I’ve got no clue what I want to do with my life… no job sounds like something I’d enjoy and some of them/the one ig I’m working towards requires more schooling and I don’t know if I’m ready for that.

I keep hearing both “you’ve got so much time” and “what do you want to do?”

I’m sick of hearing that I’ve got time because it truly doesn’t feel that way. I get it, I’m young, but I want to do something/have a job with a career path and what not… and when people say that I have time all I feel is that I should go slower and that doesn’t sound true at all. This whole thing just really upsets me… and speaking of extra schooling, I can’t get myself to focus on anything so even preparing for it sucks.

This is more of a rant than anything else.

To start off, I play around the 4.0 level and am trying to improve. I play quite often, usually multiple times a week for a few hours each time. I currently use the B&B Loco. I have added ~ 3g to each side and use a Hesacore carbon. My paddle is on the heavier side (never actually weighed it) and I find that I enjoy that feel. It has a lot of power but I would maybe like some more so my drives go further more comfortably. I am also trying to play more aggressively/work on patterns as that’s one of my weaker points I believe.

With a new paddle I plan to:

Potentially add weight (via weighted tape)
Get a Hesacore (or some other grip accessory)

I like the idea of a foam paddle not core crushing, and as pb is my main hobby I don’t mind spending on it.

Currently I’ve got a few paddle ideas in mind:

1. RPM Q2 - I tried it and it truly felt like effortless power, which was nice
2. Proton coyote - new and interested, not full foam, honestly just caught my eye but probably won’t get it
3. Spartacus Spitfire - cheaper, seeing good things, grit durability isn’t the best? (Currently the one I’m thinking about the most)

Overall I don’t know much about the other paddles and am happy to hear all thoughts - even if related to paddle equipment!

Male here, this has happened a few times, and it’s never painful or a scary color (like red) but because it happened today I figured I’d ask about it. I was peeing like normal and near/at the end there was a slight buildup then a kind of small clump came out. It was slightly yellow (same color as the rest of my urine) and it looked like it was sticky. I haven’t masturbated in a bit and so I kinda assumed they were connected, after all I only know of one other thing coming out of that hole, and it can match the description of thick and sticky. I wouldn’t say I’m dehydrated, I drink when I’m thirsty and don’t really ever go long periods without water.

So ig my questions are:

1. What is it?
2. Is it something I should be concerned about?
3. Anything else I should be thinking/considering?
