No? No response? An apology would at least be appreciated. We're both human beings here, with different experiences and different perspectives on life...

Colonialism has that effect, generally. Sometimes it's even a noticeable affect.
April 15, 2018 at 09:08
Oh by the way, how does this address the issue of weather your photos are Colonialism-lite? That's the topic at hand.

Who's the heretic? According to what? Embrace your inner devotee.
April 15, 2018 at 08:56
See, that's your problem. I stopped doing that shit years ago.
April 15, 2018 at 08:55
:cry: People don't like me either. Maybe we have a misunderstanding. Can we be fwiends? A theist and an atheist? It seems too perfect.
April 15, 2018 at 08:51
It's devastating, I know. Say it twice, and the movie's rated R.
April 15, 2018 at 08:48
Nah, as I said to @"TimeLine", fuck off.
April 15, 2018 at 08:46
I'm dying to know...

Do I pass the grade???
April 15, 2018 at 08:38
So by your logic, because I'm "from" New York (did I grow up there? Did I move there? Are we talking New York State, are we talking New York City?), a...

Oh dear Sappy, you just need to lighten up. I've taken to making bad jokes along the style of your own. BC didn't seem to get it. Maybe try being less...
April 15, 2018 at 08:12
No really, I'd love to hear your argument for why your names for those animals are not Colonialism-lite.
April 15, 2018 at 08:09
It's really a great track. Kendrick always destroys. I love hearing him doing is own voice as a character. I also have soft spot for this: https://www...
April 15, 2018 at 07:58
An argument?
April 15, 2018 at 07:40
Oh, it's an insult, now I see. Nice edit.
April 15, 2018 at 07:36
What?
April 15, 2018 at 07:34
Colonialism-lite doesn't get much worse than that.
April 15, 2018 at 07:31
Are they really that different, though? I was in agreement with a lot of the unpopular points you were bringing up, until here. I think your whole OP ...

Because suffering is inherently meaningful, which is to say that desire is the limit of philosophy. That's why I left academic philosophy.

Lilith - George MacDonald Third time trying to get through this pre-Tolkien pseudo-fantasy/fairy-tale epic. It's actually crazy philosophical. Crazy o...
April 14, 2018 at 08:58
Hey, Posty. Is meaning inherently sufferingful? Yes.
April 14, 2018 at 08:38
Right...concurrently was the joke...

If I order fries from McDonalds, it's consupponible that, if I eat one fry, I will concurrently eat all the rest. No?...

Schmeh is more like this: :shade:
April 08, 2018 at 22:13
Catchy, amiright?
April 08, 2018 at 18:43
It’s a variant of “meh” yes, but the meaning is different, as I illustrated.
April 08, 2018 at 18:31
One of my favorite exclamations is “schmeh”. Denotes a complex feeling of apathy, ennui, disappointment, and indifference.
April 08, 2018 at 16:15
But how do we define "dingbat"?
April 08, 2018 at 15:28
No problem! Sometimes I think I'm talentless when it comes to philosophy, so don't beat yourself up... Thanks for that list, I recognize many of those...
April 08, 2018 at 06:14
Hmmm, I think with popular music, I haven't unlearned the album length as "full-length" yet. This is actually a fascinating topic, because I've been w...

Lol! I honestly don't know why I hate EPs. No good reason. I just don't like short releases. Nowadays I have so many friends who release EPs because i...

My favorite EP of all time, and I hate EPs: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BkFzSaAx4tI
April 07, 2018 at 06:00
Well I do agree; I guess by cult-like, I'm referring to the followers; maybe I'm exaggerating. He does seem to have been benign. Jeremy Irons yes, phy...
April 07, 2018 at 05:57
That's fair; I have a similar compunction towards Steiner. I'm attracted and repulsed. Is that the sign of a cult leader? Maybe. Actually, his "spirit...
April 07, 2018 at 05:25
Mysticism, theosophy, Steiner-isms... The unknown of the weird new-agey bookstore should be old hat, yeah?
April 07, 2018 at 05:01
There's some comedic (?) hyperbole there. Really, it's just a mild, ironic fear of the unknown... :razz:
April 07, 2018 at 04:55
Oh I know you weren't knocking him; I think your idea of reading about philosophers first is a solid idea, maybe just not with a figure like Steiner w...
April 07, 2018 at 03:55
Not sure I'd recommend books about Steiner; his followers are border-line cultists. Interestingly, Steiner did come up with biodynamics, which is a fa...
April 07, 2018 at 03:50
Steiner was a theosophist. Theosophy is an interesting, niche school of thought that doesn't hold a lot of water today, so it's not a great starting p...

Eating other animals is obviously wrong. But most of us do it anyway. It's not that profound.
April 06, 2018 at 08:42
Hoping the best for you and yours; shalom.
