This is much more accurate than you can imagine. I'm really working on it. It can be entertaining and even occasionally endearing, but it's generally ...

Consider this sentence however: "Yesterday the Iraqquake destroyed the final few buildings not otherwise destroyed in Operation Desert Storm." Maybe I...

My old xylophone is my exxylophone. You'll note that the two Xs are distinctly pronouncable. The first sounds like "eks" and the second like "z." If I...

You're most certainly welcome. It is due time such a thread were started. It seems, though, that I have done so much for so many, I often have difficu...

I think double letter X is the only combination that doesn't exxist. Exxon doesn't count because it's a proper name. There is the compound word boxxyl...

If you could step away from your "Republicans are racists" mantra, you might see that Democratic policies have been no better than Republican ones in ...

Naziism is a rare double "i" word. Skiing is another. Can you think of any more?

The reason you don't recall it is because you don't have any real grasp of US history. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was fillibustered and opposed most...

Once in high school, I had a mouth full of water, and at an opportune time, I nonchalantly let it seep out of my mouth onto my shirt and onto the floo...

Clearly. So why say it?
May 02, 2017 at 00:38
If a sorry state of affairs arises in both homogenous and non- homogenous groups (i.e. A & -A), then it must be that sorriness just describes the huma...

Meh. You're trolling sort of, like challenging me to tell you what you assume I don't want to say, like I care or something.
May 02, 2017 at 00:05
For those who subscribe to such theories, it is white males. Obviously there are strict laws forbidding racial discrimination, so it exists to a far l...

Pick whatever country you'd like, and I'll find you the race, class, tribe or whatever that is the preferred group and I'll find you the oppressed gro...

Tough crowd.

Then why don't you wear one?

/uploads/resized/files/80/effw5ix0uo4aundt.jpg As to the question of whether the Dutch during colonial times wore stupid hats, the answer is apparent:
May 01, 2017 at 19:18
Of course. If it hadn't been, the US would be an Indian nation. The first group to come over after the original pilgrims were the Dutch, which explain...

Actually, I've discussed this previously. We lie packed in a circle so that all our noses touch as we sleep. I like to be on top, nuzzling in. We all ...

But doesn't this just clarify the general objection to his posts: nobody is completely sure what he means.
April 30, 2017 at 14:45
Thank you for the clarification. I am now to understand RL's distinction between simplicity in English and simplicity in French. The latter being more...
April 29, 2017 at 11:45
Nope. Even the online Collins dictionary indicates "simpicitude" isn't a word. https://www.collinsdictionary.com/us/spellcheck/english?q=simplicitude

I'll weigh in here as a third moderator. I can tell you that none of this has been discussed beforehand and we're not all so cozy with one another tha...

Nope, Trump

I have really wild looking hair and orange skin.

You have eye shadow on or something.

Exactly where is his right hand?

My first job was bussing tables at a Chinese restaurant for $3 per hour. Minimum wage was $3.35, but I was underage and didn't pay taxes. The funniest...

The problem is that I am even more progressive than you, and find the definition of "finger" a product of generalized oppression and so I hold to mean...

What pray tell would your lady do to you with her convulsing fingers? Would she drum about your manhood or do something far more revolting? What sorts...
April 25, 2017 at 12:31
I assumed that convulsing fingers were something the ladies would prefer, but for those in the know, please spare me the details of what a man would d...

You must find yourself a lucky lady.

My mind is changed based upon that single sentence.

Speak not the language of my oppressor.
April 24, 2017 at 19:08
The past participle of "to fall" is "fallen" not "fell."

Western culture is what you miss when you're far from home.

Typically I like to remain behind the scenes and allow others to have the limelight, but my efforts were so obvious and heroic in this instance that I...

I'm running under the Scottish Independence Party, wearing full Braveheart regalia, backless skirt and all.

If I provided everyone with a picture, gave them 2 minutes to look at it, and then asked questions about what appeared on the picture, I'd assume the ...

Once at trial, I called a witness who had suffered severe seizures throughout his life and he was clearly suffering from brain damage. When asked to r...

Then aphantasia is not being used to address the p-zombie debate contrary to the name of this thread, but is only being cited as evidence of the signi...

This was the comment I was referring to: If all you're saying is that there are great variations in phenomenological experience, I do think that's an ...

I wouldn't expect them to behave the same, and in practice, no computer can make it past a few minutes under a Turing Test. If you're asking hypotheti...
April 18, 2017 at 15:44
I don't know if I followed all of your questions. The questions all seem to relate to mind/body interaction. I would expect that two people with very ...
April 18, 2017 at 13:09
This is really an over-read of what is occurring. Aphantasiacs most certainly can experience things. They just don't experience them in a visual way. ...
April 18, 2017 at 12:51
I'm unimpressed by this example. There's a world of difference between having limited internal experience and entirely lacking the ability to experien...
