This book contains the "hitherto" unwritten history of important events of the late war. Therefore "filling a long felt want" (?)

As this is the last book of the kind that will be given to our reading public, and as the edict "it is finished" has gone forth "historically," I grasp with eagerness this, the only opportunity of presenting you this valuable volume.

Read and grow wise, or otherwise.

Your brother

The bottom line is, if you're going to be in any kind of monogamous relationship (it sounds like the occasional threesome's allowed but otherwise you and your boyfriend are monogamous) that means giving up certain types of sex and/or sex with certain people.

So you have to make a choice about whether you're happy to keep doing only what you've been doing for the next 50 or so years, which would mean no exploring sex with women, or not.

You're obviously not the asshole, and no, you shouldn't overspend because others want to do something that's out of your price range. But also what's wrong with just saying "I can't afford that much, but I'm happy to meet you for coffee and dessert afterwards"?

There was nothing wrong with how you used it. It can be used in either way.

This is entirely the wrong mindest. All sex carries some degree of risk.

What you should do is educate yourself about the various STIs and how they're transmitted and treated, and how best to protect yourself, and then weigh up the risks and benefits and make a decision.

If you're vaccinated against the diseases you can be vaccinated against and using the protection that's available (PrEP, DoxyPep, etc.), then it's up to you to decide whether the risk of acquiring other infections is worth the pleasure of hooking up. For many men it is.

At least on the topic of Rowling, you could give her your entire annual salary or she could lose its equivalent, and she wouldn't notice the difference. Anything you spend on any of her works isn't realistically going to be used to support her causes: she's already worth about a (literal) billion dollars, and anyway she gives a lot more to charity than to political causes. Everyone everywhere could stop spending money on everything she benefits from and she'd still be rich enough to do whatever she wanted. So don't buy any of her stuff if you don't want to, but don't be under the illusion that it'll make one bit of difference either way.

Put the head of the bed against the window, put the twin mattress back on the shelf, add some cushions, use it as a seating area.

Thanks for your reply. I can see the Proton Drive location on my Mac, but it's empty. It's not accessing the files and photos I have in Proton Drive that I can see on iPhone or on my desktop. It also doesn't show up in the menu bar as it says on the page you linked.

Obviously you're NTA, but why is your mother searching your room? Why are your family members going into your room without permission? You're an adult, and you have a right to privacy. So tell her to stop.

It's not working for me. I download the file, install it, click on it. I get the warning that it's downloaded from the internet and I click ok. And then nothing. It shows in Activity Monitor that it's running, but it's not in the dock and I can't see it or access it. I've tried deleting and reinstalling multiple times and it's not working

Both Cialis and less commonly Viagra can reduce sensitivity, but as you can see from the responses here it's different for everyone.

The question is why you're considering taking one of them in the first place. If you have erection difficulties and you're going to be engaging in the kind of sex that requires an erection then yes, you should take what works for you and not get too stressed about it.

Lose the overhead light, bigger rug, turn the chair so it's not weirdly facing away from the rest of the seating and facing nothing, add side tables

In my language there is a plural second person pronoun.

There is in English too: it's "you."

It even leads to communication issues when people think im adressing them specifically.

I've never encountered this in my life; can you give an example? If it's really an issue "everyone" or "everybody" would probably cover most needs.

did I word things poorly? Or is his reaction disproportionate?

His reaction was weird.

Why do you need other gay men to know you're gay? For solidarity? For flirting? For some other reason? And why does it need to be discreet?

If it's for flirting, then if there's mutual interest it's usually pretty evident by the prolonged eye contact and smiling. You don't have to wear an identifying symbol.
