Something I've been hearing a lot of lately (actually, for the past two decades) is that smoking ordinary cigarette is a poor life choice. Sure, the body of evidence about the drug's physiological effects is conclusive, but there's more to a life choice than "is it healthy for my body".
It would be great if we could finally throw the idea of psychiatry out the window, but it's never going to happen as long as charities like this one keep popping up everywhere.
Parents are human; they've got to be good at something.
I really want to restart Spirit Tracks; that was one of the most original Zelda games I've played in a while. Minecraft, Dragon Quest IX, and Picross 3D have been my most recent sources of crack.

I've never been a big user of Skype. I downloaded it a few years ago so I could have a quick conversation or two with somebody I'd never met. I decided it wasn't really for me, so I stopped using it and forgot about it, and have never had any reason to install it on this PC. Still, I have to admit that I find Microsoft's $8.5 billion purchase intriguing.
"Imagine a world where people don't have to pay hundreds of dollars to do simple tasks," Gates wrote. "The very idea makes me shudder."
These are the five simple steps to follow if you want to make a grilled cheese in the microwave.
The United States claims to be a democracy.
I remember a time, way, way back, when we weren't afraid. A time when everyone was safe, was happy. When I look outside today, all I can think about is how far we've fallen as a society.
