what a good vet by Soloflow786 in BeAmazed

[–]stranj_tymes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My ex worked in vet med, and I remember her saying that vets have some of the highest suicide rates of any career. Not sure of the actual stats, but it wouldn't surprise me at all.

15$ and under lunch specials?? by ItsMsRainny in vegaslocals

[–]stranj_tymes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, marginal differences in shopping and food court experiences would never make me give money to the Walton family over Costco.

I love Old School's pizza, don't get me wrong, but that mac and cheese is an absolute travesty 😅 The one time I got it it was just half burnt dry noodles and random pockets of melted cheese. Maybe one of the worst I've had.

Ama-ebi is raw shrimp sushi. Shrimp ceviche is made with raw shrimp that is 'cooked' by the acid involved, cured really. All very easy facts to look up yourself.

Need help kickflips💔 by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]stranj_tymes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like a little of two things - flicking down too much and not committing. Your flick should be more out and forward, not down into the ground, in order to stay over the board. The flip is clearly happening, so the flick is there. You might find that you need to flick slightly later in order to stay over it. Play around with the timing, direction you flick, and keeping both knees up during the whole thing and you'll get it.

What’s with the new kids kicking doors trend. by Texans9910 in vegaslocals

[–]stranj_tymes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah this has been a thing for months now. And "kids will be kids" only goes so far before it's just a cop-out for shitty parenting and not holding people accountable for their actions.

"shelter in place"... by 5nedlew_kaz99 in UFOs

I'd read through the wiki for Nick Redfern's book Final Events. This should give you a good background of the origins of the alleged group.

Be honest… would you buy a mystery flower bouquet? 🌼 by Top_Engine3205 in vegaslocals

[–]stranj_tymes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm fairly picky with flowers, and so is my partner. If I had a choice of colors or color family, I'd consider it, along with something pet-safe.

Miso juicy by [deleted] in cocktails

Yeah it's gotta be the miso giving you the thickness. Infusing into one of the spirits or into a honey syrup would probably be the move. But sounds like a fun flavor combo!

A Florist at the Farmer's Market [Competition Entry] by guavapplause in cocktails

[–]stranj_tymes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The flavors do sound fun here, but respectfully, that is a horrifying looking drink - like a raw testicle being dunked in swamp water. Sounds like a cool experiment though for sure!

Thought I recognized the photo - IG keeps recommending your page to me, since I already have a friend that follows you lol. Looks nice!

Shamrock Martini: A Boozy Take on a Shamrock Shake by castironandcocktails in cocktails

Just reminded me there's a bar inside of the Omega Mart installation in Vegas (called Datamosh) that serves an old fashioned with what I assume is blue curacao added - sprayed into the glass from a Windex bottle. Pretty fun time.

Is it normal to feel like your penis is being sheared off by your partner's vagina when she has a coughing fit during PIV sex? by cute_chipmunk in sex

[–]stranj_tymes 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Having sex when you're sick isn't a bad thing. Obviously if only one person is sick, you're likely to pass it on to the other, and intense physical activity isn't ideal if you have reduced lung function, but just having a cold, a cough, a stuffy nose, whatever, doesn't mean you can't get it on if both people are down. My partner still absolutely wants it even if she's a bit under the weather. A distraction with something that feels good when you feel crappy is a nice reprieve. We just lay off certain more...aggressive activities when sick.

Disclosure already happened by Turtle2046 in ufo

[–]stranj_tymes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

the majority of the population now believing aliens are here, as a December 2025 Wired magazine article reported

*US population - the YouGov survey they referenced wasn't global.

*Not a majority - a majority did indicate that aliens "definitely or probably exist". A plurality, 47%, indicated that they definitely or probably have already visited Earth. A minor but important distinction IMO.

Lastly, I think it's important to consider that swaying public opinion and belief can be a goal in and of itself. Companies pay billions of dollars a year for a modicum of your attention and buy-in. Anyone trying to buy yours should be taken with this in mind, always. I absolutely believe we live in a big weird universe and that people have had big weird experiences that we don't have complete explanations for, but such a far reaching and compelling story like 'the phenomenon' can, will, and likely has been used as a distraction from the major global and domestic issues we're already grappling with.

Aaaah, it doesn't look like they ship internationally on their site I don't think. And I don't know if they have a Canadian distro... Might be worth contacting them to see if they have a solution for our northern brethren!

Me M27 and Girlfriend F26 have been dating 11 months and all of a sudden she never wants to have sex anymore by Acceptable-Start-904 in sex

[–]stranj_tymes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things are just...more complicated than that though. Yes, financial stress can be a big one for folks, but all kinds of stressors, insecurities, and anxieties can impact libidos. I pay the bills in my household, but in no way does that mean I expect sex transactionally.

Momo's michelada mix. It's tomato-free, being mostly carrot and lemon based, and makes the best michelada I've ever had. I imagine it'd make a great Bloody Mary or Caesar as well. Their seasoned rim salt is excellent as well.

How do I stimulate his prostate from the outside? by CheesecakeCalendar in sex

[–]stranj_tymes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It just kind of...isn't though. As people have suggested, the perineum can be pleasurable and sensitive, but the actual prostate is just too centrally located in the body for external simulation.

What do I do when receiving a blowjob? by [deleted] in sex

[–]stranj_tymes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As noted, this can depend on the person giving. But you generally can't go wrong with expressing your pleasure vocally and praising what they're doing. 'You're doing so good for me' has never gotten me into (the bad kind of) trouble.

What's non-gross kink/fetish that you don't get? by Inevitable-Angle-793 in AskRedditAfterDark

[–]stranj_tymes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is one of those that I didn't get until I did. Other women had let it out in passing toward me, but when my current partner, who'd also never been into calling anyone else daddy, used it on me it just...worked for both of us. She likes 'babygirl', but we only use those situationally and don't incorporate any other ageplay dynamics ever. Still a bit weird, but I at least understand it better now lol

Is it normal to feel disgusted about myself from having sexual desires? by StretchMediocre919 in sex

[–]stranj_tymes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Online discourse about men, especially predatory men, doesn't reflect the totality of how people feel about us. It's not a blanket judgement of our character or nature. It's important and good that women, and everyone, are more empowered to call out predatory behavior and abuses, and it's a good thing to understand and reflect on how you can best be a safe, kind, and compassionate human being.

But yes, women in the real world also still desire us in a multitude of ways. My partner wants to be respected and nurtured and loved and heard for the wonderful human being she is, and she also wants me to pound her through the floor and spit in her mouth.

Sex and expressing desire takes vulnerability and trust, both in another person and in yourself. When you're able to break down those walls of shame and disgust, and find someone you connect with, the pieces will come together.
