  • Live to be 80 and retire to an assisted living apartment. The slight differences in life expectancy really show up at the back end. My grandpa spent a year as the only man on his floor and got all the geriatric pussy he could handle. Plus, since he was nearly blind from macular degeneration, he imagined them all as beautiful.

    Take care of your health, and good luck with the ladies!

  • I remember when the Speaker of the House, Bob Livingston, called for Clinton to resign over the Lewinski scandal. Then announced that he too had an extramarital affair, held himself to the same standards, and issued his own resignation. It was about to come out anyway. The investigative journalists at Hustler magazine thought it would be interesting for the public to know how many of the impeachment managers were unfaithful to their wives, and Livingston's name came up.

    Livingston was replaced as speaker by Dennis Hastert who, so far as I know, never slept with a woman other than his wife. He did however eventually go to prison for raping little boys who were not his wife.

  • Elliptical orbit is what you get when all gravity vectors point to a single source such as Earth's center of mass. If you instead make the "flat Earth" assumption that all gravity vectors are parallel, then you get a parabola. Since most of us aren't throwing things very far on a planetary scale, the parabolic approximation is frequently considered "good enough".

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.
