Actually though, it's not in fact a matter of "each to their own", since the old design is objectively bad, with overly long column widths for text be...

Each to their own. I have always detested the old bulletin board design.
November 27, 2025 at 09:52
Bargain!

Discourse is 100% free and open source. I'm just using it in the incarnation hosted by Discourse themselves. By paying them we keep a high quality ope...

For lunch, I experimented. I made a sort of Turkish chicken liver kebab thing. Great success. Chicken liver, chopped quite smallly, mixed with spices ...

You keep repeating the falsehood that operating as a company creates new risks. TPF is already a service, and I'm already a UK citizen. Creating the c...

I'm a butterhead man. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQpVLfT9POEjDSr74b7DNrMdKyYK_KmoEKJWNxqFkY-OOVziSCtMyggBOfT&s=10

Thanks, Leon, I appreciate the vote of confidence. Questions and objections are very welcome—they help me publicly explain, for the benefit of other m...

Pure fantasy.

To escape an existing legal liability! Like I’m already facing a fine or a lawsuit and I form a company to escape the consequences. So you've misunder...
November 26, 2025 at 19:46
Yeah, good point! How did I get dragged into talking about private lawsuits?
November 26, 2025 at 19:07
Yep!
November 26, 2025 at 18:36
As I said, the offence happens where the harm is suffered. So yes, the case can be brought in London because that's where the harm occurred, but in re...
November 26, 2025 at 18:25
No, legally I'm already providing a service. Users already have the same rights they'll have when a company operates it. OSA, GDPR, and probably other...
November 26, 2025 at 18:19
Thank you for your efforts and for your interesting contributions, but I remain confident in the path I have mapped out. :up:
November 26, 2025 at 18:09
The plaintiff's location is the connection. It's about where the harm has occurred. The upshot is if the alleged harm happened in London, a plaintiff ...

Again, I have no idea what is going on in your legal system but in UK law, pretty much everything you say in that post is false, and perhaps based on ...

Rather than an argument against forming a UK company, this seems to be an argument against existing at all.
November 26, 2025 at 17:04
Remind me again why you think it's better if I get sued personally rather than The Philosophy Forum Ltd.

The Online Safety Act is precisely the legislation I am setting up the new site to comply with. By the time we launch we'll have compliance nailed dow...

A UK limited company is very simple. In contrast, a non-profit or charitable incorporated organisation (CIO) or similar would mean a lot of bureaucrac...
November 26, 2025 at 16:24
No, a micro-entity is a type of limited company. I have run limited companies before. I had one on my own when I was a contract programmer. It was not...
November 26, 2025 at 14:05
I don't get this. If TPF is going to be sued I'd rather it was run as a company, since otherwise I'd be personally liable. I mean, that's the whole po...
November 26, 2025 at 13:42
Note that since the company will be a micro-entity, accounts and administration will not be costly and burdensome at all. You are vastly overstating i...

@"Clarendon" yesterday produced a very good post in another thread which covers the issue of definitions in metaphysics: https://thephilosophyforum.co...

Ok, you win.

I've got pickled herring up to my ears, and not a smoked haddock in sight :cry:
November 26, 2025 at 04:01
For fish for breakfast you can't beat smoked haddock poached gently in milk, served with a poached egg. https://images.ctfassets.net/19k2avo78jf9/5D2R...

The new place makes it even easier because it follows the standard whereby if you write "---" it’s rendered as "—". Maybe "--" works too. Edit: btw it...

Yeah, but I have a feeling he was one of those reincarnated members, who had been banned on the first site. Don't quote me on that.
November 25, 2025 at 15:48
I'm closing this because it's low-quality and has run its course.
November 25, 2025 at 15:16
No, I still don't accept the fast-food barbecue sauces; a good chipotle sauce is not for children, in my view. Particularly with "adult intentions.".
November 25, 2025 at 13:10
I look forward to that.
November 25, 2025 at 11:48
I'd like to see the return of @"Streetlight" to be honest. Seriously, I think we gave banned members a second chance when we moved in 2015, and one or...
November 25, 2025 at 06:13
It's a sad fact that I have had to make a habit of avoiding barbecue sauce, because most often it's the stuff I don't like, the mainstream mass-market...

Some were materialists, some were not. Democritus, Leucippus and Epicurus believed the soul was material (made of atoms, specifically), along with eve...

Keen's is to Colman's as Vegemite is to Marmite. First I wrote "Vegetime" but then corrected it. Vegetime is that time of day when a reluctant child i...

Yes, and the question that raises is in what sense negative dialectics is metaphysics. I imagine his answer will parallel his attitude to philosophica...

Be careful. It's extremely hot, as in strong, so it needs to be used sparingly, spread thinly across bread in a ham sandwich or mixed with mayonnaise....
November 25, 2025 at 00:02
It worked! :blush: The internet told me Americans use "cutlery" solely in reference to cutting things, so I used "utensils". I must stop bending to Am...

Fancy. Exactly. They look good. The handle-length to tine-length ratio is greater smaller than I'm used to. That might be a good thing, I'm not sure.
November 24, 2025 at 08:09
Talking of utensils, I'm perennially amazed at the popularity of bad ones, especially forks. The house I'm in right now has these: https://i.postimg.c...

I'm curious: as someone who is more familiar with Aristotle than me, how would you evaluate Adorno's interpretations?
November 24, 2025 at 06:50
I may look back on this moment and think, "how could I have let this happen?"
November 24, 2025 at 06:35
I've got all the messages, I think, so yeah, I'm pretty sure I can send you an export of your conversations.
