Sex shop near me now

Yes, I know the X1 Extreme is discontinued. I HAD been planning on getting the P1 Gen 6 when it comes out, but now I'm reconsidering, and I'd like to hear your thoughts...
First off, my personal priorities for a laptop are:

1. Lots of ports. Give me all the ports.
2. RAM/GPU powerful enough (and/or upgradable) to edit videos in Premiere Pro/After Effects, and maybe run some games (I have an XB1 and PS4, so game performance would have to be about =< to either of those to be worth using the PC for it at all)
3. Sturdy and reliable

The X1E and P1 fulfill all those requirements, but does so for $2-4K, depending on what upgrades you get. And when I started looking out of curiosity at Lenovo's Gaming Laptop section, I was surprised to see laptops that had:

1. MORE ports than X1E/P1
2. Equivalent RAM options and better GPU than X1E/P1
3. AND much better screen resolution/refresh rate
4. For BELOW $1800

I asked a Geek Squad buddy of mine, given all the specs that are equivalent, Am I missing something that makes the X1E/P1 worth hundreds to thousands of dollars more than a random gaming laptop? And he answered, "No. It's all aesthetics. People will pay more to have a laptop that looks "grownup" and "professional," instead of like a gaming laptop with colorful LED backlighting (even though you can just turn off the LEDs!)"
(Besides that, I do imagine that the more "professional-looking" Thinkpads will be lighter and thinner than most gaming laptops. But personally I would rather have sturdiness than thinness, all things considered)
So I put this question to you, X1E/P1-owners of Reddit: Is there anything besides appearance and weight/thickness that you've found makes high-end Thinkpads worth more than mid-tier gaming laptops?

After nearly three weeks of taking 20mg Prozac after coming of Venlafaxine, I've just hit a period where I'm feeling like I'm losing the plot - things seem unreal, like I'm not grounded in reality. This really frightened me today as I've not experienced this for years. Should I be concerned or could this just be anxiety/sleep deprivation? I've had terrible insomnia since starting on Prozac and I'm exhausted even though my mood is quite high and energetic. Any advice or similar experiences?

A quick note on pegging… This is not going to be an instruction manual; there are plenty of those already. This is more about how it makes me feel.
Being penetrated is a very intimate sex act that everyone should experience, regardless of your gender or perceived sexual orientation. Being a woman, I am obviously quite familiar with being penetrated during sex but first time I was the one doing the penetrating… it was a life-changing experience and such a rush of emotions.
The first time I used a strap-on was with a woman and, emotionally, penetrating her was so beautiful that, afterwards, I was a changed person. We held each other and, frankly, a was a little teary eyed. The most profound detail was how she lovingly took me inside of her, such grace in that beautiful act of femineity. I felt so special to be the one inside of her. When I’m penetrated, and I take you inside of me, I’m giving all of me to you. I had no idea that when you penetrate, you can feel your partner giving themselves to you and just how very special that moment is for you both. Now, the other side of penetrating is the control I got to experience. I decided how she would be fucked. My thrusts ventured deeply inside of her body… inside her most delicate and guarded area. I felt intoxicatedly powerful.
Now, when you peg a man, it’s all those things AND SO MUCH MORE!! As a woman, being powerful during vaginal penetrative sex is more about your confidence than anything else because you are still the one getting fucked, even if you’re with the most caring and gentle lover. You are powerful for feeling how valuable your sex is and that you CHOOSE to give yourself to your partner. Now, when you peg a man… OMG! WOW! You probably feel MORE power and MORE control than what a man feels when he fucks you!
And the crazy thing is… men love being pegged. Especially when it’s being done by a woman they are incredibly attracted to who knows what they are doing. I kno

Background, I’ve been using the same cleaning company for monthly cleans of my house for about a year now with no issues. They do a great job and the price is totally fair. Unfortunately, a week ago that all changed.
On Friday 5/27 they were supposed to show up at 9am for the monthly clean. When 9:30 rolled around and no one was here, I texted the admin team to ask if they were still coming. I was told they were but that it would be later. I said no worries, I’m home all day. Later that afternoon the admin texted me to say they would need to reschedule for the following Friday. I was a bit annoyed since my house really needed cleaning, but said no worries and booked for 3pm the next week.
On Friday 6/2, I texted at 2pm to confirm it was still on. Received a reply that yes, the clean was still a go. 3:45 rolled around and no one had shown up. I texted asking what time they’d be arriving and received a reply apologizing and stating that the team was behind schedule. I said no problem, I’m home all evening… no reply, no cleaners showed up.
The next morning I emailed the company to describe what happened and let them know we would not be rescheduling/booking future cleans at this time. NO REPLY. I’m an extremely tolerant person but this level of terrible customer service is totally unacceptable. If something happened yesterday where they couldn’t show up yet again I could handle that, but it’s the lack of communication/explanation that makes it inexcusable. I have since booked with a new company.
Is this frustrating or what?

Hi, everybody.
I’m 30 years old in the western US.
I am having a really hard time.
I am more introverted by nature, I always have been. Going out became easier in my mid twenties when I lost a lot of weight and found clothes I liked. Unfortunately, with the pandemic I really really regressed. I might be worse than I ever have been.
I don’t go anywhere where there are people, ever. I work behind a couple locked doors and I bring my clients in through a hall, anyone I don’t want to see I can give someone else. I do all of my grocery shopping as a curbside pickup at 6am. I absolutely do not go anywhere there are people.
The issue isn’t people, generally. I am terrified of seeing people I know. Fucking terrified.
In high school, especially undergrad and grad school, I was on a lot of psych meds. I had a lot of issues at home, and losing my Orthodox Christian faith (which I really believed in and identified with) was very difficult. My gay experience has been a little bumpy. A lot of very hard times the last 15 years or so.
The thing is, the meds changed me a lot. I had a different personality, said things I wouldn’t normally say. I am embarrassed for how I was back then on all those meds. I don’t want to see people who knew me back then and remember who I was and what I was like.
I’m still in my home town, I’ve always lived here. I need to get the fuck out. I have to stay 2 more years to help my mom and finish my CPA exams. Then I’m moving away, as far as I can.
When I go out among people in the state capital 2 hours away, I feel free. It’s great. I have no problems. When I’m home, I always see people I know everywhere. Nowhere feels safe and I feel I have to hide. I’m really afraid of seeing people I’ve known. I’ve deleted all social media but that doesn’t make me feel better.
I’d appreciate advice. I know this sounds crazy.

Okay so I should start out by saying I’m a week or so late to the party here - I saw a bunch of posts about the show and the drama on Tik Tok last week before I started watching the show, so I definitely had some knowledge of what to look for before going into the first four episodes.
That being said, I tried to be open to both Lexi and Vnsa (note: this community doesn’t let us say her name in posts??) to try and see what people were talking about, and honestly, I think where I differ from most people even now that opinions on Vnsa have changed, is that I don’t think she was ever a “villain”.
What I keep coming back to is that I don’t think people like loud, sexual, and annoying women…and Vnsa is all of those things. People seem to like her more now, in part I think, because she has been taken down over and over by certain people on the show (namely Lexi, Yoly, and Mildred) and now she is far more reserved than she was.
I don’t think her personality was a calculated act, I think she is just annoying and loud. It was really solidified for me in a later episode where Xander tells her they love when she compliments herself. This is just who she is, and that’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
Essentially I’m just trying to suggest people take a more empathetic look at her traits instead of pathologizing what I think are just behaviours our society has conditioned us not to like in women.

I’m not sure if this really fits on here but i didn’t know where else to ask this where i wouldn’t get people being aphobic towards me.
So basically i used to have a crush on one of my friends (i think it was anyway) and i ended up asking her out, she said she just wanted to be friends- i was fine with this, all i wanted was for her to like me in any way romantically or platonically. (even when i liked her i couldn’t really imagine myself kissing her or anything i just wanted to be near her and was attracted to her)
It’s been a couple months since then and the romantic feelings i had for her are gone but i still want to be around her just as much? I have like all the same feelings except i don’t really want to ‘date’ her and i don’t really get butterflies as much, but i still find that i’m seeking her out and disappointed when she can’t hang out, i know this is normal for friends but it feels different somehow i’m not sure how to explain it? is this what alterous attraction feels like or am i just not as over her as i think i am? i think i kinda want to be in a qpr with her but i don’t think she would want that.

Why does he [42M] take everything I say Negative?
We’ve been together for about 8 months now and the last few months are getting rough. Mostly because of the title.
Like today we was hanging out and we was both taking turn playing video games. While he was playing I guess I was starting to doze off and he asked me if I was taking a nap.
I responded, “no I’m just chilling.” and ended up falling asleep anyways.
When I woke up he was taking a nap and when I moved a bit he woke up. I chuckled and said I guess you fell asleep too.
He responded “yeah I did after you got nasty with me about not taking a nap.”
And we got into a big fight.
I immediately said, “ that’s a continued issue where everything I do and say you take negative. I didn’t mean it negatively at all. Only you can combat that train of thought”
Then he completely deflects that I’m trying to say he’s the problem. Which I am not and I continued saying “it’s your perspective that’s the issue. I can’t change that. Everything I say you take negative. I don’t understand why?
He packs his stuff and leaves.
I try and be mindful and not take offense to it because I am not intentionally being negative or trying to be short or anything but when someone constantly finds a way to say you are it’s upsetting.
Can someone please help me? I’ve tried saying “Hey, when you think I’m being offense, tell me why you feel that way and we can work through it.” Even when that happens and I double down land apologize and say that I wasn’t being negative. He still harbors on it.
Like I can’t change his perspective and it starting to feel like it will never change. I don’t want to be with someone who will take everything negative and that’s starting to seem like the case.
What can I do better or differently?
TL:DR My boyfriend takes all my responses towards him negative. Ive him that’s not case and maybe it’s just his perception. He’s unwilling to change/combat his perception. I am not a negative Nancy and him telling me I’m being negative causes issues and fights. It’s weighing on my mental health.

I've had waterproof vinyl plank throughout my small house for the last 4 years. I regularly sweep and vacuum, but have only mopped once in the past. This is disgusting to me, I know. But its been so long and it got so overwhelming because of that. For now, at least the kitchen is mopped.
Please recommend easy mops or liquid floor cleaning devices. I used a regular mop and bucket today but I have no idea how clean the floors actually got. Ugh

This thread was so helpful when I first was diagnosed with ureaplasma. I got it from a guy who said he only had condom sex with one girl in his life ever. He was also a terrible person in general so he might have been lying and/or the condom slipped. Anyways, I was having horrible uti like symptoms until I did my research on TikTok and on Reddit and released I needed to be checked for ureaplasma. I was living in Germany at the time (I’m American) and thankfully the doctor tested me exactly for what I asked for and she prescribed me doxy for 10 days. I asked for Azithro just incase but she highly recommend me not use it for side affects. I listened to her. Me and the guy both took our 10 days of doxy and never touched each other ever again and I was cured since then.
I just recently had sex (without a condom) with a guy I’m currently dating and also problem free. I did get a yeast infection but I’m prone to those so I took 7 days of boric acid (from ‘the killer’ brand) and that also cleared up.
Safe to say sometimes men are horrible for your soul and your body will reject them before you do.

I started the pill for the first time last Sunday. My period also started that day. However my period usually only last 4-5 days and is usually pretty heavy. It was heavy and normal like, but even though my period should be finished 2 days ago, I’m having light pink/brown spotting when I wipe. I’ve also been experiencing terrible mood swings. If I stop taking the pill now, will I still bleed even though I just had a normal period? I’m going on vacation and do not want to deal with bleeding and I really don’t think emotionally this pill is doing me well. Thanks.

I played on Friday and probably played the best I ever have. Shot at 90 at a course with a slope rating of 127, which is great for me. I was absolutely throwing darts with my irons and hit 11 of 18 GIR. I was pumped. Having said that, I’ve been struggling with my driver (started pulling a bunch of shots lately) so I decided to scheduled a lesson for today to help get more consistent.
Well, instead of working on my driver at all, the instructor had me swing my 7 iron and then told me that my entire setup, grip and swing fundamentals are way off. We spent the hour going over that.
After the lesson, I went to the range and now I can’t hit the ball. At all. In 48 hours I went from the best 18 holes of my life to not being able to even get the ball in the air.
I only started playing a year ago, so for those of you who’ve been at this way longer….when do you just embrace your swing (faults and all) and just play with it vs. trying to get more fundamentally sound? I honestly don’t know that I have the emotional capacity to re-build my swing and start all over again. If I have to go struggling around the course for the next few months so that my swing looks more “tour-like” I don’t know that I’ll keep playing.
The part that bothers me most is that I took 10 lessons last year, and the instructor I had at that time didn’t point out any of these flaws/issues to me. So one instructor or the other is off, or I’ve developed a bunch of bad habits (while dropping my index by 9 strokes) over the past 8 months.
Vent over.

I miss my wife. She passed 3 years ago and I sleep in the same room she died in. What the hell is wrong with me? I can't bring myself to move, but I have not seen another human being in person for almost three years. She did not approve of me seeing other people. It upset her that I would want to spend any time away from our house. Now I just live here alone, still afraid of her. I do not know what the hell I am supposed to do. I loved her more than anything. Nothing matters more to be than expecting her wishes, but I am alone. Is there anything more than this ?

Weirdest thing has happened and I’m not sure why/how and what to do to fix it.
I defeated Radagon and Elden Beast. I’m not quite ready to pick an ending and go into NG, so for the last few weeks I’ve been enjoying being summoned using my Small Golden Effigy (range: both neafar) with no password.
Last night, I decided to help someone with a Knight using their password. Mission accomplished, but since that co-op, I have not been summoned using my Small Golden Effigy (range: both neafar) with no password
Things I’ve Done Already to Troubleshoot: - made sure the password fields were empty for both the Tarnished Furled Finger and Small Golden Effigy - restarted Game - restarted PS5 - tested internet connection
I usually get summoned anywhere between 30 seconds to 5 minutes after sending my co-op sign. It’s been literally hours and nothing. The message still pops up on my screen though to let me know it’s “sending your co-op sign to summoning pools (range: neafar).” However, nothing. Hours and nothing.
I’m level 153 with +10/+25 weapons. Those were my stats before when being summoned worked and those are my stats now when being summoned isn’t working.
Anyone else having this problem? Or anyone know how I can get help fixing it?

I just finished my two HC runs and am now thinking about trying the contagion mode for the last two achievements that I have left. I’ve heard a few people complaining about the « you belong here » achievement not popping for them at the end of the run and it disheartened me a bit… should I go for it even if it doesn’t feel safe now and seems like a waste of time ? Also if any of you could give me any tips to make sure that I don’t find myself struggling too much in this game mode, I would appreciate it ! It seems easier than HC in terms of ressources so I’m not worrying too much about that

My mom got a letter from a participant at her yoga class and my father thinks she is cheating now and he is being very agresive now threatening her to leave the house, doesn't let her sleep and asks her for that guys number and I tried to convince my mother to give him the fucking number but she doesn't want them to fight cause my dad doesn't seem that he only wants to fight ( i hope I'm wrong) and now my mother wants to move out with me but I can't take a decision like this this fast How can I stop this if he doesn't want to stop till he gets the number and she won't give the number cause she doesn't want to involve a random guy in this shit hole

Hey… so I’m year 11 atm and getting the overwhelming emotions of leaving. I don’t wanna lose my friends or stop talking to others but I know it’s gonna happen and people are gonna be lost along the way. I’m frightened of the next step and what college is gonna be like… can some people who’ve gone though it assure me it’s gonna be okay? I’ve known this school for like 6 years now. I’m not ready to go.

So Boost Mobile won't allow me to have a new phone sent to another address that's not my billing. I sometimes wonder why companies make things more difficult than they should be. I'm trying to have it sent to my job's address instead because I've had issues with the USPS delivering to my apartment in the past, either the box is too large for the actual mailbox or they give it a wrong status update and return to the post office.
