I'll go back through, and watch that video that you linked, which I haven't done. Try to find what I'm missing. A third party intervention is always w...

September 11, 2017 at 02:33
I don't understand. Are you attempting to reject, or downplay the notion that parents are authority figures? That adults in general are to a less exte...

Well, I think that this mutual co-creation is clearly the case with peers. The question for me is if such a relationships between, like patient and th...

Yeah, happiness is just linked to extroversion, but it isn't the most important thing. As if the meaning of life is to just feel good all the time. I ...

Ignorance is bliss, but knowledge is power. Which would you prefer? Though, the expression comes from a poem, in which it is qualified. That when igno...

... sure... Gabriel was still sometimes depicted as female. I never made any wild claims beyond that. That level of conversation is below me.
September 05, 2017 at 18:35
I don't know what you mean by that.

They might not have a sex, but they clearly have a gender.

That people disown, or have nothing to do with members of their families is like terrible, because families are all love or something. That suggestion...

I'm not big on moderation, but I do really like getting full access to the behind the scenes talk. I'm nosy like that.

I'm actually currently a mod on a forum I barely visit!
