Don't worry, the button is hypothetical and even if I was a neuroscientist, I'd never really hook anyone up to this unless it was part of some end of ...
I don't believe human life needs pain at all. It's not really in any of our control and not a single one of us is responsible for designing this diabo...
Yes, we are able to overcome both kinds. Doesn't mean I'm going to start taking heroin anytime soon or take up an unhealthy masturbation habit, just b...
Not really, I meant "no catch" as in I won't do anything to harm you if you agree, make you sign all your wealth and property over to me or I won't ju...
What does equilibrium mean to you? I'm not disagreeing. I do see what you are saying, I don't necessarily want pleasure when I feel pain, I just want ...
Is it stupid to admire a fictional character? I admire loads! Even if I don't always admire the writer of that character *Cough*JKRowling*Cough*. What...
Antifa isn't a group as far as I'm aware but an ideology. You're already Antifa bro! There are organised Antifa movements all over the world but there...
By the way, I think it probably best that you know that I do in fact have a child with another one due in February. Just so you are informed as to whe...
Also I've been drinking, so there is that. Not trolling though or at least it isn't my intent but I'm sorry if you feel like it is. At the heart of th...
I'm not trolling you. This is a sincere question. I'm just trying to provide some light humour so we all know that we are friends in this discussion a...
What about your goals and ambitions in life? You'd likely forget about those in favour of the button. Would you really want to lose everything that ma...
As an aside for everyone; it would probably be best to take this offer with the caretaker option. When the rats had control of the button, they forgot...
It really is an easy trap. My prey has yet to take the bait though. I personally see the human experience as so much more meaningful than seeking plea...
Supreme Court Update: The six Republican Senators who will have the biggest parts to play are as follows, Collins of Maine, Murkowski of Alaska, Romne...
If it gets you talking and taking me seriously, then I'll say it. It was a sincerely held concern and I would have done it whether you had been here f...
Firstly, I'd like to point out that if your OP was a thesis which you were publicly defending, you'd be expected to be able to provide arguments that ...

"Think of the children, won't someone please think of the children?!" Sorry. Someone had to say it. Seriously though, it's not worth getting my ass be...
You're probably right. This is 'Moscow' Mitch we are talking about here, after all. I still hope it is done, so others are reminded of it. Not that it...
