  • Prostate exams actually aren’t recommended for most people anymore. It turns out they weren’t great at catching prostate cancer anyways. Now they only recomend them if you actually have a family history of prostate cancer or other risk factors.

    But also I don’t think this is refering to pegging being a prostate exam. I’m fairly certain it’s refering to the fact that some studies have shown that regular prostate stimulation slightly reduces the risk of prostate cancer.




  • What’s insane about it? You eat food and your waste goes to the sewer. The garbage disposal does the same just without it passing through you. Also they’re only really used for scraps (egg shells, vegetable peels/trimmings, bits from rinsing dishes, etc) it isn’t like you’re dumping a whole plate of spaghetti down your sink. If you don’t have room for composting then the only alternative is throwing that stuff in the trash.











  • Honestly was in a somewhat similar situation with my best friend. They would be the one in your shoes except I’m the one with the house. We aren’t sharing a bed or having “not quite sex” but we are close enough and do enough “dating” activities togeather that most people think we’re dating and a few people still insist that what we’re doing is dating even when we both tell them that we aren’t. Your relationship is a bit closer so that will make things sting a bit more.

    The answer is to just talk to them. If you are comfortable enough to sleep with eachother then you should be comfortable enough to have difficult conversations. I would personally just start out by bringing up that you want to start dating again and ,while you don’t want to kick them out, sharing a bed isn’t going to work when you want to bring someone home.

    It’s going to sting for them; it did for me when my friend started dating again even when I knew us dating wasn’t going to happen. But, if they care about being your friend then, they’ll get over it; I did. Your relationship with them will change but not necissarily for the worse. Honestly I’m closer with my friend than ever. We’ve gone from being close best friends to practically being siblings. Hell, I’m closer with them than I ever was with any of my actual family. Yes we both date other people but that doesn’t mean we both don’t still share everything. Don’t try to put the relationship in a box. Be open and honest then just see how it grows/changes. At the same time, every relationship has boundries, don’t be afraid to set some.



  • The higher potassium does make some sense if you consider that most people already get excessive amounts of sodium in their diet and comparitively little potassium. Sodium is in practically everything, potassium not so much.

    I would personally love to find an electrolyte mix with more potassium because I’ve had issues with potassium deficiencies. Of course I’m not about to buy this garbage and I doubt the shitheel selling it put that much thought into it.



  • You’ve got to be absolutely loaded to sue a company as big as valve anyways. If you have enough money to sue valve then you easily have enough money to retain a local lawyer for it. Nobody is going to be taking an international corporation to small claims court.

    That requirement mainly strikes me as a way for them to avoid having people judge shopping for some texan christofacist judge who would immediately rule against valve because they see videogames as the work of satan or something. Locking you into using a specific court in a fairly liberal state avoids that issue. With the current state of the US judicial system I don’t blame them for wanting to know that they’ll have a sane judge.
