I was reading somewhere that a difficult upbringing might be a contributing factor to schizophrenia (specifically regarding the child, rather than the mother😁). Experiencing trauma at such a tender age seems to leave a lasting impact on one's mental health throughout their entire life. I am curious to know what your own experiences have been with this topic.

Djolo is unattractive, yet strangely magnetic. Not me, though—let's be clear about that😬. Both my ex and my sister have said the same thing. He seems a bit thick-headed, too, which leads me to believe women probably lose their minds over him. Goran finally has an heir.

Since Sarah is my dream woman, if I'm not destined to be with her, at least let him step up. So, Djolo, go get 'em.👍

"God created man in His own image and likeness"

If we assume—and I mean strictly hypothesize—that truth and reality operate on a fractal scale, then a human being would essentially be truth, reality, and the entire universe contained in miniature.

Therefore, if one seeks ultimate truth, the path lies in getting to know oneself. Turning toward science, literature, or the outside world is far too often merely an escape from the self, and by extension, an escape from the truth. I must emphasize: far too often.

I find myself agreeing regarding Legend of Autumn, and specifically The Last Samurai
though I believe the primary fault lies with the screenwriters
this time around, the script holds up, allowing Zwick to truly deliver his best work
Blood Diamond is an excellent film, even if the action sequences feel somewhat unrealistic
but then again, that is just Hollywood for you😁

I happen to be one of those fortunate individuals who truly enjoys milk—both dairy and soy, whether it is fermented or sweetened.

I would kindly ask the health experts here to provide their perspective on the claim mentioned above.
Ever since reading that unfermented soy might be quite detrimental to one's health, I have refrained from drinking standard soy milk for months now, despite how much I genuinely enjoy it.

It is quite interesting how everyone seems to point toward certain lobbies that fund research, which inevitably transforms into nothing more than blatant propaganda.
We are essentially witnessing an all-out marketing war between these two industries.
In truth, it wouldn't be such a bad thing if prices actually dropped.
However, they maintain a tight duopoly, keeping costs artificially high.
It really is a disgrace that a single liter of soy chocolate milk costs so much.$5.00😠
And yet, it is so delicious.🙂
Not to mention those puddings.😍

I recall reading somewhere—perhaps even here on this forum—that soy milk is generally considered unhealthy due to certain toxic or carcinogenic components, suggesting that one should opt for fermented versions instead.

For the most part, I have grown to reach 6 feet in height, largely due to my habit of overindulging in yogurt and milk.
When one also takes into account that I possess the vitality and intellect of an ubermensch, we might reasonably conclude that it truly is a healthy food item.😁

I just finished installing LibreOffice (first time I've ever heard of it😬 )
and I have to say, I am quite impressed
it handles PDF conversions without any trouble at all
whereas getting that done in Microsoft Office was nothing but a total nightmare
everyone, thank you so much, truly🙏

Hello everyone

My 60-day trial for Microsoft Office has just expired
Is there any way to find a free version available for download? Even an older version would suffice, as I am quite hesitant to pay for this software right now
Until lately, I have managed to handle most tasks on my computer, but I am currently at a standstill
If a full Office suite isn't an option, then perhaps just Word would work

Thank you very much

I just finished watching it, and I have to say, it hasn’t been this long since I laughed quite that hard. That said, it feels like a missed opportunity because the film definitely had the potential to be even greater than it was.
There are some truly brilliant moments—the standout for me was definitely his first encounter with that blonde girl at the bookstore—but they are interspersed with scenes that feel completely pointless and unnecessary.
For instance, that thread waxing scene served no purpose and wasn't particularly funny.
The lead actor is fantastic, and while the supporting cast is decent, they were clearly held back by the limitations of the script.
It is a shame it didn't reach its full potential, but regardless, it is still well worth your time to watch.
After that first big comedic moment, I honestly could barely catch my breath for a while.😁

Now, this is quite the observation.
Personally, I consider that one of my favorite American music videos.
The highlight for me is when Ban, instead of drinking, lights up a joint. 🤣
And that nonchalant attitude of his... 😁
As for the song itself, it is actually quite decent.

For me, the worst video is by the Rolling Stones. I can't recall the title, but it’s an old one where they are drinking and then foam slowly rises up to swallow them all.
It is likely one of the cheapest and least creative music videos ever made.
