so heres the secret guys. everyone should know what edging is, its beating off until youre about to cum then you stop yourself. this is said to strengthen your dick as well as strengthen your ability to control your ejac. so basically what you do is throw on some porn and queue for a game of dota. watch the porn and when you get a game pause the video. play like regular. whenever you die switch screens (assuming you have two monitors, if you have 1 monitor just alt-tab) and start watching porn and then go back to the game when you respawn. Keep doing this for the entire game. If you lose you're allowed to beat off BUT you have to edge, as in you cant come. If you win, JUST watch. Rinse and repeat. I personally have done this for the duration of 4 losses of dota. not only is my mmr increasing but so is my sexual endurance!!!!!! try it out!!!!!

EDIT: going to clarify because some may not understand the exercise science behind this technique. basically edging is masturbating until youre about to come, then you clench your pee muscles and stop so you dont. this also involves gritting your teeth and thinking of any gross things imaginable like your grandparents having sex. so basically this procedure is just alternating between edging (whenever something tilt inducing happens) and playing dota. if you lose do some edging, and you'll feel refreshed and ready to play another game. the reason we edge instead of actually coming is because then we'd have to masturbate like 20x times a day. this way we are stoning 2 birds at once by increasing ur sexual endurance AND your mmr. BTW im 5k mmr and this works so stop hating u shitstains

It's curiious they'd remove something they spent a good deal of the live stream showing off. I wonder if they decided milking the high rollers with exclusive jpegs is too much work for the limited reward, and that their credibility with ship exclusivity will be basically zero anyway after this sale. So it's time to dangle a new carrot for the biggest whales. The play might be tease the rubes with a new way to show you're better than the average Shitizen, take it away to make them feel like they're really missing out and then reel them in with an absurdly expensive package when the cash flow is looking a bit thin.

They have to have thought this through.

You can do such exciting things as:

- Fall through the floor
- Spend more money on more ships
- Walk around your ship, until a time when you fall through the floor.

The white knight got probated but this thread still smells like poo poo. Anyone got any ideas to fix that? Perhaps involving crock pot recipes?

Crock Pot Pork Butt for easy pulled pork

Depending on the size of your crock pot, select a pork butt of an appropriate size. I generally get one between 3-4 pounds so that's what I'm assuming here.


Step 1: Dry seasonings
Depending on the shape of your pork butt and size of your skillet, you may want to subdivide it into smaller pieces first if you're going to brown the meat, which is generally recommended.
Dry the surface of the pork butt before applying seasonings; you want to remove excess moisture from the entire surface area. Be thorough but don't go crazy, it should be a quick process.
Gently spread and rub in dry seasonings to lightly and evenly coat the entire surface area of the pork butt.
There's no science I can provide for exact quantities here, how much people use and how heavily they season the rub will vary. Do what looks okay to you and next time you can adjust based on your own preferences and technique.
The basic set is salt and pepper. I throw in paprika and cayenne pepper as well and call it good - more or less equal parts of each. You can use garlic powder or onion powder depending on your desired level of effort; if you're adding onions or garlic to the crock pot obviously don't add them to the dry rub.

Step 2: (Optional) Browning the meat:
I mince up some garlic here for browning, but you can skip it.
Use a large cast iron skillet on high heat, lightly oiled to prevent the meat sticking. If you want to add garlic, now is where you add a little bit of extra oil, throw in your minced garlic, and brown it real quick. If you're not confident about being able to brown the meat with the garlic together without burning the garlic, you can pull the garlic out (a slotted spoon works) and leave the oil) then add the meat. That's how I do it, but you could probably do both at the same time.
Brown the meat on all sides, removing after all sides are completely browned.

Step 3: Load up the crock pot
(Optional): Take a medium to large-sized white or yellow onion, slice into rings, throw into crockpot. You should have a loose bed of onion ring slices on the bottom of the crockpot.
Place your pork butt (if you did it whole, congratulations) into the crockpot. Turn it/arrrange pieces to be as flat and low as possible. Add optional browned garlic to the crock pot (pack in between pieces, sprinkle on top, whatever).
Crack open your beer of choice. About half a bottle will do for my crock pot. You're not trying to cover everything, you're just adding some liquid and sugar to keep it moist while it cooks. Coke works as well, for the non beer drinkers. If you want to be fancy and use wine, whatever. Chicken stock? Fine. Your liquid of choice will affect the flavor but you shouldn't need more than a cup and a half

Step 4: Cooking
Cover up the crock pot, put it on low, and set a timer for 8 hours. Check up on it every once in a while; if the liquid is running low add a little more. You don't want it to run completely dry or the meat will start to dry out.

Step 5:
At this point, the meat should be tender. You should be able to easily stick a fork in and twist it to separate the meat. If your pork butt was bone-in, you should be able to grab the bone and pull it out and have the rest of the meat just fall off on its own. If it's not tender yet, add more liquid and give it more time.

Pull out the pork and transfer it to a large bowl. In the large bowl, shred the pork. You can use your hands, or you can grab two forks, whatever works for you. The pork should shred easily. If you have any bones or large fat chunks, pick them out. Once the pork is shredded, you have a decision to make.

Option A:
Use the remaining cooking liquid - Empty out the remaining contents of the crock pot into a small bowl through a strainer discarding everything but the liquid, then slowly add the strained cooking liquid to the shredded pork while mixing until the pork is as moist as you want it.

Option B:
Use the sauce of your choice - discard what's left in the crock pot, take your sauce, and add it to the shredded pork while mixing until the pork is as moist as you want it. I find Buffalo Wild Wings' wing sauce to go surprisingly well with pulled pork, but you can use whatever BBQ or wing sauce you like.

Step 6:
Serve. You can throw it in a bowl, or on a plate, or make a sandwich. I'm not here to tell you how to eat it.

If you want to keep it warm for a while, you can transfer it back to the empty crock pot, add a little more liquid, and leave it on low more or less indefinitely. Leftovers freeze well, and you can either reheat it in a pot, or just throw it into the microwave to warm it up. Whatever you do, you'll probably want to add some sauce/liquid before heating to keep it moist and tender. Personally I eat it straight out of a bowl on Day 1 and leftovers get used for sandwiches, but YMMV.
