“Hello I’m Laura and I collected this story myself when I was 12 years old. It says that some girls and boys were at the party and there was a graveyard down the road and they were talking how scary it was. And one of the boys said: “Don’t ever stand on the grave up that yard because the person inside will grab you, will pull you under and so on”. And then one of the girls said it was all just superstition and she will actually do it right now. So the boy handed her knife and said that she needs to stick it into the ground because that’s how they are going to know that she really went there. So she went there and picked out a grave and stood on it. Then quickly she bends over and puts the knife in the soil and started to leave but she couldn’t get away, couldn’t move, something was holding her back. So when she didn’t come back the others went to look for her and they found only her clothes being pinned to the ground with a knife.”

Yet another reason to be vegan.

This article together with this article:

It really means I have no choice but to be vegan.

“Google's core argument that its search engine wins default status due to its quality, not due to anticompetitive behaviors.”

Then why pay Apple 20 billion for default star?

“Given that one in four pregnancies end in miscarriage, and the vast majority of them are unexplained, this rise in investigations of and the treatment of unexplained miscarriage as suspicious is deeply concerning…”

About six weeks.

After my medications run out, then about one or two weeks and I die. Period.

Why stop population decline?

Let’s just take it easy.

Time to stop using Gmail and YouTube. I had already avoided go░gle search for months now.

Over the last three or four months I had deleted all my FaceBook, Twitter, Reddit, Instagram accounts. And this made me want to avoid go░gle search.

Too many assume humans are rational creatures, with free will.

We are not.

Humanity is a farce. We prance about, puffed up with nothing but pretense and delusions.

Who could mourn such pathetic creatures?

The world is a nightmare.
