Isn't it a positive thing if even outsiders find value in the material?🤔

Well, not really, because we don't fully download it I don't think. Or at the very least, they can update the material. Although this seems like a possible convenience for textbooks or something, on another angle, it's very sus. SOOOO much potential for manipulation.

Kindle is weird, we buy licenses to the material rather than owning the actual book. That seems sus. I don't like it. I don't like the way books I have paid for already can disappear.

I love key lime pie.🥧🍋😋 (there was no symbol for lime) Lemon milk pies are nice too. I'm not as into the lemon meringues, though my husband loves them. Now if it had been a recipe for sour orange pie, I could have told another story about the friend I mentioned, the same one who is allergic to...

I was born at a teaching hospital. My dad was a student at the university (undergraduate-I think) and my mom said she could go for free.

A short story about interspecies connection. In case it doesn't play on our site, (it looks like it doesn't want to, but the video is available - I put two links, same video one seems to work one is less sure) it is at this channel AJanimalking Ajanimalking - AJ Animal King on YouTube title...

I thought the phrase sounded condescending too, if stated directly at someone, but when I read it I thought he was just quoting something. So I didn't address his remark, but that was probably an oversight on my part.

Do you agree with the things you have written that you do not remember?

It looked like you were asking iBrian directly in post #609

Crime, no. Though some societies may have treated blasphemy as a crime, that is absurd. The ghastly punishments of some societies - so much more evil than the so called "crime" "blasphemy" is not a crime to anyone rational. One would have to define blasphemy though - do we all have the same...

I hadn't thought of that. To me it brings reminders of those who try to put shame on welfare, food stamps, public assistance🤨😖😞

Yes, I'd love to discuss it more, but I don't really understand the context or what ethic or action they are trying to promote - other than the general advice "work for things" which is advice you can get anywhere. It reminds me unpleasantly of people who try to shame public assistance. 😒 I'd...

Neat. Do you have any links to some images we can admire? Or articles about the art tradition?

After not having health insurance most of my adult life, in recent years I have had good insurance because my husband works for the state. (previously I had insurance on an on and off basis depending on various factors) It used to be (during my adult life) if I got sick I went to an urgent...

Yikes! This is terrible. I am so truly sorry about this outcome - was this from a COVID vaccine or something else? (if you are comfortable sharing of course)

If I understand correctly, vaccines work best over a large population - if one person gets vaccinated and nobody else does, the person who is vaccinated is not terribly well protected. They --vaccines -- aren't 100% effective per individual, they cut down the likelihood of infection enough so...

It is still used in the US as well, it made a resurgence, notably for conditions that are resistant to other treatments. https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/electroconvulsive-therapy https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5375110/
