I'm open to understanding this, but I really don't follow what's being proposed. If a "constituent" is a part, it is distinct from other parts, which ...
No one has argued that. What I'm arguing is that the approach of the OP is not naive (direct) realism. It sounds Kantian to me. Per the OP and subsequ...
I don't take this to be direct realism/naive realism. It implicates the noumenal and doesn't correlate it to the phenomenal. If you allow that the act...
What do you mean by "the same world"? This implies the flower is the same to me and the bee, but you've said otherwise. The question then is to descri...
Only if you define knowing what a thing is as that which you can successfully interact with do you avoid the problem that bees perceive objects differ...
Wow, my insolence really has come back and bitten me on the ass in a bad way. All I can say is that you're right to be this way, and I can just hope y...
I've got chicken in the crock pot for dinner. I bought 50 pounds of legs and thighs for 98 cents per pound online. I got some sort of red lime tasting...
Made chocolate pancakes, thick cut bacon, fresh eggs from the coop with Swiss cheese, all with real maple syrup and then fought off the pesky cat who ...
I agree that "creepy" is vague, but it is a helpful adjective. Consider the following sentence and substitute the following adjectives in: The _______...
It was an incredibly weak case for the state. He fired after being fired upon, again after someone hit him to the ground and was taking his gun, again...
If we're going to vote on how we're going to vote, in order to be consistent, we need to vote on how we're going to vote on how we're going to vote. I...
Thinking more about this, I'm not sure my scale will work because it doesn't consistently quantify bad to good in an increasing way, it assumes charac...
I'd propose this rating system. It's the one we use here at work: 1 - I enjoyed it. 2 - That was fun. I liked the character development of Sara. 3 - T...
I think a Christmas theme would be good. I'm going to write about my dead drunk father who used to dress in a reindeer suit but he died during Christm...
Alright, I've come up with another way. Everyone sends in their votes by a Word document and password protects them. After the deadline, we hold a vot...
The only advantage of sending it via Word document is to save Baden from being impacted from knowing everyone's vote before he votes, but either way i...
Bypassing our limited technology, I'd suggest: Each person votes for his 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place stories, with each #1 getting 3 points, #2 getting 2 ...
Meaning is what we discover when we look. Days pass and the years vanish, and we walk sightless among miracles. I don't take credit for that last sent...
If I were German, I think I'd want to specialize in the study of Peruvian mammaries as well. Alas, though, my ancestry is more Eastern European, and s...
You know much about volcanic formation, and for sharing, I thank you. I have visited out West and seen many a formation, including a huge crater hole ...
I had a love child with Mrs. Coepcke. We named the child Versillimme, as that was the pasta we ate from one another's belly as we wasted away the afte...
A grammar question. If Julia Child and her husband were going to come to your home for dinner, would you say "The Childs are coming for dinner," or wo...
Damn you! You'll leave me with no kosher for passover coke with your childish experiments and I'll have to go without. You treat me as the Pharaoh did...
I was thinking about Little House on the Prairie, another show I never watched. BTW, this breaks my record for the most times I've written the word "p...
I never watched the Waltons. They seemed like a boring group of folks out on a prairie or something. My guess is that they were good parents in the se...
I'll just add in for whatever it's worth that there are distinctions from jurisdiction to jurisdiction within the states (under US law) and difference...
My question wasn't so much how much parenting matters (which I think you understate), but what traits are most important for success and ought be prom...
Had you had kids, would you have followed your reasoning and invested primarily in their socialization rather than in their intellectual education? I ...
I've been toying with some ideas for my next story. Maybe I'll write about a dead baby with no feet. That's sadder than a dead baby with no shoes. "Ba...
You want a way to re-read your own posts without the distraction of other people's replies so that you can admire your own handiwork without having to...
/uploads/resized/files/an/dll85k83azatb6ec.png I was typing a message and I hit the wrong button or something, and then all this code stuff came onto ...
It's all a question of degree. All nations imprison people. Removing me from my loved ones, eliminating my ability to contribute anything to the world...
I tried it, but substituted kielbasa sausage for the cabbage, pinto beans for the beets, and left out the radicchio because they didn't have any at th...
Your perspective on pig ownership might be slightly romanticized. I would take the next few weeks rethinking your pig infatuation, perhaps redirecting...
