  • In metric land we simply state the size of the mattress. I’ve got a 160cm wide and 220cm long bed, for example.

    Length is typically 200cm, but sometimes I encounter 190cm beds in hotels (which are too short for me, as I’m 1,92m tall). 220cm beds are extra long (and mine was 200x220 before I cut the aluminum profiles to reduce it to 160x220 after I divorced)

    Note how we also measure humans in meters and beds in centimeters, but it’s just a matter of a decimal point/comma.

    Der Helm beim Radfahren ist sehr sinnvoll. Eine Helmpflicht ist es nicht, da sie. potentielle Radler davon abhält Rad zu fahren.

    Radfahren ohne Helm ist (glaube ich, Achtung keine Wissenschaft) immer noch “gesünder” als gar nicht Radfahren.

    Siehe USA dort gilt (und ist leider auch, wg. der Verkehrsverhältnisse) Radfahren eine sau gefährliche Sache

    Kein Witz, mein Onkel war ein strikter Gegner der Gurtpflicht. Und er ist gestorben als er mit dem offenen Jeep Wrangler und Anhänger von der Straße abkam und das Auto mit den Rädern nach oben liegen blieb. Kopfverletzung, ein Gurt hätte ihn wohl im Auto gehalten.

    Die Sache hat meine Tante in den Alkoholismus getrieben.

    Wer sich nicht anschnallt - was passiert hat nicht nur Auswirkungen auf einen selbst.


  • I agree with the last statement at about a 70% level. The last 30% missing is - like you can’t tickle yourself, there’s some sensations that are different just because another person does them to you.

    I’m not anti relationship, it’s just when viewing sex alone a lot of the things I experienced with someone else are just overrated. With very very few exceptions when I met humans with extremely high emotional intelligence.

    But maybe in the end that’s all a discussion, that we all are generally bad in knowing and communicating what feels good for each other.

    Jedes Mal wenn ich mir a saures Radler bestelle schaut mich irgendwer an wie ein Auto. Und in der Hälfte der Wirtschaften muss ich erklären, was das ist. Ist aber echt gut, wenn’s so richtig heiß ist und ned so pappig wie ein normales Radler.

    Ach ja, noch dazu :

    What’s the difference between a Bud Light and having sex in a canoe?

    None, both are fucking close to water.













  • I’m 53 now and was considering getting an official diagnosis a few years ago, I even had the initial appointments set up.

    I canceled it, because there was too much going on in my life at that moment (even got a notification I could reschedule for later)

    All that made me think about what I was hoping for from diagnosis. In the end it was just having something in writing that would help me with self-acceptance.

    Around that time I also was in a group psychotherapy so I talked about that and that part is now solved.

    Regarding meds - I don’t want to try them now as my other coping strategies are good enough at the moment and I’m a bit wary of side effects as I need to take a handful of. medicine every day, anyways.

    In the end you need to decide why you want a diagnosis. If you want to try meds I’d go for it. (My son “inherited” it from me and had meds for a time, which really helped him).

    In a case like mine where I didn’t expect any new strategies out of it or didn’t want meds - it was probably the right decision to skip it.
