i actually have some first-hand thoughts on this. i'm in a bit of a bubble as many of my friends are engaged and some are already married (i am a young guy close to graduating college). i have a ton of scattered thoughts on this but th

we had a guy at our studio seriously into this. you have to train a lot: hit bags of rice, then beans, then sand, then steel shot. eventually yes it tends to cripple your hands though that can be somewhat mitigated by rigorous mobility exer

it's not a collective per se but employees are certainly well paid. because they are highly skilled, are not easily replaced, and could take secrets elsewhere. commodities trading houses tend to follow this model too though that is cha

why do you believe that knowing who owns it is good for the public in all cases? business owners are also a part of the public, you know, while megacorps like google aren’t so much

respectfully, fuck that. it's not an "option" to verify with private companies because those companies make basically the sole decision about how ID and auth are set up. by making it easy, making it like a "sign in with

sure, that's one alternative opinion. i am one of the biggest fda-haters you'll find but, in a vacuum, this call isn't really wrong. it can theoretically be used medically - but i'd be hard-pressed to think of why a doct

this isn't how things are defined, though. these days, heroin is not necessarily the best opiate against opioids. we have more selective drugs that are better at targeting analgesia over euphoria. fentanyl and more euphoric options are

"burn" is commonly applied to a range of conditions. "apartheid" is applied with exceptional rarity, and in common parlance, people associate it with the south african regime. in your analogy, this is equivalent to calli

apartheid is a loaded term of opinion, not of fact. comparing israel to other true apartheid regimes, such as south africa, is hyperbolic. there exist discriminatory policies that ought to be reformed but i do not believe that word is appro
