Derec isn't the only one; there are many guys for whom prostitution is the only opportunity for sex, and therefore the opportunity, and the people they meet while pursuing it, are extremely important to them.

Watching Law and Order. I'd rate it a 6.5/10. I'm actually quite used to waking up at 6 AM to watch reruns of Charmed which I have seen a dozen or more times before. (Actually, it's common that I sleep in much longer than that; but being awake at 6 is also quite common and possibly the...

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of. I was getting my information from someone who was getting such injections, and she didn't know enough about it to answer that question when I asked her.

There are injections used to treat arthritis. Don't they work by stimulating the growth of cartilage. Or is it something else?

Some people learn from their experiences of success. Some people learn from their experiences of failure. Some people form opinions just by trying to form an accurate model out of what they hear from other people. I wouldn't say any of those people are incapable of forming an opinion worth...

If someone followed the ideal "Insult people if and only if it does some good," then insults would be much rarer than they are. On the other hand, if the fact that the insulter likes insulting people counts as "doing some good," then probably it would allow the vast majority of the insults...

Actually, this makes plenty of sense. As long as the woman is "all but a stranger," and therefore we're ruling out a male and female friend who begin dating. (And I don't know that much about mainstream dating, but my impression is that the "man pays" arrangement is also common, even if not...

So do you think it doesn't work? Do you think that men who pay for their date's expenses don't have a greater chance of getting laid than those who pay for only themselves? I mean, I have so little experience with mainstream dating that I couldn't say. For me, the hotter question is "If your...

But do you think that it should be morally frowned upon, in the same way as sexual assault? Your characterization of red pillers leads to the old (and politically incorrect) argument that there are men who consider rape and prostitution to be substitute goods (as an economist would put it), and...

As a Floridian, I like this grid plan because Florida gets to keep almost all of its integrity. We'd take on a little of Georgia, but very little. We'd lose some of the Panhandle region, but that's no great loss. Actually, looking at the map (I can't tell for sure), it looks a lot like...

Danger

That's just it. The electoral college turned into what it is because the media disseminates so much information about the candidates, which people care about far more than they care about the electors. Why wouldn't the same evolution happen with lots of the appointed offices as well, under...

(Conversely, "I don't want to" and "I'm scared of being a parent" probably impress them as being far better reasons than "I wanted a boy and I'm carrying a girl.") However, the motives behind a sex-selective abortion are supported by whole cultures, by most of the non-Western cultures of the...

Would it be better, or worse, if a business had to be eighteen years old in order to have the vote? Probably worse; that would only favor the established businesses and harm the struggling new small businessmen. Which is how it is with most plutocratic laws, of course. On the other hand, if...
