Rode a few when in my teens.

Amazing. A most probably lonely creature trying to bond with a creature similar to them. I’m stunned. /s

Awkward teens and dirty old men?

Not to be taken as lube.

That advertisement would never be approved today.

My desire to express how that little snippet of dialogue hit me through a visual cue is overwhelming…

Are we going to discuss sexual dynamics next?

Women don’t usually need to flaunt their sexual availabilty in order to be approached by men.

But I’ll risk that many guys getting that straightforward approach would be really happy to have it.

This is some incel-level shit here.

First time I get that remark…

Funny enough, growing up I got tired of hearing women complain their husbands/boyfriends/partners/men in general would always prioritize their own pleasure and pressure to have their interests fullfilled in detriment of the womans needs and expectations.

The dude is actively offering to pleasure the girl. Yes, she is in all of her right to refuse him and his advances, but damn, he is trying to be a bit considerate.

He could just go straight to the point and say he wanted to jump in her pants and be a complete idiot in doing so.

He isn’t asking directly. I’m going to be the devil’s advocate and say the guy is willingly taking the longer route to the girls favours, by putting her pleasure ahead of his.

It sounds considerate, to say the least.

We don’t need more luxury cars. We need good quality, affordable, cars.

If made in Europe, even better.

That’s cruel.

The dude is quite literally offering to give the girl some head.

He’s not asking for sex - directly! - just stating his willingness and eargness to give his potential partner a really good time.

I’m confused.

Fine. We’ll go for the tarantula sized T-Rex.

No. Go away, spend the money, do the research, build better cars. In fact, since we are at, try and make a car for the modern age of mobility.

Too little, too late. The EU will take over now

Can I be a T-Rex sized tarantula or a tarantula sized T-Rex?

As someone who is currently working at a company that has no problems of cash flow yet is still penny pinching, often on things that would actively save costs after an initial serious investment, yes, I would not change and most probably burn through that money to do positive things for people.

I also have a tendency to look as how things might happen down the road, so time is not really that much of a concern for me.

With so much money at my discretion, I can say with a fair degree of confidence I’d been putting money into projects amd initiatives I would most probably never benefit from their results.

But would I be popular or well liked in that endeavour? I seriously doubt.

Hey Satan, nice to hear from you! Welcome to the chat!

I’m all over the board.

The biggest problem with trees is that the real carbon sinkholes are old growth trees and to achieve that it takes decades.

Trees are the best solution available, the cheapest and with the most lateral benefits One, because they actively capture carbon throughout their entire lifespan. Two, because unless some idiot decides to burn a forest for the fun of it, a dead tree does not release the carbon back to the atmosphere but instead it enters the life cycle as the wood degrades by fungi, insect and other plants action.

I live in a formerly heavily forested area and currently the cleared dead wood or underbrush that can become a fire hazard is not longer burned but instead it is chipped and spread on the ground. This is starting to heavily influence the soil, that is becoming more organically rich and retain more water, which in return is helping trees to grow back to where they belong, rebuilding ecosystems.

Algae do, in fact, per unit of mass, take up more carbon but algae in return inject oxygen into the water, which heavily disrupts the chemical balance. Managing water based organic vectors is also a lot more complex than just planting and tending large areas of land to allow forest growth.

Ideally, we should be seeing all available carbon harvesting methods and technologies being heavily incentivized, subsidized and implemented.

And now I feel in the obligation of writing a bit of smut with monopoly as the kickstarter.

When things get dire, I use vapor with some mint or eucaplitus oil added to the boilling water. It tends to ease things.
