Our empathy typically occurs more naturally towards those most like us. We are kind to our kind. Who our kind are is easily identifiable. They have ou...

This is the Shoutbox. You can't unsay things. Once it leaves your lips, it is as it is.

Hah! I know. Everyone always rags on the Argentinians, but they're not so bad.

Why does Person 1 have a numeral identifier where Person two is spelled out, in lowercase no less? Suppose you were called tee clark? I would never ev...

Have you partaken in cottage cheese laden lasagna or do you just assume this inferiority? If you have experience dining on ricotta's fermented chunky ...

I feel like the world is comprised of the lasagna flexible and the lasagna orthodox. The former an agile and svelte bunch, capable of accepting all of...

The midwest is known for wholesome boringness. According to @"T clark", the south is known for rudderless stupidness. Sorry you're without work. I'd h...

I know just what you mean. I grew up in northeast Atlanta away from those morons on the southside.

Deleware is small enough that it shouldn't be divided into south and north, but you should just say Deleware and that should be sufficient.

My research shows the first instance of ricotta in lasagna was in 14th century southern Italy. I will defer to this tradition solely because if we wer...

When my kids were little, I would make homemade cottage cheese by leaving their milk bottles in the minivan for a few days in the hot sun. It would cu...

Once again, an innocuous conversation between cheese afficionados derailed by a sanctimonious texturalist.

My wife said she thought that substitute was disgusting. I told her this was a hill I was willing to die on. We're still in negotiations, but I'm with...

Maybe grits instead of ricotta and Jimmy Dean sausage. Sort of a breakfast casserole lasagna like you'd get maybe in southern Sicily. The Italians act...

New word I stumbled across. Pronoid, the feeling others are conspiring to help you. The opposite of paranoid. Now there is a better choice of delusion...

Cottage cheese instead of ricotta in lasagna. Thoughts?
February 23, 2025 at 12:25
I'd also add that we look to the rules to determine if there is a violation, and we try to make rules explicit as needed so that we don't have to rely...

A lover of all things Hanover is a philanoverian, which describes every lady out there.

I became an attorney because my math grades sucked and I needed a job.
February 19, 2025 at 15:26
This makes you an anglophilologist in a literal sort of way. A lover of wisdom is a philosopher. One who hates wisdom would be a misosopher. I'm a mis...

I don't find the ChatGpt response persuasive in its identification of distinctions. It seems to argue that Kant considers time a non-relative absolute...
February 18, 2025 at 03:56
Time is a category of the understanding, not a property of the world. The mind shapes objects in space and time. I call this theory transcendental ide...

Metaphor is a way of communicating and understanding. Truth is truth. That you speak and understand through symbols and even fiction is true. What do ...

Nope
February 17, 2025 at 01:34
My use of "feel" was metaphorical. I feel like it means "believe" how i used it. But all is metaphor and poetry, to varying degrees.

I feel like pigs are probably like people. Some good, some bad. Probably they're nice to those who scratch their ears. But, at the end of the day, you...

Trump pisses off the Canadians and so their pigs predictably lash out. Please, please, please, can we just bring an end to these escalations???

To the vegans, vegetarians, and anti-speciests who don't give special privilege to human life, for your inspiration, I give you the Canadian Super Pig...

I drink massive quantities of tea, at least a gallon a day. I don't spill tea. Spilling tea means to provide gossip. I think that's bad form.
February 16, 2025 at 03:17
My two cents worth... The request doesn't seem to be for a debate thread, but for a thread that accepts certain studies as authorative so that you can...
February 16, 2025 at 03:05
Spilling is usually by accident, but should the blood of a pig need be spilled, I stand at the ready to spill it all about. Do you need me to spill so...
February 16, 2025 at 02:37
I don't eat pig blood only because it doesn't sound appetizing, not out of respect for the pig.
February 16, 2025 at 02:01
I find vegetarian debates useless.. They amount to sanctimonious sermons upon an incorrigible congregation. Stare judgmentally at my pork chop while y...

One cannot be worthless. Perhaps one does not live up to one's purpose, but worth is what we're burdened with, which is why failure to live to one's c...

I agree with that. If a blood test shows glucose, the sugar fiend should be locked away.

No. I think drugs should be regulated on the basis of dangerousness.
February 15, 2025 at 19:20
If your question is pragmatically how to schedule drugs, then just look at how it's been done. If your question is ideological without regard to appli...

I'd argue that cream is neither a liquid nor an emulusion, but that it is a color. It looks like milk.
