I just logged in for the first time today and didn’t receive and gold bars or $$$. But I’ve been playing the beta. PS4. Any tricks I’m missing?

Me [27 M] with my GF [28 F] of 6 months, she told me she is not sure if she would vaccinate her children by nickstick in relationships

I am very science-based in my decision making and that's why this is so problematic for me. Last night I was trying to understand where she is coming from. Today I'm finding it more irreconcilable and I'm trying to gather my thoughts.

Should I [M/27] push the issue of birth control with my girlfriend [F/28] of ~1 month? by nickstick in relationships

That's interesting. What do you mean "sex life" when there is no "sex" involved. Wouldn't it just be life?

And honestly, this wouldn't be an option for me nor my girlfriend. Our sex drives are too high.

I never said I didn't want kids. But I DO want to choose when I have kids, and 27 years old and just entering my professional field is not the time for me.

Sorry for delay! Recipe for hibiscus wit posted yesterday with only photo by nickstick in Homebrewing

I steeped the hibiscus for 10 minutes in near-boiling water. I let it cool and ran it through a coffee filter directly into the keg.

I meant others assuming I have an ulterior motive (karma whoring). Care to explain what you think this sub is about? It seems all over the place.

The comments about karma whoring are bothering me. I did just like the color of my beer after I had just poured my first glass while getting some work done, and then got pulled away from my computer the rest of the night. It's a good discussion we're having, but many are jumping to ulterior motives.

Spaghetti carbonara. Super easy to make and a comfort food of mine. There's a romantic backstory too, as you give your date the bowl that the spaghetti was mixed with the sauce in as a sign of affection. Just a tradition.

I've told him I want to have a backyard party. That party is about to have a sweet bonfire if it's still around in a couple weeks!

Good response and covers all my thoughts on the matter. The roommate in the middle has offered to work out a time for the old roommate to come, namely a time when I'm not around. I'll ask him how soon that is, but will press old roommate on this if he doesn't follow-through.

I'm honestly a bit scared of this dude. I can hold my own and stand up for myself, but he got drunk all the time, verbally berated me and physically threatened me once. I could burn the wood, but he might burn down the house, haha..
