I don't know, but I hope so. I wouldn't mind a Prime Minister Thornberry, either. I don't think it will be Theresa May, and if it's going to be Boris ...

Toilet humour? Ah, great. That's my day completely ruined.
September 28, 2017 at 13:15
I'm bi-winning.
September 28, 2017 at 13:10
>:O Yes. I found out on this very forum, after being diagnosed by doctors Terrapin and Agustino.
September 28, 2017 at 13:05
It could have been clearer, so I made it so. Why is it such a big deal for you? It's only a title, and your original title was merely transferred to t...

This is fun. Who shall we psychoanalyse next? :B Lie down on the couch.
September 28, 2017 at 12:15
My money's on the last one. Wosret neglected to mention that he was in a gay club at the time. He wants to meet up with the guy for sex and maybe more...
September 28, 2017 at 12:02
Then you should have put that in your opening post instead of "Randomness, like, WTF??"
September 28, 2017 at 11:12
That's not an apt exclusion. I don't believe that the guy on stage or on television who appears to believe that he's invisible or a chicken or has com...

I'd much rather see a magician perform an impressive slight of hand trick and pass it off as magic (which we know isn't real), than two actors pretend...
September 28, 2017 at 10:51
My issue is that I don't get why people buy into it, unless they've fallen for the trick. I wouldn't want to spend my money or waste my time on that k...
September 28, 2017 at 10:36
From Quora: That's pretty much what I think. That's his USP, and it has brought him fame, a shitload of money, and a massive cult following. Credulous...
September 28, 2017 at 10:29
I don't know how they do it, but that's the trick. It's a profession. Their job is to make it look as believable as possible. It's more plausible that...
September 28, 2017 at 09:42
Lol, why not? Because they make it look like they're picked randomly?
September 28, 2017 at 09:33
All of it. What you see on television or on a stage. The only trick of the mind going on here is when a gullible audience fails to realise that what t...

With a time machine?
September 28, 2017 at 09:26
Other than himself? I wouldn't be surprised if they were in on it and merely acting for the camera. Why people are sucked in by this bullshit is beyon...

Wut?
September 25, 2017 at 16:55
:P The law matters in the context of this discussion, as the question is whether contraception is murder, and the definition of murder which matters m...
September 25, 2017 at 16:35
Suppose you weren't even there at the time. Suppose you were in fact round my place. Suppose I'd be willing to testify, for the right price...
September 24, 2017 at 20:14
No, contraception is not murder. (And eating a banana isn't assault). The Terminator would be guilty of some sort of crime, but not murder. There's no...

I had an inky dusk squid in days of yore.
September 23, 2017 at 20:40
>:O
September 20, 2017 at 14:06
It's not fine. It was very nearly deleted. If that's the question, then that should be the title, instead of something obscure like 'Beautiful Illusio...
September 20, 2017 at 13:59
No. That's not the issue. The issue has been explained. Streetlight X provided an enumerated standard which, as the site staff agree, was not adhered ...
September 17, 2017 at 16:23
No, not unless it's suitable for the 'Questions' subcategory in the 'Learning Centre'. This is a 'place to ask your questions about philosophical issu...
September 17, 2017 at 16:09
Training, training, training... The five keys, the three pillars, the five points to health and safety, the company's vision, blah de blah.
September 09, 2017 at 16:10
You're welcome. Just to be clear, if you don't want a discussion to be in the 'question and answer' style, all you have to do is not tick the box next...
September 09, 2017 at 16:03
I wasn't going to reply to that, but I'll give you a brief reply and then converse with you no more. I did give you an example, I also explained that ...
September 08, 2017 at 19:56
No. All comments are viewable. If you set up the discussion in the 'question' mode, as you've done here, then you get to pick a reply as the answer to...
September 08, 2017 at 17:12
Are you being serious? Obviously you can't start living again after you've died. And if you're just nitpicking at my imperfect analogy, then, really, ...
September 06, 2017 at 16:20
It is ridiculous to compare humans to animals and plants in that way. I was certainly not extrapolating my stance to all living things. Did anyone her...
September 06, 2017 at 15:54
And that's why Hanover's dream to become a geometry teacher never materialised.
September 06, 2017 at 00:35
You need a point to live at all, unless you've lost or abandoned reason, in which case it wouldn't matter whether your next act was to watch a film or...
September 06, 2017 at 00:30
Well, yes, living is a continual process, until it ceases, and that process itself doesn't require any point. But living is like a car, and we are the...
September 06, 2017 at 00:02
Of course you need a point to live. Ask anyone who you think "just does" why they haven't killed themselves, and they'll give you that point. You don'...
September 05, 2017 at 15:02
The question "What's the point of living?" makes a lot more sense than "What's the point of living if you eventually die?". The latter begs the questi...
September 05, 2017 at 01:45
I'd find that boring. I like face-to-face customer service. The kind of work I was describing was just a temporary phase, and my job role once the sto...
September 03, 2017 at 19:20
Thank fuck that's over. Had to remove whole aisles worth of stock, counting and scanning everything as we go, then build them into pallets to be sent ...

I've been working consecutive 12 hour nightshifts. Hopefully tonight will be the last one. It will depend on how much we get done tonight.
August 30, 2017 at 15:38
Comedy gold.
August 25, 2017 at 10:10
What about Theresa May? "Strong and stable"! Cracks me up every time. :D
August 25, 2017 at 10:07
That washed up racist? He's rubbish.
August 25, 2017 at 10:03
Not funny. If you give that as an attempt at an example of funny, then you should probably just give up trying. I got to around 4 minutes before I cou...
August 25, 2017 at 09:51
People who block my path, typically slow walkers. I quite like these solutions: /uploads/files/38/nopx0cjftq1o6db2.jpg https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D...
August 25, 2017 at 08:35
Same difference.
August 25, 2017 at 08:12
That's not true. You just have to read between the lines. It might help to think about how and when it's used rather than it's literal meaning. It can...
August 24, 2017 at 23:00
I see what you did there. ;)
August 24, 2017 at 22:50
It's basically just a statement of the law of identity with further implied meaning. It can indicate a stoical attitude, as with other idioms such as ...
August 24, 2017 at 08:50
No, it's extremely unethical and deserves severe punishment. No hobbies of any kind for anyone, ever. Ethel should be lined up and shot for her knitti...
