I'd like to addend my thoughts: Logical fallacy refers to any argument which does not persuade using sound reasoning. A persuasive argument which lack...
Letting existing farm animals live in peace would mean letting them die horribly (the farmer kind of has to tend to them, shelter them, winter them, f...
Because I'm too thin, have difficulty gaining weight, and I cannot afford professional assessments or expensive foods. It's a combination of risk and ...
Actually it's already been checked out. IIRC the spot will be gone within our lifetimes (though a new one might form somewhere else). It's a beauty ma...
You might save yourself some time and catch more inaccuracies. Being generally aware of common and informal fallacies does help dearly in the writing ...
Well I've explained why their death at our hands is made necessary by thermodynamics alone, else they cannot exist, and you don't seem to be offering ...
Anecdotal evidence can be fallacious for a number of reasons (subjective testimony, irreproducibility, etc...), but my testimony about myself would no...
Are farm animal lives worth living? This is the question; it's not nonsense. You have no excuse to keep saying this is nonsense. So release my chicken...
While I can relate to your pedantic attitude, calling the straw-man version of my question nonsense and dodging the actual question by saying "that's ...
I've tried eating little to no meat, and I lost weight. I tried eating a variety of nuts and beans, as I indicated, but it wasn't enough. I'm not pres...
It's quite a curious thing. Imagine that I told you I had a replacement for your most beloved late pet (analogous to your favorite film). Chances are ...
Sometimes the songs become more accurate descriptions of reality though. They bring us insight, understanding, power, and affluence. Nothing is a comp...
I've done research, I've tried various diets, and I've known plenty of successful and failed vegans. If you're going to just refer me to a dietician I...
Yep... But broadly it's about the myriad of causes, be they biological, external, experiential, "natural", coercive, "unnatural", whatever, that under...
I could restate most of my above position as the following: When the existence of two beings are at odds with one another (such as in the case of pred...
I'm a bit late to this party, but what the heck! I eat animals. I don't think I could maintain my health if I did not eat meat... I have a very VERY l...
It's almost as if some of Trump's magic pixie dust has rubbed off onto Guilianni. Nothing can drag you down when you can fly to neverland at any momen...
How long does the probation last? :D I'll do my best man, but I make no vows. If you look hard enough almost everything can be interpreted as innuendo...
You always know just what to say to make me swoon :blush: These lyrics are interesting to actually read. Hearing them sung aloud doesn't allow for the...
Ah but I AM awesome, therefore you must know me! We've grazed one-another in the past if I recall correctly. We both seem to post at a slower rate tha...
Finally I get recognition. Absolutely my good man! Time lines have changed... And we've often removed the post, Since the Puritans got a roast, When t...
The internet and social media are not the original sources of our present misfortunes, though as has been made clear they have likely amplified them (...
It's flabbergasting how similar the core-sample you've extracted from a random incel forum reads and feels to the style (and ideological contents) of ...
Oh fuck! We need a system. Hiss if by land, neigh if by sea. We should seek out a third to form some kind of triple entente. It's not like that would ...
Don't sweat it! Sometimes we get too far into it but this place would be insufferable if all we ever did was blow sweet nothings up each-other's rears...
I don't see the irony. Is that the irony? We are living in a time of political polarization, and I've briefly summarized several of the more silly ext...
That's fascinating. In the broader sense I think what we're looking at are regimes of cultural and ideological transmission that tend to find purchase...
Internet culture is something I've intentionally drenched myself in. I've been familiar with the term "incel" for many years... "Involuntarily celibat...
You're not going to leave out communism are you!? To be brutally honest in response to the OP: it's unfair to philosophy and generous to rap to on one...
If you can convince me I've taken a hard position I'll happily fess up, but it's been years and years since I've done so (been foolish enough to take ...
In my view, both the theist and hard-atheist views are unreasonable. In the past I've searched extensively for proofs of god (for and against) and I'v...
Ladies and gentlemen, Pascal has entered the building! :grin: I agree that there either is or is not an uncreated creator, but I must ask by which for...
Another way of looking at this is that soft atheists take the position of rejection both ways. We reject theist claims and arguments and we reject har...
Aye. I didn't mean for you to defend it, just wanted to share a reflection. As far as how these kinds videos tend to go, I'm really not displeased wit...
Perhaps just to cause confusion as an additional layer if rigor. In high school one my teachers set all the answers to a multiple choice test as optio...
I actually wrote an in-depth reddit article about how the Szechuan sauce is actually the fuel for Rick's portal gun. I infirmly believe that Harmon st...
I have mixed feelings about the video. I agree with it's intent and the gist of what it is saying, but the language he uses makes me invisible. Though...
Monarch is such a misleading term though. Constitutionally Canada is independent: the "Crown" proper retains power over ceremony and a few emergency l...
:D The most precious substance in the Universe is the Sauce melange. The sauce extends life. The Sauce expands consciousness. The sauce is vital to sp...
Nor the revolutionary Time's familiar foreboding frown... Change is risky and complicated business. Even with a well-placed heart and the best of inte...
As a Canadian I couldn't possibly care less... Some jerks sceptered a dingy isle, handed down their divine right to rule, conquered some foreign lands...
You're refusing to participate and engage in the topic of your own creation and you've been lazy and insulting towards good-faith replies. If by "got ...
