This is obvious to most queer people, but might be counter-intuitive at first. So let me explain.

Any large gathering of people is likely to lead to adults hooking up. This is a fact of life, especially when alcohol is involved.

Having a convenient way to know your status onsite is a great way to allow consenting adults to make informed decisions about their sexual health, especially if they’re not generally promiscuous and aren’t in the habit of getting tested regularly.

This is brilliant, and more places need to copy this. There are massive outbreaks of STDs, and the demographics are changing in a very concerning way for new segments of the population, but particularly women in the UK and women in the US.

Straight men are also very much at risk as schools de-emphasize sex ed, or never taught it well. Regardless of your orientation, you and your date(s) should be getting tested regularly, and wearing protection is always a good idea. If you are doing sexual tourism with multiple people, you can get on a medicine called PrEP that will dramatically reduce your chance of getting HIV as long as you consistently take it. Outside of terrible bloodborne Pathogens like hepatitis C and HIV, there are a number of STDs that can cause organ damage, even if you are man. Many are fully curable, but they must be caught before they start doing organ damage.

This place looks like a wizard boss fight location for a big d&d campaign. Sad it's gone.

Vertical paint/plastic bollards don't work terribly well, but concrete barriers, speed bumps, and elevated crosswalks do. More expensive per kilometer, but significantly safer and also has a calming effect for pedestrian safety, too.

Looks pretty good, though the lack of particle effects is a bit odd. There are no decals from skidding tires either. Perhaps just alpha footage.

War is a terrible thing. Entire generations of teens and men are lost. It's why Putin's war is unbelievably wasteful. There was no reason to fight, he just did it to keep unrest down. People like him are monsters.

You gotta use washcloths or scrubbers on your body! In conjuction with soap, that will help remove dead skin, dirt, sweat, etc.

Towels one week. Bedding and pillow cases every two weeks. Pillows every 3 to 6 months, or if they start to smell kinda musty, whichever comes first. A little bleach helps keeps my bedding and towels super clean.

Ubisoft left steam? Didn't even know it, their games have gotten terrible reviews for so long, and their uplay platform is so shitty, I have skipped them until they fixed their game dev or cancelled uplay, haha.

Russia is just pushing their thoughts and beliefs on poorer countries to radicalize them and extract wealth from them, whether that's politcal capital for stuff like UN votes, or raw materials and valuable resources. I wouldn't be surprised if they started building them ports and railyards with financial strings attached to help them funnel resources towards Russia. Instead of more valuable things like schools, hospitals, and sewage treatment facilities in impoverished areas.

Which is already 100 times as powerful as morphine, which is already super strong.

They don't really make much of a difference, imo. There are wearable products out there that can add a texture difference, but they are incompatible with condoms if you are trying to reduce the risk of STDs.

That said, there are many ways to spice up sex in new and fun ways, even outside of condom choice :)

Even just food aside, we use so much plastic for things like LED light bulb packaging, toys, packing materials like bubble wrap and air bags, monobags for clothes, plastic shrink wrap or uncuttable plastics at hardware stores, markets, etc.

Like, outside of sterile single use plastics for keeping needles clean at the doctor, and maybe certain biohazards like raw meat juice, we don't really need most plastics in consumer applications. Balsa wood, cardboard, metals, glass, rubber, paper, and waxed paper can do much of the heavy lifting.
