Absolutely. Although current science can not cover it yet, enough empirical proof exists now.

No, it does work. How do I know? I've been doing it for a couple of weeks now and my weight has been fully stable. I live a normal life, two gym sessions a week. All without food.

For those looking for the ultimate life & health hack, read all you can on Pranism (also known as Breatharianism), the method that lets you live healthily without eating (although it's better to keep drinking at least water). http

I agree that $10/session does sound better. That's what you pay (at most) for LSD, the traditional longer-term anti-depressive and anti-anxiety effect being there as well (3-6 months). But: You have to buy a test kit (an additiona

What we have learned thanks to Snowden is this: You can never trust your government. Mass surveillance was conducted illegally before and continues to this day. Does anyone really think some "law" will change this?

Anything using virtualization is still less secure than dedicated machines. If you want security, use dedicated servers.

Correct, it is not scientific. And that is because science currently is too restricted to be able to cover this area. Therefore, this area can currently only be explored in an empirical manner. I know it's frustrating to learn, but sci

I know it takes 100°C for water to boil, but how much does the US need? Keep in mind, Trump is not the source of the problem, he is one of the (reinforcing) symptoms of a host of underlying systemic societal issues.

Trump is the symptom, the signal. He's not the cause. The cause is a system that's dysfunctional on multiple levels. The US' issues are systemic and some have now become part of US culture and are deeply anchored as such. I d
