I'd recommend these for a tactile psychedelic. I wouldn't say the experience is overtly sexual at all, but it doesn't get in the way and like many other activities the experience is enhanced. https://en.wikipedia.o

I live in a poor country like this -- it's odd to me that there is a huge stigma against giving even a few dollars directly to beggar children, but if it's a factory paying them the same amount for a day's work then it's

Why are you even comparing it to life in the wild anyway? These are animals that we're bringing into existence and the alternative is no existence at all. You clearly have no clue as to the intelligence of these animals and the complex

It didn't flip a switch for me because I never had any bias against someone for their accent. My question is why has this false, irrational belief about accents persisted for so long in America? There are tons of people in this thread

A million dollars would save hundreds of lives if directed to the right people or causes. If you are spending that amount of money all on yourself and your comfort in a few months, you're a bad person. It's that simple.

Yeah, I've gotten love letters too. But that doesn't change the reality of what I said! It's not legal, if you order enough they will charge you under the Federal Analogue Act... or even on a small order they'll make up

No. Under a reasonable set of values "what's good for the US" and "what's good for the world" are so often aligned that it's a very good heuristic.
