It's nice to know that I'm not the only one getting into esotericism :) Could it be the results of Terror management theory due to the pandemic? Who knows, but this website is awes…

Critical theory and the midwits that promote it are back in style.

Did not know that male's were the only employees that "schmooze". You learn something everyday.
