That sounds like a roar of delight.

Making sure you get enough sleep is the most important thing. Apart from that, it’s a matter of getting used to it. The first week or so might be tough, but you’ll hopefully become used to it with time. Also, I don’t know if you’re fond of stuff like coffee, but that helped one of my library friends when they worked overnight.

Doesn’t seem possible by definition?

Given that omorashi is sexual by definition, no, it’s not possible, by definition. I hope this is a purely philosophical question.

I heard a case at work and saw relevant questions on Reddit so it’s not personal, if that’s what you’re asking. I was just trying to put all the debates together into one question. There are discussions/debates about whether someone can be asexual and enjoys kink. There’s an article that says asexuality and kink aren’t mutually exclusive. What do you think? If they are not mutually exclusive, and omorashi is considered a kink, then isn’t it possible to be asexual and enjoy omorashi (or any kink) then? There’s also a BBC documentary on whether pedophilia is a choice or a kind of sexuality. What do you think? How does that intersect with other categories/definitions of sexualities?

Oh, OK, if your kink is philosophical discussions on reddit, I recommend adding some philosophical perspectives, such as the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy entry on sex & sexuality (bit.ly/stanford-sexuality), which also provides an extensive bibliography on the subject.

A man who is willing to let his guard down and let me in. Wall, I have checked dating websites, I volunteer, also I attended church regularly. To no avail no man in sight. Where are they hiding? Do they no longer exist? Wall my love, I am ready for love but I cannot find it. Wall I need you.?

Oh, sweet poster, my heart goes out to you. I wish I had an easy answer. So much really depends on luck and circumstances. It sounds like you are taking many positive steps already. I did a little research and found an interesting article (bit.ly/DateStance) that suggested having an open stance (physically taking up more space) made one much more approachable as a potential date. And one of my helpers suggested that taking the initiative (asking men for dates – but yes, first you do have to locate one!) is a good strategy. Best of luck!

My first thought was Eagle Swirl, but.. maybe not. I had a nice chat with an employee at the White Mountain Creamery across Comm Ave, and she said unequivocally that the most popular flavor among BC students is Cookie Monster (vanilla with cookie dough, oreos and cookie crunch.) Sounds delicious!

I enjoy watching the horses leap over walls and hedges, and watching the runners leap gracefully over those little walls called hurdles. But did you see Sifan Hassan fall, then get up and win the 1500m? https://www.nbcolympics.com/news/dutch-runner-falls-wins-provides-indelible-olympic-moment She smashed that barrier. (Yes, this wall likes watching people break walls, but only metaphorical ones.)

That is very inspiring! And yes, breaking walls are awesome! I think we should break all the institutional walls – psychiatric hospital, jail, police station, border, maybe Fr. Leahy’s house, and any system that coerces, oppresses, and holds unjust power! What do you think, wall? 🙂

Walls–even metaphorical ones–can be both protective and restrictive. All I can say is: be very careful which walls you advocate for bringing down. For instance, the Internet has brought down many walls around information, which means information has been democratized, right? It’s a good thing! At the same time, many barriers between information and disinformation have been blurred, much to our detriment. Be careful what you wish for.

Eeek! You’re not godzilla, are you? That creature breaks too many walls.

Wait, what WHAT? I am a (semi) omniscient Wall – how did I not know about these? Many thanks – and I know what my weekend plans are, now. With you down the rabbit hole. There’s no way to say no to this. bit.ly/CutsOfHam

There’s even more! This list has almost all cut songs (there are some cut verses too!), but as to what I remember, there was also One Last Ride and One Last Ride [Reprise]. (Also, I might see Hamilton in a few months (ehem, almost all dates are already booked), I can hardly stay calm! I can’t believe my definition of the perfect day is to watch Hamilton in real life (with the original cast, as well as to meet them after the show and to have a nice long chat with Lin The Great himself). It has really consumed by entire being, but I don’t think I mind anymore.)

To see Hamilton live, what an exciting possibility! We are unlikely to achieve perfection, we can’t just rewind… or do you think the original cast would ever reunite for a performance, and if so, could any mortal human or wall afford the tickets? But seeing the show live with the current cast would surely make you satisfied and feeling lucky to be alive right now.

You are killing me with these Hamilton puns, haha! I wish Hamilton merch was cheaper, I want to buy it all! Is it cheating if I just get a custom t-shirt company to print the Hamilton logo instead of buying it from the official store? But how can I say no to the merch, I want the world to know that I love Hamilton.

I do enjoy allusions. You could do worse than to put this on a shirt: “How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
spot in the Caribbean by Providence impoverished in squalor
grow up to be a hero and a scholar?”

AI has insidiously become part of all of our worlds in ways that we hardly yet understand. Yes, it’s all messed up. A Human’s Guide to Machine Intelligence (O’Neill Library Q335 .H675 2019) by Kartik Hosanagar, an AI designer, might help you understand their biases better.

? away, ??? will play!

from a childhood commercial.. I was gonna guess the answer to be 3..but in reading the outcome of so many tests.i have to ask… Did any of the licking machines have actual saliva in them? I believe our salive has a ph and bacteria that promote digestion and decomposition..seems like that’s a pretty good reason why the actual licks took less time ?? I would love to hear the answer

Much of the published literature is kinda lacking in discussion of details like that. But this 2013 study determined that ph was not as much of a factor as where on the pop the licking happens. https://bit.ly/bc-tp

Very interesting. Seems to be run by good folk, and Alice and I get a lot of the same questions.

Of course! I may be a wall, but I’m not a cave wall; I have a direct line to the internet. Here’s 50: https://www.twinenglishcentres.com/blog/learn-to-say-hello-in-50-languages. My modern young friend the video wall above the reference desk in the O’Neill Library Lobby also welcomes patrons in a little over a dozen languages. You should drop by and see them!

I’d love to! It’ll be a bit difficult for me to participate physically, but here’s to hoping some of my library friends can help me out when the time comes.

The same way humans hug when their arms can’t reach: with words, or with (((((((hug))))))).

lorona dorona torona!

Yeah, that does seem to be what July is doing this year. Me, I’m just happy the Fire Weather warnings have gone away.
