Is it e-voke or in-voke? I don't want to get it wrong and blow up the high school.

I think you're kind of over doing it tho. Back to USD's and GBP's.
November 21, 2022 at 17:31
True. Shooting me in the head would be legal though.

I don't think your country has any satellites, do they?
November 21, 2022 at 14:57
If you had spy satellites, you probably wouldn't feel manipulated.

I think you're just procrastinating instead of studying how to trade on the currency market.
November 21, 2022 at 14:13
Uh huh.

Zelensky probably will use everything at his disposal to secure his goals. Since it's a matter of self-preservation, it can't be condemned. We'll all ...

Next time go to Dr Pimple Popper and tell her you want some of the youtube profits.

In the OP you were going by moral nihilism (there are no true moral claims). Now you're defining good as what should be done. @"Metaphysician Undercov...

You're saying that it's built into the concept of communication that our utterances must be distinct. And yet we can express the same proposition.

They made Star Wars into a musical?

They were obviously trying to take Kiev, and we now know that Putin was trying to stamp out the Ukrainian identity in Kherson. Putin is without a doub...

It could be that saying is also a thing that is done, as when you point to the gavagai. Maybe nothing is ever specified. There are no references, so t...

You've got Zelensky negotiating from a position of power.
November 16, 2022 at 22:09
It's just far fetched that the Russians would divest themselves of their assets prior to official negotiations. I don't know.
November 16, 2022 at 20:51
They didn't. They were forced to give it up.

Discovered C.J. Cherryh. Not bad.

None of the Russophiles want to come out and say it. I'm not sure why.
November 16, 2022 at 16:52
I think his position is pretty clear. He's saddened that Russia is struggling right now. *shrug*

There are those who are obviously emotionally invested in the idea of a powerful Russia, as a force of nature. Insinuations that it's just a kleptocra...

North America once had a huge inland sea.

True. For the most part, it's out of our hands. :smile: Maybe Atlanta will be on the coast some day.
