Velveeta and American Cheese are the same substance in different forms. One is a solid and the other a liquid. If you take the powder that comes with ...

Does TC stand for Tom Cruise? I'm totally confused (TC). This' crazy (TC). This' is a contraction of "this is" btw.

I bought some American cheese the other day. I had forgotten how delicious it is. I've been eating cheese sandwiches lately like nobody's business. Ge...

It depends upon what you mean by "resemblance." At first glance sure, but after a while I start to notice differences between a dead guy and and an al...

The problem with cheesemen is their lack of communication skills that can often times appear as lack of appreciation, but it's not that at all. Your f...

We're actually in practice together. It's the law firm of Hanover, Loblaw, and T Clark (no relation). As a result of our recent lawsuit, I have to put...

I did the math (or maths as you guys say), and it hit in Atlanta, the suburbs just to the east of the city. Convenient for me, but purely coincidental...

But there are organisms, unambiguously people, who lack these attributes as well. I don't afford embryos the rights of a person because they don't loo...

Enjoying pralines and port. Obnoxiously sweet and unrefined. Like me.

Speaking of which, this is why we must write clearly: https://youtu.be/4VdMdboymT8?si=hJCUu1uWQtvmZr0K

If "whatever" doesn't mean everything, but only something, then the conclusion: does not follow. That is, if you can ad hoc remove those things you do...

They can't claim that because it violates premise #1, which was my point. Premise #1 is:

A quick revision. Lemme know whatcha think: I met my love in the pet cemetery Her anus dripping with dysentery I tied her gland with a rubber band And...

American abortion law was fairly progressive prior to Roe's reversal. Anchoring the law in convoluted Constitutional interpretation left it vulnerable...

If infanticide were legal, it wouldn't be murder. Substitute anything for the word "infanticide" and the logic holds. "Murder" entails illegality. The...

This premise is self-contradictory. If what you mean by "whatever begins to exist" is that there are certain whatevers that "begin" in a creation ex n...

What impresses me about the commentary is its recognition of the misplacement of events, suggesting an understanding of the way things should be in or...

Possibly, but ChatGPT's analysis of my comments is pretty dead on: "This piece seems to blend absurdist humor with social commentary, though it can co...

You're not from the US, so you don't know this, but crying girls do most of our construction work in their underwear. It's been a real problem, so we ...

It's like the wrecking ball saw dynamite and believed itself to be obsolete, but then Miley Cyrus straddled it naked and it mattered again. My analogy...

My dog's name is Fred Barkowitz, not Sam Berkowitz.

Guys, my dog was barking his fool head off for a few minutes. Did y'all say anything important I might've missed?

The only actual crime he ever committed was tax evasion, which landed him in the pokey a few years. The gambling just got him thrown out of baseball f...

It will make things up entirely, but it's 2024. My guess is in a few years, it'll be smarter than all of us. Except me.

I'm not sure of the distinction between brain dead and dead dead. But as to consciousness, you can be unconscious and have brain activity, like when y...

Yesterday, sitting minding my own business, ChatGPT came to me and asked me a random question. That's how bad ass I am. ChatGPT asks me questions.

But this was just Day 6, so maybe then there was no evil yet. Man had yet to fall on Day the Sixth, but took a few more moments it seems. I heard once...

You don't provide any basis for why the acheivment of your objectives would be a more ethical way to run an economy. Looking at your worth criterion f...

Can't be. Genesis 1::31 "God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day."

We're accepting that AI is artificial, which means that it does not go through the same curiousity humans do when they arrive at questions. The questi...
September 27, 2024 at 13:06
I don't think this follows. Your question doesn't point out the lack of intelligence (artificial or otherwise) of the AI programs, but it points out t...

Parents don't have the right and duty to end their child's life.
September 26, 2024 at 21:57
That wasn't my logic. You said that women should have a choice whether to have a child and I agreed. I then said that when a woman is raped, her right...
September 26, 2024 at 20:00
The reason some allow for the exception for rape is because people should be given the right to choose to become pregnant. If the sex was consensual, ...

But we're not permitted to kill the unconscious, so that must not be the basis for deciding if someone is a person. The US Supreme Court, prior to str...
