I renamed my dog from Fred to Fuck. It's a corruption of the spelling my grandma gave him and I like it better. Last week he ate the internet cable an...
Two responses: 1. Why is a document written in my chicken scratch that is truly only decipherable by me "public," if It only conveys information to me...
It's not just interesting similar patterns, but a political statement comparing religious symbols to capitalist ones. You're philosophical when you do...
This is just an empirically incorrect epistimological statement, declaring that the only way to establish knowledge of prior events is through witness...
I'm not saying it's fine or not. I'm just saying he apparently held two different beliefs at two different times and now he holds an incorrect belief ...
1. Why would it be strange to claim Bob had a theory? 2. If George understood Bob's theory, and both of their recollection changed over time, did Bob ...
The exchange of excitement for security seems really reducible to exchanging uncertainty to predictability. If I were a rock star, possibly I'd never ...
I did. I addressed them to "Timeline of Australia or some such shit." She should be getting them soon. You'll notice when she gets them by her happy c...
I used to buy my ex the sappiest cards I could find, and she would get really emotional and cry, like the words were so touching even though written b...
I'm satisfied as saying that if it's sincere, then it's not a game, but that fails under @"TimeLine"'s description because she attempts to impose an o...
Alright, some serious literary criticism: Your story was (1) lame, (2) creepy, and (3) not absurd. It was (1) lame because the first part attempted to...
I disagree. What you're telling us are your expectations in a relationship and the sort of behavior you find appealing and that which you find revolti...
I see it sort of as @"unenlightened" here. You did, intentionally or not, make a provocative statement, namely that your wife feared you. We, not know...
And if you had that illusion, you just would and there'd be nothing you could do about it. My own view is that the concept of free will is incoherent ...
Note to self... I mean, whatevs. Valentines Day is just Valentines day and you can celebrate it with an obligatory box of chocolates or not. If it pis...
That's why I've been in favor of having every post fully vetted through unanimous favorable voting by all mods prior to public posting, including this...
I agree that the unfairness is all manmade and is truly unfair. I'm not trying to suggest the man ought to drive the bus because men have that God giv...
Yeah, but this attacks the hypothetical, which is that the unfair advantages afforded certain people provide them long term benefits of success. The w...
And so what is the pragmatic solution? Do you rise up and give the woman the chance to drive the bus in order to create a better future for better pre...
If you can assume on an island of 2 people that George understands something that Bob does not, regardless of how hard George tries, then you would ha...
The indeterminacy of QM offers nothing in explaining the contradictory nature of free will. Free will asserts both something occurring outside the cau...
Fair. This is a philosophy forum after all. Maybe we should refocus our efforts there. I think @"fdrake" is partially right, but I really don't need t...
I'm not that familiar with protocol at Washington Press Corps events, but it is does seem like the level of comedy might have been a tad inappropriate...
Deductive. You were just unaware of his mom's premises. All people are sexually attracted to either men or women My son is not attracted to women Ther...
Her conclusion is logical, just inaccurate. It is assumed that people are sexual, and if they're not attracted to the opposite sex, it is assumed they...
This is an idiosyncratic idealistic view of romantic relationships that has merit but is not universal. I will acknowledge having had friendships with...
I have a friend who's fearful of his wife's emotional tirades, so he walks on eggshells around her. Why does he tolerate it? Some folks are just fucke...
We can't assume the fear is rational, as it's possible this poster's wife is irrationally intimidated. We really have no evidence of anything here rea...
I guess they're varying degrees of acceptance, with tolerating on one end of the spectrum and embracing on the other with respect somewhere in between...
He's as capable as any of us are. It's all about finding the right person. My bigger point is that whatever his problems, they are his, and not his ex...
I'm not letting you off the hook on this one, not from what I've seen. He's a few well written paragraphs to getting back with you (or at least to get...
I suppose we could be witnessing an attempt to obtain therapy to eliminate prior negative patterns, but it looks like heartache and pining to me, not ...
