  • It’s not possible to season titanium. It is indestructible and soaks up nothing

    No I wouldn’t say it’s very good for frying. I make pancakes on the trail in the pan with lots of olive oil (more than i would use at home, trying to get calories while long distance hiking)

    I use the titanium pots for things like mac and cheese, beans and rice, instant potatoes, or even just tea/coffee

    I have a jetboil nonstick pan that I still use more than the titanium honestly. I like to have pocket steaks on the first night of a hike

    The main appeal to me with titanium is its weight and the fact that you can clean it by throwing it in the fire at the end of the night. In the morning you dump the ashes and it’s completely sanitized and clean.



  • Where are you from?

    Sounds weird but I collect titanium objects. They are so good.

    I have 500ml and 1000ml camping pots. A titanium frying pan. My favourite is my titanium bong. You can drive over it with a truck and it can be cleaned perfectly by throwing it into the coals of a campfire. I’ve broken so many glass bongs over the years and this one is indestructible and can be carried anywhere at just 100g.



  • Hell no it isn’t lol. Fuck that person and hope they have a shit life

    Congrats on your tags. Were you one of the ones in my thread calling me a rapist?

    Do you have me tagged as “regarded”? Why would i propose to someone that falsely accused me of raping them?

    I found someone who treats me like a human. I am getting older and proposing seems like the right thing to do in the near future.

    Honestly go fuck yourself. In real life are you also this little dark cloud that floats around?







  • I was in a similar position. Honestly man, travel and enjoy. You earned it.

    I went to iceland 10 times in my 20s and I don’t regret spending that money at all.

    I started saving when I was 30 and I now own a condo at 32 and have slowed down. If you can make money now then you can later too.

    I think that my travels in my 20s made me into the man I am today and you should do the same thing.

    Rent a 4x4 in iceland and drive to askja volcano and swim in it. Go to wacken open air in Germany. Buy a truck and drive through Yukon and NWT to the Arctic ocean. Or with your money, spend 30k on a porsche and put studded tires in it and do it in style. Not all cars depreciate. 987.2 Cayman will double in price in 10 years. It’s a stock you can buy that you can physically enjoy

    You seem set on investing so I would invest the portion you would otherwise spend in rent, and spend the rest. You don’t get your 20s back

    If you take anything from this, buy a porsche, it’s a stock on wheels if you shop for the right one. There is no money better spent than on the best car ever made that increases in value as it gets older. Look for a manual transmission 2009-2010 cayman with an interesting colour spec and you can drive it and make money.

    What are your hobbies? I have collected made in japan shredder guitars over the years that have quadrupled in price. Tangible objects can make you money without being boring stock investments.



  • Losing friends is way worse than losing girls. There’s no real playbook for navigating this. Lots of stuff about navigating breakups. But being ghosted and hated by bros who knew me 15+ years who I spent my 20s with travelling the world just cuts so deep.

    Would love to not allow them to live rent free here but man, I think about those guys every friggin day. Been in therapy for this for over a year now and have to admit I haven’t made any real progress on this front

    I’m actually doing pretty good now things considered. My new gf is such a sweetheart and just after a year of dating I think im gonna marry her. I never had any intention of marrying my ex even when things were going well. Something about her just scared me and I couldn’t put my finger on it (autist here, bad at picking up on social queues)

    When she finally was out of my life my dad helped me buy a house. Said he was waiting for her to be gone for 8 years and that’s why he wasn’t giving me any monetary help. GOATed dad.

    The beginning of this new relationship was rocky. Once I started taking her out to local concerts and she saw all the eyes glaring at me she questioned herself why I am so universally hated despite not seeing any red flags to indicate I’m a bad guy. I’m so grateful she didn’t bail on me over this…

    Thanks for letting me share this with you. I don’t have many outlets to say this irl.


  • The other reason I haven’t move is because there are also a couple of long term friends I miss deeply and I think if I just hold on for a while they will come back around

    Ex has a new bf who is one of my former acquaintances and I think eventually she will pull the same shit on him and people will see I am not the badman

    Didn’t originally want to forgive any ex friends but I can totally understand why they took her side (she’s good at this) and I think I’m ready to forgive if they meet me halfway




  • I think you read my thread about losing all my friends. Yeah i was falsely accused of rape and almost lost everything. Time has passed and I am still wished dead by many. I haven’t found any way to defend myself or redeem myself. Nobody will ever believe me. Thanks for your words. Shit sucks.

    I agree with your view on women being oppressed, but holy hell, being the man in this particular situation is plain unfair. It’s a miracle I didn’t kill myself

    To be clear I didn’t “go through it” - this is going to follow me for the rest of my entire life I think.

    And I know for a fact you aren’t this evil because a narcissist would never carry themselves the way you do. They pretend they are harmless until behind closed doors.
