You should have the moss forcibly removed. It's defiantly squatting in oaken real-estate! Sure they don't parasitize the oaks (they make their own foo...
"Bull", meaning nonsense, has been in use since the 17th, it was conjugated with "shit" around 1910, and became popular as such during the second worl...
Absolutely not, which is why instead of bailing out Disney, cuz jobs or whatever, Disney et all should pay more taxes. Tenants and landlords alike are...
Eviction moratoriums are easy to do because they threaten only marginal impact on few corporate bottom lines. But heaven forbid we interfere with a pr...
Interesting questions. But if you are consciously or subconsciously aware that you are more fatigued than normal, then you could take this into accoun...
You're leaving out some context and nuance from what was written. I stated that the clip marked a formal launch of the definitive alt-right, unifying ...
You have repeatedly stated that you don't know about the relationship between Peterson and the alt-right, but are you at least aware that there is som...
When did Biden come out as a communist, and when did he urge Antifa and BLM to break everything, blame it on Trump supporters, and then exile them? Do...
You asked for evidence of a claim that I didn't make. In my view, the alt-right was still coalescing, and really began to take off around the time of ...
It's not the case. Semantics are indeed rooted in symbols that appropriate syntax can do logic-like actions on, but the validity and meaning of the sy...
I specifically explained how and why JP played a role in the emergence of the alt-right, which schism'd off from the anti-SJW crowd: Free speech was i...
Here's the long take on JP: Jordan Peterson rose to prominence among the right (including the anti-SJW center/left) partially due to a coincidence: as...
So there's actually a couple sneaky issues with the thrust that AI has no emotion... Firstly, it depends on the kind of AI we're talking about; with t...
If we selected for signs of emotion rather than the use of logic, I fear we would devolve into the philosophical equivalent of the above GIF. P.S the ...
This post is a grammatical nightmare. Constant use of all-caps text, ellipses, slang, etc, make it unsuitable from the get-go, but the overall lack of...
It is a very interesting time that we're living in... After 4 whole years of Trump, most of America and its corporate patrons have finally and fully r...
This is irrelevant. Trump questioned the election results until the cows came home, as was his right, but then he rabble roused a mob and flung it dir...
Given that impeachment is not a matter of criminal law, the reasonable person test is irrelevant. All that matters is the congressman/senator test. It...
So the true purpose/meaning of America is to have an electoral college? I'm curious as to how you would rationalize that America evaporates with the e...
Dude, you're dreaming. Despite a concerted effort by Pelosi et al to sabotage their own party, Trump's performance was just that bad. There's not real...
I think it understands and encompasses them perfectly. But let's not so quickly forget that Trump was legitimately elected president by hordes of peop...
It's fairly handy to have someone seemingly earnestly trot out les memes du jour, especially since this is a mostly left-leaning forum. Becoming famil...
"Breaching the barricades"... You once likened the George Floyd unrest/riots to "insurrection", but breaching barricades in a capitol building and get...
Do you reckon there is any chance of anything close to reasonable making its way to the supreme court? I'm curious to know what the boofer would say/d...
As far as assertions go, it definitely passes the sniff test. I'm of a moral persuasion that only tolerates incarceration as a form of intervention/re...
Nope. It's more like this: Brains evolved to make useful anticipations, and so we're hard wired to make connections between disparate stimulus that co...
If I could cover extra bases in a single game, then yes. (are we buying tickets to be drawn or selecting numbers on a wheel, or are we buying scratch ...
Word on the hill is that the radical leftists almost cost the Dems the election by being too left. It's definitely not the case that foisting Biden ah...
Allow me to tweak and probe the hypothetical slightly: Assuming that we *must* play, what are the consequences of going bust? In other words, what is ...
It's more like this: Solipsism cannot be deductively falsified (we cannot prove that it is untrue). This doesn't make it "valid" though. Validity refe...
Here's something interesting that I found through Trump's most recent retweet: https://i.imgur.com/KlPxKKx.png The second tweet in the above picture i...
His present level of sophistication is reminiscent of an upset toddler https://i.imgur.com/NVlSd4O.png "I WON THIS ELECTION BY A LOT, AND JOE BIDEN IS...
I seriously doubt he will have the energy in 4 years, but I imagine it would be a sequel to the circus we just survived. Kanyé is going to run again i...
It takes an obscene amount of effort to dissuade these folks, (See: "The flat earth movement" for a similar cast of confusion). Wacky conspiracies are...
Y'all were supposed to remove Trump from office after impeachment (it would have been an important lesson and catharsis for America and the world, and...
Mental phenomena aside, one of the keys to understanding the epistemic frame of reference that we try to take when labelling emergent phenomena is the...
:rofl: I'm definitely willing to accept that America needs at least a best of 7 to really get firing on all stupid. https://thumbs-prod.si-cdn.com/nCG...
