This is interesting because I always feel like I adapt when I move and become a version of myself that does fit in.

I grew up a city boy.

Moved to the country and began wearing outdoor gear and rock climbing until I was indistinguishable from my neighbors.

Moved to a hippy town and started smoking weed in tie dye until I was indistinguishable from my neighbors.

Moved to NYC and started wearing a hat and an overcoat until I was indistinguishable from my neighbors.

And now I’m on the border of Mexico and don’t look anything like my neighbors, but apparently I’ve picked up enough Spanglish that people have still started asking me what region of Mexico my family is from (none).

I’ve retained little elements from each phase of my life and carried them over into the next, but every level also stands out as a distinct hybridized version of myself that I became for a time. In turn, it helped me discover new parts of myself that I would not have found if I hadn’t changed how I was living to fit my environment.

So, if you feel like you don’t fit in, maybe try to adapt to your surroundings so it is a little easier for people to meet you in the middle culturally.

We are the same, you and I.

Honestly, I have a weird feeling that this might be genuine. No need to sleep with the dude if OP doesn’t feel it, but it could be a cool opportunity to be a mentor and a friend to a younger queer dude if they get along.

Either way, meet in public and inform a friend.

Be unstoppable.

That’s no log…that’s American hardwood!

Siete leches.

Do you think she won’t be vulnerable to the same strategy a second time?

Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, dismissed Trump’s comments in a statement, saying, “The Wall Street Journal should learn to take a joke, however, the President’s pardon power is absolute.”

It’s just a joke, bro! Unless…

Has anyone here done Kratom? It’s a very light intoxicant, and when you take a little too much, you puke it up quickly and efficiently. I’m sure it’s possible to OD if you have an iron stomach, but unlike heroin (which I also have personal experience with) where a few CC’s on the needle is the difference between life and death, it takes a stupendous amount of Kratom to get even remotely close to the danger zone.

These laws restricting Kratom seem like they are designed to steer people towards pills more than enhancing public safety. Boo.

I read somewhere a while back that the nicknames for these creatures is highly regional, and it seemed to pan out when their data showed that the regions which used the two names I know them by are the same ones that my family comes from.

Doodle-bug or roly-poly, btw.
