Angel Mountain

I understand this makes you unsure, but I really think this would be a perfectly normal question to him: “Hey, I really enjoy your company, but I have noticed in the past with other Japanese friends that they sometimes have mistaken a hug for me asking for more. How do you see that?”

Especially with him being an older guy (which generally means a bit less insecure and more mature) I would expect this to be a good start for an honest conversation.

I hope it does work out the way you want!

Might sound like a crazy take, but if you just make sure you (only) do what you want and are clear about your intentions towards him, you should be fine.

If you want to have a drink from some casual company until you leave - do that.

If you want some steamy sexy time for one night and then leave - again, do that.

If you really like the guy and might actually consider some sort of longer relationship - guess what, do that.

Just be clear and honest, towards him and yourself. That way he can decide what he wants from you.

And as all engineers know: assumption is the mother of all f*ck-ups, so avoid those at all cost.

Your local Pirate Party and organizations like Bits of Freedom can help out.

I don’t really want to be filmed everywhere, especially when it’s later on broadcasted to the entire world. I want to be able to do stupid stuff without other people knowing.

Still better than using the same password everywhere and/or saving passwords in an unencrypted text file on your computer somewhere.

Just not very user friendly.

Went sailing for a day without any shirt on. Worst sunburn ever. Luckily we had to practice for a musical at school where we would put our arms around eachother at some point, i skipped that part for a bit.

You’re right, I’ll retract the recommendation 😉

I met my partner on an app relatively recently and would not have met them otherwise. It can be a way to meet interesting people that you would not easily come across otherwise.

But, there are some caveats.

I would recommend trying a few and finding one that fits your interests/people in your area actually use.

Also investigate what the apps do with your data. You are sharing some very personal/sensitive data with them. Make sure they take good care of it.

Some apps seem to be pay-to-win. Do keep that in mind. Also, do keep in mind you are in the minority as a guy. Don’t feel discouraged if it takes a long time to get any matches. I notice I can get somewhat addicted to scrolling through the apps and get discouraged when no one seems to like me. If that’s the case make sure to not open the app for a while and go outside.

I personally think Feeld is one of the least bad ones, because it is great for different kinds of relationships and that fits me well, as well as they seem to take somewhat value my privacy and data. I also tend to pay for apps I actually use, because when the product is free, I am the product. Remember these companies have costs as well.

Still, nothing beats starting conversations with people in real life. Just be friendly, open, interested and don’t expect anything from the other party straight away.

You’ll be fine!

Pretty sure all your electronics are imported from another country. That what the carrot is complaining about though, isn’t he?

I learned quite a lot of Norwegian by just beig in Norway for three months. I especially enjoyed watching television with the subtitles for the hearing impared turned on.

Another option that the pros (like politicians etc.) like a lot: Nonnen van Vught.

Using body wash in itself is not manly.

The grosest thing I’ve done is probably that time I had sex with someone who forgot to take out her moon cup after having her period. The smell was “not great”.

However, since it was a suprise for both of us it did not have this awful anticipation of having to do something disgusting. We just found out after the fact.

Another good contender was having to clean the shower in the morning after a drunk guy shit in it when we took him home the night before because he was laying in the street and not able to go home by himself.

Also very smelly.

The guy actually left the house before we woke up, but without his shoes. He also tried to access through the garden, even though that was a garden without access to the road. I still have no idea how he managed to get out of there. He never came back for his shoes. I wonder why!

Is this another pump 'n dump (or rather dump 'n buy a shitload and then change your mind again so the stock rises to the original level)?

You can’t hold 6 year old kids accountable for stupid stuff they do. I totally understand your feelings, but the best thing you can do is just do your best to be a nice person, instead of self-flagellation. So take care of others, but also of yourself. Only give when you have something to give, but also only take what you really need. The hurt and shame might stay, but try to nourish it. Us it as inspiration for being a good person from now on. Feed it with more self-punishment and it will only get heavier, like a stone arouns your neck that’s growing and pulling you under. Nobody will be happier when you drown, so don’t. Just do your best, that’s all you can do ❤️

It’s not much different from how humanity learned things. Always verify your sources and re-execute experiments to verify their result.

Speak up, tell people what you think and why.

If that doesn’t work: something was added to your constitution for this situation, the second amendment. You can use your six shooter to go up to the government’s tank and gunships. Good luck.

Willem-Alexander Claus George Ferdinand, koning der Nederlanden, Prins van Oranje-Nassau, jonkheer van Amsberg for instance does.

I would pay 10 bucks to use them in my survival kit as a fire starter.
