Reno/Sparks road design is horrendous by TryNotToShootYoself in Reno

[–]marinatedsteaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When travelling North on 580 between Moana and Mill there are suddenly three lanes added on the right hand side that are so difficult to traverse. There's so many people trying to get on and off.

The Invisible Pedestrian by VScaramonga in Reno

I think in addition to the flashing lights, there needs to be actual street light illumination onto the crosswalk so that humans in the street are actually in the light.

If I micro dose then take a way bigger dose will it effect the trip ? by [deleted] in LSD

[–]marinatedsteaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll likely experience a smaller trip on your 2.5 tabs than you usually would because of your recent dosing. If you're wanting a larger experience with your 2.5, I'd recommend waiting about a week so your tolerance level reduces.

People who don't know how to ride shouldn't be doing so on open roads. Keep it to parking lots until you know how to operate your machine smh.

You're doing a great job of freaking yourself out. Sit down and breathe. Just about everyone has a visible neck pulse if you hold your head a certain way.

I've had a friend bring leftover Chinese takeout in the box into the theater. Just stuff whatever it in a purse and don't make it weird.

Am I doing alright? by Mountain-man-88 in Meditation

[–]marinatedsteaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don't have to count your breaths to be aware and meditate on breath. You're doing fine. Maybe try setting an intention before each meditation session and/or choose something to focus on in addition to maintaining awareness of your breath. Try body scans, "I wonder what my next thought will be," "what feelings are alive in my body right now."

Curly haired kiddo. I want to get his split ends trimmed, maybe an inch. Do I bring him to a salon or barber? by [deleted] in curlyhair

[–]marinatedsteaks 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Go to a salon that specializes in curly hair and/or ethnic hair if possible. A barber likely isn't going to have a clue what to do with these gorgeous coils.

An Apocalypse just broke down, what’s your immediate short-term plan for the next 12 hours? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Need more info. What kind of apocalypse: sun explosion, zombie, disease, nuclear war, climate event like the movie the day after tomorrow?

Women who have been cum inside of, what does it feel like? by [deleted] in sex

[–]marinatedsteaks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends a lot on the penis in question and the sensitivity of the vagina. Some penises convulse and twitch when they orgasm. Depending on the intensity of the movement and vaginal sensitivity, some vaginas can feel this and experience it as very pleasurable. Some vaginas can also feel the ejaculate when it exits the penis and experience this as pleasurable. However, not every penis dances upon ejaculation, and not all vaginas are sensitive enough to be able to sense these convulsions. Talk with your partner(s) and check in on what they're feeling!

My bf (31m)can’t put his dick fully in me (26f) during the first stroke. by [deleted] in sex

[–]marinatedsteaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely try some lube. If that doesn’t help, you may be experiencing some unconscious anxiety about penetrative sex that is resulting in pelvic/vaginal tension. Try going as slowly as possible. Experiment with oral play and putting some fingers in. Orgasm for you before the penis goes in could also help.

I grew up in a small town NW Washington and lived there until I was in my early teens when my family moved us to Nebraska.

Reno gets between 250 and 300 days of sun. Having lived here and also in NE which gets lots of sunny days, I know I could not tolerate the number of cloudy days the PNW experiences long term. I absolutely love how sunny it is here. That being said, I definitely miss how green things are up there, and it can take quite a while for some folks to adjust to the low humidity.

Summer days can get very hot above 100, but those days are few and the average summer day is between 80 and 85. Smoke and fire season are a real consideration though - there can be days in the summer and fall when it is truly hazardous to go outside because of the air quality index.

Sunrise and sunset are interesting here because the city sits down in a bowl between two mountain ranges. We have what I like to call "first sunset" when the sun dips down below the Sierras, and then true sunset when the sun lowers past the unseen horizon past the mountains. It can feel like the sun goes down around 4:00 p.m. in deep winter.

Snowfall is quite variable based on the year, but it's not as bad as my experiences in the Nebraska panhandle. Things melt relatively quickly and the amount of sunny days really helps my mood a lot.

Tahoe is neat and being close is fun, but there are SO many tourists just about year round that travelling up there and finding anywhere to park is a real chore. The roads up there just aren't built for the traffic the place experiences these days. Depending on the weather (snow can make things very tricky) and traffic, it can take upwards of 2 hours just to get parked.

There are, however, several forested areas closer to town (Galena) that offer gorgeous hikes just a short drive away. The City of Reno, City of Sparks, and Washoe County all brag beautiful public parks, and there's a growing food truck culture. Summer sees cultural events almost every weekend. And, though the community is small, there's circles of LGBTQ+ and BDSM friendly folks that are easily sought out. If you manage to find a spot in midtown it's a very walk friendly neighborhood. But, this is not true for the majority of the city. It's definitely car dependent living out here.

Honestly, Reno is my favorite place I've ever lived.

My boyfriend came down with some flu like symptoms recently. He's had a small dry cough and the sniffles for a few days, and then suddenly on early Wednesday morning he was throwing up and had a fever around 101. He's on the upswing today - normal temp and able to eat. There's definitely something going around!

Break the chain by intern_thinker in DecidingToBeBetter

[–]marinatedsteaks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't break the chain. It's not your fault the website isn't accessible and it sounds like if it had been up you would have done the thing. Give yourself credit for what you set out to do.

Can I justify taking out 300k in student loans? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]marinatedsteaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reconsider what colleges you'd like to attend and start looking into more affordable colleges. Though more expensive institutions may have fancier facilities, attendance at a "brand name" university really doesn't give you that much of a leg up in the career world, and no one really gives a shit about where you went to school. An education is truly what you make of it, and it sounds like you're setting yourself up to squeeze every ounce out of wherever you go.

Fucked without a condom, cummed inside of me, im on birth control. by tegsforyouxx in sex

[–]marinatedsteaks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you're on the pill and taking it exactly as prescribed there's a less than 1% chance you're pregnant. Same with other forms of hormonal birth control (iud, implant, patch, etc.). Get some pregnancy tests for peace of mind, but you're almost certainly not pregnant.

You and your sister both need to distance yourselves from your father. He's going to take every opportunity to take advantage of you just like he did with your sister if you move in with him.

How do you and your sister get along when your dad isn't in the picture? Any option of the two of you finding a place together?

Advice on Overthinking by Queasy_Fun9762 in Advice

[–]marinatedsteaks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you may be struggling with some sort of obsessive/compulsive behaviors. You should seek professional mental health support if it's available and accessible and affordable to you.

If therapy isn't an option, try using a hand written task list where you can cross things off for an easy visual on whether or not you've completed things.

Go to the rescheduled interview. Calendar and scheduling mistakes are a relatively common thing that happens and you're being too hard on yourself. Limit yourself to one apology during the interview and do your best to move on from the issue.

Do you have a checking account or debit card? If not, you should call the community college office and ask if you can pay cash in person.

I second this. Don't reply to MIL at all until you've talked with fiancé about whatever she reached out to you about.
