Hanover

Is it an American thing or just a diversity of thought thing? Would a European nation provide both sides of a Trump related issue or would that just n...

I appreciate the request, but I'm straight. I do have some glasses to give you though.

I live in Georgia, so let me know how I can help.

The problem is that once upon a time there were very few national news outlets, so entry into the market was difficult. You had to get your credential...

I was listening to public radio last night and the issue being discussed was how to dissuade the Biden protest voters who have said they won't vote fo...

The problem with that is that our best example of publicly funded news (PBS and NPR) is left leaning. Putting the government in charge of reporting th...

Hanover means the end of Han.

That is actually what I had in mind when I read the NYT story. Fox is transparently lopsided, which makes it an entertainment source, but not a news s...

I say the "a" in Kant like I say the "o" in cock, but you might talk differently than me, which is a shame, considering I speak right.

I do think there should be journalistic ethics, but this seems to go beyond that. The debate in the article referenced what was reported versus what s...

I don't think this is right. People have their faith challenged all the time, and there are times when one has higher or lesser degrees of faith. Perh...

For formal affairs, I suggest bowtie pasta.

For breakfast: a layer of granola with chocolate chunks followed by a layer of vanilla flavored Greek yogurt, topped with sliced strawberries and blac...

It was a 9-0 decision, so it's not like this divided on ideological grounds. The striking down of Roe v. Wade had to do with the Court's rejection of ...

I have worked for corporate America, and I would refer to a business as ethical if it adheres to the ethical standards within the system. That is, doe...

Sort of a public service announcement so you don't get scammed like I did. It's a new AI thing to be on the lookout for. I have spent a huge amount on...

I grew her from a seedling, and she's now about ready for harvest./uploads/resized/files/ie/ox3ab5tafxwchv3z.jpg

For a song with a Hush Puppy lyric, see: https://youtu.be/lE3ZXFf6Yd8?si=MXPd0PWnuJw-9uQq There's something profoundly 70s about this sound, carrying ...

Classic Wallabees. Thoughts? /uploads/resized/files/56/4r0or577pu8qd7ku.jpg

The American democratic spirit of equality identified by de Tocqueville is expressed in our refusal to see rabbit - hares, apes -monkeys, and turtles-...

Zachor.

Chicken looks dry and the carrots unpeeled. I'm a huge opponent of boneless skinless chicken breasts because it loses what little moisture it had. It ...

What does it look like when looking out the restaurant door waiting for your pizza to take home? This: /uploads/resized/files/16/xlyk1ef62ack79gq.jpg ...

Interesting that your high school taught Nietzche or Kant. We didn't have any courses on philosophy at my high school. I actually first learned of Dar...

Many apologies that it came off that way. Many thanks for the 18th century speak. I do like me such quirky talk.

I'm not defending Outlander's account or questioning your criticism of it. I was only responding to the nihilism indictment against Nietzche and sugge...

The problem I had with this back and forth with @"Outlander" is the focus was on whether he had read Nietzche or not, but not whether the commentary p...

Vietnam was colonized by the French, then taken over by the Japanese, then Hiroshima, then no more Japanese rule, then Ho Chi Minh read a book by Marx...

I'm not piling on here, meaning I don't care what you've read or not, but I will say, that of all of the philosophers out there, he's one of the easie...

Here's my living room, offering a glimpse into the Hanoverian House of Curiosities. The artwork is a discounted Hopper reproduction. /uploads/resized/...

This is different to me, although realism, it's more modern and hipper, with an older gay vibe. I shall buy two then. One for my bayside parlor. The o...

Do you have the option of privately paying for care beyond what the government is willing to provide?

No, that's not a thing here. You can't be denied care due to age. A doctor might refuse you due to risk or whatnot, but they can't just say you've had...

No one here is talking about Fani Willis. Trump is like 0-100 in the courts, but he's about to win a doozy. What was supposed to be a pre-election kno...

I go to a reform synagogue. The cantor sings the songs with contemporary tunes. Last Friday night was Billy Joel/Elton John night, where every song wa...

Which seat do you sit in? I'd choose immediately behind the pole.

I'll share my recent AI therapy session. I found it very helpful. AI: Hello, I am your therapist. How have you been feeling lately? Me: I feel jealous...

I emailed Hanover and he said hello to everyone. He's doing really well and he misses you guys, but he's just been super busy with important stuff. Hi...

I found a free AI therapist. It was too generic and had no sense of humor. It did involuntary commit me, so it did get that part right though.

Nihilism is rooted in meaninglessness which is rooted in purposelessness. The guy holding the "The End is Near" sign isn't a pessimist as long as he b...

Not sure if you saw the movie The Lobster. It was disturbing and I didn't really like it. It was a dystopian dark comedy where people who could not fi...

Women defecate too? But they're so pretty.

To the extent you're using your emotions as a form of expression to allow someone else to know your feelings, the right way to emote would be the one ...

I feel like Hume used a lot of apostrophes to abbreviate words and I think we talked about 'tis some time ago.

In England they now ban the apostrophe from street names. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-21795179. In the Americas, we never did that shit ...

I'm Jewish because my mother was.

Atheist problems.

Sounds like your mama. I even wrote a song about hell. https://youtu.be/09839DpTctU?si=Mda5k6s43IPYRBTC

How do you know you're not already dead? If hell were the worst imaginable place (omnishitty), it would need to be a place you'd think isn't the worst...
