They eat a lot of hay to stay warm. The eating warms them. That's what my wife told me. I haven't confirmed with ChatGPT, but that's the best info I h...

Yeah, I did the best I could. It's not exactly easy to serve a possessed piece of pie.

True, but the counter to this is quidquid Latine dictum sit altum videtur.

So instead of relying upon a double blind study with multiple participants, you want me to just give it a try and see if it's true or not? Like I said...

So your position is that you don't know if rape is good or bad because you just don't know what good or bad means? Where you see the words "good" and ...

What an endearing post. You see a young woman who is entirely off limits, but who still captures your attention, and you want just to ask her an innoc...

I accept your apology.

There is no soul of America, but a few groups here and there that sort of share the same soul until they figure out how they're different and then the...
