Speaking of haikus: "After weeks of watching the roof leak I fixed it tonight by moving a single board" https://terebess.hu/english/haiku/snyder.html

Making sense yet?

You should write about a guy who's writing a story but it keeps changing every time the roof leaks from above onto the ink and the words keep changing...

I make the hottest cottage cheese in the contest. The fiery chilis loosen the bowels while the cheese clogs them up, leaving you perfectly regular.

This is my new theme song. It https://youtu.be/Mr4wWtkyUUcspeaks to me now that I'm a beatnik.

We've really not had a problem with people misquoting others, and if they did, it'd be readily apparent, and there might be instances where you would ...

Cottage cheese is like chili. They take all the old pieces of left over cheese and they make a stew. In a cottage.

I agree. I think of clever, free thinking, and intellectual when I think of beatnik. I think of dirty, lazy, and annoying when I think hippy. Bob Dyla...

You envision a scenario where one believes X is wrong, but some authority tells him otherwise (perhaps a person or writing) and so he over-rules his b...

#2 seems too specific, like it's talking to me directly, as opposed to a universal sort of command.

Did you bring back 10 new commandments?

There's a creative writing contest going on now with a deadline in under a week. You should enter a story about a mad hatter with a harem of hatters w...

I haven't read his works, although I know a considerable amount about him now having skimmed the Wiki article. He's a beat generation writer, and I ha...

My concern about extending the deadline is that I keep adding lines to what I've already got and it will just grow longer and longer with more nonsens...

They invented the chicken? That answers the chicken or egg question.

I'd prefer my bridges be supported by sound engineering principles as opposed to devout prayer.

Well, even more than that. There's a difference between the written law and the actual law. The idea that the Torah (the written law) is the law is si...

On my profile page, it lists me as a subscriber with an option to cancel it. Not sure how a non-subscriber's looks, but maybe it has an option to acti...

I think it's through PayPal.

Did some research, and I'd recommend The Puritan Backroom in Manchester for your chicken tenders needs while in New Hampshire.

My fucked up entry should set the weird bar high enough that everyone else should feel normal.

You'd be surprised.

Or you could handwrite your entry and take a bunch of pictures of your scribbles and then send them in random order to @"Baden". That's what I'd do. A...

Just curious, who all is planning to submit an entry? I want to be sure we have a good turnout and I usually lead a pep rally as these come due.

I particularly enjoy the Cobb Zalad at Zaxby's. I have it with grilled chicken (not fried) tossed in tongue torch sauce and I choose the Mediterranean...

Citing to sources is generally helpful. If you're making empirical claims (for example if you're arguing about gun violence, Covid deaths, global temp...

That was me. There's nothing interesting in defeating the weakest form of a position. If, for instance, millions believe the world were created in 6 d...

That all roads lead to Christ I suppose. Shouldn't be a shocking conclusion based upon:

I didn't make that definition up.

I define an essence as "a property or group of properties of something without which it would not exist or be what it is." So, if the essence of a per...

Now we're debating what the essence of an essence is I suppose.

All of this is religion. Don't let the terminology fool you. The difference in positions only being in how much we wish to admit to our religion. I ac...

It's just plain if, not iff. That moral worth is an essential element of humanity does not mean that all entities with that element be human. That an ...

Can a being without moral worth be human? If not, is that the essence of a human?

My son just had a layover in Amsterdam and the airport was overwhelmed with rats. Apparently, that's a thing in The Netherlands. https://dutchreview.c...

An idea for the next competition would be that we are to write a story about that picture. If we did, your mother wouldn't fare well.

If you're looking for a set of attributes, then, no, we don't have a definition we can resort to in all situations to determine if X goes in the bucke...

I've put something together. My best work ever I do believe.

If these words are interchangeable as you've indicated, then are we just left with our personal preferences of which to use? If yes, isn't greater ins...

Does this not conflate two separate questions: (1) what is a human versus (2) what is it like to be human? I ask because I don't hold that I obtain kn...

Outside of religious claims, where much has been said of the soul. A human being has a human soul, which isn't reducible to a physical attribute. Not ...

But I didn't. I just said it's an important part of what it is to be human, and I wouldn't deny the most intellectually deficient an iota of humanity....

Interesting because in the 70s it was far more common to air your clean laundry to dry, but then everyone started getting electric dryers, and that en...

Or whether they're just airing dirty laundry

Impeller versus agitator, which cleans best? Discuss.

My energy remains boundless and positive as the sun continues to shine on me literally and figuratively, once again positioning me perfectly for victo...

I do see the difference, but I can also say that my leanings are heavily in favor of learning for learning's sake, which should come as no surprise gi...

What do you envision, a chaotic random stew being suddenly jolted into order? /uploads/files/2r/0ubgmhcsv66fa6px.jpg Note this translation is more acc...

Searching for the essence of anything, from what it is to be human to what it is to be a cup is a failed enterprise. The enterprise will also not at a...
