Honestly, at this point, the only reason to go with either ecosystem is that Android, for now, allows you to escape Google, to some degree depending on how much work you’re willing to put in. IOS/apple doesn’t allow that

But, Google is trying hard to get to the same place.

But, ignoring that, apple got there first. That’s what it amounts to. The first real smart phone was by Apple, and that gave them a leg up

Honestly, cold water is fine, even that cold.

Here’s why. First, your bungholio is one of the hottest spots on body, so while there might be a moment of surprise if the water is really cold, it will only be a moment. Then, the anus and gluteal fold aren’t particularly temperature sensitive. Pressure, yes. But temperature, they just don’t pick up that kind of sensation as well as even the glutes themselves. Test it some time. A splash of cold water on you butt cheeks compared to your butt hole, it just won’t bother you as much on the hole.

Also, depending in how your bidet is set up, you might not ever get warm water at all. There are definitely bidets that warm the water in the bidet, but most of them just run a pipe to the pipes under a sink or wherever. Which means the warm water has to come from the heater, through the pipes, and to your poop-pipe. It only takes a few seconds for the majority of a healthy poo’s worth of residue to be gone. Even less healthy, or unhealthy poos won’t take minutes of time.

So, you end up with your end only experiencing the cold anyway, unless you run it to get it warm before sitting down. Which isn’t a good idea for other reasons, what with the water being a mini fountain.

Plus, the cool water feels nice.

I have no clue who you are, or what your beef is, but you get your wish on the blocking angle, you won’t have to deal with me again

Could be.

There are plenty of people that do masturbate in their sleep, and it’s more common during puberty.

However, most wet dreams are generated without manual stimulation. Typically, it’s a combination of the stimulation of the genitals against clothing, or bedding with the brain’s ability to process those signals into something else and match it up with whatever dreams are ongoing.

In some cases, it doesn’t even need any physical stimulation at all. The brain can do all the work, so just the bare minimum stimulation from the aroused genitals just being there is all it takes to generate orgasm.

The pumping of blood, minor muscle tension and movements are all it takes when the brain is doing its thing.

Matter of fact, it’s possible to have a hands free orgasm while awake for the same reason, though it takes practice.

And who the fuck are you, trying to be a dick for no good reason?

Technically, five days, though it was barely over the line.

I was hallucinating by the end of it. It was intentional, one summer during high school, just to see what it would be like.

It be like something I’ll never do again. Took me weeks to feel right again

Tbh, at this point, there’s no tl;dr that’s realistic, and everyone has kinda covered it so well in the past that my best advice is to scroll back through this C/ and find the previous posts. It really has been done to death.

I think I’ve given my synopsis of it maybe three or four times, and those versions are likely better than what I could come up with again.

You would contact long of the private security firms. Probably something like Northbridge.

Basically, those companies hire ex military and ex LEO, get them reoriented for security qork and farm them out.

A good deal? Depends too much on the threat profile, how big a team you need, how many areas they’ll need to cover, how much you travel, etc. But expect to be paying out the nose.

Back when I did super low end security, as in being an obvious bodyguard to deter idiots, my rate was per event, as in you’d pay me to stand there at a party and make sure you weren’t fucked with, then I left at the end of an agreed on span of time. A grand would be the norm for me back then.

Someone doing something under contract for someone like a singer, and doing essentially the same thing, you might bring in 50-60k a year, depending on where you are. Higher than that for high profile clients, or with a lot of travel involved. That pricing is pretty old though, so don’t try and go negotiating a contract with that info.

Someone that’s doing real security work? One person might have a base salary in the 100k range, depending. Someone with some serious credentials like having a background in government security, special forces and the like can go higher.

Generally, if your security detail is taking a bullet, they fucked up. They will, at least in theory. Individuals may or may not actually do so, but they hire people partially based on their willingness to take decisive action like taking a hit.

The few times I was in contact with people like that, they tended to be batshit fucking crazy enough to take a bullet for some rich asshole.

A CEO like that dickweed? Probably has a half dozen people in rotation at most, no ability to control everything, and may or may not be able to afford the hard core people that are out there in that field. That’s going to run a fucking big expense per year. Not something they’d be paying out of pocket, even with the kind of salaries they get. If they want the kind of team that can handle even the unrealistic threats, you’re looking at a million dollar contract, easy. That’s going to be handled through their company, unless the company has an internal security department.

The goal of a security team at that scale is to predict possible attacks, plan for them, and prevent them.

The attack Mr Mangione is accused of, the CEO didn’t have serious security, or the shooter couldn’t have gotten that close. The client would have had meat all around him, watching for anyone moving into their defined perimeter. They’d have seen someone moving the way the shooter was, and at least have fouled the shot.

The CEOs out there now have whined and moaned into better security. Folks that have kept an eye on such things aren’t seeing major activity from any of the big names in private security though. Frankly, they don’t need top end protection.

Calibre is the answer to pretty much all ebook questions, including this one.

Ngl, marmite + banana seems dubious. I’m typing this, then I’m going to go try a bite of banana with dot of marmite to see.

Will edit in my impression.

Edit: no bananas, my kid is a monkey, will check in later

Eh, a ponytail is easy.

But, yeah, back in my younger days when I let it stay loose when I wasn’t at work, and now when I’m feeling all sexy, it can get in the way of things.

Less now, what with the balding, but still.

Tbh though, the only time I ran into heavy infiltration while eating was when there was a lot of air movement. Since neither my Jr high or high school was air conditioned, that was pretty much all warm days, and the cold days where they needed air flow. Those ceiling fans could move.

I have fairly straight hair once it’s past shoulder length, so that might help. It’s super fine though, so it doesn’t take much to get it moving.

My beard doesn’t get in the way at all. My mustache, however, when I let it reach soup strainer length and don’t use wax or balm, sandwiches are a laugh :)

Bots.

Some instances will auto-sub to new communities. It helps make sure everyone can reach everyone. Nobody on one instance can “see” the new community until someone goes there the first time, so the bots just sub in and it’s handled.

At least, that’s the explanation I’ve seen when this has vibe come up before.

Hell yeah :)

That’s fucking awesome. I don’t know y’all, but that put a smile on my face, because every win against cancer is a beautiful thing. Here’s to y’all having a long and happy life!

Well, that amount of deviled eggs is weird.

That being said, there’s some differences involved.

Moisture, size, seasoning, and chewability.

Deviled eggs have the dryest part removed and moistened. This makes eating two of them easier than the whole egg would be.

With the addition of moisture comes the ability to chew the result easier, so you don’t look like an idiot while eating. You don’t have to take a bite and roll it around your mouth while trying to get it into small enough pieces, mixed with saliva so you can swallow.

The seasoning comes in by making it taste like something you want to savor, to keep in your mouth longer.

And, since they’re half an egg, they can be popped in all at once, or in two clean bites, without spilling fragments. In either case, you aren’t sitting/standing/dancing/masturbating holding a partly eaten egg in your hand as long. This means that it looks like you’re eating less than you are, even when having the equivalent of a half dozen eggs. So it doesn’t register as someone eating six eggs, it registers as someone snacking casually.

Okay, I have to make a few assumptions to come at this.

First, that because you’re using English, you’re going to be most interested in an answer framed about the systems of the countries where English is a, or the, main language used.

Second, that you don’t want a shit ton of detail, because you otherwise would have looked possibilities up yourself, because there’s character limits.

Third, that because you asked here, that you don’t want a pile of links (which I’m rarely willing to do nowadays anyway).

So, here’s my general purpose answer within those assumptions, which means precision and accuracy aren’t 100% a factor. None of this applies everywhere.

So, we gotta start with trials. A trial assumes a state, as in a government of some kind. Could be as small scale as a clan or tribal council, could be as big as a nation.

If you don’t start there, it gets crazy trying to fill in.

A trial, by definition, is when the body of the populace (the state), regardless of the organization of that populace, accuses someone of having violated the rules of that body. It’s the “state” saying : you did this, and the individual or group saying “nuh-uh”.

That’s the gist of what criminal justice is.

By the nature of such a thing, you have to have a way of deciding what is and isn’t okay during the trial, and you have to decide who determines the outcome. In monarchies, or feudal systems, it would be whatever ruler is in charge, though they may delegate that decision (as in a crown prosecutor, and judges)

Point being that a trial is inherently adversarial. It’s an accusation against a person or persons, and them having to refute that.

In order to bypass that, you have to eschew any organization of people at all. It’s person vs person, no trials, they hash their shit out. Which is still adversarial, but we have to limit this.

So, there’s always sides when there’s a disagreement. It’s unavoidable. If the state says you did it, and you say you didn’t, and you’re allowed a defense at all, the only question is what sides do what, with what resources. A panel of judges is just as adversarial in practice.

When did that start? At least as far back as written history. It’s a dilemma that’s human. You ever have a sibling or other relative say you did something? If you didn’t do it, or you don’t want to admit you did, until that issue is resolved, shit is unpleasant.

If it’s your siblings, mom and/or dad make the decision, fairly or unfairly.

In a bigger group, it might be the elders, or whatever. Accusations of wrongdoing require resolution for a harmonious group.

When decisions are made by a single individual, like a king, you have to rely on that king being smart, fair, and even handed, as well as wise in handing out resolutions.

So, people all around the world have rules for that.

A lot of the kind of rules you’ll find in the US, Canada, Australia, and places that used to be owned by the British Crown, follow rules that originated as British law. Not every detail, see the initial assumptions and disclaimers already made. But, as a broad thing, the body of law built up in England heavily influenced law in places they owned or dominated.

A lot of that has origins in Rome and Greece, and other preceding cultures, but that’s outside the scope of this.

So, chances are that whatever legal system you’re asking about, came about because of the way the British Empire did things. But you can look to the Magna Carta for the more recognizable facets of it. That was a document setting out rules between the ruling people on how they would treat each other.

But the key to it is that people, in general, need protections from people in power. So those in power sometimes agree to have a system in place to minimize unfairness, at least on the surface (and that’s ignoring how successful that is or isn’t).

That’s how it came about, an attempt to spread out or blunt the power of the state against individuals.

Like you said, panels can work, as long as all the power isn’t vested in that panel. If your group of judges isn’t perfect, then it’s no better than a king making the decision arbitrarily.

In theory, having the state have to present a case, while the accused offers a defense, and a jury making the decision while a judge makes sure everyone follows the rules, should be the way least prone to corruption and even when it fails, it should still be a mitigation of abuses of power. Obviously, it doesn’t work perfectly. As long as the rules are applied evenly to all, and the base assumption is that the state has the onus of proof, that’s as good as it gets in terms of humans trying to make decisions about other humans.

To bring this to a close, let me apologize for things being disjointed. We have a rogue rooster to deal with, so I’ve been writing this in between handling stuff, which means my thoughts were not allowed to flow the way I’d prefer. So I know I missed stuff, and that it doesn’t all connect the way I’d prefer. But I gotta figure out what the hell to do with this little guy, and that means no editing.

Well, if your pussy is purring juices, you may have over stimulated it.

You forgot one bottleneck. The bottleneck.

puts on ban proof armor

To be fair, don’t we all like fucking a hairy pussy?

I know, I know, bald pussies exist, but it just feels wrong when you rub your dick on them.

However I draw the line at eating pussy. It just isn’t healthy, and you don’t know what you might catch from it. I mean, have you seen the mess they leave behind?

Death awaits us, a warm embrace after a cold life, giving surcease to the plague of human misery.
