Just got back from the dermatologist. I had a bump on my ankle. He said it wasn't nothing but a chicken wing. He took it off and threw it in a jar to ...

Not just to be a naysayer or to speak ill of the dead, but I found his thoughts on consciousness useless, not very thoughtful, and stubborn in an almo...

I also note that there is a southeastern village on your map called Sant Francesc. It reminds me of a city by the bay, but I cannot exactly place it.

Cloaked in a blanket, you cried with a Greek man and shared a meal and then a nap, only to find later your blanket became a picturesque map. Your stor...

I think conservatives will naturally want to conserve the past and progressives will naturally want to move forward. A conservative might resent chang...

So you think you've heard it all? Well, no, you haven't. I give you Texasdeutsch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texas_German https://youtu.be/v6sAxhAt...

I think the far right isn't right at all. It's Trumpist, whatever that is. I also think the far left is falling off the deep end. I agree with some th...

I never heard of such until now. It could arguably be considered a ditch more than a wall. If it were to encircle the entirely of the pasture, it woul...

I provided the same for my son. He would ask me to play the card game War over and over with him, so I showed him how he could play with the owl figur...

When I was a kid, I asked my dad to throw a ball with me, but he told me to bounce it off the wall. It wasn't the same, but it was something at least.

Even more general is the barrier, which includes walls, shrubs, fences, and condoms, among other things. Another barrier is lack of intelligence, whic...

To me a hedge is a live planted shrub, although a dead shrub would still be a hedge, albeit in heaven. A wall then might be inorganic, but never a shr...

A fence is perhaps a subset of a wall, but not vice versa. I have walls in my house that I'd never call a fence, but I could call my fence in my yard ...

Walls and fences are different things. We have more walls than Scotland also. At least I think so, but I'll defer to the numbers

There are over 600,000 bridges in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bridges_in_the_United_States_by_state#:~:text=This%20list%20of%20bridg...
April 14, 2024 at 16:20
In America, we have no fences, only bridges, because we believe in inclusiveness. It's interesting to hear how others still live elsewhere.

Actually, the rule is that you are not to cry over spilled milk. Wine is a different matter.
April 07, 2024 at 04:43
This isn't why. It's because analytical philosophy falls into the same category as STEM subject matter, which is also male dominated. Progress by fema...

She misses the point of Descartes, for which I'd give her C on that paper, but since her missing the point was intentional, I give her a D.

Would it be so much to ask everyone to provide shoe pics? I like to put a foot with a name.

The point I was making is that if HD is true, we assign culpability because we do and there is no reason or purpose for that. It's like asking why an ...

Why do we do that?

If hard determinism is true, then you think hard determinism and compatibilism are not compatible because you have to.
