(I'm tired of depressing topics on Answermug.)Recent flashback: I was six when the Korean War (conflict actually, there was no war declared) began. Whenever my sister, brother, or myself asked our parents why we couldn't have... or why we didn't do... My father had a pat answer, "There's a war on!" Somewhere during this period, I learned to read. One day I was looking at the newspaper and on the front page, the headline read something like "Armistice Signed", "the war is over", so I was surprised when my father answered with the usual "There's a war on!" I decided that I'd better update him with the information in the newspaper. He was speechless. I don't know whether he was more shocked by my "back talk" or amazed by my knowledge, but he could never use that line again. less

Police said Daniel John O'Brien, 31, of Roselle, Ill., scaled an airport wall in the nude, attacked four security guards and stole their four-wheel-drive vehicle.
He drove the jeep onto the tarmac to a British Airways 747 that was readying for takeoff, smashing the vehicle’s top. Guards said O'Brien scrambled out of the wreckage, smeared grease on his bleeding shoulder, then ran back to the jetliner and threw himself into the engine.

I assumed a community within the online manosphere dedicated to “preserving a man’s sovereignty at all cost” would be fond of any kind of masculine refuge.I was wrong.“*******,” the Keymaster told me by phone. “The whole man-cave concept is shunned by MGTOW because the idea is that your wife gives you permission to make one room in the house — the basement — your own. It’s condescending. The man cave makes a mockery out of itself. Like Al Bundy, or one of those unfortunate television-dad morons who apologize to their wives for everything. Those guys need a man cave.”MGTOW (pronounced “MIG-tau,” at least per everyone I spoke with) is a worldwide social phenomenon and online... less

Unless you guys are emailing me, I don’t always know what’s being said in the Q&A.
As you all likely know, the site needs some TLC. The scope is not wholly known and cannot be known until we perform some much overdue maintenance and updates. I suspect the updates would likely fix many, if not most, of the issues you’re experiencing, but I do not have any guarantees with it.I hired a new developer to restore site functionality last October on an emergency basis. He quoted me at $550 for the above.
Most of you also know that the site is not here for profit. It’s never turned a profit. Most of the site has been paid for by me out of my own pocket with the occasional support of Muggers. I had hoped I’d be able to pay for the upgrades myself. I haven’t been able to and I don’t have a timeline on when I can.if you guys want to fund the updates, you are welcomed to contribute.

Not really that surprising when you consider that it's the party that brought us Trump and how many people voted against him in 2020, and it's a party inexorably tied to acts of murder and sedition on January 6th, 2021.
