Hey, I'm sorry, this sounds really tough and those words probably don't do it justice. Prayer, which is distinctly different from meditation has been helpful to me. I'm not an expert on any matters pertinent to mental health

I don't think this deserved to be down voted. While I can appreciate the idea that innovation drives advancement...I have the same honest question. Asked another way: are there any current fringe use cases for residential users to ma

Serious question about torrents: How is this not stealing? I'm not trying to be judgemental. I certainly don't have any room to do so as I used Napster and the likes back in the day. Now with the advent of Amazon Prime, Hulu, Net
