Anyone tried the Terabox mod APK? Thoughts?
Such a tired argument, blaming video games yet again.
This was uninformed, facile blather. Where were the facts about actual amounts and rates of consumption?
The host speaks as if everything she says is salacious gossip. It'd be more tolerable and credible if she would just speak like an adult.

Hello. Survivers of the present past.. 22-18-2021.
Lots of interesting points raised.
The school renaming was so stupid! I live in San Francisco and my children attend public school. Their school is amazing with hyper qualified and dedicated professionals. The school board is worthless. As was their name change "research" ie the placement of Lafayette (a universally revered anti slavery French general) on the list. I love how progressive the city is but priorities are often questionable.
The advertising is irrelevant. I am not looking for a life that matters. Stop the hospice advertising from New York.
Hi, What's next for Haiti and France? Instead of looking for US dollars to fix Haiti problems. What other countries are helping Haiti and if so how? Thank you.
I hope full approval will help end the confusion about getting vaccinated. We need to get schools opened and maybe full approval will help.
