Not pop psychology, but perhaps actual psychology. If it is the case that religious based reasoning does not dictate an evil propensity yet the empiri...

So, I caught a glimpse of an elusive pixie this morning and snapped a picture quickly before she left. /uploads/resized/files/al/jpzt434v9fkcv4ei.jpg ...

I'm told yes.

We gave them the chickens because the foxes kept getting to ours. We're going to re-fortify our coop and get more. /uploads/resized/files/f0/j8blmo5bv...

My floppy eared dog visits the neighbor's pigs every now and then. I'm going to see if my wife has a pig pic I can upload

If you have located someone willing to argue the strawman, defeating them only proves you've found the weakest form of the argument to defeat. It does...

I went through a bread making phase a while ago and you guys are acting like it's a new thing, but I was way ahead of all of you chef wise. I'm into l...

It's really not. It's like pointing out that governments can do evil things and thinking that only anarchists remain comfortable because they swore of...

We might disagree as to what we think is owed the Japanese.

I think plenty are fired on the basis of faith, but my point was to push back on the idea that faith based beliefs are particularly dangerous by compa...

McCarthyism was just our rejection of communists, where we removed them from our society and hoarded them into philosophy forums where the last of the...

I say just do whatever you want and then say "bygones" and get pissed if they can't let it go.
May 06, 2025 at 20:30
Is there a way to download the files here? I ask because I'd like to dump them into AI and have it do an evaluation of each of us, breaking us down in...

What is meant by Christian faith as being a virtue I suppose is a commitment to the truth of the teachings of Jesus Christ, which might just be a stat...

It's not in Atlanta. It's in in the Sea of Reeds (like right smack dab in the middle of it) in the 1920s, hovering to the right of Moses' forehead, mi...

Those pigs appear to be in a dungeon. Whatever did they do to earn that?

Did it have a "5" on it? If it did, I think I know where it is.

Do you know which hand he had? It's important to me because I'm super into hands, which you might have noticed from my prior postings, dealing largely...

I read he only had 6 teeth when he died.

I looked this book up, at first thinking it was an AI created cover, although the background looked legit, so I wasn't sure. One review said it really...

I wouldn't clasify faith as a virtue. I would classify it as an integrity toward maintaining the virtues and trusting that adherence to the virtues wi...

But if you were called scurrilous, then they were critical of you, not them, which means this guy not only dissed you, but you got dissed by your othe...

Pig?
May 05, 2025 at 02:07
I disagree to the extent you're suggesting that a harmful statement that serves no purpose but to harm is acceptable as long as it's true. If it is sp...

Immoral behavior is never justified, whether driven by a faith in God or otherwise. Let's not specially plead concern here, as if it's more common tha...

It would seem that if we're trying to figure out what "faith" means, we should at least look at how the faithful use it. Consider: https://www.myjewis...

A flying bicycle would be absurdly anachronistic in the roaring 20s Egyptian exodus setting I've laid out. I'd like for the newly emancipated to settl...

That's Steve, a guy who hitched a ride from the pub, not realizing he was being made part of a fleeing people's historic exodus. He would spend the ne...

Why that's Chaim Pingie, the sweet but sometimes mischievous shtetl penguin.

In the last picture, I do believe Moses bears a striking resemblance to you. Is it possible that you are Moshe Rabbeinu?
May 03, 2025 at 19:37
And finally, I asked for this obvious modification that I knew you guys wanted: " Now again, but instead of hands have them wearing those big foam #1 ...

Good catch. Not enough arms. I fixed it. /uploads/resized/files/0e/hpogx67r5o89eq6m.png

Perhaps avian, as in related to birds, but not aviary, as in a large cage for birds.

They both are volucrine.

I know what you mean. I get Flock of Seagulls and the Byrds mixed up. https://youtu.be/iIpfWORQWhU?si=vJPc12jG8TlX56qt https://youtu.be/W4ga_M5Zdn4?si...

But holy days aren't really known as gift giving days other than Christmas. Most holidays you just have to remember something important and pretend to...

If every day is a holy day, then what do we call holidays?

So you're saying that you befriended Clarky in order to bring more light into the world? Was that the intent going in, or was that just an added bonus...

But "one small candle" might be a metaphor, in which case complaining about the absence of an actual candle might be an example of cursing the darknes...
April 30, 2025 at 19:45
It's better to light one small light than to curse the darkness.
April 30, 2025 at 16:09
That's a problem I'd like to have to deal with I guess.
April 28, 2025 at 14:21
You can choose the genre. That one was "psychedelic folk," which I guess is like the Dead or something.

Got a new app that allows me to write lyrics and it sings them and puts it to music. My first effort. Let me know your thoughts./uploads/files/on/qbmy...

The response seemed to belie his prefatory "Pretty certain I don't give a fuck about the whole gender sex..." What followed, even if dubious, was from...

Sure, but when a democracy fucks up, we say, "that wasn't very democratic now, was it?" When a dictatorship fucks up, we say, "that was pretty dictato...

Speaking of football, I consider your theory to be like a football bat. No doubt that the purpose of democracy is to reduce the threat of dictatorship...

Thanks for the suggestion, but just wish the proposition came from someone more interesting than an aging online man.
