The unfortunate part is that she died some years ago, but the fortunate part is that we can now marry. I was thinking of a winter wedding, when it's r...
I am an evil genius. There are few bad things that ever happened that I didn't have a hand in, either as the director of the evil or at least having a...
Meh, you miss the point. Kant says nothing of reality (noumena) except that it can't be known. Space is a precondition of understanding, but he says n...
And in the South, we say "shut off the TV" and "shut off the lights," which could also be corrupted into "shut the lights." I would occasionally hear ...
The validity of statistics is ultimately proved by the occurrence of the empirical event it references. Certain empirical events occur with apparent m...
It's entirely unclear how the non-physical mind obtains information while embodied, so the decay of the body doesn't bring on new problems. My guess i...

Is the moral of the story that one ought not joke about murder or is it that prosecutors ought not prosecute those joking about murder? I think future...
Inductive logic: Every crow ever seen is black. Joe has a crow. Joe's crow is probably black. Deductive logic: Every crow is black. Joe has a crow. Jo...
Your concern is over judicial abuse, where if the judge is permitted to give up toten years, then it's likely he will. The attempted resolution of tha...
I agree that is the problem. You have a prosecutor vested with significant power, and it looks to be abused in this situation. I would assume that Car...
We need a chatroom. I have things I need to say in real time, not in the form of posts to sit there waiting to be heard, but things that need to be he...
You're harping on the wrong thing here. For all misdemeanors, you can be imprisoned for up to a year, which means theoretically someone could go off f...
Surely though you recognize where induction ends and speculation begins. Rational thought, even when not limited to formal deduction, is relied upon n...
Have you found an update on this? It was a 2013 arrest. Has he ever been indicted and is the case pending? I couldn't really find any current activity...
I'd submit that not only are the conclusions under Inductive and Abductive invalid, but that the chart defining inductive and abductive is invalid. Th...
Sounds like you do give a fuck. America remains the country where immigrants want to come for a better life, despite very clear declarations they are ...
It's just a boring routine, arguing about whether the disparity among various races is caused by government imposed limitations, cultural problems wit...

You describe your angst in terms of lonliness, offering the implied solution that meaning is derived through relationships with other people, perhaps ...
To be fair, I can only say I like your eye because you only provided me a picture of one of them. You might be like one of those dogs that has differe...
A car story: The side blinker assembly popped out of my car. Maybe I ran up against something. I don't know. A few weeks later a kid ran into the side...
You act as if your assertions have some firmer basis than mine. But let's go through these. 1. What is the measurement of Sam's vehicle purchase. How ...
If the seller has a relator, they'll handle the paperwork for you. Of course, you're going to have to do the negotiations yourself. It sounds like wha...

Any standard is going to be arbitrary. What I'll say is that Sam's car purchase will have no measurable impact on anyone. I do think the conversation ...
