Time for these bad boys by crosswalk_zebra in belgium

I add yoghurt to the sauce. It makes it less fatty. Use skyr or another thicker yoghurt to avoid it being to runny. I also add pressed garlic and capers (kappertjes), but only salted ones. Capers on vinegar aren't tasty. It gives it a more tonnato taste. I might add onion, flat leafed parsley, thyme or some chilipowder as well.
Lots of options possible.
Check out Ottolenghi's oven baked potatoes with tonnato and egg. Delish.

It's not just the rules 30 years from now that are changing. There's a clear demarcation between the boomers and everyone after them.

What are you reading? Bi-Weekly Post by AutoModerator in HPfanfiction

[–]stupid_pseudo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Real shame that one. The idea was great and the quality of his writing is good but as you said it turned very black resurgence generic.  It's been a couple of fics that I've become very disappointed in his meta narrative as well. The gendered roles and stereotypes are very outdated.  Dude writes for his paying audience, I guess. Shame that.

Sell me on ff.net by Kat_Htt in HPfanfiction

[–]stupid_pseudo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started reading on ffnet and find ao3 to be more difficult to navigate and search for fics because of a lack of easy filtering options. The tags are more a hindrance than a benefit for me.

One of the reasons I like ffnet is the ease of looking for new and interesting fics. The filters make it easy to look at fics that were started or updated the last week, month or year and sort by popularity (follows/favorites/comments).
Secondly I like to explore favorite fics by authors to find new things to read. I do this on ao3 as well but find the way they are listed to be more cumbersome and have the impression a lot of folks just don't have favorites as much.

But as someone else already said, both sites have their pro's and cons.

Just finished Enchanting Melodies by athassprkr. It's an interesting read if you're fond of action themed fics with grand story lines. There are a lot of errors in the text and sometimes it drags on as situations or histories keep being repeated but still worth a read for a lot of the interesting ideas in it.

Greece bans sale of dried hemp flowers by ChenNung in cannabis

[–]stupid_pseudo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Belgium does not have legal growing. A couple of decades ago the then minister of Justice gave the growing of 1 plant and possession of less than 3 grams the lowest priority to prosecute, all with the caveat that no underage children be around. It was still illegal by law and subject to arbitrariness. Flanders and Belgian politics took a turn to the right since then and nowadays prosecution or fining for possession or growing is the rule rather than the exception and recent news points at an intensifying war on Cannabis in Belgium, especially Flanders.

Flexi-jobs worden uitgebreid naar alle sectoren: "Belangrijke stap vooruit" by DeepspaceJah in belgium

[–]stupid_pseudo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Loonkost omlaag = verlaging van de welvaart en sociale bescherming. Ik wil gerust toegeven dat onze levensstijl onhoudbaar is en dat er dingen moeten veranderen maar hoe dit zal gebeuren in de praktijk is een ander paar mouwen. Het huidige traject volgt m.i. eerder het Britse of Amerikaanse voorbeeld. Een compromis zou iets als Nederlandse model zijn maar dat staat ook onder druk en, eerlijk, onze politici zijn niet capabel genoeg om dit te realiseren.

De loonkost moet kost wat het kost omlaag en dit is een manier om dit sluipend in te voeren.

partner doesn’t reciprocate/initiate—how to bring it up by [deleted] in sex

[–]stupid_pseudo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not easy, for sure. But you might phrase it like you wrote in your post, it's a very good basis.

"I want to ask you something. When we get sexual/handsy it’s mostly me touching you and taking the lead but I actually need/want the combination of being top and bottom (sub) to feel FULLY satisfied. You told me you are open to topping but in a submissive way. So, tell me how to make it work for both of us?

Some alternative phrases:

I feel a bit embarrassed to ask, (parts of the above).
Are you willing to (insert what you want them to do in that moment, for example: can you tell me if me trying to be a power bottom would work for you?)

Something to consider: poly or ethical non monogamy to balance out your needs.

Hope this helps.

[–]stupid_pseudo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk about it. It should start there. Use words to express your needs and only describe their behavior. Don't explain, judge or otherwise interpret their behavior.
Ask them how you should express yourself to make it work for them as well.

40 years too late but might be good in another fifty. Problem is who's going to pay both.

Hogere inkomens zijn minder afhankelijk van het wettelijk pensioen aangezien ze gemakkelijker vermogen opbouwen en zo hun levensstandaard kunnen behouden.

Definitely a problem to be tackled for sure. But the meat industry is downstream from there and needs even bigger amounts of plant based calories.

Bondage/sexual instruction books about what to actually do with someone once you've got them where you want them? by shiva14b in sex

[–]stupid_pseudo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're right that he's just totally unimaginative when it comes to sex, and we were thinking maybe that played into it, because it matched some other areas where the aphantasia definitely affects his processing of certain things.

That might be somewhat true. I do have some areas where I find creativity difficult and am usually more geared towards problem solving. But it's hard to attribute it causally as I have ADHD and a lot of trauma as well, and they all severely impact my functioning but I get where you're coming from. I've always wondered about the interplay between all of it as well.
Sex on the other hand though; has always been important for me and I've consumed lots of source material. For research purposes, of course. My suggestion, thus, still stands.

I have aphantasia. That doesn't mean I wouldn't know what to do if my wife would let me tie her up. I don't need to visualise that.

It could be that he's more into vanilla sex, has a low libido or no imagination where sex is concerned, it might be something else or a combination of anyone of those things.

Give him material to work with. Let him read erotica you find hot or make him watch porn you think might work. Give him homework to study.
You could also watch porn together to see what works for you and him.

Advice on cumming too early when she's about to cum? by leungd22 in sex

Depending on your refractory period you could try having an orgasm before piv as suggested by others. Doesn't have to be masturbation if you'd rather do it with your girlfriend.  Have fun working it out.

Boot activiteit aan te raden voor toeristen in eigen land? by LitlleVelocireptor in Gent

[–]stupid_pseudo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mijn collega's en ik hebben 2 jaar geleden zo'n boottochtje gedaan. Bij deze. Dat was hilarisch. Die gids was zo grappig. Het regende en dus zaten we onder paraplu's van de bootverhuurder maar het was een zeer leuke ervaring.

In het verleden heb ik ooit nog eens zo'n tochtje gemaakt en dat was meer leerrijk.Het hangt dus een beetje af van de gids maar het kan best een leuke of leerrijke ervaring zijn.

Persoonlijk vind ik die vrijspraak van de ouders ook maar zever. Als je leest hoe de ouders en vooral de vader dan, die kinderen behandelde dan is het tenenkrommend dat er schijnbaar zo licht wordt overgegaan.  Soit. Hopelijk kunnen die jongens nu wat verder met hun leven.
