    Tried it? I practically live on these dating sites. Lately, I feel really comfortable starting connections online, in chat. Right now it’s https://www.cupiddates.com/ . I think it’s a pretty well-known dating site. I’ve come across it often. I can honestly recommend it. I’ve noticed that when I meet people online, I feel more comfortable and rel…[Read more]

    It would be great if you could see in advance how lighting or any changes, a new interior, and stuff will look. It’s hard for me to make a decision until I see it.

    I have a question about bumpers and all these sensors. Like, parking sensors, motion sensors. If I put an aftermarket bumper, will everything still work? Won’t it change the dimensions and cause interference or something like that?

    costalacosta replied to the topic Exploring Quality Online Casino Options1 in the forum General Leica Discussion 3 weeks, 6 days ago

    That’s why I don’t really like overhyped casinos, platforms that have huge ad campaigns, marketing and all that stuff. Usually this creates big expectations, but in reality they’re just regular platforms, and not always fulfilling their promises.

    costalacosta replied to the topic I never thought I’d enjoy online slots in the forum General Leica Discussion 1 month ago

    I don’t think there’s anything surprising about that. Modern slots are really awesome. Fast-paced, colorful, engaging, and if they’re from top providers, you can be sure it’s going to be a solid gaming experience. I just enjoy playing a slot, but sometimes you come across a rolling slots promo code that gives a pretty nice and easy-to-play bonus.…[Read more]

    A social casino is where you can play for free? Not with real money, I mean. If I understand correctly, what’s the point of that? No interest at all.

    It really is a dream. Very few people actually work doing something they truly love. Honestly, I think I got really lucky. In my circle I’m literally the only one who loves their job. Still, I’m looking for free online jobs that pay daily, because I want to slightly increase my income and just have a bit more pocket money.

    I have experience with such video chats. I think it was even something like 18+. But right away I’ll say, for me it was trauma for life. I haven’t felt that uncomfortable in a long time, honestly.

    It would be great not to deal with all this at all. Looking for people to do the renovation, places to buy everything. Feels like organizing all of this is harder than the renovation itself.

If you’re curious, I work through Skrooge AI, I pay for a pretty long term there so I don’t have to worry. Basically it’s automated software, but my accounting is still handled by a real spec…[Read more]

    To me, responsible gambling means the player doesn’t need outside tools to control themselves. If someone needs limits, what kind of healthy attitude toward gambling is that anyway?

    If your joints hurt, then I really recommend seeing a doctor. I’m serious, joints are no joke, and supplements won’t fix the issue. They might even make it worse.

    I get that it’s a stereotype, but anything labeled healthy food sounds super gross to me. I’m not good at cooking, maybe that’s the whole problem. How are you supposed to eat healthy if you can’t cook?

    The only supplements I take are vitamin complexes, and I only buy the ones my doctor prescribes based on my tests that show deficiencies and stuff.

    It really annoys me that I can’t just find a good betting platform. I’ve already tried like five different ones, and there’s always some kind of issue. Why can’t things just work out from the first try?

    costalacosta replied to the topic What’s your go-to online casino and why? in the forum General Leica Discussion 3 months, 1 week ago

    Depends how it goes. Most of the time I play after work. Playing during work hours seems really weird to me. I don’t do that. But playing poker after work is great. I didn’t learn How to play poker that long ago. I started with the main combinations, some basics of online poker, just the foundation, and then started trying to use it in real games.
