I don't understand how this is a controversial opinion, but maybe parents should actually parent their children instead of expecting the Internet or the government to decide what their kids should see for them? Maybe talk to your kid about safe and ethical sex, the dangers of porn addiction, and not to take anything away from pornographic content instead? Maybe we shouldn't be giving children smartphones and tablets with unfettered internet access in the first place instead of spending time with them? Wild concepts I know.

Definitely this. When things break it makes me feel like I'm going to have a full blown panic attack, even though I'm now able to fix it. Same with wasting food. It makes me feel like I'm going to cry if I have to throw leftovers away. I'm also psychotic about saving money now. I spend money as if I was still living paycheck to paycheck even though I'm not and then save the rest of it.

I guess I don't see an ethical difference between fictional "step" incest and fictional normal incest. In both cases it involves people that don't exist. Plus all the ethical issues with incest carry over to step siblings anyway. The idea that one is ok and the other isn't seems really silly to me.

I work in plasma, and deferring donors is by far the most difficult part. I had to send three people home just today for having out of range hematocrit. The look of devastation on their faces when they find out they're not getting paid nearly brings me to tears every time. Sometimes they get angry and yell at me, and I just let them do it until they tire themselves out because I know how desperate they are. I'm just thankful that I'm primarily a lab tech and don't have to deal with the donor side every day; I don't think I could take it psychologically.

I had a chronic sinus infection for basically all of my life until about a year ago when I started taking Adderall. It was like a miracle drug for me. When I first started it I got a crazy amount of nasal drainage and a burning in my nose and throat, but after about a week it completely stopped and I haven't had an issue with my sinuses since. I'm still not used to breathing through my nose or actually being able to smell things.

TLDR amphetamines permanently cured my 15 year long sinus infection in a week.

Bangs almost always look great. They just need to match the rest of the hairstyle and be the right shape for your face.

There is nothing degrading about a woman being nude or semi-nude. If anything the fact that women are still forced to cover their chests when men aren't is degrading.

Mine is also only in low light conditions. I have visual snow, phosphenes, and a fuzzy blind spot when I'm in the dark.

I did a weird psychedelic research chemical and gave myself HPPD. Still have symptoms over 6 months later with no drug use. I'll probably suffer from visual disturbances for the rest of my life.

There is no utility in punishment. Wanting people who wronged you to suffer isn't a desire for justice, but a desire for revenge. Dangerous people can be stopped from hurting others without locking them in cages or treating them poorly.

I'm over three years and am just now seeing wispy baby hairs showing up in the corners of my hairline. I never really had a receding hairline though, just a more "masculine" shape with square corners. I solved the problem by just taking the plunge and getting bangs. Now I virtually never see or think about my hairline at all.

The State of the Art and Excession are the two I haven't gotten my hands on yet. I'm reading Matter right now and am consistently blown away by how forward thinking the author is. All of his work holds up so well.
