I want you to roll up on your bicycle, short sleeve button down shirt, black tie, and try to convert me. And, no, the manbag doesn't go with the get u...

In celebration of the 10th anniversary, I have committed myself to having sex with 10 supermodels. Slow going so far, but I won't let you guys down.

I was soliciting a conversion.

I see. A word is but letters, with its meaning socially dictated, ascribed by its users. So, the chair, an empty symbol, like letters, given meaning b...

Those bold words confuse me. If I have black coffee, and I describe it as not having milk or if I describe it as not having cream, the same liquid is ...

Is there a tai chi system that incorporates violence? I just think it would be bad ass to do those slow hand movements to beat someone senseless, like...

I was more thinking about it in terms of what it means, not what is, so I eliminated the referent. Coffee-without-cream-where-there-was -cream-to excl...

No score and I agree. It's the universal introductory clause, saying literally nothing and being no different than if it weren't there, it could be us...

Are we all pretending it doesn't say happoy so as to not embarrass the cake maker?

Rabbi Kushner is a Conservative (capital C) rabbi, not an Orthodox one, making his views more liberal and less mystical. It's like asking what the Chr...

Good people can do bad things, and good people can become bad people. People aren't born evil and bad people can return to goodness. None of this sugg...

I do think you wish to convert the religious to a very different way of thinking, specifically from a revealed morality to a naturalistic one. The for...

All of that is cultural appropriation of the Spanish empanada. @"javi2541997", are you going to put up with that? /uploads/resized/files/9o/60loeyxl5q...

This is garbled to me. The word "invokes" is confusing. Does it mean entail, imply, reminds me of, or what? I don't know what it means for two terms t...

That's a bowl full of leeches. Good lord, throw that shit back in the creek. I'm familiar with Colemans. I'm also a fan of Ingehoffer.

I thought the pickled beets and sauerkraut would be an interesting German twist with the lamb. I should have come up with a mustard sauce to complete ...
October 16, 2025 at 12:23
Lamb is less common in the US than in Europe. The beef, chicken, and pork selections are far greater, at least where I live. A good amount of the lamb...

Your use of "my" in that sentence makes your statement irrelevant. If you change it to "the," you'd be wrong. If you argue that an act is selfish if i...
