Studies are on both sides of this issue. Some say eating breakfast helps weight loss, others the opposite. https://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyl...

My dog use to scratch the door to go outside, i suppose because he thought that might open it. He quickly learned he could scratch it once, and I'd co...

Interesting. I read the opposite in a book by Oliver Sacks a while ago. His examples didn't include groups of deaf children interacting but children t...

I've read otherwise, particularly with deaf children who aren't taught language but form their own hand signals. Their self created language is far in...

But do you think strong oratory skills are at all related to mastery of grammar and vocabulary? I'd think for some yes, but then I think of the persua...

We start though with the assumption that within communities there is grammatical consistency which is our basis for claiming equality among dialects. ...

Very well, picking up where we left off. If all dialects are on equal footing with regard to describing the world, with specific prescriptive rules ha...

According to https://www.historyhit.com/why-are-so-many-english-words-latin-based/, 60% of English words are Latin based, making it closer to a Romanc...

Killing a dog isn't murder actually. It's frowned upon, but not murder. I tripped over Fred and fell onto him, sort of smashing him. He sleeps in the ...

I used to have armies in Ural when I played Risk, so I'm pretty familiar with the Uralic language group as well.

They are both part of the Uralic language family. Please, for the love of god, learn your linguistic family trees.

I understand how you might feel about destroying something so efficient, but I still find it far less difficult personally to smash a fly than a dog.

My guess is a hash brick dropped by the local cartel. Smoke it and see what happens.

The latter. I'm drawing a distinction as to what happened. It's not as if western Europe and eastern Europe are both invaders into Ukraine fighting ov...

As I was leaving my house to embark upon my arduous pilgrimage to the Tootsie Roll factory, my trout arrived with a nymph he captured. I am taking her...

I don't know why occupation or displacement is necessary for full control. The USSR controlled its member states. This is a very one sided view. Can I...

The kid in the back of class with the never ending disruptive comments, he went on to being a profoundly influential website philosopher.

This neighbor kid i knew used to eat white dog shit when he was really little. He went on to being a fucked up older kid.

Check the package. Sounds like you bought grapes or maybe plums.

After you finish, you should eat the same thing for dessert by substituting the yogurt with rocky road ice cream.

Don't talk about Georgia. You know nothing about my ancestral lands and what sorts of spiders we may or may not have. I control my mosquitos with trou...

Does anyone live under the illusion that Russia was not going to eventually invade Ukraine regardless of NATO expansion into other nations? Are we to ...

I bet if the Russians had a really hot Summer, things would be worse there. Ergo, ceteris paribus, the hotter the worser.

There seems a correlation between cold and happy, as in the coldest nations are the happiest, but I'd have thought the opposite. The carribean islands...

Again, I've not argued words have no meaning. I've argued words need no referent for meaning, and I've not conflated reference for usage. The bottom l...

He makes no claim to word meanings being dependent upon reference. He's talking about words lacking meaning outside of usage or context. That is, "Mos...

An atheist would claim that God is a fictional character in the Bible. They wouldn't deny he existed as that fictional character. If they did, I think...

Saying its only referent is its subjective meaning is denying it has a referent. The referent to "Donald Trump" is Donald Trump. See how you have a wo...

By America, I mean the USA, and the USA never had a king.

You've just argued that a referent must exist for there to be meaning. What does "intelligently" refer to?

I've not argued words have no meaning. I've argued they need not point to anything to have that meaning. The word "the" means something, but there is ...

Every part of speech has a referent? What about articles, prepositions, verbs, gerunds, etc? Where is the "the", the "about", the "cooking"?

"I am the king of America" is a meaningful proposition. It has a truth value, and it is false. "King of America" has no referent. "I am the king of Ca...

No, it' is a proposition and it has meaning and it has no referent whatsoever.

Nouns, even proper nouns, needn't have referents to have meaning. "The king of France doesn't exist" is a meaningful proposition despite the non-exist...

So atheism is logical as long as God is fictional ? Isn't that exactly what atheists say?

Honey wheat bread and a white cheddar that I had to grate. . It's all we had. What saved it was the extra thick bacon (like 1/4") and I toasted the br...

No proof for this existence of God is valid.

Those aren't proofs. Those are fallacious arguments. If they were proofs, the matter would be concluded.

I have a spoiler alert guys for those who missed Philosophy 101, no proof for the existence of God succeeds, including this one, which appears to sugg...

From this, why doesn't this follow: If theism has no way of proving how the universe came into being, there is one possible explanation left.

My thoughts: Twilight Zone. zombie-ish. guilt laden.

I made bacon, egg, and cheese sammiches this morning on my griddle. The secret ingredient was the Cajun seasoning. My expertise is in making breakfast...

3rd What about the denial of Bigfoot, ghosts, or aliens? Can one logically deny those?

My wife got one of those sleeping masks so that her sleeping wouldn't interfere with my late night internet surfing. That would solve your main proble...

That was my condition before falling asleep.

I spend most nights sleeping in a trailer among circus carnies, and you might imagine there could be fates worse than death.

Helpful advice, thank you, but the ankles to ears position, while adding safety from neck fracture, creates other certain vulnerabilities.

Does anyone here sleep in a sleeping hat? I've been thinking about adding one to my sleep attire, but I wanted feedback before I made the plunge. I fl...
