The difference is as simple as that "exists" denotes "is" and that somewhere, sometime and somehow are consequent to the "is" and not inherent to the ...

What do you mean soon? That's been a progressive realization for months.

Indeed, most anything. Ironically, my question fits the bill.

I had such hopes for him and to find this surprise, just dashed them. I feel terrible.

Why are they irritating?

Flintstones drivethrough.

Pick up a pair of rollerblades and go for a long walk.

I think that your situation is the same, and that your issue is mainly derived from the pre-established order of things in which you try to fit. If yo...

Ever read Robinson Crusoe?
October 06, 2019 at 08:51
What do you mean by transition, shedding? As agnosticism like all other a-- is just a peel. Also: The title Son of God is misunderstood. It's not spec...

In five words?

What powerstructure? All interpretations are based in selective truths. Here's the chain of events in two fold: Truth > Aspect > Interpretation Produc...

Because it's not. Only because and when layered.
October 05, 2019 at 16:21
Selective truths are essentially aspects of truth, in that they are derived from it. In the allegory of the cave, both worlds are equally albeit selec...

All illusions are truthful, though they are selectively true. Hence one technically always resides in truth, merely in a constrained form.

Roasts are slow, so come and remind me again in three years.

Actually we do know how much of the anomalies are due to human influence, and that would be most of them. Solar influence is negligible, CO2 is neglig...

Who chose her? She's self-appointed and exhibited by the media. Who actually benefits from the hysteria raised by some kids with signs? The assassinat...

The CO2 emissions by themselves aren't the primary cause, it's all the emissions from earth outwards - in due to fossil fuel sondages. Simply not burn...

It does exist and the example shows this, just as it constatates that it requires a conduit in order to interact in the specified manner. A battery th...

But the biology of the living and recently deceased is the same. Like a computer that is on or off is the same. So if it isn't mind, what is this sepa...
October 01, 2019 at 17:49
The duality can be demonstrated as simply as severing any body part. Unless the mind is plugged in to the body, the body has no battery life and is a ...

Where do you draw the line between processes and processing? Obviously none of the pre-processed data is ever directly experienced, albeit experienced...
October 01, 2019 at 07:50
Elaborate on the second premise, if you would. Please be as detailed as you may.
October 01, 2019 at 07:19
That creates more problems than it solves.
September 30, 2019 at 06:58
If I may offer an analogy: I think that the implication of realism in fantasy is more or less a necessary step. You're just not going to climb up the ...

Do loan him the money, but most importantly don't reduce contact merely to loans, rather keep in touch until you're sure he's stable. If you intend on...
September 29, 2019 at 07:22
Honestly though, why do you take it to heart? Just speak your doubts, shrug and move on. Here's a quote:
September 29, 2019 at 07:06
Step back and relax. I tend to my garden and make something nice for myself or someone else. Rather than flail around in the quicksand of negativity, ...
September 28, 2019 at 07:33
One would require rules, and these rules may be brought up via personal or second hand experience. So I guess I would be inclined to ask, do you see a...

You're just not free enough if you don't have the freedom to be bullied. -Signed the Anti-Vac of speech
September 27, 2019 at 11:40
The point is the same as in everything else, and you'll figure it out as you go along.
September 27, 2019 at 10:13
What's there to deal with it? You're a piece of the pie like everyone else, just not the same piece. Rather than worrying over not being part of a hiv...
September 27, 2019 at 08:13
Oh yeah, smacking you across the mouth isn't an expression of discontent for the quibble coming out of it, it's just the sensible thing to do. Now you...
September 27, 2019 at 07:23
Just replace real with evident.
September 27, 2019 at 07:03
Don't even try to squirm out of this one. You've made it abundantly clear that you just want to get high on 'freedom' with no regard as to the consequ...

Meaning anarchy.
September 26, 2019 at 12:03
Better yet, would you like to live in such a world where strangers come up and tell you to kill yourself?
September 26, 2019 at 11:57
Use those eyes for once and read before you reply.
September 26, 2019 at 11:46
Again, read before replying.
September 26, 2019 at 11:42
Why ever say 'I love you' when 'Kill yourself' with loving intent works the same, is that it?
September 26, 2019 at 11:32
I don't see how loving intent produces a threat, because it'll poke your eyes out, but threats are produced by threatening intent.
September 26, 2019 at 11:09
I don't feel very loved when I'm threatened, so no - it couldn't. But go ahead, if you have an example, present it.
September 26, 2019 at 10:57
Go ahead and threaten me with loving intent.
September 26, 2019 at 10:47
And where's the vague harm in those? They're clearly malicious.
September 26, 2019 at 10:45
What's vague about death threats and slander?
September 26, 2019 at 10:42
And you don't see the harm in that?
September 26, 2019 at 10:32
Are you actually endorsing that?
September 26, 2019 at 10:27
The world is a bad place and there's no point in living, so why have kids? Reminds me of an old folktale, where a boy refuses to wash 'cause he'll jus...
September 26, 2019 at 10:23
To say it even simpler - overindulgence is harmful. The Middle Path is no different from Goldilocks' just right.
