Three strong cups a day is too much, and my sleep has suffered as a result.
I've been cutting out afternoon coffee while physically recovering to help sleep. I hate to say it, but it's a major upgrade. I've now compromised a bit and offer myself high-quality decaf in the afternoon. The state of the art here has changed, though it feels strange to pay drug-high-prices for the drug being removed (similar mental challenges with NA beer).
On one hand, sleeping well feels great. On the other, the pleasure of an afternoon coffee is one of life's greatest. It helps me keep workin' hard at the computer from 2:00 - 5:00 when my brain is already fried.

No. No, no no. Don't excuse the Keurig use by @Muninn. It's a machine that exemplifies everything wrong about late-stage capitalism and the infantile American palate.
Just talking through it should be enough. Here's the "pitch": we're going to take a tiny, 9-gram dose of coffee and grind it to immediately start the process of decay. We're going to entomb it in a 3-gram amalgamation of aluminum and plastic - just enough to make sure nothing can be recycled, and packed full of air so idiotic consumers don't realize how much we're ripping them off.
We'll design machines with the lowest-grade plastic available, full of shiny surfaces that attract fingerprints. Each one a crime of industrial design: Debossed KEURIG front-and-center, pathetic blacks and greys, chunky cup holders that eat up so much vertical space that no meaningful drip dray can exist, and side-saddle water reservoirs to even destroy the tiny mercy of symmetry. No water filtration necessary! The algae growing in the poorly maintained office example should make it into every cup. While we're at it, let's spread that coffee dose around 3 different water sizes, spitting in the face of ratios, and make sure we only have one brewing temperature (Nuclear Hot) as insurance against someone tasting the slop we're pouring out. A scalded taste bud can be abused with impunity.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. The coffee's bad enough, but there's a whole secondary ecosystem of "hot chocolate" and "apple cider" HFCS delivery systems that the underclass loves to puncture with those plastic needles, just to hasten the day they need to do the same with insulin.
I respect spooning instant coffee into the bottom of a mug 10,000x more than the animal self-cruelty of using the worst fast-coffee system ever devised.

It got me thinking if I'll be able to. The number of highly respected boomers I loved who have calcified is high. It's difficult to think of those who stayed flexible, and the number can be displayed on a single hand.
Maybe the lesson is to line yourself up before 50, to make the glide onto the landing strip as graceful as possible.

This was exactly my thought, and the elements led to very emergent social situations. No dancing emotes needed, just severe financial consequences for leaving yourself open to being backstabbed etc.

Sure, but the cumulative capital flowing from the couple to this therapist (3 different types of therapy...) is a huge outlay. I'd pick being Poly over being forced into therapy like this any day.

Wild dynamic - your gf is essentially demanding another person be in your relationship! I wonder what she gets out of it.

sparked by economic problems such as rampant inflation and Tehran running out of water
Some of these are the result of vanilla idiotic theocracy, but I wouldn't downplay the influence of US sanctions on economic problems.

I'll add an anecdote here from swiss bike touring friends who spent 3 years traveling the world. They said Iran was the friendliest country in the world from their experience.

Do you also believe that men should not perform oral sex?

I both partially agree with you and am frustrated that you're engaging with a strawman. Engaging in sex acts <> Promiscuity. Full stop. Of course men cannot have their cake and eat it too. Women that are easy to sleep with are easy to sleep with.
But to the other half of this - what is the limit of sexual activity you consider permissable? Because you're actually pushing back on Oral Sex here, not Anal. I'll veer into a less logical argument: people who think kissing the genitals of someone they love is beyond the pale are insane. I literally cannot conceive a relationship where something that low risk and high reward is off limits. It's unbelievably selfish.
The Algebra for anal is different, but not meaningfully so in a monogamous relationship.

I'm asking about this because the stupid basics are already taken care of fwiw. I'm not interested in sabotaging my own recovery since I'm already on mental pins and needles

To make point 3 tactical: there's an obvious difference in received blowjob quality pre- and post- partner orgasm.
It's obvious I'm not going to convince you, so... good luck!

Persona wise, there's a major difference. Sabrina's songs openly disparage men, and she murders them in more than one music video.

- It's far more effective per unit of time to have women sell you - they will brag about your sexual prowress
- When a relationship ends, you reduce the possibility of negative outcomes
- On an individual sexual encounter level, you'll get better performance out of your partner
If you're a bad lay, you may be able to get by through frequently cycling through friend groups, being highly attractive, and having a massive dick. Most people don't have all 3 of those luxuries on hand. Being purely selfish in bed as a male isn't a sustainable course of action, even if you don't care about anyone else.

OK. I have a heinous clavicle fracture from exactly what you'd expect, with surgery scheduled 2 days from now. I'll hold my rant on being unable to price this surgery out after 2 straight days on the phone because I'm just bored of how shitty the US healthcare system is at this point.
I'm interested in reducing recovery time as much as possible. I'm starting from zero on Peptides essentially, but I'm interested in leveraging them. I'm willing to pay a premium to get more likely quality and to get the process started faster. I've seen peptidesciences .com mentioned after a search, and checked around the site a bit.
My first thought from basic research is to utilize a KLOW blend (BPC-157, TB-500, KPV, GHK-Cu), but Reddit has essentially banned most of the discussion, and Anthropic's safety team has fucked me yet again. I don't even know where to procure / how to load subcutaneous needles!
I'm talking with someone in meatspace who has more experience and will respond more on the journey here, but I wanted to open the floor to discussion and see if anyone wants to offer help.

Taylor Swifts early image was 1000% good girl modest. You could argue that her audience was trivial compared to what it is now, and that would be true, but it's unmistakable that she was a polite good girl country singer first.

Just some data to support the growing Overton window of sex: 40% of young women request being choked, up from 15% of 40-49 year old women. It's a huge explosion.
That said, I think it's absolutely brutal to suggest that blowjobs and Anal are a bridge too far. These sex acts are fantastically enjoyable. The former especially is absolutely a sex act that should be standard fucking equipment in any relationship with a penis.

That's all well and good, but female sexuality and the process of getting them to orgasm is inherently more complicated. It requires, generally, actual technique at a minimum (if not artistry).
A male lover certainly has some responsibility to understand different parts of female anatomy and sexual psychology.
Women can and do get by without really knowing or caring, because the genders are not symmetrical.

I find my work interesting and would love to build a great post around it, despite it being profoundly boring to normies. I'll put one together soon about a historical project.

And yet: Beautiful people in a simple storyline is something apparently beyond the ability of Hollywood to produce nowadays.
What machine do you have? I'll mention I replaced a ful set of gaskets in my Breville Dual Boiler last year. It took an hour or so, which I consider pretty great for a famously less repair-friendly machine. It's been chugging around now with some aftermarket upgrades for 6 years.
