| My man-plumbing didn't fully start working until I was 17. My "type" was established between 5 and 8 years of age (it may have stemmed from my gazing at Linda Ronstadt album covers, being in a Hispanic majority area or a combination of the 2). About 10-11 years though I had a fleeting hard... |

| Let the NT world wallow in The Matrix and their blue-pill sense of fulfillment. Take what you already know and stack it with what you learn every day. If you have a hyperfocus on playing an instrument, give yourself a good hour hands-on every day, no more, no less. Even (ESPECIALLY) on those days wh... |

| In regards to improving social skills and dating prospects, in my own personal experience it does tend to give off a higher dividend of confidence the more I venture a bit more out of my comfort level. I am not fully "there" yet but since the time a couple of years ago when I felt "si... |

And its tough trade off: the economic growth vs history. I recently read accounts by a prominent person about how all of the Nazi death camps in eastern... |

| When you (collectively or hypothetically) get so fed up with the gaslighting, the minimizing, the invalidation, the condescension, the general travesty of what constitutes society. It is such a slippery slope to avoid pulling a Jim Gordon (session musician, most notably worked with Eric Clapton as D... |

Even if OP chooses not to drive, a license is still preferable over a regular ID, some places (stupid, I know) will refuse to accept tenants or even rent out motel rooms on the b... |

| If you spend a lot of time on Youtube you'll probably get it easier. For me, most of the time when having to listen to someone or seeking data, I tend to run at 1.25 or 1.5. When it comes to completing a task I set out to, or something where I'm in my Zone, it gravitates toward 1.5, or usually avera... |

| Ironic as it is, as a musician that has played to crowds of about 2000, I have issues with most live sound mixes. The other day I had the good fortune of attending a TSO show. I have to admit, for as many vocalists and musicians (and I was about maybe less than 10 meters from the stage) the sound le... |
