Unfortunately this same thing can happen if you go out for particularly long dance outings, for similar reasons of excessive stimulation. Most Friday night or weekend dances are 2.5-3 hours and I have been to special events as long as 4+ and this can get physically demanding. Having the urge can happen in this setting. And obviously it's awkward if you are going to be around hot girls. But there's no good solution for it so far - and of course these places also don't have showers at all as some gyms do. Best I can do is use cologne and have changes of clothes. I don't use coffee because it's at night and I don't want to be up all night. I don't want to use alcohol to calm down after because the sleep quality will be shite not to mention that arguably any alcohol use is a terrible long term choice. It's a conundrum...

I am. Since my injury I gained weight and that was on top of already having gained weight since 2022. My goal is to take off 10 lbs by summertime so that I'm closer to beach physique. That's ambitious but very possible.

Powell will go down in history as the Fed chair who turned the US dollar into toilet paper, but he had lots of help from the Uniparty in DC and their deficit spending orgy of the past few years, not to mention our many misadventures overseas. What a disaster.

Yes image hosting is not exactly cheap... I would pay for certain features on Nostr though, the platform is worth it, but the issue as always is making sure Nostr as a whole doesn't become a pay to play thing like in Big Tech.

It appears to be vibe-coded by Chinamen from the SEZ: https://github.com/CodyTseng/jumble/blob/master/README.md Note Cody Tseng and Claude contributed recently... Don't know if he's active on here but the vibe-coding might explain the clients acting strangely lately, including Amethyst which is currently bricked.

Definitely. It is not working properly at all. Often it does not load posts from people I am following either.

He posted this because he knew I had a crush on her. But some Free Palestine Bro got there before me. SAD indeed !

On Amethyst, I saw almost no updates from some of those I follow over the past 24 hours, but on Jumble they all appeared at once.

Sarmatia became Slavdom ... Supposedly the Scythians and Sarmatians spoke Iranic languages, but I wonder if this was mere elite dominance and that Slav-speaking populations were always there. The theories of the origin of Slavs postulating that they appeared out of nowhere in history never made much sense.

I blocked Cortes because literally all of his posts are variations on generic right wing grifter memes. I miss Galen; he was mentally deranged but at least he had interesting content within the health, fitness, nutrition, etc niche.

My experience with Russia was that it ranged from relatively nice to pretty run down. There are cities that look like the scene on the right. But there are also ones that are much better than that. I don't doubt most of China looks more up to date though; the Chinese went on a manic building binge from the 1980s to the 2010s. Even with the real estate sector of their economy melting down since 2021 there are still countless almost-new properties all over the country.
