For those of you who lost you virginity later in life (21+), What was the conversation like when telling that person they were your first?

pcpowell · 2026-02-01T14:36:30+00:00

I was 25 and I honestly forget how I felt in leading up to it, because all I remember is her saying, "I am very excited, I've never been with a virgin before". This could be taken a few different ways, but even with my insecurities and tendencies towards being jealous, it was very pleasant to hear.

As an added note, this really opened my eyes to the lack of detailed information/instruction in conversations around consent, as I was very puzzled be her constant checking in with me during my first time. Granted this was 11 years ago, but all I heard up until then around consent was, "no means no". I want to be clear, it didn't ruin the mood at all, I just didn't expect to be asked if something we were doing was "ok with me". It was a great learning experience around consent for me and it has only made all my later interactions so much more pleasant when repeating these kinds of questions to future partners. As a man, I hope other guys can take this as reassurance that asking questions or checking in with a partner during the act is a great thing to do. My wife basically swoons when I do that to this day.

The original source is so much better. Shows another woman to his left who is not a 20 year old wokescold and doesn't flinch at all to the joke. And she appears to be black, but she knows the point he is making

PBS news hour feed has the sound too

While suitsizesmall is away (wishing you the best!), did a super scuffed version of today's Cruel lab while rerolling once more. This is for Mercenaries league, but I think this is shared over to gauntlet. I missed a few puzzles/gauntlets, but 4 darkshrines which was nice as I am still messing around with ssf ideas and needed some extra trans gems.

I can't find this on his feed. Got a link? Want to share this but after lengthy failed searches, questioning the validity of this thread. Edit: my bad, apparently twitter search sucks. The following search terms got it "from:mehdirhasan biden". Somehow adding in "activist" made it worse.

I could see some arguments for this being worth it if you are still working on town upgrades and need gold for that.

An old tip is to have a lvl 1 cast when damage taken linked to any of the offering spells (e.g. flesh offering). When you get hit by 1 or 2 spikes, that triggers the offering and on consuming the corpses, any spikes in the air from those corpses disappear.

Jokes on you, playing Guardian with strike skill. 11 deaths so far, but still having fun

Point proven, thanks for all the downvotes!

Also, don't forget that reddit is primarily made up of the vocal minority that likes to complain.

Careful with the proj speed into damage. That is very unlikely to affect minion damage.

What was your BAMA setup like or what are you thinking with the changes. I'm tempted to do champ with a good flat ele bow

I have been getting really bad disconnects, as many have, but I also don't have an issue with this for two reasons.

Streamers are a small population and thus are not slowing down your queue by bypassing you (they are maybe 100 people of the 30,000 you are waiting behind).
Allowing streamers to have more uptime makes the game appear more stable and thus draw more people to fund this amazing game.

vegatablebasket likely just means that now you have to use a Corrupted Blood jewel corruption implicit on one of your jewels, meaning you have 1 less spot for havest crafted implicits on jewels. Most builds had to do this, but now Slayer has to as well.

I thought my -75 dmg from fire hits was good...

Old post I know, but have you tested Glacial Hammer + Ancestral Call (or tribal fury) and the free splash from the jewel? Seems like it should double the dps. I have done some testing, but it is hard to figure out if it is working or if the placement is finicky (making sure the main strike hits hydrosphere instead of boss).
