I don’t have a subtitle, and it doesn’t interest me.
Yes you can. Just call them up.
If you think it is good conversation technique to presume that everything always happens in its most extreme way, then I will still discuss with you because I am a troll.
Just tell us the idea, and I’ll figure out how to patent it.
In fact, a broken clock is correct twice a day, while a working clock is probably never correct.
Cool, let’s buy a simmer ring. Should be pretty easy to buy.
the soton must be the biggest tzaddik then.
lol the Pew Report.
The opposite of living in a bubble is not being the soton’s librarian.
Do you like go around collecting bad stories about frum people and cataloging them?
It is good, in case the soton ever needs to be reminded of anything.
Wow, thanks for heads up. I could have totally missed the fast
Al ta’am vareiach tov l’hisvakeiach.
Also rhymes.
Don’t be ridiculous. Chazal knew the 365 1/4 day calendar was slightly incorrect, and chose to use it anyway because it is simpler.
And so did Julius Caeser.
I’ve lost my sensei.
I tried ptcha at a shteibel in monsey. I assume it was good ptcha, because everything else there was terrific.
I could not get it down.
Hmm, you are correct. It is pretty inappropriate.
I’ll consider stopping. Maybe try saying pretty pretty please.
lol, believe you me, if you knew popa’s wife, you would not have a safek whether you did. It would be pretty obvious. (very pretty obvious I might add)
Popa, that’s selfish. Even from a selfish POV, it depends on if you want them to come.
That was my point. That you want guests to come, so you should accommodate them to that extent.
You do whatever you want to do, and the guests come if they are able to.
I like to see what I posted on old threads. This one was pretty good. http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/when-parents-dont-support-a-shidduch/page/2#post-135895
I usually tell people I’m syag. I told that to midwesterner when we met in starbucks.
My wife went to beis yaakov intensive and anyone would be lucky to marry her. But they didn’t, so ha!
shkoyach writer, you can go a real seminary again
Yes, I’m taking issue with the notion that they don’t allow retesting in order to keep their “niche”, when in fact that is also necessary to keep their system of not giving out results, and that explains it much simpler.
But you aren’t picking on a policy which has anything to do with the effective monopoly!! There is one policy–that they don’t give out results and don’t want their service used to figure out results. You’re making up that the reason for that is so that writersoul won’t add on tay sachs to her 23andMe test–when the obvious reason is to protect their system of not figuring out results.
I’m sorry, it is obvious.
writersoul: You aren’t an idiot for not understanding a difference between knowing which gene you carry or knowing it is one of 10–you are an idiot for thinking that because you don’t understand that, that therefore they have some nefarious cockamanie scheme. (And I didn’t call you an idiot, you did.)
Ok but they agree with me, and that’s why they have the policy. Not for your conspiracy theory or to weed out the aliens sho are working for the NSA or any other conspiracy theory.
What is your big beef with these people that you’d rather ascribe their actions to condpiracy theories than to the much more starightforward normal theories?
You sound like me when I’m talking about NASI
In Little House on the Prairie, Laura and Mary sing “beans porridge”
Oh, I thought you just didn’t like fiction stories
writersoul: there’s no way I can read all that. How about just say that the reason they don’t let you get tested if you are already tested is that they want to secure their system of people not knowing if they are carriers.
And then we can all go to sleep.
Yeah, and I totally don’t believe you that you think there is nothing bad about being a carrier–you’ve basically said 20 times that you do.
No, you are misplacing what is the cause of the monopoly.
The monopoly is the result of them not telling you their results. Therefore, there can only be one organization because otherwise you could only know when you dated someone who happened to use the same organization.
And why in the world would you not think it significant the difference between knowing you are positive for 1 of 8 as opposed to knowing which one? how?
They care if you find out your own status is because then if you date yosef and you give in your DY numbers and are positive, then yosef will be able to know that he is positive for the same thing you are positive for. And DY does not want people to be able to use their program to figure that out.
I asked why you wanted to know if you have tay sachs gene to make a point. The only reason to want to know is if it matters in some way to you. Since it obviously does, it should not be surprising to you if there would be a stigma.
And genetic testing is not as simple as you think. It isn’t a matter of simply putting it in a machine and it spits out all the genes. Finding the tay sachs mutation involves looking specifically for that mutation.
writersoul:
If I understand correctly, your concern is that you will want to be tested for breast cancer and figure you may as well also be tested for tay sachs once you’re having a blood test?
1. Does it really work like that, that you can tack on tay sachs to breast cancer for a few more dollars? Is there really any relevance between being tested for one and the other? Or is it more like “I might want to go to Key Food and figure I may as well get tested for tay sachs once I’m leaving the house”.
2. Why do you want to be tested for tay sachs? Do you think that being a carrier makes a difference in your life somehow? Just who are you making fun of for making a stigma now?
3. Look, they want to have a system where people don’t know their own and other’s status, so that a stigma cannot be started. It makes sense that to protect that system they need to make sure people cannot use them to figure it out, which would happen if people were tested by someone else and then by them. I don’t find that unreasonable, and I don’t know why you don’t think that is the most simple explanation.
DY: I have no idea what you are talking about. I’ve never seen anyone posting on facebook warning people not to be tested for tay sachs because then dor yeshorim won’t let them be tested again.
DY, Writersoul,
I fail to see the monopoly issue that you are imagining.
You are saying that someone who is considering getting tested by someone else will not do so because if they are positive for something and they want to date someone who did dor yeshorim, then they will not be able to be re-tested by dor yeshorim, and that will convince them to not be tested by someone else to begin with.
However, people who are considering getting tested by someone besides dor yeshorim are not doing so with the intention to ever be retested by dor yeshorim, and are highly unlikely to know of this policy or to be considering it at all.
It is simply ridiculous to assume they are trying to target people whose intention was to be tested twice!!
Moreover, in your scenario the solution would have to be for the other person to be re-tested by an outside tester–which is a net loss of business to dor yeshorim, and the opposite of the intentions you ascribe. And this probably happens frequently, since people in the college world are generally tested by other organizations.
I changed my mind, you can go to a fake seminary after all.

I was about to post this, but noticed I did so a year ago.
They were not Random numbers, I have knowledge what room rentals , food and cleanup costs are.
Sure, let’s just go back to:
If you are going to charge $20 a person for admission and lets say you get 100 people thats $2000
I just interru–
Lets say you make up random numbers because you like thinking ill of people, does that mean you should or shouldn’t eat cheerios for breakfast?
I don’t get it. You mean that ALL the money is being used for the event? Then why are they bothering to hold the event.
(In other words, why are you so cynical about people?)
The cynic in you is an idiot because that makes no sense. Just what circumstance can you imagine under which someone would want to be retested and they would have a business reason to refuse?
DY: right, probably they didn’t have that policy then.
Another possible reason for that policy is that they are subsidized by donors, and do not want to waste their resources on duplicate testing.
My third and prettiest (size zero obviously) and most tzanua wife points out that little red riding hood was not tznius because she wore red.
Also, she talked to the wolf who was a man. It does NOT matter that she thought it was her grandmother. First, because the wolf did not think so. And second, because she should have been diligent and investigated!
