Most smokers are assholes and genuinely don't care about stomping a butt and the city is too cheap and scared of homeless people to put out more ashtrays and garbage cans and hire more workers.
I was in the city this weekend and finding a place to put my butt was a hassle the few times I smoked away from my hotel, which did have an ashtray. You'd think they would have those disposal things attached to every bus stop but they don't.
They sold it at my uni, sales went to the surgeon research department.
Maybe paint ball instead? Shoot someone in the neck and you'll get a great story and an easy ice breaker.
Glad I could offer a bit of reassurance man, all the best going forward.
I'm not trying to discount any of your feelings or experiences, I went through this same thing for years until I met my current (and first) gf; for context I was 28 when we started going out.
I hated hearing it when I was in your situation but it's always been true for me, work on yourself and keep yourself open and things will eventually happen. I gave up trying to find a girlfriend when I was 27 after years of striking out irl and on dating apps and decided to focus on myself. I was starting a graduate program and got a cool public art opportunity through my city so I just put all my energy into that which helped me focus less on tinder and my lack of sex (kinda) . One day this girl I worked with dumped her loser boyfriend and after several failed attempts to ask her out (I'm bad at putting things down, she's bad at picking things up) i finally had a date. Four years later and she's begging me for a ring.
Life is tough and even harder when you don't have someone to experience it with. Again, I don't know your situation and I don't want to just be another asshole saying things will get better cause I fucking hate those people when I was sad and lonely, but I genuinely do believe good things come to those who wait. Keep yourself open to new experiences and listen to your gut if it's telling you to take a chance.
Or tell me to stfu, that's cool too I get it and won't be upset.
It was nice at first, now it's really boring.
I live in British Columbia, you don't scare me with your story of drug addicts, hippies driving Subaru's, and no chance of ever moving from my parents basement.
Is there a youdontsurf community yet?
Save on archeology assessments by not having any remains.
Modern problems and all that.
Better numbers for the media if this continues, this is easy clicks why give it up now?
Pretty much none, I have a few pictures and a couple small videos of my favourite models for that off chance I don't have an internet connection and wanna whack it, but that's very rare.
Depends on the bear. Black bears are cowards and you can generally just make noise or act big to scare them. Brown or grizzlies you'll want to play dead and pray then don't try to eat you. Polar bears, good luck, better have one of those boxes really close by.
The rule on black bears can go out the window if they are worried about their young, super hungry, or young and inexperienced with humans.
Someone with better knowledge can correct me but that's what I was taught when I was a kid.
