| I just now noticed that, in some old posts containing "youtube" tags, the videos are no longer displayed. Has the ability to show videos been permanently disabled, or is this a temporary glitch? |

| The way I look at it the only reason I use social media is in order to look for a girlfriend. If a website kicks me off for breaking the rules by doing that then they served no purpose to me anyways. Some websites, such as Wrong Planet, don't have a rule against looking for a girlfriend per se , bu... |

| Hmmm, I now see another, different post of yours that contains what might be a ray of hope: That said I still know how to have fun. I still work harder than anyone else I have ever known at having fun. Fun is what I am all about. What kinds of fun? What kinds of activities do you like to do, and/or ... |

What book are you referring to? Perhaps this one, which you inconspicuously linked to way back here? |

| I have learned time and again that my values and way of thinking are very unique and isolating. This has been a real struggle in my life. Many avenues of life I used to think I would be able to participate in have been shut off to me. What are some of these many avenues of life that have been shut ... |

| Additionally, forced labor is allowed in the prison system, and we have, alas, the world's highest prison population. I don't see a single person in America complaining. There are plenty of people here in the U.S.A who complain about both our prison-system itself and our over-reliance on it. Some r... |

What if it's already too late and some of the damage is already irreversible? America's former allies are already planning around the US, the dam... |

| Hopefully people with that much money, who refrain from vacationing in Dubai on ethical grounds rather than economic necessity, will also donate some of their spare change (and/or some of their spare time) to groups that oppose similarly abusive labor practices in their own home countries. Yes, agr... |

| Likewise, it doesn't matter which knot has bound other self-identified conservatives to the MAGA movement, so long as they continue to support it they're part of the problem. Someday they might attempt to distance themselves from the movement out of guilt and shame but right now they're active cont... |
