My 9 year old got it in about 3 minutes, but only after I told him to slow down and read everything on the page. He started with furious swiping right off the bat. I started by reading everything and thinking through moves in my head withou

My Dad owned a "boat" without any shame. I don't think it was entirely derogatory. Or even if it were, that social pressure obviously wasn't very effective.

I don't think porn is as bad as some people say, but there are downsides, and good quality erotica seems like a healthier alternative. Whether a human or a computer writes it seems unimportant.

The economic cost of driving energy prices through the roof will be most harmful to the poor. This is well established, and likely unavoidable. As an overall portion of their expenses, the poor pay much more for energy than the wealthy. Dri
