For me: LSD is like the walls of reality melting before your own eyes. Mushrooms is like you mind melted with a wild animal. DMT is like your consciousness melts with your imagination.

Seems apt to me. Indentured servitude actually seemed reasonable to a lot of people looking to move, you got expensive passage on a ship in exchange for working for a set length of time. Facebook is a platform for social manipulation, in a

“The alternative to indentured servitude is free labor, which already exists. If people preferred free labor to indentured service, no one would sign a service contract, but they do.” -paraphrasing someone 300 years ago, probably. Sometimes

Doesn’t like /every/ good job require something along the lines of “Excellent Oral and Written communication”? Essays aren’t a proxy for anything, they are an end of itself. Just because this test essay can be written by an algori

I hate to say it, but I’ve been recently re-convinced that people like you and I live in a bubble. Most people are adamantly religious in the US if you start to dig down. I knew this when I was a reckless atheist teenager adamant about the

I’m fairly certain that it will hold more of screensavers (at 950MB each), and they are honestly my favorite part of the device. If you don’t have broadband the idea of a bigger cache of content seems worth a nominal fee.

How much is justice worth to you? I think it would be worth it for the police to have squads of people dedicated to this when we spend so much on things like EOD techs, armored cars and SWAT teams in America. Phone thievery should be a ris

uh, idk, try and look for it on Craigslist, eBay, and the local flee market? If they cared about justice this is something that they would do. I’ve seen cops laugh at property crime, even with specifics on who stole it and where they are.

Have you ever been a victim of property theft? The police caring is highly irregular. Feels like justice for the rich.

I do care about my friends though, which is why I’m trying to fight against the current and get them to also opt out of Facebook which I see as a toxic cancer upon society. I miss out on socializing by not smoking cigarettes too.

Really confused about b) as I see it, a nation must be its own steward and we must all be stewards of the world. My understanding is that China is environmentally devastated. If that’s true it is completely the fault of the Chinese, not th
