It doesn't, of course. But the universe is described as being intentionally created explicitly for Earth and Man, so it wouldn't be hard to go on to think we may be at the center. The long history of geocentricity would suppor

Literalism has nothing to do with it. Over half the world identify as believers in Moses's God. Less than a sixth believe in Stochastic Gas. Under the Gas model, it would perhaps be strange for us to be at center. Under the God model i

All defaults are opinionated defaults. The fact that you consider a particular default "bad" supports that claim more than anything. To your point, setting the default to be unencrypted reflects the opinion "this layer of the

What makes you think these rhetorical sex workers have learned anything at all from this piece? A belief you know more than them about what's best for them?

Salt overexposure is liable to dry up your skin and cause rashes/cracking leading to vectors for infection.
