    Have you ever tasted urine?

    I have many times back in the 1990s. It tastes different according to what the person ate previously. For example, broccoli can flavor urine in an unpleasant way. Pee changes flavor and smell according to diet. Pee is a common part of some fetish play. It’s pretty common in alternate...

    Rejected for every job I've applied to lately. What equal opportunities !?!

    Statistics show that people over the age of 35 start finding difficulties in getting hired in non managerial jobs - despite qualifications. It gets worse the older one gets. One is either not qualified, or too qualified. Younger people are desired more for various reasons: they can be hired...

    Rejected for every job I've applied to lately. What equal opportunities !?!

    My lack of social skills? I have always have extremely public social jobs (though I wish I didn’t). I have worked in management, retail sales, teaching, communications, advertising, and in clinical mental health settings too. I worked at getting felons and disabled people jobs. Not to mention...

    Garbage Warrior Documentary

    After the Y2K predicted apocalypse failed to happen, many owners of bunkers and MRE rations sold it all off cheap. I wish I could have bought one of those bunkers. Would make a great sensory deprivation retirement home off in rural America. There will always be doomsday conspiracies, but that’s...

    Fall mountain biking/hiking

    Oh yes, autumn is my favorite season. Kayaking in cool temperatures with no mosquitos. Big antlered deer. Colorful leaves crunching underfoot. Delicious berries, foggy mornings with mist rising off the water. The slap of beavertails as they gather branches for winter food stores. Crisp...

    Rejected for every job I've applied to lately. What equal opportunities !?!

    We have discussed this repeatedly about how you have not “wasted” the past 20 years volunteering...in fact multiple times. Yet you keep repeating the same sentences, and actions over and over. You are not listening. Now you seem to be on a pity train of hopeless negativity. Sorry, but your...

    How to bring the subject up about aspergers, after several sessions?

    Honestly, google translate is terrible. ABSOLUTELY not accurate for a detailed conversation, or describing your symptoms. I have have extremely poor outcomes translating German history books to English; understanding published medical articles; historical articles for writing college papers; and...

    Garbage Warrior Documentary

    There are a lot of these homes built through the world now. Indigenous humans have been engaged environmentally since the beginning of time. Using recycled castoffs to build in earth friend ways is catching on in modern day society in a huge way. The man in the film is famous and his...

    The last thing you bought?

    Mexican homemade ice cream cone with two gigantic scoops on a waffle cone. Flavors: Raisin Rum on the bottom, and Cheese (Cochita cheese and vanilla mix) on the top. DELICIOUS!

    Cyber Cop Education or Training

    I think the OP was looking for formalized training LOL - not learning hacking from the Internet! One have to train for and enter the law enforcement field plus, and meet all those qualifications and background checks first. Google “cybercrime training for law enforcement” to go down that...

    Applying For A Job In Person

    Do not go at the busiest times which are breakfast, lunch or dinner serving hours. Go during lull hours when management have more time to talk with you. Be prepared to tell them what position you are applying for (dish washer, bus boy, waiter, etc, and have a resume, CV or business card to...

    Plane friendly stim toys

    A plastic one! :) For airport security. Metal ones could be used as destructive tool when banging, hitting, or hurling. I absolutely hate spinners myself. When others use them near me they upset my own sensory disorders. Pure torture if someone in the plane next to me uses one. Which is why...

    What's Korean food like?

    Thanks, that helps! Wow, 13 years ordering the same item! It must be awesome! I too take photos of my foods, collect menus, and make notes on the choices I make. One restaurant may not be as good in a specific dish as another. I try different items, but I also keep ordering the same favorite...

    Being "mothered" by people

    I detest “Ma’am” and I am 62! The “affectionate terms of endearment” are also quite regional in commonality if usage. For example, one is more accustomed in parts of the southern USA (Georgia, Arkansas, Texas, etc) for women to be called these names. In the big cities up north though, it’s...

    Younger male partners

    Many notable people (brilliant licensed doctors, therapists, clinicians, etc) in the mental health have refuted Freud and continue to do so.
