Doesn't surprise me at all. I am sure it has been analyzed to death, but I always assumed it was due to most people getting their dopamine hits from the "inner world" of the internet instead of the "outer world" we all live in. I spent years playing video games and masterbating to pornhub videos. It's not that I didn't want to find a girlfriend. I just never left the house or had the drive to do so until I stopped focusing so much on the inner world.
No one should be above the law. Especially public officials such as the President. We should not set precedent to allow someone to get away with what he has done.
I would say the same about Clinton, Obama, or Biden, had they done the same. This is not about party politics or team sports.
Having smoked cannabis for over two decades, I can certainly tell you there were times where I smoked a lot tougher then I do these days.
Back when I was at my peak usage, I tried to quit by going cold turkey. I went through periods where I would wake up in cold sweats. While I didn't have gnawing urges like an alcoholic, I definitely had some physical withdrawal symptoms that weren't super pleasant.
I liked each series in a different way. Universe felt to me like the first few episodes of Atlantis but an ongoing damage control situation. SG1 is definitely the best out of the three.
You're latching on to what China did as an example and it forms the majority of your argument. I dont see anyone here suggesting we adopt a one child policy like they did, only reduce the amount of children being born.
Yes one could arguably bike everywhere and it would reduce your stress on the environment than if you drove everywhere. One could also argue having fewer people also reduces stress on the environment as well. Both will do the same thing, one to a greater degree.
It honestly sounds like you have children and are trying to justify your behavior despite knowing the negative impacts.
I don't understand why you have having such a hard time understanding that more mouths to feed, house, clothe, and provide energy for increases co2 emissions. No one is suggesting murdering children here. Having fewer children can be accomplished easily by using birth control such as condoms or the pill or any other method available.
It's using the Da Vinci surgical machine. I had a liver surgery years ago and they used it on me. Reduces scarring on your abdominal wall by allowing the surgeon to create smaller holes, use robotic arms and cameras to see inside, etc.
Still using Jerboa and still loving it
