You'll note the split hoof on the pig, which is required for it to be kosher, but because it doesn't also chew its cud, it is treif. That's why, in ca...

He's says it the way I do, so I welcome him into my mischpacha with open arms. Jury's out on you. Can't make heads or tails of your phonetic script.

I took up the idea of the water bottle to bed, and now I'm dealing with a preggers water bottle. Damn the Supreme Court! Where's Roe v. Wade when I ne...

You guys say pu-jah-mus or pu-jam-mus? To say the latter identifies you as a foreigner. Stranger danger.

The interruption deprived us of countless pig pic uploads from which we'll never have sufficient time to recover.

I came upon this in a very different context, but it struck me as applicable: The real struggle is not between East and West, or capitalism and commun...

It's part of a complex mind control thing I do where I read other's opinions, pretend I didn't, then repeat them as my own, which endears me to them a...

On my way to the village cobbler, who's next to the town blacksmith hammering away on the anvil, just past the tannery by the river where the day's hi...

I was distracted by the thought of having tennis shoes (cheap ones no less) at a cobbler, like they can cut off the rubber soles and replace them with...

I liked it but got thrown by the phrase "a stinking wood" from the get go and wasn't sure if this was a reference to something I never heard of. Had i...

I have a story I submitted and it is interesting how it's been interpreted. The 200 word limit forces less development, and leaves the reader with mor...

I just thought it described an eye floater.

Curious suggestion that I misunderstood. Impossible. I'm usually spot on on such things.

My company Christmas party is tonight, and if it's safe to project upon others what I'm thinking myself, no on wants to go.

Really??? Shawn references interspeceal oral pleasuration and somehow I'm the perv? Whatevs..

Was this like when a waiter spits in the food of an obnoxious patron but in this case they doused the sundae in their own blood instead of sauce? I'd ...

I don't know how you conclude that's a female cow. We have limited information based upon the picture, but could just as easily be some sort of goat o...

Here's what the article said: "North Korea has publicly executed three teenagers by firing squad – two for watching and distributing South Korean movi...

I agree with @"Shawn". It seems the OP is equating schizophrenia with doubt and then saying Descartes and those that followed him were anti-schizophre...
December 08, 2022 at 01:23
The comments I'm making aren't controversial. The reason marketing and advertising work is because it's possible to convince people to do things they ...

I offered a counter-example to your specious claim that it is only those fearful of the validity of their claims who wish to suppress their opponents....

If we are to learn that Twitter openly assisted the Biden campaign, and this outrages us, what do we about this: https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/29/politi...
December 05, 2022 at 23:54
That's just false speculative psychoanalysis. Aversion to racist rhetoric is fear of eventual oppression. That people speak of the evil they intend to...

I can sympathize with the difficulty of not fully appreciating a language's meaning to the level of a native speaker, but I'm not really sympathetic t...

I'd colonize it and use it as my new found toy.
December 05, 2022 at 01:40
If think the analogy correct, but I'm not sure it solves our ineffablity problem. Your statements are created by you and experienced by me, just as I ...

should've cut them smaller, but they taste pretty good. Turns out English cooking is my calling. /uploads/resized/files/vu/uxsh5elznrrz4fst.jpg

I find I find myself when I'm not trying to figure out what others want. Not that I was overly other oriented in the first place, but time alone is wh...

Faff or no faff, I took your comment as a challenge and my scones are baking as we speak. I'm even bold enough to tell you that before they're done, s...

So then government sponsored propoganda is acceptable free speech, even though it is a characteristic of totalitarian regimes?
December 04, 2022 at 02:45
Just that at some basic level, theistic or not, you're not going to get any where starting with Cartesian doubt. So posit what you need to and build f...

Meh. /uploads/resized/files/1c/if5n2r5i9j4fgwg6.jpg That I can't know the specific contents of other minds doesn't mean I only know of my own mind. I ...

To convey indicates the transporting of my thought to your thought, a metaphorical movement through space, akin to a mail delivery, and of course that...

Lakoff's "Metaphors We Live By" makes this point, a book I've both seen and read. Prose differs from poetry in form, not substance.
December 04, 2022 at 01:45
As with most of those sci-fi books, I have seen them. I didn't read them nor see the movie, but I did see the book. Most, from what I saw, were really...
December 04, 2022 at 01:20
Because "about" means concerning or referencing, but doesn't mean conveying, which would mean transferring actual content.

If Musk uses Twitter to spread Aryan supremecy, is that speech prohibited propoganda only if he associates with an established political movement, but...

There's also the Germanesque compound word trick. For example, you can save words by saying compoundwordtrick. This might be a hint into how to figure...

It wasn't the government. It was the opposition party. There's no evidence Twitter was coerced. If they did delete tweets, it's because they were alig...

He won't act from conscience. He'll count beans. If removal of the post will increase profits, that's what he'll do. It has nothing to do with consist...

My suggestion wasn't so much about non-person speech (like in corporate giving being a form of speech), but in stating that the speech limitations exi...

From what I've heard, although the proof is hardly fully assessed, is it is alleged the Democratic National Committee and the Biden campaign were able...

Had to look up the term Elevenses. I think I'll adopt that custom in my office. It sounds so proper. At 11, I will say, "Shall we take our Elevenses?"...

I note the melodious passage of 11 am, where my many many clocks chime and cuckoo in my house.

I'm thinking the multi-orificed alien murderous anti-hero would have given it away. Your attempt to categorize my art satisfies my narcissistic need f...
December 03, 2022 at 15:54
I've obviously struck a nerve with you, which has outed you as a previously closeted scifier (a derogatory term I'd like to think I just coined). I us...
December 03, 2022 at 15:13
Yes, but this is a misstatement by Musk, and intentionally so. It is a misuse of rhetoric in order to sustain his unsustainable position he is a free ...
