THE WAR IS OVER!! https://youtu.be/gqsT4xnKZPg Return to work.

There are two directions one can use to decipher the world. We can begin at the beginning and extrapolate forward or we can begin at the end and extra...

You're reporting on either your personal norm or what you perceive as a cultural norm, but what you say isn't universally accepted. Women and men spea...

Yeah, you heard the entire piece but not in one setting, so it's different if you heard it in one setting. It's probably an irrelevant distinction, bu...

My son ate all the eggs and yogurt last night and I woke up to nothing for breakfast other than some sausage links and cheese. I'm at a loss for what ...

Yeah, the caste system creates far more injustices than just inequitable coronavirus treatment.

I don't follow the comment about the unavailability of therapy for sex related issues. Maybe you just had the wrong therapist.
May 08, 2020 at 12:01
It's always hard to know. There was at a class at my university that others told me about that explored the meaning of pornography in society, which r...

When you talk this way, I just want to hold you delicately against my bosom, wipe your tender tears with my tongue, and slowly hate fuck your bowels u...

I totally know this was intended for me.
May 08, 2020 at 02:53
You spend an inordinate amount of time focusing on style. The old saying that it's not what you say but how you say it is ultimately wrong. It's what ...

Sex is an interesting thing. When I was married, it was frequent and normal I suppose, and then I got divorced and all of a sudden I was thrown back i...

If you're asking whether I have the sense of humor of a 15 year old boy all these decades later, yes, yes I do.

It's to maximize happiness, not to minimize suffering.

Anyway, at the barber now. Been a long time since a haircut, but they're opened back up finally. Gonna ask that they use dirty scissors to help build ...

That whole area is nice. It's really rainy, but really green. I prefer the mountains of the northwest, until winter.
May 06, 2020 at 20:25
I see hyperbole as just a way to make a point and not so much as an effort to mischaracterize and mislead.

Vancouver, such a lovely city.
May 06, 2020 at 17:41
I didn't actually generalize the terrified comment to all who are concerned about the virus, but only stated it applied to the guy in my office. But r...
May 06, 2020 at 17:40
But to say this already assumes a more lackadaisical attitude towards the virus. If this were the black plague killing everyone in its path, then I th...

I maintain social distancing in public, and I abide by all the rules, but certainly not above and beyond and maybe I ignore the spirit of them. I full...
May 06, 2020 at 15:53
No, statistical evidence is abundantly clear that the primary threats are to the elderly and those with compromised immune systems. I'm not around tho...
May 06, 2020 at 14:57
It works both ways I'd think. The only way you can get it publicly is through your mucus membranes (mouth, nose, and eyes). If you cover those, you ca...

I'd like to see a psychological profile study of those who take this coronavirus threat very seriously versus those who don't. It's actually pretty fa...

I saw this lady driving her car wearing a mask and texting. I think the danger of texting and driving exceeded the danger of my sneeze making it from ...

I'd be fine, but I'll concede most would find it intolerable.

I think you start with the belief that all government is corrupt and dishonest and you institute rules that check its power. You water down everyone's...
May 06, 2020 at 12:06
Why is it obvious to you that there'd be less happiness with 5% dead and 95% employment as opposed to 1% dead and 50% employment. Sounds like a value ...
May 06, 2020 at 03:26
Only every other table was used. The staff wore masks. It was pretty much empty other than my table and maybe a couple more people. The gym class spac...

Today I ate at a restaraunt and went to the gym. There are still social distancing rules in effect. Georgia's numbers are showing a steady decline in ...

If we take as a given that event X arose without a cause, then it would necessarily follow that event X arose from nothing, right?
May 05, 2020 at 13:45
Has your view changed over the course of this thread? You seemed to go from a true disbeliever in causation to an agnostic.
May 05, 2020 at 10:37
This is a straw man. @"frank" specially presented a definition of God that he was working under, but you changed it so that you could offer this criti...
May 05, 2020 at 10:30
Sure. You claimed that those who demanded every event have a cause were holding such antiquated views because their religion required it, despite curr...

Speaking of cool hats, this is my family photo from last Thanksgiving. I'm the one on the right:/uploads/files/17/7y9xlt4mr6zvnol9.jpg
May 05, 2020 at 02:56
Fair.
May 05, 2020 at 01:07
You told me your cat stared off oddly and then its legs began running in place. You laughed, and it died at your feet. My stroke/sociopath theory is a...
May 05, 2020 at 00:19
You don't need to wait until you die for things to suck. It sounds like you're young enough to have in store the death of some close relatives and fri...

Sounds like she had a seizure and you're a sociopath.

You don't have to wear a mask as far as I know. They are separating the bags by a greater distance is what I'm told. I'd also guess attendance will be...

I'd also like to add that the final decision was fully withheld until he was given a chance to explain, apologize, or say whatever he needed to say, a...

My gym just reopened, so kickboxing begins again today. They are going to spread out the bags to provide more distance between people. The jujitsu cla...

There's nothing sacred about the MAGA hat I don't own.

Couldn't understand a lick of what the Aussie was trying to say. Needed subtitles. It reminded me of this song. Don't know why, but it's not the sort ...
May 03, 2020 at 03:29
I vividly distinguish the sacred from the profane.
May 03, 2020 at 03:22
Not really. You're referenced inefficiencies that could result in fewer jobs if eliminated. The corporate America I worked for measured every move unt...

I've never thought of quamtum indeterminacy as evidence of spontaneous creation. It's an epistemological claim of what we can determine or know, as op...

Because people want bullshit products, so bullshit workers make sure that bullshit gets on the bullshit shelves. If it were up to me, all that bullshi...

Worse than a bullshit job is no job. Worse than no job is no shoes. Worse than no shoes is no feet. Having no feet is just about the worst.
