Well... Outlandish is to think that replacing a huge amount of infrastructure of a type to another is as simple as your sentence makes it look like.

What kind of stupid person would think that we could have a cooperative, functional society where I can just be careless with my bike, right? What's the problem with these people? Sarcasm aside, I live in Brazil, ask any Brazilian who

Yeah, it's a force to be reckoned with, but that does not mean it's ethical.

Well, that makes almost everything humans do hedonic, doesn't it. Happiness in this case probably comprises of a state of mind different of perceptual pleasure.

I just want to point out that this is not restricted to 'fat' people, but a great majority of people who feel a huge pressure to adhere to a physical appearance standard without the proper education of how to get there and maintai

I agree with your reasoning, and that complements or corrects what I've written perfectly. The last paragraph is extremely sad though: that it would require a new complicated drug, procedure or technology to overcome the forces present

This is something that irritates me to the point of irrationality. Why so many people spend so much time and resources on $name diets, questionable research, news about how 'xyz' is good for you while 'abc' is bad, exerc

I am really surprised this is actually being debated on this forum, so I am glad that I am able to help. (edit: referring to a sibling comment) Most psychoactive substances may potentiate and escalate some condition, the simplest example wo

I like how LSD was discovered [0]. It's so potent that it can be absorbed just by skin contact, that's why police must use gloves when seizing it. Imagine yourself coming home with your bicycle and having a massive (250 ug) LSD tr

You should give Fallout 1 and 2 (preferably 2) a try, specially if you enjoyed NV, which involved many of the original producers. The carefully crafted dialogue and storyline is what sets it apart. If you require a 'modern' game I

Fallout 2 was the source of many joys and frustrations, I even did some work on the pt-BR translation. It was very upsetting that Van Buren [0] was not actually the expected Fallout 3, I very much prefer the pure isometric turn-based syste
