  • Heavy dialects could be an option to make it at least more difficult for those who listen. My step father is from Southern Germany and speaks a moderate Swabian dialect making it difficult for people in mid Germany to understand everything he says even though the basically speak the same language.

    He once had car issues in Hesse and wanted to ask the mechanic if it’s okay to leave his car where it’s currently parked. What he said was “Ka’ i den do stong long?”, the generic German equivalent would be “Kann ich den da stehen lassen?”.
    Assuming both people know the dialect and are able to talk it fast it may be pretty difficult for a third party to understand fast enough what’s going on.


  • When I’m stressed out my potassium levels sink. Low potassium then affects my heart rate and this makes my anxiety go through the roof. If you feel like there’s a possibility that you have nutrient issues: bananas, nuts and so on can help.

    For tea you may look into calming stuff like lavender (helps you calm down and sleep) or passion flower (is said to be a good remedy against anxiety) l. Try to take your time brewing and drinking it.

    Warmth also helps to relax. If you have one and it’s not too warm around you, you can use a hot water bottle.









  • The containers can increase your breads toaster compatibility :D

    But overall I guess it’s a bit like pasta: different use cases (sandwich, sides for salad or soup, as a stand alone dish / food), regions with different resources for flour, fluids, spices, … and also different kinds of utilities (metal pans weren’t easily available everywhere, all the time and they take up space) and so on.

    And all these things influence how the bread tastes, looks and feels. So variety in process (container vs surface, loafs vs flat breads, handcrafted vs automatically processed, …) leads to different results with different characteristics.

    E.g. I love Apulian bread. It’s a loaf with a slightly darker crust, but lighter and soft on the inside. The crust gives it a slightly bitter taste, that makes it a bit rustic (the only thing better is a fresh baked sourdough loaf).
    It’s perfect for sandwiches IMHO but for french toast it’s a pain in the ass. I use pan baked toast (different density, crust and form) instead and again: perfect bread for this dish.

    And then just imagine eating a Döner from half a loaf of grey bread, or toast, … blasphemy!




  • my fiancé and I have a good sex life. She enjoys sex with me

    That’s the relevant point right here. But you only mention how she feels about it. What about you?

    In general, speaking from a woman’s point of view: a man that is not only not afraid to use sex toys (there are a lot out there…) but also knows what they’re doing and listens to what I want, is a jackpot in bed. No matter how they’re build. No downsides.

    My spouse sometimes likes gigantic boobs and though I’m already build quite good, it’s not always enough for him. So we bought some huge silicone tits I can wear on top and seeing how happy it makes him is more than enough to overcome that little sting in the back of my head. Because let’s be honest: being able to pleasure your partner can make you feel very connected but also powerful.

    So I hope you feel confident using this 8’’ bad boy because you have all the reason to.






  • That sounds like a nice trip. You skipped my home, when you toured through the South, but Stuttgart is fine (in winter). After going to the North, you may want to look into parts of Eastern Germany like the Erzgebirge though you should stay in the touristy areas there if you have a darker skin color and / or are part of the lgbtqi+ community. This area is as beautiful as it’s backwards.
