- Shoot dem coronaz!AQUTE
- Such a philanthropist lolAQUTE
- You do realize Bill hasn’t been an employee there for a long time right AQ? This is not related to his massive phalanthropic efforts over the years.monospaced
- However uncle Bill owns billions in Microsoft stock, he just left the board of directors last year and still does consultant work for Microsoftutopian
- Cool. But not relevant. Everyone who has stock profits. Including me. Has nothing to do with him or me. It’s just a contract. Derp.monospaced
- I like Bill Gates a lot and I believe that he done and continues to do a lot for humanity. Let's see if he sells off his Microsoft stock.utopian

- Either way, some folks day has been ruined - and it could so easily have been any of us. so it sucks.fruitsalad

- utop - precisely - but all innocent death is tragic isn't it.fadein11
- Well, no. Not 'precisely' at all. This is an aggression against an international democratic institution. Of course it's more newsworthy to Westerners.detritus

- More deeperly how exactly?detritus
- have you ever tought of having a picture of yourself badly injured or even dead everywhere on the web?Bennn
- @det - it's pretty obvious what he was saying - more value is given to western lives who are victims of the blowback from god awful western foreign policy, thanfadein11
- the original victims. What don't you understand? This is basic stuff. In regard to the headlines in papers yes of course they will report western victims. Sorryfadein11
- struggling to see why you don't get the point being made.fadein11
- And as I said in my original comment - all loss of innocent life is tragic so perhaps not the time to be making that point.fadein11
- but it's a superfluous point?
obviously i see the ephemeral, facile consideration being made, but you think that has any bearing?detritus - You think abu fuckcuntington there had any personal basis to attribute his actions to bunches of nomads being incidentally obliterated?detritus
- ie. do you justify whatever point this shallow cunt of a human being might begin to profess to have? idiotic, poisoned and misguided as it is?detritus
- oh man you've lost me now... he was making a point about the shit media. We all feel the tragedy. Stop looking for a pointless argument pal.fadein11

Though a consolation golf clap for meaning well.SteveJobs - but not all women wear skirts. The previous 'stickmen' looked gender neutral to me, it's simply a very condensed and simplified illustration of a person.fruitsalad

Prince Harry Says Psychedelics Are a “Fundamental Part” of His Life
The royal explained that he “started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me.”rince Harry credits the recreational use of psychedelics with giving him a radically different perspective on life.
On Saturday, the Duke of Sussex sat down for a conversation with Dr. Gabor Maté about his memoir Spare, during which they touched on the topic of drug use as a means of coping with past trauma. The royal revealed that his recreational usage actually helped him to heal from the death of his mother Princess Diana, telling Maté, “Marijuana is different [to cocaine]. It did really help me.” Harry went on to explain his experience with hallucinogenics, “It was the cleaning of the windscreen, the removal of life’s filters—these layers of filters—it removed it all for me and brought me a sense of relaxation, relief, comfort, a lightness that I managed to hold back for a period of time.” He added, “I started doing it recreationally and then started to realize how good it was for me. I would say it is one of the fundamental parts of my life that changed me and helped me deal with the traumas and the pains of the past. They’re unlocking so much of what we’ve suppressed.”
