Thank you, this is useful advice

(Not a woman): my partner does not like receiving oral sex or other kinds of sex where she is mostly passive/receiving, because she doesn’t like feeling put on the spot and obligated to react.

If your partner has been not getting much from sex for a long time now, then she is also probably feeling a lot of pressure to change and behave right and react as expected which would be not pleasant for her.

Maybe ask her if she wants to play a game where she reads a book out loud (sexy book or bit sexy book) or play a cozy video game or some other activity where you get to enjoy yourself playing with her body for potentially a long time, and she has something else to pay attention to besides her own sexual performance? That would probably also go well with deep toys on low power as well.

Just, maybe avoid Call of Duty for this one. It has to be a lazy activity she’s doing. If her attention is successfully diverted 100% to the point the sex is an irritating distraction then that’s not any fun for anybody

Headline says, “Flight 6 already tested” which is misleading until you read in the article it means static test.

only two flights, Flight 1 and Flight 4, have had engine outs on ascent. In fact, during all phases of flight for Flight 4, not a single Raptor shut down prematurely.

Contradiction, I think they mean flight 5 had no engine outs

I stopped reading here

Article seems to be full of typos that make the meaning unclear

What is the actual point of becoming a 1% co-owner of a rental house? Is this some kind of tax thing?

Now explain the passenger seat

That’s probably good advice but it’s about 15 years too late for me to use it :)

The way I use those words:

A reason is a cause for an event or a thought process that caused a decision.

An excuse is one of:

• a true reason why a person did a bad thing
• an explanation (true or false) why the cause of events or decisions was somebody else’s actions, not the speaker’s actions
• an explanation (true or false) pretending to be a reason, that isn’t actually the true cause of the event or decision

If I said, “don’t give me any of your excuses” to somebody, I would be meaning all of:

• something bad happened and I think it’s your fault
• I want you to agree with me that it’s your fault and accept blame
• I think you have a pattern of not seeing (or not admitting) that your actions cause bad things, and that’s happening again now

This is a bunch of very negative stuff to be meaning. It could be whoever said that is an asshole, blind, or unfair. If they treat everybody with negative shit like this that’s likely and there’s just no winning with such a person.

I actually have said stuff like “don’t give me excuses” to my kids. I think I’m not an asshole. When I said it, I thought my kid was flailing about doing dumb shit without thinking. What I meant for my kid was, “I want for you to start thinking about how a chain of events fits together, and I want you to accept you have the ability and the responsibility to see a bad outcome forming, and to take actions to make a better outcome instead.”

I bought my very own gas station squeegee at a car parts store . Life-changing events.

:(

I’m very ignorant here — what kind of discrimination in health care are we talking about? What does that look like, like the doctor just doesn’t take you seriously?

Campaign money goes where the votes go. Then government spending goes where the votes are.

You mean to say, power will be more evenly distributed per person instead of per acre?

I’m ok with this.
