Two chicks at the same time, man

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago (1 children)

5 is the magic number (2 guys 3 girls) it turns and you can rely on your bro, 3 is just double work for you.

Or whatever you like, 5 girls would be awesome too. Or 5 guys I guess.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

3 girls and 6 guys. Every girl has 3 holes so it's perfect. Even more guys is possible if you count handjobs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Nah they'd just pair up, that's why 2 + 2 is boring 😁

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

So, cooking 2 chickens at the same time? Wild.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

When smoking meat, it makes sense to fill up the smoker.

You know it is not going to waste.

I let my ex peg me a few times, it was pretty rad.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

This is the spicy content I’m here for! (Butt stuff)

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Giving up. Just skipping straight to the end.

Sure seems like a lot less work and stress than what I've been doing.

But I think I'd miss my dogs way too much.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

They’d miss you too. Glad you’re sticking around, fellow human. 💙

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago

Thanks. I hope they never have to.

😄 It seems fitting that a person with your name would reply since this is pretty much how I get through things now.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 11 months ago

Retire and travel overseas. I'm getting older and neither of those things feel achievable.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ha, just last night I had a dream I was charged in error 600 bucks for a fancy cherro from a coffee shop that didn't sell coffee (which I ordered not to be awkward) after I ran my card, and they refused to fix the error and kicked me out. The dream ended with me throwing a brick through their window display.

Irl though, where would I find a spare brick in this economy?

Nope. Just generic murder.

[–] janus2 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

same. I've come to recognize the i-get-so-angry-i-do-a-random-dream-character-murder dreams as stress dreams, just like teeth falling out, or driving and suddenly no brakes

always feels really icky tho

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Glad I’m not the only one. Never feels good, but it would be even scarier if it did feel good.

[–] janus2 2 points 11 months ago

yeah. primate brains, amirite?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (2 children)

Publishing my book. I always think, "some day, I'm going to take the time to edit it and make it good enough to publish, and people will love it." Then I go back to it and remember that it's terrible and massively overwrought. I can't even finish it much less make it good. And it's like a dam in the creative part of my brain. I can't think of another thing that isn't just a lesser version of the project I thought was good but isn't.

This isn't me trolling for encouragement. I'm not a writer, and I know I don't have the focus or stamina to write professionally. This was a dalliance, and I'm happy with my life and my accomplishments. It's just that every once in a while, I think about publishing a book.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

My lil bro is in the same situation sort of, so I drew a first page for his book to encourage him, we'll see how it'll turn out. Thing is we don't care if it works or not, we'll print a handful for the fun and that's it. I mean if ever it happens.

Then, who knows, maybe he'll start writing like crazy or IDK.

You like writing? Write. Rewrite your stuff, even if it doesn't "fit" some book size, do a novel! 200 pages and it became a condensed 12 pages nobody wants to pay for? Good for you anyways. Drop what you're doing and write something else. There is no one looking down on you in the evening keeping check of if you have "advanced".

Cheers and hope you're finding the next line or new line!

Having housing security.
Renting means never having any, being disabled and on benefits means never being able to afford anything else.

Me at 4am laying in bed thinking about exactly how I’m going to divvy up the $100M I’m left with after taxes in an imaginary lottery win

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Knowing my luck I'd win the lottery where they stone you to death for winning.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I won once.

-"Genie, when I used my wish and did win the lottery, I was thinking of like the lottery where you win a lot, not any lottery."

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

You've said the word "lottery". I am now obligated to mention that one thread where someone details exactly why you shouldn't win the lottery, and what to do in the unfortunate event that you do.

Sorry for linking to the hard-r.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Going to space! I'm disabled so it's highly unlikely that I would be able to, even if it was commercially available.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

My ex again

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Well.. I wouldn't say dreaming as in "it's a dream of mine". But I have imagined myself from time to time to just drop everything on the spot and travel in one direction just to see where I end up.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Join another band. I don't have the energy or the motivation I had when I was younger anymore, I know it's never going to happen again. I'm just hoping I can get myself to a place where I'm playing my drums regularly again someday.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

I feel this. I miss the creative outlet but I just don't have the time or motivation to join or start another band, or deal with shitty band mates BS for that matter. Playing regularly by myself is fine but it's just not the same.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Move overseas. I'm not totally certain, but pretty damn close. If I was going to, I could've after Trump became pres. Now I'm probably going to stick it out, even if things get bad.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I have a business idea. I'm guessing it would take a quarter billion dollars and 3 - 5 years in strict stealth to get it off the ground, without getting sniped by a massive entity like Amazon (provided there's real value in the idea). And if it were successful (and didn't alienate its potential customers) it would still have razor thin margins that would probably mean finding investment really tough.

Its never going to happen and I still don't want to talk about details, just in case.

Paragliding

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Driving. I gave it up long ago, but nobody told Dreamland that it seems.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Driving a truck. I enjoy driving and have fantasies about having a job without the complex social/emotional component that mine does. But in reality I think I'd be bored.

Saying a cool line while defending from a home invader.

I live in the UK so having a gun is out of the question. The closest thing I could get to a defense weapon is either a kitchen knife or a golf club so I'd really like to make a pun involving whatever I'm using while defending my home.

It may sound kinda dumb, but I think it would make for a funny story!
