So the problem is institutional corruption. What's the proper response to that problem?

I don't have the maturity to face the parts of the world that don't reach out to me. Not yet. Maybe later. Until then they won't seem real to me because I will have neither experience nor understanding.

I've not been selected. :m068:

How do people cope with insincerity? Have you ever offended someone because you are under a pretense? Are you easily offended by same?

IQ is correlated with income, and higher income in turn with the ability to afford nutritious food. Cheap food is suspiciously lacking in nutrition per caloric value, at least in the US. Convergent reasoning ability—what IQ attempts to signify—may also be relevant to the tendency and ability to...

Some people seem to think that philosophies such as materialism and determinism are dogmatic belief systems, so to those the answer is yes, the beliefs I ascribe to claim to hold supreme truths.

Growing up as a wee nerd helps. :m058: If I wasn't already well familiar with the basics, I might suck at keeping up. Sometimes I need to tell myself "goddammit you know these things, toughen up" when I'm being nervous and skittish about adopting new devices or applications.

This is a fairly subjective topic of morality, but most western customs hold that you have post-mortem rights over your remains, even though what you may do with them is fairly restricted. I prefer it that way, seems more conducive to giving people assurances what with death being such an...

Anyone played it? I like it, even though sometimes the characters disturb me in a wide variety of ways. Or maybe exactly because they tend to do that...
