You know you’re a true Shoutbox veteran when discussions seem to come back around in cycles of eternal recurrence. The first time it came up (if it wa...

I challenge @"Noble Dust"’s claim to the title of Shoutbox king of forensic meal analysis… For lunch I made myself a lamb wrap. I put some lamb fillet...

Hey! I’m done here.

Use the icon that looks like an eye. You can also edit the tag, like this: Clever note goes here Clever note goes here

That’s about right aye.

:lol: My use of “abyss” was mainly me hitting a common reference point with respect to existentialism and stuff, although it’s also true. One thing I’...

Death + the pointlessness of existence. Hey, I’m attempting to maintain some cheeriness here so don’t grill me on the characteristics of my anxiety. :...

No, those are ways of dismissing it with stereotyping. It’s more about existential angst and desperation in the face of the abyss.

It was at the age of 26 that I moved from Scotland to the North of England to start my first job as a programmer, so it’s a memorable year. At the tim...

I don’t know why you’re talking to the floor, but I can step in to answer the question. Ups and downs all the way for me, but I was certainly happier ...

So angry right now. :rage:

Thanks in advance for your financial support :up:

In these moments I am frantically accelerating away from slavering snarling mouths and do not have time to reach for my pump. My pump is a mini-pump s...

Citations please! In any case, while narrowly escaping from these dogs I usually detect strong signs of hostility, which I can surely be allowed to re...

Probably in the way you’d protect any online account: use a strong password and enable two-factor authentication.

PayPal is as safe and secure as any good online payment system and I don’t have plans to gather money in some other way.

:ok:

I’m not arguing with your assessment of rich dog-owners. Do they dress them in designer winter suits? (*whose)

I wonder if you’d say that had you been chased by a Caucasian Shepherd, a Doberman, a Great Pyrenees, a Rottweiler, and many others (they idiotically ...

And Haruki Murakami seems to like them a lot. I have known many people who adopted dogs from shelters and they have mostly worked out well. It’s bette...

This is true, but dogs might be dangerous by nature as much as they are friendly by nature. They can be both, and who is to say which is more essentia...

:up: :yum:

Happy birthday Javi :party: It varies. I’ve known people who demanded breakfast in bed and multiple gifts and champagne and generally special treatmen...

Same here, I can’t get on with the creatures. Donkeys I like though.

Don’t worry @"javi2541997", I have no idea what they’re talking about either.

I’ve known people who grew bitter and nasty as they aged. I’ve known other people who became mellow, timid, and soft. Which is worse? The solution I s...

Please start another thread if you want to have a discussion. This thread is solely to collect questions.

Yeah. I still haven’t seen it.

Preferred the parrot.

I can’t think what to ask Noam Chomsky. Any suggestions?

Sounds good, but hold the carrots.

But, except for the bit about scientism, couldn’t this describe any philosopher who wants to overturn the thought of their predecessors? They reject t...

No don’t worry, I’m still totally willing to kick your ass (or “arse” as Banno would have me say).

It’s ok, he’s just Australian.

A charitable interpretation of @"T Clark"’s position is that he is not saying, for example, that in a discussion entitled “What is truth?” we have to ...

I realized @"Noble Dust" that this actually supports your position, not mine. To be of the YouTube generation is to have had one’s sense of humour par...

That’s a good spin to put on a failed omelette. I use it sometimes too.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ll use milk or cream when I feel like it. There is a diverse range of excellent scrambled eggs, that’s what I’m trying to get ac...

:cry:

I admit I might fail that test, since my YouTube priorities have probably always been different from yours, i.e., more sophisticated and cultured. It ...

I’ve been watching YouTube as long as you have, and from the very first video I was, unlike you, already armed with a fully developed sense of humour....

If it makes you feel any better, I hated @"BC"’s parrot video even more. Of course ND, it must be because I’m old. :lol: At a mere fifty years I’m not...

I secretly thought it was mildly diverting. I had three problems with it: 1. The parrot’s vocalizations did not surprise me; it sounded like the kind ...

I don’t need milk or cream to make excellent scrambled eggs, and I prefer the term “bouncy”.

Is this a reference to the famous American cheese which I had to google to work out what you were talking about? If so, I applaud you. Would that be s...

TPF rocked by secret cheese scandal

I am okay. I did have some cheese today, but decided not to tell anyone about it.
