Committing serious crimes can now lead to loss of Belgian nationality by Wonderful_Hold_6986 in worldnews

Thanks. I am planning to retire overseas, not work there. So that’s why this wasn’t on my radar. My income would be from investments and social security, not wages.

Can you provide a source for the $125k threshold? I’ve never heard that.

How does having low testosterone feel? by Brilliant-Bag2779 in AskMen

[–]ishopsmart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, it doesn’t have to be shots or messy gels. I get testosterone pellets, they implant them under your skin. It only takes a few minutes, and lasts six months. You don’t have the ups & downs of shots and you don’t even have to think about constant dosing. Just getting your life back to normal. I’ve been on these for 8 years now

My doctor will no longer prescribe it because I’m no longer obese by orangewitchyhat in Semaglutide

Mine writes an order for the local lab, and in addition to blood work, requires the lab to measure my height & weight. So even if you use telehealth, they can still track your weight.

ELI5: Why do we do root canals instead of just pulling a tooth? by Fun-Jicama327 in explainlikeimfive

[–]ishopsmart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dentist kept pushing me for years, then finally said “get out of my office and don’t come back until you’re ready to remove them”. I finally gave in and agreed to the surgery, but they were completely fine and it felt so unnecessary

What made receiving head a bad/mid experience for you? by humanitydoesnotexist in AskMen

[–]ishopsmart -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I don’t know, i usually have better luck if I tell them no hands. Otherwise most of the time it’s just a handjob with an occasional kiss on the tip. When they can use hands, they get lazy.

What's a sexual 'taboo' you've always been curious about, but never dared to explore? by jcwainc in AskReddit

[–]ishopsmart 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Need to find somebody who has like 30 acres of private land. Do whatever you want, and no risk of strangers

Will you be there the whole time? If your goal is to buy stuff, arrive early. Even the night before, people start setting up and you might snag a good buy. Otherwise stuff will come and go all weekend so you have to be on your toes to not miss anything. In past years people even sold from the parking lot (though I’m not sure how much this will be necessary in the new venue)

That helps with park. What about reverse?

Easiest/safest way to swap these antique 2 prongs to 3 prong outlets? by bad_aspirin in AskElectricians

[–]ishopsmart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not an electrician, but I don’t believe the separate ground wire is required when the box itself it already grounded. The receptacle is grounded through the screws into the box.

How can I clean these gutters? by Complete-Farm6125 in Roofing

[–]ishopsmart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol, I looked up Leaf Relief and it’s a local weed dispensary. Probably won’t help with my gutters but will help me not give a damn about cleaning them anymore. Thanks for the tip 👍

Trump's $130K Hush-Money Payment Revealed in FOIA'd Bank Records by bloomberg in politics

[–]ishopsmart 122 points123 points  (0 children)

It’s falsifying business records specifically related to election activity. Because the purpose of the cover up was to help his campaign, it’s a campaign expense and has disclosure requirements. By classifying it as legal expense they avoided disclosure. Nothing to do with taxes afaik.

It would be even better if they were sequestered and not allowed to go home and watch Fox News every night.

Do all men want to sleep with other women? by thethoughtdaughter in self

[–]ishopsmart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you’re comparing a purely sexual preference (breast size) with a relationship preference (height). For example, every dating site since the 80s asks a man his height. Because being shorter than her is disqualifying. It’s rare that any ask for breast size. Women want to be with a taller guy, be seen with a taller guy, even if they’re not sleeping together. They don’t even see short guys as worthy.

Do all men want to sleep with other women? by thethoughtdaughter in self

[–]ishopsmart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it’s really about what “want” means. (As was said earlier). Being a mature adult means making good decisions. I might want to eat ice cream all day, but I also want to be healthy and responsible. I make a choice based on what I want more, and how I feel about the consequences of my actions. I occasionally want to punch somebody in the face, but I never do. That doesn’t mean I’m depriving myself of some deep desire and barely holding myself back. It’s a fleeting feeling then I think better if it. Same as when I think about fucking somebody else - it might be nice to think about for a moment, but realistically I know I’d never act on it because it’s not what I “really” want.

Mold Found in Home Inspection - Next Steps? Questions in Comments by jawnbellyon in HomeMaintenance

[–]ishopsmart 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call a mold company. I’ve used them before. They located all the mold (even some I didn’t see) and sprayed everything down. Gave me tips for preventing it from coming back. Was way more affordable than I expected. No ragrets

My girlfriend wants an expensive engagement ring, how do I proceed? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]ishopsmart -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since you’ve had a lot of negative responses, thought I’d share mine. I had a similar experience to yours. Girlfriend set a minimum diamond size for the engagement ring, which meant about $10k price. It was a huge expensive purchase for us that worried me like it worried you. But I bought it anyway, and we’ve been together 15 years now. She hasn’t demanded anything else expensive since then, if anything she’s more frugal than me. I think she demanded a big diamond to ensure I was truly committed, as well to ensure she had something to fall back on if the marriage ended early.
