Primary schooling was one of the worse experiences in my life, and I was lucky enough to go to private schools with good educational programs. Other than incarceration, it is one of the only times in your life that you are legally detained somewhere against your will.

Furthermore, the things we choose to teach are so far removed from practical life skills that it all feels like a performance that is leading to a brick wall in the end. The fact that there is no standard class for budgeting, cooking, taxes, job hunting, and basic home repair in school really shows how much they actually care about your future success.

School in America is a time suck for kids so their parents can work longer.

Have you considered a sex therapist? Sometimes they are better at hearing clues as to what the problem is since they have experience talking to a lot of couples.

It doesn’t have to be the kind you get naked in front of either, just an intimacy therapist that you can both safely describe your experiences to.

It may be more on her than on you. I can have trouble orgasming during sex, but it is largely because I don’t relax correctly in the moment. Too many thoughts about performing in my head combined with muscles that are too tensed.

Therapy has helped a lot more than any technique. If she wants to work on this for herself, maybe she should try it. If this is just your insecurity showing, you should probably drop it and help her finish off with toys.

Same as many instances: too few users with too much responsibility on one administrator. It eventually made more sense to have a film community rather than a film instance.

Or, just hear me out—you could throw the whole thing away and try to never think about the maggots again.

But…why did she do it?

As somebody who goes to Juarez several times per week and has also traveled extensively throughout Mexico, cartel violence typically does not reach the average tourist, just like how people who go to New York are unlikely to actually see the mob. I have experienced more hassle from police than gangs, and even that is usually a cursory questioning and pocket check for drugs.

15 years ago, there were some cities that were in the middle of organized crime wars, and sometimes things spilled over into public where civilians could get hurt. This created a lot of heat for the cartels, and more recently they have mostly been operating under the radar or in remote neighborhoods again.

The bigger risk than violence is kidnapping, but even that doesn’t tend to get aimed at the tourist population due to the international backlash it would cause.

If you keep your wits about you, travel in Ubers that you order rather than unmarked cabs, and don’t accept drinks from strangers, then Mexico can be a wonderful adventure. The Mexican people have been mostly extremely good to me, and I refuse to cut them off as dangerous just because the news tries to tell me so.

Found the Russian bot. /s

I tried it. Basically all the time. Turned out to be a nightmare pretty quick. Don’t recommend unless you have exceptional communication skills and a lot of self confidence.

But why did your parents have an underground Radon cavern?

As a kid, I would see hundreds of them around bushes and trees. Now I see one or two per summer.

But that’s all gods plan, right?

Because the requirements are different. Royalty inhabit places designed to last thousands of years (castles), and they are known to be dreadful to live in. Stone walkways and stairs wear and become uneven, shifting foundations create little gaps for drafts to flow in, modern conveniences are difficult to install, if possible at all.

It is better for living humans to inhabit spaces that can be replaced and updated over time. The dead need things to stay essentially the same, and they don’t wear down the areas they reside in.

Y’all are horrifying. That’s all I came here to say.

You are literally suggesting living in a tomb.

It’s odd to me that you choose Death Proof as your favorite when it is specifically an homage to those types of films rather than being a true low budget low quality release from the 70’s and 80’s.

Not sure if this helps, but e-sims are extremely cheap and can be set up on the go through an app these days. You could get a 5g plan in the area with bad internet and use it as a hotspot to download content to your other devices. I use Nomad, but there are a lot of providers with plans that are unlimited or pay by the gig—all affordable with time periods as short as 7 days.

A $10 solution, in a pinch, is a good choice.

Well what else are we going to do with all this corn, feed people? /s

Yeah, there isn’t even a need to move if you are American. Just start a religion based on your immortality, run for elected office, and then the whole system will be so confused that they’ll let you thrive as an immortal deity forever.

Just because you aren’t Beyoncé doesn’t mean you aren’t beautiful.
