It gets weirder. March 20th. Year of Our Lord, 2024. My Bathroom. So, I wake up this morning with a bloody lower lip. You want to know why I have a bl...

Thank you javi Hanover, that helps, and at least it proves me innocent of the charge of killing Wanda through enforced veganism, right? I mean, it's n...

Thank you javi, that helps, and at least it proves me innocent of the charge of killing Wanda through enforced veganism, right? i mean, it's not like ...

Thank you! Thank you all for your much valued advice! OK, so hear me out. Here’s my theory: Wolfgang’s eating his own shit is a Hamlet move–'Though th...

We're basically in agreement except for the nomenclature I guess, but fwiw I see Bernie as a kind of extension of occupy, which was more clearly popul...

... Midnight, March 19th, Year of Our Lord, 2024. My Bedroom. I really need to start keeping a record of this so I can even believe it myself. Not fiv...

Ok, I am freaking out right now. Wolfgang has started eating his own shit and he flat out refuses to tell me why. This ties in with some other worryin...

I think it may be possible to distinguish between two basic types of populism: let's call them "cause populism" and "power populism". Cause populism g...

Love me a bit of Jewrish food on Rabbi Patrick's day. :up:

I celebrate it religiously. :pray: /uploads/files/2d/c7xfsj3hy9pvd7ei.jpeg

I am currently in Thailand, bruv. But if he passes through the Kingdom of Kerry, let me know and I'll steer him right. :strong:

Oh, what else... ? Certainly not. I did stuff Wanda, who was a particularly beautiful Siamese, and now resides on my mantle. But that's hardly unusual...

Of course, I didn't really kill my cats with veganism. That would be ridiculous.

Try searching for Heidegger + Nazi, you'll more than likely get a few to choose from.

I may be opening myself up to mockery here, the bane of the honest man. But if you are familiar with the phenomenon of horse whisperers, I am that to ...

I was wondering why they all died. But still, just run with me on this...

My other Hamster is called Basma and is Syrian. Wolfgang, who is Siberian and somewhat of a Siberian supremacist, does not like her at all and constan...

I'm glad you clarified actually. One less evil philosopher to be concerned with. And on that note...

I prefer @"Hanover"'s version.

I have a particular disgust for child beaters so I will never like Wittgenstein as a character (even though he may have reformed). Anyway, yes, not th...

He also beat up the little girls and boys in his classes as a school teacher (even to the point of knocking one of them unconscious). https://en.m.wik...

I came up with it in consultation with my hamster, Wolfgang. He has a devilish wit. A riddle, eh? You have outdone yourself, Yorick!

It's rather like people not having the word "braies" in their vocabulary and thus never finding themselves in truly comfortable underwear.

Buzz, Buzz... Methinks some knave did insult me here but who I know not. Is that you, Polonius?!

Loco!

Sadly I edited it anyhow...

Is that... irony? https://youtu.be/awD1gtpdWIA?si=ny-tr_Q1LQHgS9uX

I do hope Keir Starmer gets caught shoplifting though.

Speak for yourself. Most people would find it a breeze to come up with a story of a hypocritical politician of whatever persuasion. (Probably because ...

How curiously eloquent of you. :chin:

I conclude my argument by observing that the mescadine has several distinct advantages over the toffee apple as a locomotive support for a London bus....

Please apply reason or at least a modicum of logic to your inquiries my dear man or you risk undermining @"Jamal"'s tenuous renewed faith in your inte...

Indeed, I was just about to comment that combined with a nice thick slab of toast slathered with raspberry jam, a couple of muscalines make for a fine...

:lol: :clap:

Being a man of the world, I'm quite partial to a muscadine or two with my morning muffin. Of course, they have the disadvantage of being extremely dif...

I appreciate your confidence in my perceptual capacities and historical knowledge, javi, but I believe my intimate knowledge of the shape and contours...

Yessir! :party: Doesn't one of those buildings look like a double decker London bus to you? Or perhaps someone put something in my tea. :chin:

Still leaning towards the bus as fave though. Keep them coming.

Looks like what a three year old who got to play with lego for the first time would come up with. Thumbs up from me.

@"Jamal" Nice pics. I like the one of the big concrete bus in particular. :up:

I approve this message. :up:

That is unfortunate. More time in the Shoutbox may help though. :strong:

It was pretty clear from the context it didn't. However, we don't really need the link to get the point anyhow.

Been hanging with my AI therapist. * Me: I feel bad. AI: So, you don't feel good? Me: Yes, I think I may need your help. AI: How can I help you? Me: I...

I like Cioran's writing. There's wit and bite to it. I should read more Zapffe. I'm not a pessimist but I enjoy the aesthetic. More so, it encourages ...

Niiiiiiihilist!!!!! :100:

Really? I would have thought that a rather niche activity, like e.g. professional roller skating or playing the banjo.

Pessimist philosophers are hard workers who probably believe in what they're doing. I.e. their lives most likely have meaning for them regardless of /...
