    Isn’t it insane that 4 people downvoted my comment saying that if you’re making more money from debt than it costs to have the debt, it’s good debt? Do these people not understand how money works?

    We should all have the same rights, absolutely. That’s not what is being demanded.

    I don’t watch the things he’s in, so yeah, I know that. I’m answering the question that OP asked. You know, the whole point of this thread. It’s strange how he only needs physical touch from attractive women co-stars, never the unattractive women or the men - that’s why it comes across as very creepy/predatory. You’re acting like there are no predatory people in the world using excuses like anxiety to abuse people.

    Apparently grouped...no, they are one in the same. what notmal group drives massive trucks and ships in rednecks to take over a city and harass them.. Hate to break it to you, nothing about politics is ”normal”. The same argument can be made against the liberal government, they’re controlling people’s speech and when people don’t agree they get nothing but hate spouted at them. what group only spouts shit about how much Canada sucks If you can site sources that would be great, not once have I heard any of Canada's political parties say they hate Canada. and uses nonstop slogans to 'win votes'... You’re kidding right? Every politician does this, it doesn’t matter if it’s left or right they all do it. there's many MANY reasons why they are all one in the same but your head is so far up the ass of propaganda that you can't even think straight. you're a useless moderator who I bet bans people when you disagree who have never even once posted in your little gun club. you're useless Not once have I insulted you, nor disrespected you so I don’t understand why all the anger. My hobby is directly affected by the current government’s political standings and I’m doing my part to educate folks who not once seen, heard or held a firearm in this country. If you want to talk about brainwashing take a close look at PolySeSouvient claiming law abiding firearms owners are the reason for the uptick in firearm related crime, not criminals, people who apply to the RCMP and get approved for firearms licenses are apparently the problem. If you haven’t noticed by now, Trudeau has banned a lot of firearms but yet firearm related crime is still rising, coincidence?

    Yes, and there's also bog or ice mummies that are preserved totally different ways. The Egyptian ones that are filled with preservatives and dehydrated probably do just need air that's super dry.

    Becoming a father at 28, after realising that is what I want from life; going deeper into the realm of love, wanting to live out the unconditional, unfaltering love for my own offspring. Finding the perfect person to go down that rabbit hole with, getting married, and less than a year later we have our first child. It was all so easy and natural, made manifest by two people sharing this simple dream. A solid foundation was cast, I got to see firsthand that I can do this just as good as I hoped. Something also happened before in my mid-20s. I was on a bit of a blue streak. Ended up taking an introductory course to zen sitting meditation. Two sessions was enough. Realised there's a photocopier in my head that spews out thoughts, some of them ugly. I couldn't turn it off, but I could refrain from reading the papers. Found inner peace right there and it has stuck.

    Not a truck driver, but an American who has seen this question answered, and it applies to lorries, too (we call them box trucks, like moving trucks, here — I don't know if you call a full tractor-trailer a lorry). It's absolutely to reduce drag, and when they travel in a convoy, they typically do it with all members knowing full well what they're doing, and they take turns leading (as that one gets the wind resistance the others avoid). So yes, they're saving money on petrol (gas), they're saving the environment, they're saving time... it's just annoying if you want to get over past them. They should let you through but it's annoying you have to ask (with your signal). Typically our big trucks tend to do their thing and stay out of peoples' way, but sometimes they wanna act like they own the road (and they're unfairly maligned in thriller films).

    Interesting point! I've often wondered how much chemistry/our endocrine system effects our personality. Especially by the time we hit puberty again, I assume we'd be acting like a horny teenager again regardless of our past lives. That said it's worth mentioning that the title of the post directly states that we would have our current mind intact. So for the purposes of this thought experiment I'm going to assume all of our memories and thoughts would be completely intact, only our body chemistry will likely shift some of our drives and impulses.
