Why do you say it's commodified though ? We have a lot of fun, we cannot get away from each other a minute and we deeply connect. We re never bored, we never fight long. I've had sex with her every day for 8 months, yes, but does

Why ? I see an unhealthy obsession online with people "trying to see" if others are suggesting children should be molested. Doesnt matter what he thinks: what he said makes sense, teenagers, especially above 16, start maturing in

The two I know the most, muslims and indians, seem not to follow "fasting type diet". Instead, they eat an enormous amount of fat, grow curry bellies, and look just as unhealthy as the scummiest american atheist... However, where

But my eyes see something different. Let's take a very good game in 2014, Dragon Age: Inquisition, and a good game this year, say Cyberpunk 2077. There is a progress between the two that sort of compensate for maybe single-thread bench

What are you trying to make him say? First, sex is not the only thing kids do earlier than 18: kissing and fondling, we did at various ages and it's I think normal and quite harmless. It s not like teenagers will wait for their 18th bi

Completely wrong. What you see is a product of what you need to see, adapted by evolution over millions of years, so that you can survive on Earth a bit longer than 5 minutes. We're talking of seeing a barren planet millions of kms awa
