You cut the acorn squash in half, clean the guts, put on broiler pan, pour maple syrup in the cavity, dust with nutmeg, bake over an hour until soft, ...

I grow decorative gourds and make bird houses of them. Once home to a songbird, I remove them, boil them whole, and enjoy them as a stew, green curry,...

McKinley was killed and turned into Danali and then Trump resurrected him.

I just wrote what I consider a most beautiful work of art. It argued that the condominium covenants did not bind the association to protect against wa...

I don't live under any illusions. Anti-semitism, racism, bigotry, various brands of phobias exist all too frequently, and we remain suspicious of thos...

I find beauty in the diversity of personalities, including those so boring they find beauty in blueprints.
September 19, 2025 at 15:42
But of course, and while I appreciate you have other things you'd like to do, you might want to listen to Kirk a bit (if you haven't) to really see wh...

That's right, there was some ambiguity there. My position was that language is any form of communication and that all forms of communication are repre...

This is the real reason why Kimmel should have been canceled: /uploads/resized/files/fe/r1mbg0ci5mkixhwk.jpg

It's like if the police say they're going to arrest you if you wear red shoes when it's not illegal to wear red shoes, you probably won't wear red sho...

It seems like there was a time when the press loved to file lawsuits and take the government on. Maybe that got them street cred and made the money in...

As an aside, there was a time when late night talk shows were supposed to be funny. Now they've turned political. I think that's the case at least. I ...

What troubles me most about the Kimmel suspension is the network's immediate capitulation to the government regulators, showing no sense of resilience...
September 18, 2025 at 15:20
Possibly, but the bigger point being advanced here seems to be that the term "hate speech" is a lab created neologism designed for the purpose of deni...
September 18, 2025 at 15:07
No, really I wasn't. I was just maintaining my view of the infinite worth of all people, even those who might deny it. Just because the assessment mig...

What scientific study does he cite for this empirical claim? If my dog goes and gets a ball when I say "go get your ball," even new balls not previous...

Anti-oxidants failed to reduce free radicals in human neurons and had no effect on Alzheimers, MS, Parkinson's or anything really, so there's no scien...
September 18, 2025 at 02:49
Well, it wouldn't affect you because there'd be no you to affect, so there's that. While I know you're being sarcastic, I will say that your not being...

It's because men and women are different beyond simple anatomical differences.
September 17, 2025 at 19:57
Hate I suppose is in the eye of the beholder, to a point. I mean "I hate you" is pretty clear, and you could substitute "you" for all sorts of ethnici...
September 17, 2025 at 19:53
So if I seperate out propositions from sentences, where a proposition is knowledge of an event (e.g. the cat is on the mat) and a sentence is the ling...

Pinker's (and Fodor's) theory of mentalese, which is that there is a primordial language pre-existing the creation of utterances or symbols is controv...

That's what you're best at, so don't not do that.
September 17, 2025 at 01:22
So instead of saying "Perhaps I'll eat an apple," you say "Happenstance I'll eat an apple"? While that mayhap convey the same thought, it's not how Go...

The copula (to be) is often ommitted in present tense biblical Hebrew, leading to English translations that hold to that form, as in, "The Lord my she...
September 16, 2025 at 18:40
I do like that because it sets up for the archaic present tense subjunctive "No one would think English be your second language." I'm not sure whether...
September 16, 2025 at 18:17
No, just a person doing a bad thing, which was less the laughing to yourself than the reposting of the video. Laughing at a guy paid to patrol the str...
September 16, 2025 at 14:37
My immediate thought was to suggest "perchance." No one would think English your second language if you did that. Other words I found you might want t...

My view of art is that it is a form of language, and the expression through painting is just another way of speaking, writing, or grunting. The above ...
September 15, 2025 at 20:56
But there are those who live and die in anonymity and some live even less than a day, and I'd still be as committed to their significance. This just m...

By the way, did anyone notice the Pennyhead just under Fred's tongue?

Undeterred by ChatGPT censorship controls, I modified my request slightly to get a picture of a cow that generally met our requirements. I asked it to...

This is, candidly, absurd. Nazis systematically herded 6 million Jews to death camps, gassed them, and set their remains on fire with the aim of bring...

I don't know. The book is a confusing way to look at it, differing from the movie analogy, but it seems just as valid. The movie moves by itself, but ...

You guys have been spared. ChatGPT told me "I can't create violent or gory images like a "bloody cow."
September 12, 2025 at 12:53
The OP would not be at all provocative if it were presented this abstractly, simply asking the question of when violence is permitted and when it is n...

It's not a lecture. All I've said is screamingly obvious.

Yes, let's be very careful not to denigrate our murderous sniper too hastily at the risk of disrespecting his true nature. I take great comfort in kno...

Sure, we'll have to wait and see if a schizophrenic climbed a roof to take down someone who just happened to be politically divisive and who now hides...

I'll go on record with what ought be an obvious sentiment, which is that the capital murderer who assassinated a young father of two from a rooftop wi...

So this lets me know "sports coat" is an American term. It seems Brits say sports jacket. The three buttons strikes me as modern hip, kind of a throwb...
