Paper roadmaps often mark scenic roads, the ones I had marked it with a green line following the street, I always made sure to drive those roads, the recommendation never failed.

You write a Lot about Digital Entertainment, make sure to plan your route so you have plenty entertainment on the outside of your car. Don’t just drive highways, they’re boring and ugly and show you nothing of the place you’re traveling through.

Make sure you’re at least a little familiar with your vehicle, like where is the breaker box, how do I access the spare tire, while you’re at it check your insurance for road assistance.

If you’re planning on going to more rural areas make sure to check for gas stations, bringing a 10l fuel canister saved my ass more than once on my trips through rural eastern Europe.

If you’re traveling through different countries, with different languages, write down some phrases like ‘hello’, ‘thank you’ ‘gasoline/gas station’. People were more friendly and often excited when we showed an effort to learn some phrases in their native Languages.

The restaurants packed with locals are the ones you want to visit, especially when it’s a lot of blue collar folk there, usually the food there is cheap and good, the locals will be there for a reason.

If you’re camping check the laws and make sure you know how to start and maintain a safe fire, after a long day of traveling you’ll want to unwind a little, a little music, a fire, some card games are ideal for that, you can read/watch stuff when you’re in bed.

Basic troubleshooting and reasoning.

That drives me nuts sometimes. Like even professionals sometimes seem unable to do basic troubleshooting. I work in live music, I am not a tech/engineer but have done a lot of tech work on and around stages.

Simple stuff like - one speaker is not giving a signal, two techs are unable to identify the fault for over 20 min. I observe for a bit, they check the console, they check the speaker, they check the power supply.

And I, half joking, ask - have you switched sides already? Both look at me like they don’t understand my question, I walk over to the signal line for the PA, unplug them both, plug the left side into the right signal and vice versa on the other side - the problem moves from one speaker to the other, so it has to be a faulty cable. I was so baffled by that.

WHY IS THAT NOT THE FIRST THING YOU DO??? It takes seconds!

Or a wireless in-ear system has weird noises in the signal, I suggest to switch the frequency, the old tech grunts at me that he has already done that, I check and he moved the frequency like 10mhz. I suggest to move to a totally different frequency range and he gets rude so I go somewhere else. Half an hour later it turns out I was right. Why do you fuck around with firmware and shit before you do something simpler and quicker?

Oh I was merely expanding a little on that yes, we are in agreement;) I commented before my first coffee, so my phrasing could’ve been better.

Well regular soldiers also get hired to do that, the big difference is the employer, as a regular soldier you’re employed by the state, as a mercenary by a private entity.

In war they are more or less treated the same under the law, they’re counted as regular combatants.

Mercenary business is always at least a little shady, since they often get used for shady stuff.

Very witty response! Impressive argumentative engagement, I’ll have to ponder that further.

The first paragraph of the OP maybe had some good intentions, but the edit is just spiteful and ignorant.

Edit: so are their responses

Okay, you got your reddit attention, good job dude, now move along.

…yes, educating your children on how to have safer sex is a good way to prevent the possible pregnancy you clutched your pearls about in your first comment.

Or you could go the puritanical way, not educating, just condemning, pushing the teens to have unsafe sex in an unsafe environment, too scared to trust you and ending up in the scenario you yourself created the perfect conditions for - an unwanted teen pregnancy.

I was about to comment the same from Germany, that’s an extremely puritanical view.

If teenagers at that age want to have sex, they will, it’s up to you to decide if it will be in a safe and trusting environment or not.

I think I just came.

Well those 3 hour fuck fests in porn are definitely not real and are often cut to make it seem that way.

For some perspective - the average time from penetration to ejaculation is around 5 to 7 minutes, the data ranges from 30 secs to around 45 min, in extremes over an hour.

There’s a couple of factors that influence “performance time”, partner dynamic, stresslevel, fitness, emotional state and age. For example the average time goes up with age.

There’s also some things you can do to lengthen it, for example men can also greatly profit from kegel exercises, tools like rings or some meds can also help lengthen the act.

And you can also help your partner, switch positions, play around with the intensity and rhythm of the penetration. The best sex I had usually involved a lot of trust and communication, the more you get to know each other, the more fun it gets - at least to me.

I sometimes joke that sex is a little like this 90s children’s toy “bop it”: twist this, bop that, pull here, push there, Kiss this, lick that.

Build trust, communicate with each other, try out different things, don’t put too much focus or pressure on the length of the “penetration time” but on the quality of the sex you have overall.

And don’t forget to just have fun. My partner and I laugh and giggle a lot during “le sexy time” but being that comfortable with each other takes trust and time, also we’re just silly people.
