I pick up Voltaren in the States—I’m not crazy enough to get into an argument over a single tube of ointment once a year. 🙄

And who’s actually at fault if it wasn't the clerk? He didn't just book that amount for himself... $1.00.

Also, move the Options back to the center. 🙂

By that logic—my cycles are always ovulatory. 😳

Nicole Smith said:I wasn't really paying close attention. I assumed you couldn't reach orgasm through penetration alone...

Maybe your libido is just low. (Personally, I used to climax just from nipple stimulation—more than once)

Libido and reaching orgasm are two entirely different things. 🤣

Honestly... though this feels like another "penis enlargement" scam to me. Skeptical.

And why would anyone even bother—is your G-spot too small? Can a G-spot even be "too small"? Besides, isn't the whole thing just... well... a myth? It feels like we just picked a spot, labeled it, and now everyone treats it like some sacred art form—men and women rambling about it—when it’s really just a specific way of stimulation that happens to work.

Anyway, I've drifted into philosophy now... but I am genuinely curious if anyone here has actually tried it.
And I mean actually done it, not just making things up.

P.S. Just waiting for the guys to catch wind of this topic 🤣.

I have a specific spot internally—a little protrusion—that when stimulated (by myself or a partner), the arousal becomes intense and leads to orgasm.

There were rumors that belly dancing helps manage the pain. Have you ever tried pills? Because—well—I’ve been on Yaz for eight months now, and I still get cramps. Not as bad as they used to be, but enough to break out in a cold sweat. Honestly, when the pain hits, just wrapping myself in a blanket helps. 😬

I once threw up after taking two Voltaren Rapids. It knocks me out—I fall asleep, and two hours later, the pain is just gone... 😁

You haven't configured it correctly. Look above the frame where the ad usually sits—there should be a small adblock icon. Click that and set it to block all ads from Microsoft. Basically, just select the Microsoft domain. You get what I'm saying, right?😁

Gerald Palmer66 said:The reality is that nobody can open an account on your behalf except you.
Plus, there isn't really a limit on how many different checking accounts you can hold across various banks.

Then how was that specific account opened? Enlighten me...

vividranger8 said:Wait, hold on—an account is opened based on a legal contract between you and the bank, so how would anyone else even be able to open *your* account?

Look, I signed a contract for a scholarship and my account was set up automatically. I didn't even go down to Chase to open it myself.

Gerald Palmer66 said:Well, in that specific scenario, they are technically the account holders, while you're essentially just acting as an authorized representative.
in that case.

That’s incorrect. I was receiving a federal grant. They may have opened the account, but I am the owner—no one else has authorization to use it. 😉

darkmarlin92 said:And then we can't do anything because we're buried in debt—we owe something like $45 billion while the whole budget is barely over $100 billion. Imagine that debt growing every single year just because people are borrowing more since they can't even afford the basics anymore, all while the government throws money at nonsense like handball arenas. It's pretty obvious. Debt keeps climbing, and interest payments get higher compared to what our weak economy and country can actually handle.
We should be building up state-owned companies instead of bringing in foreign corporations that don't give a damn about our people.

That's why Americans are one of the most emigrated nations, honestly.

yeah, exactly. that's not the point.

Exactly the opposite—if it’s a state-run entity, it means taxpayers are footing the entire bill. Besides, the benefits and conditions at multinational firms are generally superior. The only catch... you actually have to show up and work.

darkmarlin92 said:Foot the bill? Like, what if the government just used its own gear—like how the US Armed Forces used to build roads for nothing back in the day? What kind of capitalism was that? We had zero, but we still made it work. We've got companies like GE, Caterpillar, massive energy sectors... plenty of talent. So what's the deal? Do we really have to kiss the European Union's ass just to get Bechtel to come in and drain us dry?

Back then, there were jobs for one group, not the other. Everything's different now though...

Yeah, I wasn't even around for that, so I don't really remember.

Did the materials just fall from the sky? Did the costs cover themselves? The state has its own machinery, but look at what the Republican policy of social sensitivity has actually achieved. It’s all well and good when you're hunting for new voters, but when it comes to fixing a budget deficit... it isn't so great. 😉

There wasn't work for anyone. People were leaving in droves for Germany, Switzerland, and other places just to find a decent life.

I wasn't part of that generation either, but I've heard enough. It’s a bit much to talk about the "good old days" when you don't actually have a clue what was really happening back then.

darkmarlin92 said:I kind of miss the version of socialism where people actually got help building houses or had decent jobs you could actually live on. Like, think about why socialism even died... what actually killed it? Capitalism. It's a total wrecking ball. I'm not really into politics, don't care for the Democratic Party or the Republican Party.

1. Someone has to foot the bill for that kind of support.
2. Those jobs were handed out through connections—nepotism hasn't gone away, either. We haven't even reached true capitalism yet.
3. Socialism vanished because it simply wasn't sustainable. Just look at the debt America left behind. Look at the rationing coupons, the endless lines just to get a cup of coffee...

darkmarlin92 said:Why can't we just have a balanced system that doesn't chase profit? Why should someone else make money off your hard work? We should be smart enough to set up a global system that doesn't care about your job or how much debt you're in. A system that just moves money from the buyer to the seller. Does that even make sense?

Oh, right—equality for everyone. We tried that once—I think they called it socialism. It didn't exactly work out...

darkmarlin92 said:With a system that doesn't hit you with insane fees just to use an ATM.

Think about it this way:
You’re wealthy—you’ve got a massive stash of cash hidden under the mattress. Then some acquaintance comes knocking, asking for a loan. What’s your move? You aren't just handing over the money without making sure you'll actually see it again—and you certainly aren't doing it for free. You won't.

darkmarlin92 said:I mean, isn't paper just... paper? How does it actually get the power to buy stuff that's real?

With everything moving toward digital currency, how do you grant impulses any real authority when they don't actually exist? 😕

darkmarlin92 said:HOW IS IT 200,000????????????????
If money is a fixed pie, and Steve has $17 while Ivan has $17, and they hate each other and aren't trading anything... where does the extra come from? If Steve just takes out a huge loan to go on vacation, where do those extra $1333 magically appear?

Please use a comma instead of a period—what you wrote looks like two hundred bucks. Two hundred thousand looks like 200,000.

Go study credit and deposit multiplication—seriously, just Google it. There are diagrams and everything. 😉

And thirdly, Smith? His theory was debunked in the very same decade it was created...

darkmarlin92 said:I feel like most people have no clue how money actually gets made. They think the government just prints bills and decides how much cash is out there. I mean, they play a part, sure, but isn't it really the banks? They pump out loans and rake in interest, dropping billions into the system that just end up being cycled back through more loans. Honestly, if every single debt was paid off tomorrow, money wouldn't even exist anymore. Or maybe I'm just trippin'.

The state doesn't print money—the Federal Reserve does. There’s a mechanism called reserve requirements, which is the central bank's primary tool for regulating the money supply in circulation.

And please... those trillions are being invested constantly.

Your premise is flawed. Someone will always need capital—that's been the reality since antiquity through to the present day. 😉

darkmarlin92 said:Can someone please walk me through how interest actually works? Is it even "real" money—like, actual physical cash that exists, rather than just something conjured out of thin air?

Let’s say there’s just one bank left on Earth, and they have a deposit of $33. They offer you a loan for $6.75. At that exact moment, if you count all the cash people are holding, the total amount is $33. So, everything combined equals $67.
If you put your money in a CD, let's say the rate is 4% a year, but if you take out a loan, the rate jumps to 10%. If Person A takes a loan for $6.75 and has to pay it back over, say, 2 years... how is it even possible for there to be $68 in the world once that debt is settled?
How can money just be created out of nothing but debt?? 😲

First off, the minimum reserve a bank needs to operate in the US is $40 million.

Second, you need to understand the basics of deposit and credit multiplication...
