Is this, by any chance, about Rosa DeLauro representing Connecticut's third congressional district?

Apparently 'Shylock' and 'shyster' are etymologically unrelated. Shylock is a Jewish moneylender from Shakespeare, and not a particularly pleasant fellow. Shyster is from the Germanic word for shit, and also used to describe a disreputable person of any race or religion.

A town I used to live in hosted an annual festival in the riverfront park. The free event was largely funded by beer sales and drinking in public was encouraged during the shows. However there were stages on both sides of main street, which remained open to road traffic and was not included in the event's alcohol permit. Yes -- the police did watch the street and remind people to finish their beer before crossing.

1. I'm old enough to legally view any form of pornography that's legal to create.
2. There is no legitimate government interest in monitoring my pornographic habits.

For those who enjoy a little racism with their misogyny, there's a way to disambiguate one of the B colors.

Learn to shift based off the sound of the engine, don't stare at the tachometer.

Unless you're like my grandpa who had his engine replaced at 20k miles because he revved the engine until he could hear it running before putting it into gear. Between quieter modern engines, and his hearing not being as good as it once was, that meant he redlined it in the driveway every time he started the engine.

He only got a couple more years out of the new engine, but that was because he couldn't turn his head very well either so he didn't bother looking before changing lanes.

I, personally, have no issue with being gay, agender, or affectionately or sarcastically referring to oneself as a faggot, but none of that is relevant to the particular usage that got you in trouble.

You weren't talking about yourself. You tried to bait another party into using hate speech to escalate a dispute. You wanted to weaponize a slur to play the victim and get someone else in trouble. And you did so in a public place where your behavior caused offense to bystanders.

Fraternal service association, like Elks Club or Rotary Club? They may have traditions, but not a theology. They're nominally harmless, if not beneficial, both to members and to the community at large. They're easy to leave, just stop paying your dues.

Uff-da

If you fry them with enough butter and garlic, even bugs taste like food.

I didn't comment in that thread, but did read it. It looked like you got a few helpful responses (none of which recommended this community) before the mods stepped in. Maybe you spent too much time arguing with other commenters. Maybe your deleted comments in other recent threads about divorce and Jews persuaded the mods that you weren't acting in good faith. Not sure if you'll do any better in this even less appropriate forum, but good luck.

Some affiliate marketer running A/B/C/D analytics on a fake review site. Maybe one of the sites gets better SEO rankings, or a higher click-through rate on the payload. The data will be duly noted and applied to the optimization of future reviews and review blogs.

None of the "reviewers" reviewed anything, or was ever in the same room as any of the products "tested". No effort was made to provide value to you, the reader. Everything on those pages is committed to a single purpose: defrauding Google into defrauding their user base with bad search results. Probably LLM co-authored too, but I've seen similar things before the recent AI boom.

Marketers will destroy anything of value if allowed. This is why we can't have nice things.

Wilt Chamberlain claimed to have fucked 10,000 women. Maybe he was embellishing, but it's not a completely unreasonable number over a career. And it was a good era to be going for the record: after effective antibiotics for syphilis, before AIDS and paternity testing.

I've found it amusing when bestiality laws explicitly exempt artificial insemination and other 'customary' animal husbandry practices. It's completely legal to fondle your livestock when your motive is profit. Do it for love and go to prison, sicko. It's almost the exact opposite of human-human prostitution laws.

Some do, and inter-library loans are a thing.

I now see that the body part in the penultimate image is an eyelid. The first one still looks like pink fuzzy penises to me. What do you think it is?

So don't poop in the kitchen sink. Got it!

There are, and my state would have banned those too it they'd heard about them when they were banning RCV. They weren't making principled objections like monotonicity failures. They likely noticed that most of RCV's loudest advocates were from the wrong party (and some of the were the wrong color too!), and figured that was a good enough reason to shut it down.

I haven't seen the bombers name, picture, or manifesto. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that this was a terrorist and a bad person. I promise not to change my mind about this tomorrow when more details about the bombers background are known.

I would have understood Michaelmas as the feast day of Saint Michael. My studies of hagiography are too limited to say which day that is or why he got sainted. Nor did I know that British people used (maybe still use) that term to refer to an entire season.
