Like that old tie if you hang on to it long enough, it'll come back in fashion. My position is that is exactly what old mythology is (the Bible, for e...
Well that was much. This humble event in our little corner of the internet isn't a metaphor for thousands of years of oppression or grounds to reasses...
The top are plantains and the bottom bananas. I know this 2 ways: The stem on the plantain is thicker, and I Google searched your images and that told...
The problematic aspect of your lament over the dissolution of state's rights was that the war that formally drew them legally bound together under the...
It's my New Year's resolution not to go into the politics threads, but today is actually "Quitter's Day," the day when people give up on their resolut...
This issue was addressed actually some time ago by moving the Shoutbox from the front page so that it couldn't be seen without looking for it. The int...
The problem is from the equivocation of terms. "Sensitive" can mean having heightened senses or it can mean easily insulted, or it can mean someone wh...
I think the better phrasing would be "How Hanover says you are, you are." This is both synthetically true and performatively true. That is, if I say y...
You have crystallized my thoughts perfectly. I wouldn't change a thing. You seem like a man who knows his way around a banana. You should join in that...
That is a lovely frying of the banana I had forgotten. Foster, "Australian for banana," as the slogan goes. We must also expect a fried banana is bein...
Plantains are not bananas. You fry plantains and get them at Carribean restaurants. Everyone knows that. While a fried banana might be a heretofore pr...
Unless someone wants to define our current system as fascist (which I don't), I put the chances at right around zero. The forces maintaining the statu...
I see sensitivity to mean only that your senses are heightened so that your reactions tend to come off as exaggerated to someone not as sensitive. If ...
St. Simons is a resort island these days. It's very built up. Jekyll much less so because of regulations preserving it. If you're exploring the coast ...
It's not a symptom of looking for enemies though. The word usage is well understood. If the meaning you wish to convey is "I'd rather not black people...
Not sure of the plantations you speak of. There are some more inland that have fallen into disrepair, nothing like what has been maintained in Lousian...
I see you are from New Zealand? This is significant because the comment by the driver was in fact a faux pas where I am from. The husband was not in t...
A quick story because everyone does love a story. I live in Atlanta and visited my then wife's family in rural east Georgia. Their indiscriminate use ...
If the refrain indicates that all that preceded it has been rejected now that he's wiser, then I'm left with this: "Half-wracked prejudice leaped fort...
https://youtu.be/92cF_KCH7TU?si=bt7Q52GnU_4ur8Dq I was struck by how counter-counter-revolutionary these lyrics were, like saying the whole countercul...
Someone opposed to Latin might be a Latinphobe, but I'd be careful not to refer to them as Latinaphobes because that might suggest they don't like wom...
I'm pretty much the chatty Cathy behind the scenes actually. I've got all sorts of drama swirling around in PMs right now. You would never believe wha...
My thoughts, and I'm perfectly fine with your telling me I've missed the boat entirely here because I pretend no expertise in this. Where @"Mww" and y...
I had the idea that that we could create a form that asks questions that the participants (and amicus fori) could fill out and offer feedback. I think...
I mean wow guys, you're not wrong, but it just makes me feel uncomfortable in all my humility to hear it said out loud. This must be what it feels lik...
The definition of sentimentality: "dealing with feelings of tenderness, sadness, or nostalgia, typically in an exaggerated and self-indulgent way." Th...
I'd agree the basil is misplaced in that meal you spoke of in your trauma dump. I feel like basil in stew is proper. I Googled basil and stew and got ...
Sorry, I misspelled it. It was a basal skin cell carcinoma I picked loose from between my eyebrows. It tasted of fear, like the kind you feel when you...
I made a Hanoverian stew consisting of beef, potatoes, multi-colored carrots, rutabaga, yuca, chili pepper, onions, garlic, parsley, paprika, salt, cu...
I actually did find his crying for the incel very persuasive, even if unhinged a bit, but he did change my mind on that. An attractive woman was criti...
Jordan Peterson is at his best when he's quoting statistical data related to male and female behaviors and in describing dating (mating) behavior. He ...
The younger and more reckless Hanover would have given Matt a call just so I could ask him, "Hey, Matt, so I post on this website called TPF, and this...
This comment barely meets the requirements for posting at the Shoutbox even though we have none. I have actually read every book Matt Dillahunty has w...
I've read some of Ehrman's books. He does a good job breaking down the inconsistencies in the various gospels. He started seminary as a fundamentalist...
Remind me why we're trying to figure out the origins of "spirit"? Is it because we want to know how it evolved in use from the first caveman or are we...
That it was the last lines of print they read before storming the beaches of Normandy does make the book more historically significant, but my origina...
And we can't forget it's a subjective beauty contest to some extent. I still can't see the brilliance in The Great Gatsby, so I'd have given it a C- i...
I do agree that a single review by someone with expertise would be most helpful. I actually submitted one of my entries on a creative writing website ...
