And is it Hexenbär or Sechsbär?

Made an account to upload an MP4 from my phone to share. My wifi connection is fine, but it loads extremely slowly and gets to around 0.8% uploaded and then just says "unknown error".

Is this normal? Do people not use TankieTube like this and everyone just imports things from YouTube? Or is it just my phone.

Basically I want some free ( both as in beer and freedom) stuff and plenty of it.

So yaa, how do you like balance work-life-balance and interests. I'm considering a job or however to put it that is known for awful work-life-balance, but is also incredibly interesting, but I'm not sure if it's worth it😩

Like I do want to get married and have a family and such at some point, but that is in no way guaranteed, especially not considering my circumstances, meanwhile focusing on career seems more safe I suppose😵‍💫

So far historically it was "they're not Christians", then it was "wrong location" (cause they wanted the land/resources), then it was "they're not the right race", then it was "wrong economic system", and now it's "wrong culture"; what's next do you think?

EDIT: By justifiable I don't mean it's actually justifiable, I mean most people will consider it justifiable.

I've noticed this on books, paper packaging, and clothes — anything that will absorb an odor, basically. Is this some sort of chemical treatment they use in warehouses, or... ?

I'm a neurodivergent, asocial person. Always have been. Though i still have had a few friends during my life. I managed to get by for a while with just the 2-3 people I talk to, but recently I've started to get really lonely. The way i've made friends in the past has been someone approaching me, not the other way around though. I don't know how to make friends/acquaintances with other people on my own. Me growing up with the internet probably played a role in my lack of real life social skills, i'm guessing

I've done lots of radical body positivity and like my body when fat. But I can't bring myself to like fat on my face.

I grew up not liking my face. When I look in the mirror, I sometimes try imagining the Fallout 4 video game menu where you have to customize a face in fine pixels. Most people's natural faces in real life would look stellar in the game. Natural-looking is simply stellar in Fallout.

This method seems to stop working for me when I notice the fat on my face. It makes me sad.

I'm a little unclear on how the furry identity works. Is it like an LGBT+ thing where you just are this thing regardless of your feelings or desires, or does wanting to be a furry make you one? Like, I've fought against being trans much of my life, but now I see I pretty much always was. But I don't know if liking the puppygirl idea makes me a furry, or if that's something I have to have always been? (this is not a reaction to a recently popular puppygirl, I've meant to ask this for a while) I also may be terribly misunderstanding furries; that's a taboo subject where I live, so I don't know much.

This is not a bit. Dead serious. There is a luxurious hotel suite for a long weekend with whatever food, treats, toys and equipment you both request.

They are you from another reality where some mundane event is slightly different on the other side of the solar system yet to reach us. They are not a clone or time traveller. Everyone goes back to their own reality at the end. They are you with all of the benefits no complications or ethical questions.

And just in case no they cannot be gender swapped. (Curious why you might ask this? Hmm)

Do you have sex?

You can do other stuff of course if so comment. I love my ace comrades.

I just had to sit through an hour long presentation at my workplace by a top manager at a privatized public utility. This Boston Consulting-bred mf who probably makes six figures was talking about "reshaping the cost base" as a euphemism for major job cuts, while in the same breath bragging about being acquired by a Private Equity firm. He literally had a fucking bullet point about a highly unionized workforce being one of the main challenges facing the company.

I was struggling to even sit still, it was maddening. I made an effort to contain the rage, but even the few angry comments I made about it afterwards with my colleagues seemed to fall on deaf ears. I might have already jeopardized my job if rumor of them reaches the wrong people. Unfortunately my rent doesn't pay itself, and this is a relatively good job as far as they go.

How do you deal with the rage? How do you manage the anger internally when expressing it might genuinely lead to losing your job? I really tried to keep my mouth shut today, and I still kinda failed.

TrueAnon girl ghosted me

But yeah she plays DE. What should I'd do? Should I ask her what her copotype is?

I promise I'm not doing a bit, this actually happened.

Recently got prescribed 10MG by my doctor because he thinks my anxiety is affecting my hypertension. Been about a month now and it seems like it's maybe working, my BP is down. So far no side affects, my Doc said it could affect my libido or even give me ED, but so far I can still... uhhh... do the deed just fine. Also no weight gain, if anything I've lost a few pounds.

Idk just curious people experiences.
