@Cutiebeauty the odds can be calculated using surface area ratios, friction, velocity, and momentum. Although there have been studies where they do coin flip after coin flip, and i dont think it ever hits a true 50/50. But i also dont think there were many edge landings, either.

The more we know the extent, and who's doing what to whom, the better chance we have of understanding and solving (or maybe just mitigating it a s much as possible) complex socio-economic issues surrounding sex work.

@WayneDalton my mistake about the bragging, but I'm very serious here. You mentioned 3 things that not everyone in this country enjoys as needing preserving when what they need is further expansion. I'm pissed about the direction this country appears to be going and it shows. Feel free to block me if you don't like my tone or style.

@Burner this "free will" concept for women has gone way to far, as you so eloquently point out. That's why I'm a rabid anti feminist - every right a woman has removes a right men have, and that's just wrong.

@St-Sinner but you aren't helping, you're telling her what to do with her hair based on what you think is the majority's whims.

@resserts so says someone who thinks it interesting. ;) While true that philosophy does shape most human interactions, it is far too easy to assign more importance to it than it deserves. Philosophy shapes aspects of life, but life also shapes aspects of philosophy. Philosophy in and of itself solves nothing and answeres nothing. But anyways, glad you enjoy it and good luck in your pursuit of stoicism (theres something I never thought I'd wish anyone).

rogueflyer comments on Jun 30, 2019:

Biden is possibly the front runner even with all his flaws because he is a moderate. Dems need the Independent voter to win the general election. If Warren or Sanders is the Dem candidate we may end up with another four years of trumps corruption.

1of5 replies on Jun 30, 2019:

@rogueflyer I don't necessarily think Warren or Sanders guarantees another term for Cheeto head, just makes it easier for him. Remember, he's further to the right than most dem candidates are to the left, with a very recent history of showing just how fucked up that ideology actually is in practice. So even a far left candidate has a shot if they appear sane and have good debate showings against him (I think either Warren or Harris could get Trump to walk off stage mid debate just by refusing to be bullied by him, and they'd win just because of that). Biden would be the moderate Republican / conservative Democrat the electorate seems to love, even if no one particular group actually loves them. Frustrating, really. The thing I worry about with a far left candidate is getting anything even slightly meaningful through Congress. That's the main reason I didn't want Bernie in '16, he would have had major obstacles to any of his policies and would have a very meager list of accomplishments to his name, making him weak for re-election. Still would have been better than what we got, but currently I think it's easier to retake the white house in '20 than it would be to defend it with a low output pres (see Carter, Jimmy). Anyways, we shall see.
