HAF:

Researchers led by Markus Leweke of the University of Cologne in Germany studied 39 people with schizophrenia who were hospitalized for a psychotic episode. Nineteen patients were treated with amisulpride, an...

Will Life Extension Mean the End of Religion? →
Very good, very interesting article:
But when we invent a real treatment for aging - when we can stop people from growing old, when we can rejuvenate ourselves at will - that will be the acid test of whether most religious people really believe what they say they do. Most religions teach that death is only the gateway into another realm of existence, one so blissful that we should envy the dead...

Romance Ain't Dead
I never know how to fucking explain myself. It’s a rare moment for me when a cliche actually applies but really it’s not ‘you’… it’s ‘me’.

I encourage you to read this entire article although… it’s just… it’s stark:
“Children are known to be compliant patients and that makes them a highly desirable market for drugs,” says former Pharma rep Gwen Olsen, author of Confessions of an Rx Drug Pusher.6 “Children are forced by school personnel to take their drugs, they are forced by their parents to take their...

A Lesbo's Guide to Eating Vagina →
Quality reading:
Did you know that The VICE Guide to Eating Pussy is still one of the main articles to bring people over to VICE.com? The reason for this is because unless you’re five years old, an unadventurous straight girl, or some other manner of person who sucks, you’ve probably had your mouth on a vagina and want to grow better and better in your skills as your life moves...
