Man this OP took forever to read. :)

A man who appears vulnerable and is drunk out of his mind may be robbed and killed at a much greater chance. While I wouldn't say he had it coming to ...

Takes two to tango, honestly. Who's really being objectified am I right.

What about the world would you change?
June 14, 2020 at 19:16
Do what feels right. Eventually, after enough mistakes, you start to learn a little something every now and then. Usually. Only way some folks will ev...

All I know is a $50 steak tastes $45 better than a $5 one.

I think we all know there's a difference between people who live on social media 24/7 and those who prefer to talk to others in person or read a newsp...

It was a common practice. A sign of status. It'd be like having acres of land today. Many were inherited and naturally a responsibility. Of course you...

I don't think you or I can ever name a period in history where society wasn't rapidly changing. Social media has redefined any definition of media. We...

Probably. But to air on the side of safety. For many folk when it comes to things that don't immediately and blatantly affect them, "things don't matt...

I'm sorry is there a philosophical question or debate to be had (using philosophy and not mindless political opinion) or is this just what the site is...

Can we? As in is it possible? Sure. But think for a minute. What if Brad Pitt walked into a Wal-Mart. Or a McDonalds? How do you think that would turn...

Oh. I'm sorry I wasn't aware in the few days I've been away someone ended child hunger and slavery. *clears throat extremely loudly* Look I don't know...

This is setting yourself up for failure. Life is ups and downs. Sometimes more of the latter. That's why it's life. Humans are not little Tamigachi pe...

I wouldn't say either of you are, that is to say not earnestly arguing opposing viewpoints with relevant information to consider. However as it stands...

While I agree with a fair amount of what you posted, I think. It'd be a bit like coming to the conclusion that you can't judge a book by its cover... ...

I was suggesting, to some, yes it is the only thing. It completely misses the point. And that was mine. Exactly. No one is protesting about that. Why ...

I think the real question is, appropriately, what are non-Americans who are so quick to shame other nations doing for the "George Floyd's" at home or ...

Reminded of a very good movie. Should check it out. Interestingly enough it's called "Re-Cycle". :) Bit of horror but very well done where it's not ev...

Why wouldn't they? They don't know the predictor is infallible nor do they know what may or may not be in Box B. I was thinking it'd be funny if Box B...

So what does that mean. When a black man is killed by police the entire planet reacts and is thrown into chaos. Literal worldwide riots and chaos. Mea...

Not hard to imagine really. Go camping for a week or at least a few days with no technology. Even better, no food or water. Just a knife, basic tools,...

I wouldn't call it introspection as none of it involves anything internal aside from programmed algorithms. That said, they already do. Nothing emotio...
