A dirty brush is a useless brush.

Today I've given my face a good scrub and now I'm sat with a nose pore strip on. I should do this more often; I feel quite refreshed.

For a little while now I haven't been washing very thoroughly. I've been scrubbing my body with a brush each day but the soap remains dry. Today I found a number of dense, dark blackheads in both creases of my nose. Quite deep, some leaving a noticable hole after extraction. They were really firm.

>>6177
Those might not be blackheads and you shouldn't be picking at your spots anyway.

>>6183
Yeah, these were definitely blackheads - no smaller than 1mm in diameter which, when coming out of your face, is pretty big. But yeah I'll definitely stop touching those 'sebaceous filaments' now that you mention it. Thanks!

>- The ones that try to pack everything at the till and do so extremely slowly. holding everyone else up like the selfish cunts they are.

This irritates me whenever it happens, it's worse that the checkout instructions are on a massive fucking banner behind them and the checkout is designed so that you do not have room to pack properly yet you have these literal brainlets are so ignorant that they completely ignore it and take 3-4 minutes.

You can see the checkout person calling them a cunt with their eyes staring at them, unable to say anything. The one time I told one of these mouth breathers trying to pack a literal full trolleys worth of shopping into bags that the instructions were behind them they looked up at it and then kept doing what they were doing. Ignorant, selfish cunts.

>>437228
I'm middle class and I prefer KFC over Nando's.

Nandos getting a lot of hate consistently, why?

It's no fine dining but if you want something where you know you don't need to book, know you can turn up casually, quickly run off when you're done because you've already paid and want some relatively tasty chicken with a selection of easy going sides I don't see the problem to the extent everybody else does.

Yes there are lots of teenagers in there eating on first dates but it probably suits their budget and level fo relaxation.

Set up a load of webcams, probably 100 would do it, and try to film the resulting dribble from enough angles that you can stitch together a decent bullet-time slo-mo epic. Then delete it.

The fuck are you asking? I'm assuming this is more low quality pasta from elsewhere.

I recorded myself jizzing once with the slow motion mode on my phone. My knob is apparently a natural performer as I jizzed harder and farther than I ever had before - I heard it hit the ceiling.

It was so inpressive I did actually show it to a couple of girls, I wasn't even really interested in them, it was just such a good video.

Sand down your bell end.

You need to find some use for it. That will impress the ladies.

If you go deep into it of course. There''s a reason there are whole schools of thought about the correct way to progress in terms of a serious practice. I think for most people who do a little bit of mindfullness or whatever it won't be an issue but if you're deep diving you're gonna run into some legitimate and challenging weirdness.

I think there's probably other lads on here that would be able to elucidate a bit better, I only paddle in the shallow end for my own purposes. But I mean you're basically fundamentally fucking with your own internal thought processes and nervous system, so yeah it can be serious fucking business if you're not careful.

A while back I read an article somewhere discussing the practices of certain organisations running courses on meditation.
In particular in the UK there have been a few places running hotels in the theme of Tibetan monasteries, where people can pay a couple of grand, they get a few lectures in meditation from some old guru-type, and then they are locked up for a week just being let out an hour a day for food and exercise in silence.

Large numbers of people going on those courses are suffering from serious psychotic breaks and having to be sectioned, because they've been dumped right in the deep end without the sort of one-on-one support and guidance that you would get in a real monastery.

>the vast majority of problems people complain about as a kind of melodramatic form of mental scaffolding
I'm a dabbler in mindfulness at most, but even at the level I'm at its made me see this in people

>>29765

Part of me thinks it's hilarious and the type of relive my gap yah hipster wanker who'd pay for that deserves sectioning to begin with.

I'm not sure what the other part of me thinks. I've never meditated, I've just taken loads of psychedelic drugs over the years.

I love everything about this picture.

That's to hide his oppressive white face, if you look he got set on fire so all clever people can say mislums are brown. And it's racist to object to him saying it's ok to beat your wife for disobedience because he got burned. And went brown.

Go for a walk somewhere. Along the river maybe or see some of the sites etc. Central is a bit of a shit place to wander around but fuck knows atm. Hyde park? Regents park?

>>29756
That would be lovely but my predicament is its going to piss it down.

>Central is a bit of a shit place to wander around

There's plenty of parks and a stroll along the Thames is quite nice.

11 million quid of taxpayer money spent on this. 112,853 children go missing in the UK each year.
So if it's 11 million per kid, and over a million kids missing, no wonder there's not enough police funds.
Fuck off lefties, you've been rumbled.

>>65584
It's actually why Rotherham happened. We realised we simply didn't have the resources to deal with this sort of thing anymore so it's easier just to ignore the problem and hope it either goes away or gets resolved by itself.

Not just rotherham lad. It's all over. can't say much but I know a good friend who's joined the police. On probation in a West Yorkshire town right now. tells me if people knew what was happening in regards to cse there'd be chaos. Told friend about Maggie Oliver and Jon Wedger (wants to pursue career in abuse / rape investigations) and it's put them off a bit.

>Thank you mate - really appreciate this post.

No worries, was probably helpful for me to post it as well.

In terms of meditation guides it's kind of hard to say, think you probably just need to try a few things and see what works for you. Lots of people have told me like that headspace app has worked for them and there's a million guided meditation things on youtube.

Personally I've worked out my own little routine that starts of just counting breaths and then if I start to feel settled I do some other breathing stuff and that's about it. When I first started trying to get into a proper practice I found going to a drop in group session was really useful just in terms of doing it in a group and being forced into a longer meditation than I'd do myself. Obviously not an option atm though. My main thing is to try and go into it with the right intention as in to try not to see it as a chore or a thing you HAVE to do, but rather as 10/15/20 time for yourself where you're allowed to not worry and stress about stuff. Which is easier said than done obviously.

And as I said in the previous post I've fallen out the habit myself so am a bit of a hypocrite. I think trying to maintain the habit can be the hardest thing, for me at least. But when I do I feel a bit better in my head.

>I was probably just hoping somebody would chime in and say 'yeah same, it fucking sucks you're not alone.'

You're not, and I'd imagine there are plenty of other lads on here who are feeling the same but might not even feel up to typing up a post. And just anecdotally speaking to mates irl lots of people are having a hard time in all sorts of ways.

Message too long. Click here to view the full text.

I think I've kept sane because I've just been too busy with work to worry. I'm not actually getting much done at home but then nothing focuses the mind like a deadline.

Maybe you can try keeping yourself busy with an online course. The sense of progress and just generally keeping yourself occupied is something I've found helpful throughout my life. That said, I think everyone has been getting those moments though where you just want to get out the house and live your life again.

>>29738
Seconding the good nights sleep. As my commute has been cut right down I've been able to get much more sleep than I used to. It makes a world of difference.

You're not alone.

If you don't want to try headspace then there's this:

Also because you're missing the gym, you can try this site which tailors exercises according to what equipment you have https://www.fitnessblender.com

Or the NHS site https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/exercise/gym-free-workouts/

>>29746
I actually managed to do 15 minutes for the first time in a few weeks and feel more chill. Might try another 15 once it gets dark if I haven't got half pissed first.

Do any of you bodhisattva lads have any tips for maintaining the habit? I often keep it up for a few weeks and then inevitably just let it slip, I mean I guess it's just self discipline really isn't it? It just often feels a lot easier to crack a beer.

>artists don't get a great deal out of it

Spotify pay out about 70% of their revenues as royalties, but the majority of their users don't pay a subscription and bring in absolutely piffling amounts of money. There's absolutely no reason to feel guilty about paying for Spotify.

>>12408

>They haven't exactly got a monopoly, they're fighting off competition from amazon music, apple music, youtube/google, and a few others.

Sure, just like BP don't have a monopoly on oil, there's a dozen other evil megacorps to shaft you in their place. I get that they're providing people with exactly what they want, so I'm not faulting anyone for using what they're offering. I'd just encourage anyone who's serious about music to think about being more direct with how they obtain their collection.

I say it's harmful overall because as shite as the way the old music industry was, at least you had artists focusing on being artists. You got a big fuckoff loan from some executive who directly reamed your arsehole in person and made you their bitch. Nowadays musicians are dividing their time between being youtubers, teachers, gigging, and commodifying their whole life on social media in order to scrape a living; every one of those companies wants a share of your arsehole, and none of them has a big enough cock to get you off.

Anyway whatever. Thank fuck I have a real job instead.

Mods need to get a grip on this giant advert of a wesbite. Big Streaming have now also moved in it seems.

Sure - a bit of wood cut to fit and tied around will be completely fine. Should last a decade or so.

The first time I've found an outie belly button attractive. I feel very confused.

She was kind of hot for a kid napping, blood drinking, occult reptilian.

I had many wanks to her in 2008. Couldn't see myself voting for Clinton but in the word of the notorious swinger Kissinger 'Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac'.

Wait until the media gets wind of his scene with Kara Price, they'll lock him up and throw away the key.

I imagine that when fucking a variety of stunningly beautiful men and women all day long is your 9-5, you have to push the boat out a bit compared to the average person in your leisure time.

Perhaps, but 5-MeO-DMT is a notoriously un-fun drug. Something more akin to a near death experience, but without any of the enjoyable bits.

>>25330

I was never that impressed with that scene. It was decent, but certainly did not live up to the hype. It felt far too controlled to be truly exciting, there was certainly a lot more convincingly dark scenes coming out of sites like meatholes.

>>25335

Meatholes was a bit different to anything that's come before or since and a lot of people in the industry consider Khan Tusion to be a total psychopath. He did make fantastic porn, though.

>You're giving me foul memories of living in Stoke.
I moved from Lichfield to (near) stoke a couple of years back, and my biggest regret has been moving away from the greatest indian takeaway I've ever found. They rented this tiny ktichen in the back of a "local" pub (standing room maybe about 1m wide by 4m long), but it was the best I've ever had, even better than some of the award winning places in the Birmingham Balti belt.

Around Stoke, so far the best I've found is a restaurant in Newcastle with a takeaway service, called koh-i-noor

>>13393

I can't vouch for takeaways but I know some OK Indian restaurants in Stoke and Newcastle. There was one I used to go to on the approach to Newcastle called Basmati that was particularly good. I used to go there just for their "lamb stuffed pepper" starter which was proper ace.

While we're at it:

Sanam is the best restaurant on the Curry Mile. Get the biryani. Everyone says it's Mughli but they're wrong. MyLahore is also pretty good to say it looks like a knockoff McDonalds.

Al-Jazeera, which shares the same logo as the news station, does a great afghan chicken over rice.

>>437334

The integration of immigrant communities, face to face interaction that enabled people to see that brown folk aren't so different after all, that sort of thing.

I'm not saying you've deliberately understood me, but I did make the disclaimer I probably haven't articulated the argument all too well. I just don't think telling people (especially on the internet) that their subjective viewpoint is wrong has ever really got anyone anywhere.

>>437332
A lot of people in America like watching Fox News, not because they think it's accurate but because the sentiment agrees with their prejudices and they prefer to have that reinforced. People care more about feeling right than accuracy and Fox better than anyone else know their audience and how to pander to them.

On the racist front I'd say the issue is that these people don't think they're being racist. It's the "legitimate concerns." If people call them racist then it's easy to rationalise this as not being a credible claim because it's come from some easily triggered Rotherham enabling hand-wringing do-gooder lefty snowflake who hates our country and cries dolphin rape at everyone and everything, to the point the word racist has been watered down and almost lost all meaning.

>>437332>>437334>>437335
Third chap here.

My own viewpoint on this is that as a society we've put a great deal of time and energy into teaching people how to be politically correct "you can't use that word it's racist", but far too little effort into solving the underlying issues such as segregation and inequality. We've essentially taught entire generations of people how to hide their prejudices from other people, rather than proving that some of their prejudices are incorrect and working to lessen any truths underlying other negative prejudices.


I was going to make an anecdote about how you could find plenty of posh white hipster students wearing #BLM tshirts, who would still cross over to the other side of the road if they saw a group of black guys walking towards them, but then I remembered that they would anyway because of social distancing

>>437343
Aye, society's better at teaching people what to think than how to think.

The layer of compacted crumb is above that.

Just give it a quick rinse like you would with some pasta.

Tapwater tends to leave mineral residues that can cause short circuits. I'd suggest having a go at it with the crevice tool on your hoover first. You could sluice it out with isopropyl alcohol, but since COVID it'd be cheaper to buy a new toaster than a big bottle of IPA.

Blast it out with compressed air?

Sod these lot, OP. Just take it with you next time you bath and give it a good soak. Could even have toast while you're soaking.
