I just started out and did a total of 10 hours in three sessions. I started on Chaturbate and Stripchat.

I'm male, i got e decent body - but i'm not ripped. Im 26. I'm located in Europe.
I need to say that i don't show all of my face. Others looking about the same and also not showing face have full chatrooms. I think I'm comparable. But it's obvious that ripped studs got their rooms the fullest (I mean men are very visual creatures).

I have barely got people in my room. Most of the are just other streamers, mostly women.
On both sites I got 20 tokens. Maybe I'm expecting too much? I only got like 10 guys, who have a record of tipping a lot, in the full 10 hours.

I know there is much more than looks. I worked as escort before. But online, I'm not sure what people are expecting. And I'm not sure what I'm supposed to deliver.

Hi everyone!

After wanting to get into leathercraft for years, I finally bought my first set of tools (thanks to the pinned beginner guide!). I haven't found the weekly questions thread :)

Now I'm trying to choose my first leather, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. I'd prefer to buy leather that comes from animals raised for meat production or from wild game, ideally from regional suppliers. So far I've found two local tanneries that sell mostly vegetable-tanned leather, but they only offer natural leather or a very limited range of colors.

I'd love to make colorful projects. I know the bright, even colors used by large brands come from is not achievable, but it made me wonder:

• How practical is it to dye vegetable-tanned leather yourself?
• Is it something a beginner should consider, or is it harder than online videos make it look?
• Are there good alternatives if I want more color options? For example, lining a dyed or colored leather onto a natural full-grain leather make sense, or are there better approaches?

I'd really appreciate hearing what experienced leatherworkers recommend for someone just starting out.

Thanks!

Just finished my first batch of kombucha and bottled it for F2! 🎉 I drank half of it right away because it was so good 😁.

My original plan was to do a continuous brew in a glass dispenser, but the faucet leaks, so that's on hold.

My main question is: how do you tell if your scoby / culture is healthy? I had a hard time getting a scoby where I live, so I'd really like it to not die.

The scoby sank after a 2-3 days, then floated back up after I added fresh sweet tea. It hasn't really grown much, but it has changed color a bit (much darker). I saw online that it kind of grows in layers, mine didn't (I feel like it's a little thinner, but maybe I'm imagining this). I'm worried the culture isn't active enough, especially since I left it sitting for about two days after I think all the sugar had been used up.

I also live somewhere that's only warm enough for brewing during summer (16-20°C in winter), and sometimes life gets busy. 😅 If I leave the culture sitting in finished kombucha for a few days / weeks, will it be okay? (I know I can put it in a small jar and in the fridge, but that's not the plan) And if my appartement is too cold, does it just ferment more slowly? Would using more than 10% starter tea help?

I'd love to hear what more experienced brewers think!

How do you feel about sucking someone after you put lube on his dick?

Honestly, i think lube just tastes disgusting. I also don't like to kiss someone after sucking me, when I already was inside him. It just tastes not good.

I'ts not really an issue, but for me it takes out spontaneity.

Vili elektronischi Grät oder au anderi Sache, gönd hützutags "komischerwiis" mega schnell kaputt.

Z.B. Han ich en Rasierer, wo de Rasierchopf kaputt isch und s Ersatzteil bstelle us Dütschland chostet meh wie de neu Rasierer. Aber alles andere a dem Grät wär ja no guet. D wahrschinlichkeit isch evtl. zimli gross, das das öpppert no bruche chan.

Meined Ihr e Plattform für das wür öppis bringe & würded ihr das au nutze?
Quasi wie es Ricardo (ohni absurdi Gebühre). Oder sueched ihr söttigs Züügs amigs uf Tutti etc.?

Gaht das au anderne so? Isch chli en Frust post. Aber ich fühl mich fascht immer nur no abzocked.

Chaufsch irgend öpps, chostets eifach fängs so vill, wo ich mir denke wer chas sich das leiste und du weisch es isch eifach übertüüred - au für das wo bechunsch.
Nachher bechumi vo "etablierte" Unternehme so oft Rächnige für nahzahlige, meistens Grundleistige wie Arzt oder Strom, Vermietig: 1. Was söll das? 2. Ich bin e Privatperson, ich schaff de ganz Tag, nei ich chan nöd jede Tag 3 privati Telefonat währed de Arbetsziit mache. "Leider haben wir sie telefonisch nicht erreicht" -> Ja klar, normal?
Nachher hesch Versicherige und sie drucked sich jedes Mal. "Versicherungsgesellschaft" aber es isch en AG und macht 800 Millione Gwünn? Am Arsch.

Ich verdien knapp de Median, aber mini Wohnig chostet verhältnismässig wenig: Ich will au mal Chind ha und chan grad mal so mis eigene Lebe zahle. Nachher bliibed dir vilicht so 5-10k im Jahr - aber au nur wili nie würkli Ferie mach. Was will ich mit dene 5k wo überig bliibed? Ei mal meh bedütigslosi Ferie oder usgeh für Konsumscheiss? Warum bechum ich en lohn wo vor 40 Jahr mal aktuell gsi sich? Sogar din Chef wo jede Tag id Auge luege muesch nimmt dich us. Schön hesch dir es Huus Cash chöne baue und protzisch demit das es geil isch kei Hypothek müese zahel.
Warum mues ich jedi Wuche 50 Mails & Post beantworte -> denn mues mers teilwiis so richtig bearbeite als macht mer das Hauptbrueflich - Ja klar han ziit für das, machs doch selber... söt doch i dem priis inbegriffe si. Denn muesch no frei neh zum uf Post gah ihgschribnigs Züügs go abhole, will am Samstig vilicht au öppis anders plant hesch als i dem 3 stunde fenster uf d Post gah.

Ich fühl mich so richtig uspresst a jedem Egge. Sozialhilf wird jede Tag attraktiver.

Hi everyone,

I've been going to the gym for a little over a year, but with a long break in between, because of outside circumstances. My timeline was roughly:

• 3 months training
• 6 months break
• 4 months training

In both training periods together I did around 70 sessions and usually train 3 times per week.

My relationship with the gym is a bit mixed. I enjoy getting stronger, but I find training pretty boring, so I've focused on making it fit into my routine rather than maximizing results.

I'm still doing the workout a trainer gave me when I started. I only do one working set per exercise because it keeps the workouts short and sustainable for me. A friend of mine who is quite experienced also trains this way and he's ripped.

I'm 174 cm tall and weigh about 65 kg and now getting 27 years old, male.

Current progress (mostly 9-12 reps, usually 12):

• Leg Extension: 45 kg → 65 kg
• Leg Curl: 35 kg → 55 kg
• Leg Press: 90 kg → 160 kg
• Abdominal Crunch: 47.5 kg → 75.5 kg
• Back Extension (45°): 20 kg → 20 kg (I'm cautious because of back injury concerns)
• Machine Row: 55 kg → 75 kg
• Assisted Pull-Up: 30 kg assistance → 15 kg assistance
• Chest Press: 40 kg → 55 kg
• Shoulder Press: 20 kg → 45 kg
• Cable Bicep Curl: 15 kg → 22.5 kg
• Cable Tricep Pushdown: 12.5 kg → 22.5 kg

Most of this strength increase happened during the first 3 months. After the 6-month break, it only took me about 1-2 weeks to get back to my previous weights.

I can definitely tell that I've gotten stronger, and my friend was impressed by the progress and how disciplined I'm looking for good form. However, I haven't built much muscle. (I haven't weighted myself when starting out) I don't track calories, but I usually eat well over 100 g of protein per day. My calorie intake may be a bit low on some days, but sometimes on the higher side as well.

My main questions are:

1. Is this reasonable progress for the amount of training I've done?
2. Is the lack of muscle gain just genetics, are my expectations too high?
3. What would give me the biggest return on investment if I want to keep gym time low?

I'd appreciate some feedback.

Ich weiss gar nöd was ich sege söll, aber ich find es artet nur no us. Was hend all die Seniore eigentli s'Gfühl?

Eusi Hochschuele sind es Businessmodell.
En Lehrling lernt vo Uslaufmodell.
E Wohnig zahle, schwirig.
Es Chind finanziere, au schwirig.
Fruchtbarkeit, immer schwiriger, au eifach en Business-case.
Als Jungunternehmer a Usschrigibe vo de öffenltiche Hand mitmache, schwirig bis unmöglich.
Keine Garantiert eus au mal e Rente.
D Lebensewartig nimmt ab.
Bundesrat, offesichtlich au nur en Job wie jede anderi.
Usbade chans eh de Einzelni, respektive en bestimmte Teil vo de Einzelne.
Perspektive, Gugus, Öpfelmoscht?

Mir sind alli gnueg bilded und verstönd au, wie es Unternehme & en Staat funktioniert. So jung simmer au nüme.
Und die wo sötted eusi Zuekunft sichere, mached ihre Job schlecht und werded immer älter.
Ich bin fertig mit kei Luscht meh ha.
Am Morge wele ufstah für öppis wär mal schön.
