Yes. Happy new year! If you define consume, that's intentional action on our part. Perceiving is sensing with or without our intentionality. Not all s...

Yes, gallons of gas for $1.10 per gallon.

Thanks, Tiff. :)

This is a victory on her part, I believe. Conviction to the bitter end. She was fighting to the last moment. A consolation to the readers.

I haven't seen @"James Riley" in a while. Anyone has news on him?
January 02, 2022 at 17:11
You misunderstand. We're not talking about just any independent sources of capital here. You are preaching to the choir. The nature of funding these d...

Which, perhaps, had also the highest register of happiness in the history of the US.

You must be thinking about the era of entrepreneurship -- which has been replaced now by VC and other sources of funding. The incubator outlook is lon...

As a reader? Or are you talking about your process of writing?

Peach trees are beautiful no matter what condition. Haha! :grin:

Nice! I'm looking at it while listening to It's A Beautiful Day by Lighthouse Family. Coincidentally. Is that your farm?
December 31, 2021 at 21:15
Cheers, Proof!
December 31, 2021 at 20:28
haha! I also checked it out not too long ago. Hoping to go back there, too. I joined it way before I joined the TPF predecessor. 'loved that place. To...

You missed the humor in the metaphor -- "heavy use of" and "nasty habit"??? i.e. Drugs?? :smirk: Those are words we commonly describe the big D. I'll ...
December 31, 2021 at 20:07
That will be a good thread. I'd like to collaborate, if you don't mind.
December 31, 2021 at 20:06
I'm a character-focused reader.
December 31, 2021 at 19:55
Metaphors are fascinating -- if used cleverly and wisely. Just my taste. We do it all the time.

Meandering to another trajectory of the story that I wasn't expecting. I had wanted the narrator and Mrs. Godfried to have a real time encounter and c...
December 31, 2021 at 19:45
Thanks for the link. And just as I've suspected, it remains problematic to use empathy as a counter argument for the existence of other minds, especia...
December 31, 2021 at 19:40
While I do not disagree, somehow it leaves me a feeling of dissatisfaction from the understanding that we are shifting the philosophical nature of sol...

This caught my attention. Can one really experience solipsism? Or will solipsism remain just an interesting philosophical topic.
December 31, 2021 at 03:02
I was excited at the beginning. Then it couldn't hold my attention towards the end. Good concept, otherwise.
December 31, 2021 at 02:33
That's fair. It's good and tiring at once because of the heavy use of metaphor. Or shall I say, a nasty habit of metaphor? As a reader, my brain had t...
December 31, 2021 at 02:02
Me too. When I came here in 2018, I thought it was just the continuation of the old forum, so I just welcomed myself here. lol. :)
December 31, 2021 at 01:21
Welcome back.
December 30, 2021 at 21:58
That was my new year's resolution last year and before that. This is the real Tiff talking now -- the good one. Good God. This is when you take the wo...

:grin: @"Hanover" is funny. My new year's resolution is to be kind to Hanover.
December 30, 2021 at 05:43
I wish. The mountain is the location of the 1922 vampyre silent movie Nosferatu, or at least that's where Count Orlok's Transylvanian castle should be...
December 26, 2021 at 20:14
That's good! I want to say, thanks to the writers who contributed.

Just beautiful. Mount Khomyak. Carpathian Mountains. https://img.peapix.com/9637e2f0e87f4315bdfffdc0648ca09d_1080.jpg
December 26, 2021 at 03:40
Not in the way you put it. Philosophy asks a question in a different sense because reality, to philosophy, can be inquired upon in a different sense. ...
December 25, 2021 at 19:25
Then, the mosquito example you gave stands supports the isolation illusion principle, because the mosquito(s) can be killed before doing harm or die a...

Happy holidays to all! I'm a nibbler. So whatever I could nibble on, that's my Christmas meal. :party: Hugs and kisses everyone!
December 25, 2021 at 19:12
It works if we're only talking about the mosquito seeking a host. But virus behaves differently. I don't think the spread of the virus is a zero-sum g...
December 24, 2021 at 20:52
In that case, @"Roger Gregoire"'s analogy is misplaced as he mistakes the mosquito's search for a host before it lands on the host as similar to how a...
December 24, 2021 at 20:45
This is a misnomer on my part -- organisms are at least single-celled. Virus is not a celled organism. Rather they're a coded agent. "Agent" is the pr...
December 24, 2021 at 17:43
Merry Christmas, to all! :smile:
December 24, 2021 at 17:33
The replies are asking about the behavior of the mosquito compared with the behavior of the virus. You should try to explain this, as this is what the...
December 24, 2021 at 17:29
That means you rushed into things and didn't know yourself much, let alone not knowing the people. This happens a lot in an organization during hiring...

Cute!
December 24, 2021 at 01:36
Close enough. :sweat: But, if cousins married, then that should reduce the number of grandparents, and great grams?
December 24, 2021 at 01:30
If you say so.
December 22, 2021 at 04:55
Nah. Google is not that smart. I really meant celebrity.
December 22, 2021 at 04:53
You're now a celebrity.
December 22, 2021 at 03:07
haha! Nice one! Yeah, who's TiredThinker? :smile: I hope so, too, that The Fool is doing fine.
December 22, 2021 at 02:51
@"AgentTangarine" is a bot. Not a real member posting. Can we put a restraining feature on this bot? Nice observation. In fact, it was the attitude at...

Yup. Let it show! :yum:
