Words matter They matter more than we realize Words have an impact. The world has changed. We have changed. We are all linked, sharing one brain. We are all neurons and through our ethernet synapses, one brain is the sum of us. The idea of trending gives value and importance. Sadly, trending itself adds no judgments. no restrictions. and so this stage we offer to literally every neuron, plays a part in popular belief. Before our satellites and mainstream fluid-flowing words, we were our own brains. connections limited. Before the thoughts of billions were visible, we had our own, our kin, and that's it. In psychology, the mind is most fascinated with the negative. Any "word" you wanna use to describe it. violence, drama, tragedy, racism...

They tell me, there is nothing you can do. Sorry about your bad luck! What would be fair is... as a new home owner, there should be a grace period. By the time I learned of how the hike in property value would affect my escrow, it was too late. Injustice #2: Why are basic economy airline tickets non-refundable and non-transferable?
