Dicks.

Yep, and this is in line with the common sociological observations about our society of atomism, isolation, and individualism. Sometimes I feel like m...

I couldn’t have put it better myself. But does a self help book really change your perspective, or does it just give you one to try on for a while? Th...

Those two words are intimately related anyway, so they already contain each other’s meanings.

I thought it was a Hanoverian neologism.

That raised a chuckle in me. I’ve been meaning to read Kafka again. I think it was beef though.

The complementary blue, rather than orange, is designed to undermine any suggestions of Irishness.

Does that go for Heidegger too?

:up: In the old forum users could pick their own theme but we can’t implement that here. We can’t even change the background colour of the main discus...

Unfortunately we have members who are in the southern hemisphere, so that would not be fair. EDIT: I could have worded that better.

Also, I was procrastinating.

:up: No symbolism. By the way I've moved this to the Feedback section.

In the only very partially good old days, at least in France and the UK social housing was the arena for visionary architecture and experimentation in...

The irony is that I said “public housing estate” to be understood by my international audience, otherwise I’d have said “council estate” or even “sche...

I am unable to understand that sentence. That is to say … huh?

I think I was just being too British again. housing estate noun BRITISH: a group of houses built together in a planned way, sometimes by the local gov...

You inadvertently made a good point: the logo's combination of fonts is indeed bad. To fix it I'd probably just use the big font for the "The".

Breakfast: One samsa meat pie, one apple, and homemade Turkish coffee because the only coffee-making thing in my apartment is a cezve, which I don't k...

An interesting alternative example to use is fishing, because fish are lacking in the furry cuteness that evokes our sentimental anthropomorphism. I d...

Ah.

:lol: :up: Embrace Your Contradictions: How Hegel’s Science of Logic Can Help You Achieve Wholeness by Owning Your Inner Conflicts

How the Transcendental Doctrine of Elements Can Change Your Life. Well, I am also in partial agreement.

I recognize that as a rendering of a Boston or Massachusetts accent. :up:

Where I come from, this shade of green is associated with football (Celtic), religion (Catholic), or ancestry (Irish). I used to live in a public hous...

Isn’t philosophy, at its best, distinguished from self-help by its deep and original insights, rather than, or as well as, by its arguments? Self-help...

Rereading Kant’s Critique of Pure Reason by Theodor Adorno, his introductory lecture course given in 1959. Clear and deep and great fun to read, highl...

Like @"Noble Dust", I can’t remember if Fred is your dog or your son.

Elitism judges the things, snobbery judges the person. Elitism holds up the best for everyone to see and appreciate if they can or want to, but snobbe...

What ever happened to @"Agustino"?

Yes, or maybe viridian.

:up: The button colour doesn't look right though, so maybe I'll try something else.

Great interpretation. One vote of approval is enough for me. The green stays!

I changed the style, just need to update the logo.

Using the TPF functionality or tags, I don't think so--which means you have to download it, resize it yourself, then upload it to here.

The eggs add too much colour.

:up: :grin:

Don't be ashamed Javi. Hanover thinks he’s too cool for emojis, so misunderstandings are the result. When your style of humour is what is known as “dr...

Since I agreed with the comment you were replying to, I feel I should point out that Hanover was joking. It might take you more than a few years to ge...

Well yeah, that’s pretty much what I said. This is my perception too.

Although millions of people like to say that English is uniquely flexible, I suspect it’s bollocks, having no support from linguistics, though I could...

The correct spelling is pernicious.

That’s one of your redeeming qualities.

Kazakhstan food update: Had an incredibly delicious ?skender kebab yesterday for lunch and some very nice fresh pasta at an Italian restaurant for din...

I don’t think so. It’s a good OP. It just takes a bit more time and thought to reply to it compared to many others. I suggest you stop posting in this...

This will have to be my next PKD :grin:

I think I use the word “several” too often.

:up: My decision procedure, which I have formulated carefully over a period of several years: reply when I feel like it, don’t when I don’t.

In my youth I would occasionally have that many pints. These days it’s unimaginable.

There are those among the membership who write good posts and yet are clearly not worried by any of this. Sometimes it’s rude, and rudeness isn’t grea...

If you’re motivated by a philosophical spirit then you’ll likely feel compelled to respond to difficult questions.
