| Dude, you really have a lot of ideas. Have you ever thought about writing a paper? About what you think are good qualities and systems of justice, and the logic behind them.I'm really a little interested. The best argument for equity is the illustration of a grown person and two children watching s... |

| Unfortunately I don't own a PC and I have to do everything online through my smartphone. Plus I'm kind of a stick-in-the-mud when it comes to game consoles... I think I'll consider the Sega Genesis mini because it has the most variety of games I want to play. :) I think it's possible to use USBtoGo... |

| Do you need exercise to lose weight? No, the whole point to the exercise bit of diet and exercise is to maintain muscle tone. The amount of energy that you typically burn is minimal, and the same as if you just spent an hour in a hot bath as most of the energy burned during exercise is the result o... |

| It depends what you mean by "digestion" problems. Are you going too much, not enough, or having pain? Nausea? Different problems have different needs. If you're referring to going too often, they usually recommend the BRAT diet short term. That's bananas, rice, applesauce and toast. When ... |

| A draft wouldn't help unemployment much anyway. Males ages 18-35, with no disability, health issues, a clean criminal record, limited tattoos, and are physically fit would be a very small pool to select from. Even and otherwise eligible person with none of the above issues, like ASD or ADHD has to ... |

| No. Nothing against autistics of course but they'd be pedantic, get hung up on tiny details, miss the big picture, have meltdowns, and disagree on everything because there'd be no hive mentality. They'd want everything a little too individuated which would cost a fortune in taxes. It's hard enough ... |

| That's true. The old light guns worked by reading the scan lines as they refreshed on a CRT screen. LCD and LED flat screen TVs don't work this way so the light gun doesn't register anything. It's sad, I liked light gun games. The last one I'm aware of that worked was Link's Crossbow Training on th... |

| It may help to talk to a therapist with expertise in gender issues. A full transition is a long involved process often taking many years. Voice surgery only helps a little. You also need to train your voice. Female mannerisms also take some time to learn. If you are fortunate enough to be a white m... |
