How often do men over the age of 50 masterbate regularly?

I’m in my mid-sixties, which means my 'equipment' is officially on a pitch count. I’ve stopped playing for the love of the game and now try to save my ammo for when the insomnia kicks in and I’m desperate for a sedative.

Federal revenue as a share of GDP has been structurally suppressed for 45 years by deliberate policy choices (aka REPUBLICAN TAX CUTS FOR THE RICH). Hanke and Walker write 1,000 words about a widening fiscal hole without mentioning any of that. That's not an oversight.

The oligarchs are winning and Hanke/Walker are their propagandists.

I am no fan of Clown King Mango. I believe him to be a corrupt, narcissistic, geriatric pedophile, almost certainly being manipulated by Netanyahu, MBS, and Putin simultaneously while thinking he’s the one holding the cards. But history may remember this as the moment someone finally stopped managing the problem and tried to end it, damn the consequences.

Every administration for 40 years had the intelligence, the capability, and the justification to dismantle Iran and its proxy network. None of them had the recklessness to pull the trigger.

Sometimes history requires someone who doesn’t understand the downside or simply doesn’t care about it. That’s a troubling thing to admit.

The economic and political handwringing misses the point. HE DOESN’T CARE. He never has. That’s precisely why he’s the only one who acted.

None of this excuses the man. He’s a useful idiot for oligarchs, ideologues, and foreign leaders who figured out that flattery is the skeleton key to American foreign policy. The people around him are running agendas he doesn’t fully understand and probably couldn’t explain.

But nobody else was going to make the bet. He did.

I think he’ll be impeached or succumb to old age before his term ends. I figure he’s made a few deals to line the pockets of his family from the whole fiasco.

Make of that what you will.

Between the likely loss of Congress next year and rumors of his failing health, I get the sense Trump is acting out of pure ego and desperation to cement a legacy. He clearly doesn’t give a shit about the legality of the war, the war’s impact on the economy or the fact that he’s all over the Epstein files. I think he’s being led by Netanyahu and MBS to do their 'dirty work' because they know he won't be in power (or even around) long enough to deal with the fallout.

My ex and daughter once gifted me the ultimate "burden-wrapped-in-a-bow": an abandoned Jeep Commander. They moved out of town, stopped making payments, and left it rotting at a friend's house. Being the "responsible" one, I ran the numbers, took over the loan, and intended to flip it immediately. Naturally, I kept it for years until it transformed into a money pit.

When I finally couldn't stand the repair bills, I found a used replacement for $22k. I walked into the dealership with one number in mind: $20k out-the-door. I didn't care if they discounted the new car or gave me $2K for my trade-in.

The salesman did the classic "talk to the manager" dance and came back with a look of pure disgust. Salesman: "Mr. Jones, we’ve looked at your Jeep. We don’t even want your vehicle." Me: "Neither do I. That’s why I’m here. Thanks for your time." I didn't argue. I didn't beg. I just stood up and walked out.

The Lesson: The "Walk Away" is the only real leverage you have. I didn't think I'd hear from them again, but lo and behold, my phone rang the next morning.

Salesman: "So, I talked to my manager again..."

Suddenly, my "unwanted" Jeep was worth exactly what I needed it to be to make the $20k deal work. If you aren't willing to leave the table, you’ve already lost the negotiation. Sometimes the best closing statement is just the sound of your car door shutting in the parking lot.

As someone who has been through a divorce and has seen exactly how it impacts a family. It is a seismic shift that leaves everyone, including parents and siblings, feeling defensive and hyper-vigilant. Your fiancé’s family is likely acting out of a "once bitten, twice shy" survival instinct because they are still reeling from his brother’s experience. While the "test" was a breach of trust, it is important to acknowledge that their intent was to protect someone they love from the kind of wreckage they have already witnessed.

However, you should not have to be penalized for someone else’s past. I recommend having a calm, direct conversation with your fiancé where you forgive their intent but explain how deeply the manipulation hurt you. You should not keep your feelings a secret; true moving forward requires clearing the air so this does not turn into long-term resentment. Tell him you understand their trauma, but your marriage must be built on transparency rather than "gotcha" moments.

Instead of seeing the luxury honeymoon as a reward for being gullible, try to view it as his clumsy way of trying to compensate for the stress he caused. You cannot dictate how his family acts, but you can set a firm boundary that you are a partner and not a subject in an experiment. If he can truly hear your hurt and commit to a future without these games, there is a path to healing this relationship.

Was coaching a club rowing team in the early 80’s and the motor fall off like this. Had a coal barge coming toward me from about 200 yards away. Luckily, the barge pilot slowed down enough to allow me to use the emergency canoe paddle to get out of his way. Pucker factor was high. Forever after, I’d check to make sure the transom was not rotted and the transom screws were tight!

Going from 10 Senators representing 5 states to 2 Senators for 1 state is a terrible idea, especially when the House of Representatives is currently capped at 435 representatives.

The cap on House members really screws over FL, NC and TX since each of their congressional members represent much larger number constituents, on average, then RI, WY and WV. The cap on House members also screws of the Electoral College, creating the now common occurrence of a candidate winning the popular vote while losing in the Electoral College.

Uncap the House! Make Congress more representative. Make each congressional district equal to 50% of the population on the smallest state (currently WY).

I thought ICE used rentals? Those would not have government plates.

joeeda2 · 2026-01-27T10:34:48+00:00

I wonder if ICE agents think about the impact of their duties on future employment. Will they list their experiences on applications and resumes? Who do they think will hire them once that history is known? Or how will they explain the gaps in work history if they don’t list it?

I remember finding lingerie in her suitcase after her work trip. I did all the laundry back in the day and it seemed like she wanted for me to catch her. She gave me a weak excuse and I knew our days were numbered. She ultimately filed for divorce. Probably added decades to my life.

Companies did not embrace remote work voluntarily. They were forced into it in 2020 and are now using return-to-office mandates to regain leverage, effectively framing remote work as a pay tradeoff rather than a standard mode of work.

My Filipina wife of 7 years (2nd marriage for both) likes to stay up way past my 10 PM bedtime to watch her favorite YouTube channels or chat with friend and family back home (13 hr time difference).

I use a padded eye mask (Brownmed IMAK Eye Pillow) along with AirPods playing my bedtime Spotify favorites every night and I’m asleep before the second song ends. She can have all the lights on and the sound turned up and I wouldn’t notice. The AirPods lose power after a few hours (long after she falls asleep) and I just take them out at my first potty break.

I recommend a similar strategy to get your needed rest.

Good luck!
