    My understanding is if you are using your company’s vpn for your browser than your opendns won’t be filtering. (For your kids you should probably try to block vpn’s with opendns) It is possible for your work vpn to have opendns built in.

    If you are an employer who doesnt want employees on youtube all day than wireguard is a good vpn option.

    You can’t believe Bolton or any other megalomaniac politician. Trump is beginning a civil war with China. There’s just illicit behavior coming from that regime that he might go after the ones affecting America first.

    the basic concept is eradication of oppression and poverty which are very jewish values.
    its obvious now that it doesnt work at all, besides for all the other issues like secularism that came with it.
    at the time the compromise seemed worth it.

    I believe there is a progression from abortion to gender reassignment surgery to excusing the murder of police because of “oppression”

    what started with misplaced feelings (abortion, gender) turned into outright nihilism (burning and looting)
    its shocking how such a huge population actually believes in it. thankfully with Trump they are not dominant

    no matter how imperfect a society is it is a lot better then the alternative. chazal

    Life is often rough, and people (myself included) are often not nearly as considerate and understanding as they should be. Having said that we can look it from a perspective of ‘mi kamcha yisroel’ that has amazing noble goals of raising a g-d-fearing family that we are extremely particular with how we go about doing it.

    “we have followed traditions and laws for so long” If you or children are feeling detached from yiddishkeit
    in short YOU have to reinvent YOUR Judaism that doesn’t revolve around social pressure. I dont mean change any mitzva or halacha rather change your view of habitual social Judaism

    In truth Judaism shouldn’t be any less in times like these because at the moment we are NOT REQUIRED to go to minyan etc.

    If you are looking for morality then you wouldn’t be able to vote for any candidate in any election anywhere, and its been like this for years. R’moshe Feinstien had stated the importance of participating in democratic system therefor the question becomes choosing the lesser of two evils. Role model is a factor to consider however there other probably more important factors.

    I never heard of this sefer from R’Epstein but everything mentioned is common sense. I don’t know anyone who strives to marry someone who is incompatible. edited I know people with aspergers who are happily married with kids. So called normal people can be happily compatible someone who is slightly autistic.

    In many ways JavaScript is the new Java. Its used everywhere from front end web to back end, and googledoc scripting, drones, video games
    its also pretty easy to learn because of its syntax and prevalent educational material available

    i do find that many of the jewish dev shops stick to PHP because of one founders is jewish (just kidding its stable and robust language)

    Its the exact opposite from what i can see. The stove, oven, lights and AC on for 25 hours straight. And in Israel they usually have smoke inefficient propane generators every shabbos.

    Maybe this would be true if we went like the tzidukim who lived in the dark all shabbos.

    I actually dont think from an environment, social, economic standpoint that banning is a good solution. if it isn’t “direct pay for direct problems” it doesn’t usually have the intended consequences.

    America is safer for Jews then any place or time in history including safer then 40 years ago. Ask anyone who been around.

    @Syag Lchochma I think you miss the point. He and many guys like him struggle with being considered on the lower end of stock. And the disinterested or handicapped guys who stay in yeshiva are automatically considered to have an advantage to him. And how is it honest for a girl to want a learning guy even though hes half as devoted as many working guys. About the movies, (secret) your typical BMG guy gets exposed to occasion TV shows or what not in the yeshiva dorm.
