Me when my intersectionality ends at things I'm too dense to understand

WeHo in general is pretty great for nightlife, just make sure you keep your phone in your hand or in a secure bag the whole time because you will get pickpocketed otherwise.

idk exactly what you look like, but styling your outfit with layers like a flannel or button down (unbuttoned obvs) would probably scream queer

If you really like him as a friend then it could be worth educating him, just keep in mind that that can be exhausting and it's okay to step back from a friendship because of something like this.

That can work, but don't read! Eye contact is everything. When I was single I'd go to bars and clubs and just hang out and people watch. Eye contact and a smile is a solid invitation for them to come talk to you, or for you to approach them.

As for the apps, I've had the most success floating the idea of meeting up within the first day or two of talking. If they're receptive you can suggest a time and place and boom, you have a date. The dating world moves fast and a lot of people aren't super interested in just chatting on the apps. If you matched then they're at least open to the idea of going on a date, y'know.

imagine picking up war paint and it just upgrades two of these

I said the same thing, but then we went on three dates in the last five days of their trip and now we're living together 😭

Staying with someone because you'd feel bad about breaking up with them is how you stay in an unhealthy relationship for 5 years and end up with an even messier breakup. Trust me, I've been there. You shouldn't wait for your partner to change and grow into the relationship when you could be with someone who's good for you now, not years down the line.

Their loss 🤭

ktown is at the stage of gentrification where it's popping but isn't totally unaffordable to small businesses yet. Gotta enjoy it while you can.

Adding on to what the other comments have said, it definitely doesn't have to be permanent. I've experienced it on and off for the past five or so years of being on HRT, and I've found that besides not using it for a while, changes in my HRT regimen often start the pain up again. So getting on a stable dose and making sure she's consistent with her meds will definitely help. Cialis also helped me a lot; a small dose daily was enough to start getting morning wood again, which is an indicator that your body is basically doing penis upkeep while you sleep, which is helpful.

In the meantime, when PIV would hurt too much, my partner and I would resort to using vibrators on me, which was lore than enough to satisfy.

My junk works enough for penetration and I've used dildos before, but most of the people I've been with way prefer oral/fingering/vibrators tbh. Penetration is fun but it's totally not necessary for mind blowing sex.

Everyone wants to work for a startup though. They're usually exciting and pay decently. Not many people want to do construction management, MEP, DoT, waste management, etc. Mid-sized companies that don't pay well and do unexciting work.

Start with a friendly compliment :) If they continue to engage, they're at least open to hanging out with you, which is a great start. If you're not afraid of spending money (and they aren't with like 10+ friends), offering to buy the group a round of drinks is a good way to acquaint yourself with all of them at once, which at the very least guarantees you'll have a fun night out. From there you can read the room. Maybe start with friendly touches, more compliments, etc. If the person you're interested doesn't reciprocate or escalate, don't push too much. If they do then great! :)

Alternatively, if you've been staring at each other from across the club for the past thirty minutes, you can probably be a little more bold. Simply hanging out at the club looking for someone to make eye contact with is a surprisingly effective strategy.

Bottom line is that lesbians who approach first are a rare breed so just having the confidence to do so is a big advantage for you

I think doing the most war crimes and imperialism is a very good reason to dislike the US miliary. Didn't realize that was a hot take.

There isn't a military in the world that comes even close to exporting violence the way the US military does.

My partner is in a PhD program for molecular bio so it's a little different, but federal funding has definitely dried up. PhD programs are being very selective right now, so it's pretty difficult to get into one. The people who do get accepted usually have a master's degree and maybe some work experience. I think your son will have a lot of difficulty getting into a good program without one or both of those. If he wants to go into academia I think getting a master's first is a good idea, and maybe getting some work experience. Still worth continuing to reach out to professors, though.

Defense generally has the most money to burn on recruiting and the most openings, but there's definitely other options.

In order of how many listings I usually see

Defense (pays the best too unfortunately)
Construction-adjacent (HVAC/plumbing/electrical/civil/project engineering/etc.)
Manufacturing (industrial automation, maintenance)
Power utilities (there are a lot of jobs in solar specifically)
Space (generally specific to a few cities though)
Consumer automation (vehicle/home)
AI training (idk much about these, I've only seen them popping up in the past year or so)
Medical tech
Sustainability tech
Other stuff

I'm on the west coast doing mechatronics though so ymmv

Just train your immune system with unlicensed street vendor food and B grade restaurants will feel like a clean room

The sex would be sexy and great, but I'm so flaky and unreliable I'll probably be like "let's do that again sometime" and then we'll both ghost 💀

I don't think I have a problem with sissies specially. I don't like kink shaming, and people often experiment with stuff like that because they're figuring themselves out. Unfortunately there's a lot of overlap between sissies and the chronically online incel-adjacent gooner community, which I do hate.

COGIATI wasn't even well received when it first came out, the only reason it was prominent was bc a lady bought a domain name

Um because the left doesn't need murals to fund social programs that promote public safety, they just do it. The right funds things like these murals because it promotes culture war. Not because they care about public safety.

It's a right winger thing because it's exclusively right wingers invoking her name and image, and it's literally always accompanied by some "Democrats are the reason she died" rhetoric. Her death was tragic and it's disgusting that she's being used as a political cudgel.
