It's an SS post, he always means Jews when he goes on about ethnicities doing bad things.

Can you IP ban people? I assume that the functionality must exist somewhere, at least. It's not perfect but it's better than nothing.

One note on the photochromic lens suggestion: do not try to use these as your only pair of glasses (like I did). If you're in a situation where you need to be in photos outside, they will darken (which may or may not be an issue for the specific photo, I suppose). Blue light filter will also show up in photos (your glasses will have a blue tint to them). I wound up getting a new pair of plain clear lenses for my wedding just so that I would look normal in the wedding photos.
They also don't work in the car, which is one of my big use cases for sunglasses. It's a bummer.

It sounds like maybe the problem is not having a place you consistently put them? If my glasses aren't on my face (or in my hands), they are in one of exactly two places: the nightstand next to my bed (while I sleep), or the bathroom vanity (while I shower). Consequently, losing my glasses just isn't a thing that happens in my life.

Two is one and one is none. Get three pairs. Nothing sucks more than not being able to find your glasses when you absolutely need to go out the door.
I can't agree with this. Having a tinted pair is often worth it (see my other post), but three pairs is way too much. Also, it's not hard to keep track of your glasses so you shouldn't ever be in the situation where you can't find them.

I recommend (if you can afford it) getting a pair of prescription sunglasses to go with your regular ones. Sunglasses don't go over glasses very well, so it's nice to have prescription ones when you are driving and the sun is in your eyes. Also, if your regular glasses break (as just happened to me recently) you can use the sunglasses as an emergency backup.

I think it's funny that you say that, because based on your stories about your life I tend to imagine you as a sort of Errol Flynn figure. Just going around to different exotic places and seducing beautiful women there, lol.

I want to read about secular monks. Can you share the original (but mistaken) link? It sounds really interesting.

Can the semen even escape the bonds of JB Weld? I didn't think such a thing was possible!

I doubt the Orthodox Jewish community will let this slide, though. They're essentially single-issue voters.
It's not like they can do anything to him. He's already been elected for his second term as president, and he couldn't have another even if they did vote for him. It's not like we have recall elections for presidents either. So why would he care?

Everything else aside, on the semen retention: what stops you having nocturnal ejaculation?
Clearly, the only solution here is to epoxy your penis shut. Only then can you reach your true seminal potential.

Probably something on the order of $20-40 a month. Depends how fancy it is set up, and how much traffic we get.

This made me laugh way harder than it should've. Well done, I thought about nominating this for AAQC but figured the mods would just be annoyed if I did.

Yeah, that basically lines up with what I've heard. If anything the reputation suggests that one should be prepared for actual violence. Trash talk I expect, friendly trash talk between rival fans is part of the fun! But throwing stuff at people, cursing, etc is a shame.

Are Philly fans as bad as their rep suggests? I've heard stories but it's hard to know whether the reputation is earned or if it's exaggerated.

I definitely agree with this. I think that calling the Jan 6 riot a "coup" or similar terms is pure sensationalism. It is even worse when you have the direct contrast of other, similar riots all throughout 2020. The very same people condemning Jan 6 condoned those riots, if not outright approved of them. I try to be charitable, but I genuinely can find no charitable explanation of this double standard which seems plausibly true to me.

I think he's saying that his total time working gets him $25, not that he gets $25/hr.

MOTTE ROOTING INTEREST: If you enjoyed any of my posts, root for the Eagles.
It will be a cold day in hell before I root against my beloved green and gold. For one thing, I'm pretty sure there would be a warrant out for my arrest the next time I visited home. ;)
Honestly I am rooting for the Lions just because their fans deserve it. I respect anyone who sticks with a team that sucks as badly as the Lions have, for as long as they have. Unless they wind up playing the Packers, in which case see previous statement.

My wife was very nice and got me some children's books in Spanish when she was visiting Mexico last year. It's very humbling how I can't even make it through the back cover blurb without being stumped on things I'm reading. I took Spanish as my language requirement in college, and I started practicing again with Duolingo a year or so ago, but it turns out I still would be put to shame by a 7-year-old in my grasp of the language.

I've never read The Handmaid's Tale, what did you think of it?
I really enjoyed The Handmaid's Tale. I thought the setting was interesting, and I found it to be surprisingly hopeful at times (given that it's a dystopian fiction work). Shame that the show became such a travesty, but I never have high hopes for book adaptations.

89 books in a year is quite a few. I'm a fairly voracious reader and I don't come close to that. That's 1.7 books per week!! To make that happen, I would have to give up almost all my free time outside of work to reading. And that's simply never going to happen - I enjoy reading, but I also enjoy programming, playing music, spending time with my wife, cooking, building models, and playing video games too. Reading is fun and important, but not so fun and important that it deserves to crowd out every other use of leisure time.

I see... I misunderstood your comment.
I'm not really here to argue for or against his point. I'm just saying, that's his schtick.
