Definitions. Please teach us how to build good definitions.
I miss your content brother
What have you been doing and will you start making videos again. Do Spotify podcasts like then old days on youtube
Will you shave your head for 4b movement ?
What do you think is the value of a college degree anymore?
If you feel like every thought you have is outside of society's Overton window should you consider moving?
How do you define the ‘meaning of life’?
Hi Stef, hope you're doing great. I used to watch your podcasts when you were on YT.
Won’t you take me to funky town?
Seriously, I don't think the brainwashed radical leftists are going to stop. What are your thoughts?
Are politicians subject to contract law? (Why don’t they simply put their campaign promises in writing?)
