I had a cheaper folding one in the pandemic and rode it until it broke. It was the pedals as well. I figured this was less BIFL but wanted to see if there was a suggestion

I have some friends with rowers. Might get one of those instead of a bike

I do like having a higher quality machine that lasts but don’t know if I can justify over 1000 for something. If I can get it used I will get one

Erika Lust and Make Love Not Porn are my top two examples

Porn magazines have a long history of progressive and more alternative articles mostly closer to their founding in the 60s/70s. A lot related to sex liberation and queer rights but lots of other ideas that were fit for mainstream. They would be more progressive than feminist meaning feminism is included but not the focus.

As for porn being feminist this is a controversial idea but there’s people who say it is. Mostly how it relates to women having sexuality and sexual agency about their bodies and pleasure. I would not call playboy a feminist porn studio like I would for Erika Lust which would be a better example.

The most important thing I have learned is working hard when you see directly benefits. Working hard on your own school work or education is a great lesson because it’s all tied to you. Use that same work ethic at a large company you burn yourself for nothing. Own your own business where additional work directly benefits you is a great idea.

One of my favorite lessons from my favorite sex and relationship podcasts hosts (Dan Savage) is his advice about short term relationships being a successful relationship if done correctly. The same ideas as discussed here but more general. If not the only “successful” relations ends with someone in a coffin

I love the cross posting feature. It’s helpful to spread the love

I love the hint of chocolate so powder makes sense

I usually do semi sweet chocolate but cocoa powder would be great

We’re most just a cheese course. But some pickles or olives go a long way. Especially if you have wine

Cheese is always a good choice

I love chili. I haven’t made it in a while. I got to make some this winter

You’re right about fruits. There’s are fancy grapes that are just amazing. Especially if you make a small charcuterie plate. And by that I mean cheese

While I see lots of suggestions for trash food (which I love while high) there’s something to be said about something wholesome and homey. It works best when prepared ahead of time. My favorite are soup with fancy bread, a hearty pasta, tater tot hot dish and pot pie. I think we’re doing a pot pie for tonight. Get it ready and then get high while heating up. Perfect
