    What's a power bottom?

    In a gay couple the bottom is the person receiving. This is generally seen as the submissive position. The power bottom is one in such position but is still in control of the current sexual act, and generally the relationship.

    This is grossly simplified, but mostly accurate.

    Now, I've heard that speed has something to do with it.

    Not really no. It's basically still being the one in control of the sex even though you are receiving.

    In summary: don't worry about it.

    What can change the nature of a man?

    Drugs, women, power, money, ect.
    None of those necessarily change his nature. They simply allow him to express his nature through actions he otherwise couldn't without them.


    The question wasn't "what will change the nature of a man" it was "what can change the nature of a man." So i am still correct, even if just technically so.

    It's food, served on an air-plane. It's not that hard of a concept.

    To look into it deeper, they are pre-cooked meals made to be served on long flights.

    The odd taste is generally a mix of being over spiced and the fact that the human taste buds don't work properly at high altitudes, making the over spicing necessary.

    Although if I had to choose, I would say the thing most likely to change the nature of a man, is some sort of brain trauma. That shit can straight up fuck your personality

    A magician gives you a ring that, when worn, will let you see the world as it truly is.
    However, the ring will never leave your finger, and you will be unable to ever describe to another living person what you see.

    Simplest answer: cause we stole most of it and the ones we stole it from had it set up like that.

    Why they had it set up like that, i am not sure.

    it's worth noting that english and latin never fucked with the order very much

    which is most likely why i/j and u/v/w are next to each other

    man thank god we have J to use instead of I.

    A runner wants to run a certain distance - let us say 100 meters - in a finite time. But to reach the 100-meter mark, the runner must first reach the 50-meter mark, and to reach that, the runner must first run 25 meters. But to do that, he or she must first run 12.5 meters.

    Since space is infinitely divisible, we can repeat these 'requirements' forever. Thus the runner has to reach an infinite number of 'midpoints' in a finite time. This is impossible, so the runner can never reach his goal. In general, anyone who wants to move from one point to another must meet these requirements, and so motion is impossible, and what we perceive as motion is merely an illusion.

    You see the speed of the bottom informs the top how much pressure he's supposed to apply. Speed's the name of the game. Right buddy?

    No, the first point of the riddle was that there was no answer. Then he got so many letters asking for an answer that he made the poe answer and other answers up.
