Even a broken clock is right twice a day Greg. Having dealt with the people dealing with these injuries I hope it gets a high enough profile that they can get adequate medical treatment and pensions.

I was an army medic. I've seen a number of soldiers and contractors with symptoms of being hit with unconventional Russian weapons. It seems to cook neurons. The more dense the neurons the more severe the damage. So auditory hallucinations are common when your brain is cooking. The long term prognos...

Don't Americans demand people get licenses, pass a driving test, take medical exams and carry liability insurance for owning a motor vehicle? Why not firearms?

America is weird. You think being forced to pee in a cup by an employer while they watch is ok but if someone wants to interfere with your ability to shoot paper targets on your day off to prevent school children from being mass murdered they are infringing on your rights. A US tech company asked if...

Thanks Greg.

I've gotten very dependent on the Google one.

Anyone know if the one for this year is ready yet?

There is also the possibility that this is a ruse. I read the letters Fidel would send US presidents years ago. I'll paraphrase, "Hey Ron, Good luck in the coming election primaries. I will not take any sabre rattling against Cuba seriously. I hope we can talk again soon." I did not have access to t...

P.S. TERFs Suck!

Indeed. I would highly recommend procuring some and trying out your lovers hormone profile. A caution though. Testosterone is somewhat addictive and perhaps the best cure for PMS. You may not wish to go back. Since starting testosterone (I'm FTM) 2 1/2 years ago, the only thing I can say I dislike ...

When I just got out of the army I went through some rough parts of Asia. In one there was this "haunted' coral reef that was supposedly the domain of a wrathful mermaid. I decided to explore. It was like reefs 50 years ago. There were huge fans of fire coral and even a school of puffer fish. While I...

Let's not forget about hormones....estrogen & testosterone.... :stirthepot: Indeed, let's not. Om mani padme hum Kathy Amen, sistahs. :thumbsup: Indeed. I would highly recommend procuring some and trying out your lovers hormone profile. A caution though. Testosterone is somewhat addictive and perha...

I am always in awe of how strong people's opinion are on the sexuality of people they will never have sex with. Particularly of people they don't even fancy. Spending so much time on stuff that is none of your business. If doing X makes you happy I don't have a strong opinion unless you hurt someone...

Depends what country you are in. If you have been to a number you no longer have a concrete answer. Too much power over women makes men sick. It reveals all their defilements.

In Kalacakra tantra, mleccas refers to muslims. Yes. What is not clear to me is if the term mleccha refers to Muslims only, or also to others. Generally, it refers to anyone speaking an unclear (to subcontinental Indians) language. In the context of the Kālacakra, muslims. It seems the most dangero...

I don't think Adam Smith is being characterized fairly. He thought landlords would not have the heart to exploit peasants excessively. He considered his magnum opus to be The Theory of Moral Sentiments not the Wealth of Nations. His capitalism was subservient to a moral framework. I think a return t...

In this country, 13 year olds can be tried as adults if the crime is sufficiently grave. Nope, illegal under the Geneva Convention to charge child soldiers. When I was still involved with the army the thing in Syria was meant to be a honey pot so we could get all our radicals out of the country so ...

Isn't it a form of parasitism? Defending the morality of making money while you sleep while others toil and sweat for a fraction of what you make takes some very intense mental gymnastics.
