get a safe for cash, jewellery ... for other stuff like expensive cameras, ipads, laptop ... you can put them in some sort of locker / metal cabinet that locks.

yes, i think your post is pretty accurate

awesome!

i wouldn't use that acronym given it's the same as a political figure's name

Gene Simmons (of KISS) explains why he never drinks or gets high. He likes being sane and being in control. His idea of a party is chasing skirt. Drugs and alcohol are just numbing.

yeah, that's smart. i'd like to aquire more female platonic friends in my life. a good friendship often lasts forever. relationships 50/50.

obsession with money everywhere in the world is degrading our lives.

he was wearing a greek dessert?

unintended consequence. self-defense?

gold chain weighed him down

sexiest woman alive ever! science ... detective ...

in some ways, but not all

according to this, buddhism is not anti-gay. https://buddhaweekly.com/tibetan-buddhist-views-lgbtq-buddhism-accepting-neutral-supportive-alienating-lesbians-gay-men-trans-gendered-persons-sex-marriage/ The main reference in Sutra to sex is “sexual misconduct” which has nothing to do with sexual preference — only the way we treat our partner.

I've read articles about male masseurs massaging women getting arrested back home. If the women agree to be massaged, not sure what the problem is. But seems like a risky thing to do in western countries.

splashing water.. ha ha

Yeah, thats my theory too. And the folks marketing this to teens are preying on this vulnerable period in their lives where they are going through an identity crisis. And ch-ching ch-ching ... the surgeons are raking it in. I'll try to find some articles to support this.

Breast implants ... well mutilation implies complete removal. But ok, maybe mutilation is over the top. I'm not a huge fan of breast implants either, by the way.

No, but my psychological assumptions are based on the psychology of that article I read. Or my interpretation of it. Maybe it doesn't apply to all trans people. Maybe different trans people have different reasons.

I'll try to find the article. I don't remember the name of the magazine.

Yes but in their minds, this identity is too common / normal. They are seeking an identity that separates them from the average person. They want to be unique. Like for instance, most people want to be famous ... because it separates you from the average person.

Good post. I agree. I have nothing against gay people, but mutilating your body is a different matter. It's much more complex than sexual preferences.

I once read a magazine for teens and they were trying to convince the teens that a sex change will give them an identity. Teens are being manipulated, in my opinion. Also, surgeons are making a ton of money on these surgeries. So yeah, I basically agree with you.

yeah, the Bible and fiction ... although there are several reasons I am not a fan of the Bible ... the Bible is largely mythology. and modern society dismisses mythology as nonsense. but actually, mythology is essential in order to understand the universe.

aren't giant fonts against forum rules?

i just watched another video on youtube about mexican cartels. they actually have folk songs about cartels where the cartels are hailed as heroes for going against the govt. i don't know all the politics in mexico, but that sounds messed up when people think cartels are the good guys. some people here complain that immigration doesn't smile at you and also the corruption in thailand. but corruption in mexico seems far worse, the smiles at immigration notwithstanding. personally, i don't think i will set foot in a country that can't sort out its cartel issues.
