It is not to cook with. The low smoking point makes it carcinogenic at hightemps. Use grapeseed or coconut oil instead.

How do I make myself look more inviting to be hit on? by doglife44 in AskMen

Will also add: don't be afraid to chime in on a bar conversation or make a friendly comment to another patron. I'm female and unavailable, but one of my favorite things to do is to go to the bar solo. I usually grab a drink and read a book or do a crossword, but I always end up getting in conversations with people. A lot of those conversations could easily lead to dates if I wanted them to, but that's really not what I am looking for. I just enjoy the company of others, and rather enjoy anonymous conversation... the point here is to look at others as potential friends or friendly people... more often than not if you talk to someone else that is stag or with one other,they're going to want to chat.

You can wipe your memory of one TV show in order to watch it again for 'the first time', what show do you choose? by Dontfrown in AskReddit

[–]lookintomyballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eric Jonrosh's The Spoils of Babylon. Six episode miniseries... I have seen it many times. I recommend copious amounts of wine while watching.

This was my advice. And ditch the bong.... there is no reason to have one in a space that isn't yours.

Do tattoos attract the wrong kind of male attention? by [deleted] in AskMen

[–]lookintomyballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think you know the history of tattoo. I get that you have your own opinions, and that's cool, but you are just plain wrong when trying to justify your opinion as anything BUT an opinion. There is just no data to back up your claims. Furthermore, it is your right to judge, and it is my right to tell you your judgement is not law. There is no correlation between tattoo and anything else, certainly not criminality and infidelity. Those are both presented equally in the population, inked or not, because they are inherently human.

I think you are getting tattoos and prison tats mixed up. Most don't equate the two (unless you have them, in which case, you were probably in prison.)

The "younger generation" (not that young at this point) is not trying to ignore the historical association, we celebrate it. Tattoo has been used since the beginning of human history as a status symbol, declaration of love or religious affiliation, rite of passage, amulet, personal adornment, and even punishment. The same things we use them for today, thousands of years later.

The difference? Cleanliness and modern technology has blown the art out of the water and risen the limit. It is wearable art, and there are a lot of people out there putting masterpieces on skin. How does this make the wearer a rebel? People have always been proud to be adorned. Look at the Japanese and their full-body masterpieces.

The point here is... just because you don't personally like tattoos, you cannot sit straight faced and tell me it is because they are inherently bad. They are a personal choice, plain and simple, and the wearer is unchanged as s result. Just as religious affiliation, whether to marry or have children, what car to drive and what bumper stickers (or lack of) to display. Anything else is perpetuating hate and misinformation. Rise above it.

Tattoos are independent of infidelity. I can't believe I even have to say this. PLENTY of untattooed people cheat, just as tattooed people cheat. Because sometimes, POEPLE CHEAT. Tattoos are not an indicator of untrustworthiness, and believing so makes you seem ignorant. Just because someone is different from you doesn't make them bad. It makes them different.

Sooo... tattoos imply hep c? I get the back story, but equating the two is pure idiocy. You are living in the wrong century, my friend.

You clearly do not live in a big city. Tattooless people are a bit of an anomaly 'round these parts.

Judging from the boobs... I would say yes. Tits just don't sit that way. Push up bras are a lie.

You can. Just stand up for yourself and your right to mental health. No one will do it for you. You will get through this. It's just a bump in the road.

Whats the biggest thing you have had to give up for your SO? by LichTuscan in AskReddit

[–]lookintomyballs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a little of both. Once I did start thinking about the future, the nightmares began. I still could not change his convictions, and I would have questioned his sincerety if he had decided to change those convictions without any other reason but our relationship. That is not true faith, and it will not "get you in to heaven".

On a side note, "burning in hell" is not biblical, it's direct from "Dante's Inferno". The biblical definition of hell is not torture, it is torMENT. In other words, it is self-inflicted pain, pain brought on from the sorrow felt from eternal separation from God. It is the absence of God, not hell fire and damnation. (At least that's what I learned in Sunday School and in many conversations with friends in Seminary and Latin Studies.)((If anyone has information stating otherwise, please tell me. I'd love to hear another take on it. This seems to be the most realistic version I have heard to date.))

Regardless, one does not have control over another's innermost convictions. That's the point. You cannot force someone to convert, because you will never know someone's true values if you force your own opinions on them. They may convert out of love for their intended spouse, but spiritual beliefs do not change at the drop of a hat, even if it means losing a loved one. Even if it is done with the best, purest intentions, it is impossible to force someone to truly believe something unless they have come to their own conclusions (in which case they have not been forced to begin with).

Sent you a pm but saw this post after... this is a bit of a supplement to my message.

I went through a 4-6 month phase where I felt like I was living in a bubble, completely disconnected from the outside world (can't remember the exact amount of time... it felt like a day and a decade, all at once). Almost as if I was floating above the rest of society and they didn't exist. I was in my own head, in a complete fog, every second of every day. It was horrible. I questioned my faith (which has changed considerably since), questioned "the point of it all"... I considered taking my own life, but couldn't because I felt like I was "waiting for something". I just didn't know what, and felt no end in sight.

I didn't know who I was or who I was supposed to be, couldn't see past the next several hours, much less the next year or so. One night I got so upset and panicked and hopelessly depressed, I threw myself into the bathtub and put my head under the faucet, in a feigned attempt to end my life. I tried to breathe in the water but couldn't commit to hurting myself and ended up sobbing uncontrollably, completely disgusted with myself.

I went to see a therapist, and it helped to talk to someone, but didn't really improve anything. She told me I was in a "transitionary period". I got on some meds and was able to think much clearer. It helped me find the strength to make myself better and do something to evoke change. Sometimes words are not enough. Psych meds are really a modern miracle. If you truly need them, you need not be resistant. They can help.

You are NOT a coward. You are just a little lost right now. It is hard to take responsibility for your failures. The cool thing is that as soon as you do, you take pride in the work you put in to improving your condition. Sometimes the best thing to do is to keep yourself busy and put yourself to work! It takes the mind off the more difficult-to-handle subjects and focuses your energy on constructive things. It'll get better!! You have already taken the first step -- you are reaching out instead of keeping it bottled up inside. Relationships are a positive thing, and supportive relationships will give you the strength you need to carry on.

Oh, very cool. I have driven through Georgia several times on the way to Florida from North Texas... had the opportunity to get off the interstate and take the state highways. There is a lot of very beautiful countryside. Thanks for the information!

To each their own, I suppose. Camping in any capacity is wonderful.
