I agree they do. Then, they both(Bob and the dumb kids) know what a butterfly is, and the other pieces of information (in one case, it's appearance, i...

Fwiw, I agree entirely with Christoffer. Do what you will with the information, but it seems patently clear you are not engaging with the objections a...
January 24, 2024 at 01:48
I assume this is aimed his having never been outside being required to not know what a Butterfly appears to be. Fair. Even for those people, the butte...

If you ever see me doing this, please be hard on me. Thanks

My position here (though, fresh, and likely to change) is that it really, truly, does not matter. If he has a good notion of cocoon function (in it's ...
January 24, 2024 at 01:06
Might be way late on this, but as noted in the other thread, practice! Hoping it makes per....sort of good. LOL. We know what a triangle is because it...
January 24, 2024 at 00:51
For the first response, my clarification was more in the opposite direction. One must know what a President is in order to know that Bob will become o...
January 24, 2024 at 00:38
Then i may be missing something. My understanding is that the conflict in the above exchange is that you are asserting a temporality requirement to th...
January 24, 2024 at 00:28
LOL, Oh, i see. As you were..

The Dems were not (which is the comparison).

I'm unsure this is the time to enact Godwin's Law
January 24, 2024 at 00:05
This is oxymoronic. I also disagree it seemed as if he was responding to J6. You asked a question and he answered it with surprising directness.
January 23, 2024 at 23:47
I appreciate your sentiment to me, and I feel the same. It's just that i'm sure you're capable of not devolving into pissing matches. It may well be t...

Haha yep - until the bleach comes in, that's a dedicated Dad trying to help his daughter with her fourth grade pageant. The bleach makes it very hard ...
January 23, 2024 at 20:17
I thought the use of Bleach in your recent regaling was quite cool.
January 23, 2024 at 20:11
It is nigh-impossible. I tried.

@"Benkei" Just a note - from a third party - you are both now not talking about anything but that you are having negative emotional reactions to each ...

Good lord I love the Shoutbox :rofl:
January 23, 2024 at 19:05
I get the feeling that all of these thinkers did not take much time to avoid being depressed, which can be done. I am unsure I can take seriously a se...

The Yage Letters is a bit askance from general Drug writing. It's about Burroughs being in teh Amazon rainforest with Shamans and writing his journey ...
January 23, 2024 at 18:58
Not sure that's true. You can have direct knowledge that Bob will become President (for instance, if you're told he's going to be by a source trustwor...
January 23, 2024 at 18:53
Wild. I have to genuinely admire your obstinance in the face of overwhelmingly unfavourable reception. I suppose that's informed by my knowledge that ...
January 23, 2024 at 18:49
Obviously, you've already noted Burroughs positively, but his Yage Letters (to Ginsberg) are a pretty wild ride. Just incase anyone needs to know abou...
January 23, 2024 at 18:46
This is more or less where I sit, fwiw. I can't possibly know what numbers are accurate, but it seems pretty wild to think that it's just not happenin...
January 23, 2024 at 18:42
I think what he thinks you're not getting is that the thing itself is not 'uncaused' anymore than an object which exists in a world without gravity is...
January 23, 2024 at 03:15
Ah - well, that's fair enough. I'll try to be more precise in future.
January 23, 2024 at 03:12
I'm unsure it wise to end this exchange with a school-yard misrepresentation. But you do you, Boo :kiss: I'm sure outside of this thread we'll have gr...
January 23, 2024 at 03:01
To some degree, yes. They did. And they were wrong. A milquetoast 'standing up' and being immediately sat down by the presider with some force (that p...
January 23, 2024 at 02:58
Sure, i more-or-less understand how the equation works, but your explanation betrays your initial position. I'm unsure how to take that.. Mass and ene...
January 23, 2024 at 02:45
Cool thing is, I didn't. And it's right there as proof positive that you've just lied. that i was an absolute moron. I know. You were wrong.
January 23, 2024 at 02:35
Do you think the Israeli numbers are credible? I would hazard neither can be trusted. But I also find it extremely hard to think the numbers aren't at...
January 23, 2024 at 02:28
It was what's called a proposition, within a syllogism. I'm unsure you're really understanding what's going on here. No. The direct full quote is. You...
January 23, 2024 at 02:22
I've quoted them in full. You are out-right lying. The kind of lying I cannot do anything with but tell you you are lying. Because you can read. So yo...

Interesting. No matter the destination, i tend to want road trips to last longer. It almost feels like a time-out-of-time when im road trippin'.
January 23, 2024 at 01:54
Ok, that's a bit different from your previous take LOL. Hmm, yeah Memento is good, but it was essentially nicked, and improved by a French film called...

I understand it was prevalent in jazz circles initially.
January 23, 2024 at 01:41
If it helps, I've not seen Oppenheimer - you could be right. But I conclude that given his hit rate (prior to Oppy) is 100%, I simply must dismiss thi...
January 23, 2024 at 01:40
I suppose this presents a pretty interesting conundrum - the human ingenuity that came up with an automobile, is also the one, at the same moment whic...
January 23, 2024 at 01:38
I think this requires an addition of a strong will. Intelligence doesn't equate to a strong will, or control of ones faculties. As @"Tom Storm" notes,...

I missed this - but you should also check out Cunk on Christmas. One of the funniest Christmas-related watches i've had in years. That said, I am extr...

Me? I'm a typewriter.
January 23, 2024 at 01:20
Fair enough; I think it's clear they're 1. Less capable; 2. Less energetic and 3. Less aggrieved. The BLM protests are the 'canary' for that. But, tha...
January 23, 2024 at 01:16
Personally, they're as bad as each other, for different reasons. But, its totally understandable that someone is comfortable in your position. The GOP...
January 23, 2024 at 00:52
Ah, I see. LOL. Tbf, liberal media is absolutely awful. But that has no bearing here - just wanted to give at least one opinion here haha.
January 23, 2024 at 00:37
That's not a motive. His own words say this, directly, with absolutely no middle man. Bizarre that you're asking. I didn't need to do anything to 'get...
January 23, 2024 at 00:25
Fwiw, your response here sorted much out for me. Thanks mate
January 23, 2024 at 00:06
I laid that out, fairly clearly. You had an objection. I pointed out it was an inaccurate objection, the answer to which is in the content of the quot...

Of what type do you think he was referring? Tax fraud? Or could it be, that I am well aware of the context and I am accurately portraying the situatio...
