In my experience at least, nicotine actually does alleviate anxiety. That is, until you become addicted to it and the anxiety you want to alleviate is caused by the substance itself.

I don't think a substance being a depressant necessarily says anything about its effect on actual depression, but otherwise I agree with your sentiment.

My public library is exactly like that. Its made up of two adjacent buildings, one mainly for children, and the other for adults. The only problem is that both are fairly quiet because very few people go there.

Nope she has no use for it anymore. She's gonna buy a whole fucking new one because Travis Kelce is too tall for the old one.

She also sold her jet which I'm guessing is related. She had a dessault falcon 900lx registered as N898TS but she very recently sold it to a company in Missouri.

I am going to assume you are wrong because your name is awful.

Us real Americans make our own cheese with melted plastic and yellow food coloring. We don't need that commie dairy shit.

Obviously there are going to be more total enslaved people now, it scales with the population. The problem with looking at it that way is that it doesn't actually tell you if the situation is improving. All it tells you is that there are way more people now. That's why you look at a percentage. That will tell you how bad the problem was, how much better its gotten, and how much better it needs to get.

I'm not trying to argue that everything is ok because a smaller percentage of people are enslaved now. A percentage is simply the more useful method of measuring how common slavery is and comparing it to different times.

Its a fictional story from 4chan

If you aren't accounting for the change in population and you're just comparing the estimated number of slaves, then you are definitely correct. However, I think its probably better to measure what percentage of the population is made up of slaves.

Alright you convinced me I'm gonna start grinding up plastic and eating it in large quantities

What is your definition of slavery that would mean there is more slavery now than before the civil war?
