‘Chaos Is a Ladder; but One No One Can Climb It for You
Apr 13, 2020, 11:57 AM “Men: you’re failing to make the proper calculation. When trust is low a return to brotherhood is the only method of repair.

Each Academic Discipline Has Its Own Language and Terminology.
Apr 13, 2020, 8:30 PM by Bjarg Jonsson Each academic discipline has its own language and terminology.

Apr 15, 2020, 10:41 AM by Mathew Smith People like that are constantly looking for solutions to fail, or people they disagree with to fail. Anything and everything they can do to not have to show up. Like a whiny 4th grader not wanting to do his homework ‘It’s too haaaaaaard!’. Yep, it is…as hard…
