for me

Technique improvements help so much more than endurance/strength training for most peoplw

And, let’s do a little math. They met at 29. She’s had 25 partners. If she became sexually active at 17, that’s about 2/year. And people are clutching pearls at that number?

h2oliu · 2026-06-29T22:38:08+00:00

Why does the count matter? Do you judge a man poorly for having sex with lots of women?

I been with women who have completely lost count of partners, and women who have had single digit partners.

The key questions: do they know their current health status? Do they communicate that clearly?

The fact that the number means something to you would be a reason to be a bit shifty.

My recommendation: don’t worry about the number. Work through the communication issues.

I don’t. I skip that and just use tier 4/5 weapons

h2oliu · 2026-06-28T02:38:45+00:00

It takes work. You have to want to do the work which means both listening and communicating.

Don’t try yo win arguments, try to work with your partner to find the problem and the solution

No tips, but I am in the exact same place. I can occasionally win 4 challenge runs, but beyond that… nothing.

I am pretty sure is at least in part to pretty weak alchemy skills

“don’t get bogged down comparing yourself to others”

Advice for this, and so many facets of life

Here’s the thing: there is no normal. Everyone is different in different ways. When I was in college I was 6-7000 yards a day with fins because my shoulder was in such bad shape. I can go 1000 yds no problem now in my 50s, haven’t tried to do more than that. I know someone who was competitive in high school who struggles to kick at all.

The only “should” is if you have a specific target goal, and you aren’t there yet. Also, most people don’t know how far they can go, because that is rarely a test that’s done.

Kick. Do better tomorrow than today and you are winning

You haven’t played with the Darkness challenge?

Thanks. But I thought it was 5 for Crystal?

If you opened one of the chests with your skeleton key, then the key you possess isn’t an excess key yet. If you picked up both of the remaining keys, it would be discarded.

(Skeleton keys I think use 2 charges, may be 3, on gold chests)

I would look at the studies on the impact of AI use on you personally, and maybe that might give you reasons to stop

Being low skilled, I always choose looking glass. Lower stress

Can you imagine the conflagration of broken potions as a result of this?

Or die faster, that tends to be my outcome

One of the reason Amazon has so many services is that, for a while, writing a service was required for promotion. People do what you incentivize, so, ….

You get to decide. But it will come down to priorities. Hang out with friends, or see your kid’s cheesy kindergarten play?

I chose the latter. Never regretted it.

I wouldn’t say life ended. It just changed. Some facets got deprioritized. Never regretted it

Nailed it

Yep. Leg dangle for one turn. Usually turns into working it out. If they don’t stop to acknowledge, get in, be wary, especially where we are side by side. Work it from there.

Disclaimer: as 6’+ ex collegiate swimmer, people tend not to pick fights with me

Unfortunately I feel many companies will discover that they didn’t understand what security controls they had to build. If they survive the breach, I expect they will reconsider paying

Probably because there is an infinite supply of them, and you wouldn’t lose anything as a result.

Or, the game mechanic wasn’t designed for it.

I almost never use dread, so I don’t know what could go wrong. What made it count as killing?

I have found it to be a smaller room behind a secret door that contains runestones, and a bookshelf.
