With the 'pending' collapse of 'Merica... (like that didn't start over 40 years ago, but whatever...), this is basically my personal funeral march for...

My thought as well. I don't really believe there are many folks who simply have a 'one-size-fits-all' philosophy for every occasion.

Just a fun fact. Here in Vienna, Austria a Melange is half a cup of "black coffee" and half a cup "creamy milk", topped with milk foam.

It isn't the USA... indeed we pay through taxes for our health insurance and we don't have kids. Public transport is very inexpensive and we only driv...

I have to get dinner ready, but I'll get back to you if you'd like. One thing I thought of that kind of hits a part of where I am... 'Libraries gave u...

Oddly enough we own my wife's parents house, yet I kind of doubt well ever live there. I'm not too fond of the location (now), but maybe when I'm olde...

Vienna, Austria isn't really cheap, but then again I'm always amazed how so many of my friends start out the day with a wallet full of cash and by the...

I kind of wonder then what the hell have my wife and I done wrong. I've never held a 'decent job' (so to say) nor placed such an emphasis upon 'earnin...

I kind of find it funny how there's so much emphasis upon 'earning money' or a 'decent job', as if life solely consists of Birth, School, Work, Death....

I (at times) use philosophy to find ways of asking better questions. Then again, I didn't really answer the question of the OP of 'what is the purpose...

This is about as close to a 'religious experience' as I get. Add in a bit of Peter Hook/Joy Division and The Cure and you got me. https://www.youtube....

Yes. ... and if it's as a major (like I did) the best way of having a conversation starter and a joke is to get a Bachelor of Science in Philosophy. I...

Funny thing is Trump has been on my radar as a con man/grifter and a epic asshat since the early 80's. All the warning signs were there (probably so m...

I quite agree, but I can add this: If he lives... whatever. If he dies... whatever. I don't waste my concerns where there is honestly nothing worthy o...

Well, he has brought a new level to the phrase 'trumped up', so with Covid-19... why not take 'bat shit crazy' to a whole new level as well?

Perhaps Enrique Tarrio? He seems to be a modern day match for 'MAGA values'.
October 03, 2020 at 15:47
That kind of depends upon one's perspective regarding the 'US trolley problem' or is it a US variation on 'Killing Baby Hitler'? I'm sure there are so...

Just wondering... ... if Trump does become incapacitated, what's Mike Pence's golf handicap?

Indeed I'm an atheist, but I can't help but think maybe Ruth Bader Ginsburg just won her first court case against god. hmm...?
