I wouldn't say it has "nothing" to do with it. Sexual attraction won't progress further without some sort of sexual compatibility. The fact that males...
There is no debate; the jury came in ages ago: the fact that the human anus is capable of being pleasurably stimulated (in both males and females) hea...
Do you support National Socialism or Communism? If you don't pick one of these sides, you're just uninformed? Just because one of two piles of excreme...
Overspending by 10% is a big deal given how close the referendum was. What seemed to me an even bigger scandal was that infamous lie on the Brexit bus...
Probably for the best wouldn't you say? Something tells me the state of Georgia can do better... It's really not so much worse than a reality T.V star...
Some video games blur the line between consumption and creation. As interactive art forms they can be of immensely high quality and serve many functio...
I love the auto-save feature. There's also a "drafts" section in which I have pages upon pages of un-sumbitted and half-complete posts (or posts I tho...
Many of his recent victims are taking to the news and social media to defend themselves. Corinne "adopt-a-child-soldier" Olympios said she was thoroug...
Actually yes it is. Here's a skit where as his aspiring artist ex-convict character, he manages to convince an upscale Californian art dealer to take ...
Good question. I'm fairly certain that the statements Sacha is able to tease out of his victims do on many levels reflect their genuine attitudes/beli...
Photons that the eyes gather are turned into electrical and chemical signals that the brain then interprets. The data within the light that the eye ga...
One criterion for strong testimonial evidence is corroboration. If multiple people testify to witnessing an event then the claims corroborated by the ...
Our point of view is "located within the eyes" because that's where the light stimulus is gathered from. Analogously, when we're viewing a monitor of ...
Because it's intentional belief altering via coercive/irrational means. Is deception the intent to conceal or manipulate or is it the successful conce...
It occurs to me that we can very easily and in the true sense of the phrase 'lie to ourselves' if we're content with deceiving our future-selves rathe...
He's a bit of a limp biscuit but at least he has interesting guests from time to time (though he would never dare to ask a confrontational question). ...
Just to clarify I'm not exactly advocating for erecting a "TPF Academy for Members Who Cant Post Good And Want To Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too", b...
I was hoping that this section could be omitted from the all discussions section/home page somehow. I realize now such a feature is not available, as ...
There's nothing new under the digital sun I guess... As I was not privy to the original discussion, could you share any information about its conclusi...
Cats are well known as utterly scrupulous and frugal accountants. Although if you're not careful, they'll deftly bury their own toxic assets in your l...
Without - some - socialism we would have laissez-faire capitalism, which is a strategy few of us would find desirable. Is that the rate of taxation wh...
If Russia is indeed an enemy of the United States (is an "Enemy" well defined in this context?) then could any of Trumps statements or actions be cons...
Thanks! :heart: Trump can take away our security, our confidence, and our dignity, but I'll be damned if he taints the elegance of the english languag...
By 2020 he'll be so.... So.... Old... And tired... So tired... Even if the economy soars he would still need another miracle in my estimation (Hillary...

I watched the first episode, and while at times I felt like gouging my eyes and ears out of sympathetic embarrassment, it's painfully amusing. And yes...

Sacha is one of the very best performance artists of our time. I can't wait for the full feature! :up: FIRE!!! EDIT: I see it's actually a series, and...
How familiar are you with the science of machine learning? (And welcome to TPF!) The question you've asked is a big'un; it spans the history of evolut...
Trump will only resign if he can feel like he can go down a winner. He never believed he could win and almost certainly never wanted to be president, ...
I think we deceive ourselves all the time. Lately I've been conceiving "consciousness" as a kind of conglomerate or patch-work that is made up of many...
There's no star-spangled guarentee that logic will continue to yield "truth". It's a kind of brute fact that logic yields truth: inductive experience ...
