  • Yeah that’s what I figured but just wanted to get other opinions since its been most of the week. It wasn’t nearly this bad when I first started using the platform but I guess the “official reddit exodus” really took its toll even with the big server upgrades. I’m looking at other instances, but it seems like any instance that isn’t the big ten or so are pretty dead with very few communities. I also want to be federated with lemmygrad and not exploding heads and that seems kinda tough to find though I could stand to look harder.




  • I WENT ON MY FIRST BIKE PACKING TRIP IN THE SAN JUAN ISLANDS LAST WEEK! IT WAS SUPER BEAUTIFUL AND SUPER CHALLENGING BUT I FEEL LIKE SUCH A STRONG LIL GUY!!! I TRIED TO CONQUER THE CHAMBERS CLIMB BUT I WAS PUNISHED FOR TRYING!! HERE’S TO TRYING AGAIN AND AGAIN TIL I MAKE IT TO CREST WITHOUT GETTING OFF MY BIKE ONCE!!!

    I AM CHALLENGING MYSELF TO RIDE 1000 MILES BY THE END OF THE YEAR!! 929 TO GO!! I AM SCARED!!




  • First of all, bless you for having that mindset. I couldn’t possibly understand getting upset that you’d want to return the favor, or that you wanting to please her as well means that you didnt enjoy it.

    Do you offer because you’re turned on and genuinely want to make her feel good, or is your offer more based in the tit for tat mentality? Maybe it feels transactional to her if you always offer right after.

    If it does bother her so much, maybe you can talk about it and ask her to request it when she wants it if she doesn’t already . Or, instead of offering right after, save it for later and surprise her so that it doesn’t seem obligatory, is that is in fact her issue here.

    I guess another way to look at this is that you aren’t taking anything from her, she’s giving it to you, presumably because it makes her happy to please you. That can be satisfying in and of itself for the giver. I think communication about this stuff is key, just keep checking in here and there and enjoy





  • Lol aw man I’m definitely getting old; I remember when Skrillex came out and kinda ruined the genre tbh, it was so totally different when it first emerged, it actually sounded like dub. So I’m not familiar with any of those guys, they were after my time.

    I think it probably depends on the listener but yeah, if I try to listen to most mid 80s hip hop, it’s so rudimentary that it’s really hard for me to a tuslly get into. Like Run DMC, or NWA. I can get into NWA but the novelty runs out quickly so I can only listen to them very rarely. But there are a lot of newer bands that I hear and say “I’ve already heard x y and z do this better” so it’s hard to get excited about new stuff too. If you are a really avid music listener I think it has to take something exceptional coming out to really get impressed by
