Mystery means something that is impossible or difficult to understand or explain, like pornographic websites. Why? Sex, to some, is a private matter, & now your face & body are, sometimes for free, all over the internet. When it comes to same sex behavior, unnatural & potentially horrible. When it comes to heterosex, where is the love?

Back in the day, 7/11 slurpees “slushies” had a toy on the bottom of the cup. That was a box to do when I was a kid.

What's ironic about America is that, despite what we purport to believe about freedom and individual rights and all that, this country has a rich history of special interest and religious groups trying to force their agenda down everyone else's throat.

What a braindead hot mess that was. A bunch of talking points straight from tech-bro investment scam presentation. "Wireless freakin' conductive railoads" presented by guy, who doesn't know how gears work(!). As usual, an inch deep, a mile wide stuff hosts don't know anything about.
