My primary school teacher also called them willy warmers.

I fault that song primarily for a couple of historical inaccuracies. Rasputin was probably not the "Lover of the Russian queen" and I have not seen so...

Ah, now it makes sense

I guess that's fair. I won't go into much detail but I will say that your conception of the following are wanting: 1. Hunter-gatherer societies: the a...

Yes, but only if you eat the liver of members of the same species as yourself. That's just the way it works.

I've enjoyed calf, chicken, and lamb liver. I'm not sure I've had beef liver, assuming it's different from calf liver. I've also had hare's kidneys, b...

Liver is delicious and good for you. Foie gras probably not so much.

Chicken livers and eggs

It's a reflection of the private and perhaps even sacrosanct nature of shitting and fucking, but another aspect is probably the widespread cultural co...

Well I'm not arguing in favour of uncaused causes, just pointing out that it's not self-contradictory in the way that "nonexistent existent" is.

If I had to take a bath in said brown substance and I could choose between types, that which emanates from the back end of a cow would probably be my ...

I guess you’re lucky he didn’t give you bigpox.

The latter is self-contradictory, but the former is not. It’s not nonsense to say that a cause is itself uncaused: it causes, but is not caused. Howev...

Goat pox is a thing, only it’s not conventionally a single word. If my memory serves me right, sources of the virus include cutaneous lesions, saliva,...

Are you including salmon and trout? I noticed that the balik ekmek stands that are popular with locals and had very long queues did not stink at all, ...

You say that now. If you say that after a bite of a spicy Istanbul mackerel sandwich, I'll take you seriously. Who was? Me? No, never heard of them. A...

Update: bike arrived. The chainring is badly bent but it's my fault for failing to pack it proper.

Don't forget the mackerel.

A late breakfast of Uzbek bread, beetroot hummus, and tzatziki. Things aren't so bad.

Just back from Istanbul. What an amazing city. Apart from anything else, I didn't expect mackerel wraps to be such a thing there. Returning to my curr...

I predicted he would burn brightly and thereafter disappear. Something to do with youth.

Succinct and useful :up: A followup question might be: how much does neoliberalism allow capitalism to abandon states, that is, nation states?

Same here, but … everything in its right place.

Yep. Whether instead of Humanities and Social Sciences we should have psychology, sociology, history, and so on, as separate categories, I don’t know....

Yeah, I drove along that coastline a few years ago and there were plastic-covered crops for about 20 kilometres. A very strange place.

They used to film the spaghetti westerns down there, I believe, so I think it's been dry in that region for a while.

Buenos dias! I have awoken this morning in Spain after a long and peaceful sleep. The sun, however, has not revealed itself. In fact it was raining as...

Even if this comment made sense it would be foolish. Don't waste our time please. Up your game.

Thanks :smile:

Thanks. I hope it will be a major turning point in my life. Good point. To get around this difficulty, we count the dead individual for as long as it ...

Who is "we"? In my culture we always count the dead ones, no matter whether it's chickens or people.

Rings a bell.

Eh? Did I unconsciously quote a line from a great masterpiece?

I buried mine, without ceremony.

Definitionally I'd say that the far left is whoever is politically active towards the swift replacement of capitalism with socialism, where socialism ...
