Do you have evidence though that starvation is most prevalent in capitalistic countries?

It resolves the problem because it declares an authority for a prescriptive language system for a utilitarian purpose. If you want to dispense with th...

Legal definitions are easy to come by. It's whatever the legislature and judges say it is.

This is a good point, pointing out that it's not just the metaphysical existence of an underlying concept that is being denied, but "concept" is being...

Wherever it's from, it seems an illogical jump from treating behavior as an objective means of assessing meaning to declaring behavior as the speaker'...

Not malice, just motive, but in any event irrelevant. We can substitute cups for religion in this debate is my point, which would be an easy way to av...

Assuming even worse, that religion is that which only the stupidest morons believe in, the OP's concern is resolved: The word has meaning.

This is an unnecessarily excessive extrapolation of the meaning is use concept. The concept is a self contained linguistic theory offering a descripti...

I thought it an odd post by you because the riddle of "what is a religion" is no more a curiosity than "what is X," meaning religion doesn’t pose a sp...

I can't believe they would stay on and that the cat wouldn't chew them off.

This suits me better. An upstanding citizen.

Here's the sad story of the diaphragm: https://medium.com/the-establishment/the-rise-and-fall-of-the-diaphragm-6c067d47f8dd

Does anyone actually use diaphragms anymore? Has anyone actually seen one?

Bitter man talk. Very unbecoming. Am I right ladies?

It's more of a trunk than a nose.

Causes always lead to events if we accept that every event has a cause, which is a basic metaphysical assumption. What you have identified isn't a met...

This seems more of a focus on the physics question of what causation is as opposed to the philosophical issues related to causation. The philosophical...

My name during this transitional period is Honey-Ovaria. It's a lovely name I think and it identifies my sugary coated eggs awaiting in my womb for fe...

It's sort of weird no one is asking me stupid questions and making lame jokes to me like guys are supposed to do to hot people like me. This whole bei...

Then we must assume the same for housing here on earth and assume that homelessness is God's will.

I hadn't realized the significance of my avatar to you, but you make a touching argument that homage ought be paid to this icon of the dying breed of ...

Better?

Know what game you play with wombat shit dice? Brace for this one, it's a good one.... Craps. And the drumroll...

The rooster came first, as males often do, which fertilized the egg, which was then laid, which was then sat upon by the hen, which resulted in a hot ...

In my wombat research I learned that they, along with a number of other Australian marsupials, have fur that glows under ultraviolet light. This trait...

I'll PM you the answers daily, fucking up whatever minimal joy you might have had playing. Not sure why, but I just texted my brother the answer as we...

Ain't no thing but a chicken wing.

Wait! SPOILER ALERT! Don't read the above post if you don't want the Wordle answer. These posts might be out of order. My bad.

For those who play Wordle, the daily word guessing game, today's answer is EPOXY. You can enter this in on the first guess and be declared a genius.

Ain't no fun in a truly broken heart.

It's just not really responsive to what I was saying. @"jamalrob" offered a perspective that I generally agreed with, which is that the perspective of...

The reference was to the ideal, not the reality.

Couldn't help yourself:

Yawn.

Reminds me of one of my many bad romances, based upon the notion that one of us is to be up above it and the other is permitted to be down in it. That...

Why do you leave out Russians from the list? The distinction is less about people than governments.

A better plan is to castrate the Ukrainians, eliminating any threat they might pose, as there's no greater strength than weakness. Perhaps destroy all...

Sure, and we certainly didn't need to storm Normandy to end the Japanese threat, so why were we there? We could have sat on our atom bombs safe and se...

Sometimes history repeats itself. Russia didn't attack a NATO country for very good reason. Being in NATO offers the protection of Russia not attackin...

WWII offers a counterexample of that. The assumption that appeasement will eventually satisfy an appetite is a bad one. But more importantly, NATO has...

The competition between the two nations was created by both. Whether it be the space program, the military, the Olympic athletes, the arts, the scienc...

I had a schnauzer that bit everyone but me. People would ask if he bit, and I'd say "he'll bite the shit out of you, " but they'd pet him anyway and g...

I heard that spiders created the world wide web. And the drumroll....

You left out the rest of the scale: Fucktard (10-15), Piece of Shit (5-10), and Ass-hat (0-5). I'm an Ass-hat but close to Piece of Shit.

Usually 3 to 5 days per move is the time control, but most move a few times a day. It's the online version of postal chess, if you're old enough to re...

Amazon delivered me my tartan sleeping hat with a big white ball atop. It's going to get into the 60s tonight, so I'll need it. Just putting it on mak...

That's how my cat drinks sometimes.
