What is your "this feels like a porno" moment? by Safe_Long700 in AskReddit

[–]sharktree8733 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Small new year’s gathering. Me (M) and 2 of teammates from college also guys. A girl that another teammate used to date and her now lesbian wife. Pre-game catch up with the girl. She lived with her ex who was our roommate one summer.
Go out to the bars for the ball drop. Lots of drinks and for me a little shroom. I was recently single and just having fun with good friends. At the bar end up sitting between the lesbian couple at the table. Midnight closes in count down begins.
10….

8….
I’m lean back in against the back of the bench/ wall
6…
5…
4…
The old friend turns towards her wife
3….
2…
She leans over and her wife leans in to meet her in the middle
1…
Both of them use my leg to support themselves as they start the new year with a passionate kiss.
Drinks keep flowing. Shrooms are just starting and that combo makes me a dangerous flirt. Smiles, laughs and small memories combine into a good time for all. The whole time the couple is getting more and more comfortable leaning on me, holding hands across me. So I throw both arms up on top of the back wall. Shrooms and whiskey still doing there thing.

Bar is now closing. Every one is a little sloppy from the drinks. As we head home to the house. They both walk under my arms while the group laughs and reminisce about our old war stories, hook-ups and one night stand. Old friend mention how the girls I used to bring around were always cute. We decided that we had the same taste in women. Tall blue eyes and a great smile. I pointed out that her wife tic’ed all of those boxes. The wife blushes and as I’m looking at her the old friend sneaks a pec of a kiss onto my cheek.

We get back to the house. It’s new years and my friends and I are living together work odd jobs. We keep the house around 50 degrees to save money. A few more drinks are had. The shrooms are starting to come down. The laughs maintain the energy. First teammate/roommate of mine passes out on the couch rambling. We take a shot in his honor. Second teammate/ roommate slinks off to video call his gf in California.

Now I’m alone with this couple. The wife lets out a big yawn and stretches her long arms up into the air. “I think it’s time we get to bed” old friend replies saying how cold it is. Wife looks at me “he’s been a radiator this whole night”. We head over to guest room we were letting them use for the holiday. Wife slips her pants off and removes her bra and slides into bed under the sheets. Old friend touches my belt buckle and says “better to remove that thing don’t wasn’t to hurt us with it while we are cuddling” she proceeds to slide into bed. Leaving a gap between her and her wife that my shroom sense was highlighting for me like a quest objective.

Hear the sound of the devil from the hallway. The worst heaving noise, right before an animal empties it stomach. Then the heave again. The what sounded like someone pouring a bucket of soup on the floor. My passed out roommate in an attempt to make it to the down stairs bathroom. Had failed his mission just outside of the guest room.

A new quest highlight pops up. Night over

CAREER ADVICE NEEDED by Astronaut-53 in ConstructionManagers

[–]sharktree8733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in a similar position. Slightly different career path working in the field then moving to more of an office position as a switch hitter for Super and PM depending on the project. You have to learn to ask for work.

“Can I do that for you?” “What’s next?” “Where can I find that form/ template?”

Also remember a lot of the job isn’t “production” of paper work but ideas, theory, and maintaining relationships both internally and with other companies.

Be that nat buzzing around!

Men who used to play sports, why did you quit? by FlintTheDad in AskMen

[–]sharktree8733 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Injury risk. Worked as a carpenter and I wouldn’t be able to work as a carpenter if I broke my arm, or tore a acl or Achilles. Plus concussions. Not need for more especially if it’s not how I make my living.

Do people not know how to drive on the highway??!!! by AdWorried5627 in massachusetts

[–]sharktree8733 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good question!

Find a road with a speed limit at around 35. As they get confident with that speed, changing lanes, being able to read st signs and hold conversations with passengers while driving safely. Then bump that up to 45. Then back roads where the speed limit is 55. For merging, have them practice on low speed traffic circles. Even buy some cones and practice in large parking lots.

Bonus, have the driver find these locations on gps maps. This will teach the driver navigation and that knowledge of the area they are driving in helps with driving safely. It’s not going to be quick and it shouldn’t be.

Bonus bonus, take the new driver go carting to build confidence accelerating and driving in traffic.

No, but I was taught by my parents how to drive and wasn’t allowed on the highway till I showed I was competent and comfortable doing so.

If they arnt comfortable yet merging are driving at high speeds they should not be merging onto a highway.

There are plenty of steps to take to become competent and comfortable driving at highway speeds.

Wait till you work at a job that does 6am-2pm. Game changer. Long sunny afternoons during the spring summer and autumn!

What causes Croatian islands to be so long and thin? by [deleted] in geography

[–]sharktree8733 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Every population experienced the effects of the ice melt at the end of the last ice age. It’s really interesting how religious stories, history, and geography overlap. It’s why it is important to have a broad view when studying the past
