<p>Well, why would any random upload have access to all the
parameters of ver experience? Are they also at minimum so
cognitively enhanced and hyper-honest as to see the implications
of tweaking various settings? Is there a Panic Button to
reestablish defaults? <br>

one could change the enjoyment of chocolate to the most

would adapt and inhibit extreme reactions and probably develop
an addiction and tolerance. Not in an upload. You could
presumably make every pleasure as intense as possible. </div>
