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

When Rogers lunged at Gaetz - out of habit Gaetz said - sir I don't even know your teenage daughter (stole that joke from a talk show host). Cheers!

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. If, by some ... less

They made my life so much better, simply by sharing their music and singing talent. I listened SO much to their music. And I still do.By my listening, I credit them particularly, and Johnny Nash, with helping me grow through my younger years with more happiness.(Stu Spelling Bee's question gave me a way to share my thoughts.)

The irony of a member of the Trump family trying to talk about values is certainly off the charts but there is nothing that this family won't do to earn a quick buck. Cheers!

Then the class bully walked into the washroom and asked me why I was being a big baby and crying. I explained what was going on and he said - eeeeey you have to pull the zipper down then he left. The next day he started talking to me and we eventually became friends. Cheers!
For me: having clean fingernails (minor), and the fact that the acquisition of and consumption of alcohol has such importance to so many people (major).~

Problems of Orthodoxy in America
The Spiritual Problem
by Father Alexander Schmemann
This is an incredibly insightful and penetrating essay which, when written decades ago in the sixties, probably applied almost solely to America. Unfortunately, after the fall of Communism secularism began to make steady inroads into historically Orthodox countries. While in Romania in January, 2008, I distinctly remember the highly esteemed Bishop Vasile of Cluj-Napoca remarking with great sadness that secularism was perhaps the greatest threat to the Church in Romania, and that stemming its tide seemed almost hopeless. Other pious Romanians lamented the abrupt loss of morality and Christian virtue in general that began... less

If you've been trying to sell your car for 20 years without success, that is no reason to give up hope.2) You have to put your car out there.3) Remember, the buyer is just as nervous as you are.4) Don't put your buyer on a pedestal. It's up to them to impress you, not the other way round.5) Exercise Drive your car every day6) Shower Wash your car every day7) Be honest.8) Fake it till you make it. If you convince yourself that your car is a Ferrari, buyers will see it as a Ferrari.9) If a buyer rejects your car because it's ugly, then it just proves he or she is shallow. You deserve someone better.10) If you find you can't sell your car, maybe you need to lower your standards. Be realistic - you're not going to get an aristocrat or a movie star to buy your car.11) Don't seal the deal on a first date meeting with a potential buyer. The buyer will respect your car more if you make him wait.12) My friend manages to sell two, maybe three, cars every week, and they're way uglier, slower an... less

And I also think that the horrible things he is talking about are him having to pay back taxes. He also might of meant it as a treat which kind of seems more likely. Cheers and happy New Year!
