Bro did you partake of a little Easter..."sauce" this year???

Yup. It's 4am. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KcU6w1Pr5gc

Don't look to me for that. Edited for longevity: and why edit for brevity?

*shrug* I'm not trying to set an agenda.

Are you not interested in finding out what your assumptions are?

It's a simple act of reflection. What am I assuming? It's very useful. I don't think you're making any one particular assumption, and that's why I was...

All of that is too vague, though. There's an assumption of what reality is that we all make, when we say we think there's a reality. What's yours? See...

So how should we apprehend the reality?

If there's a charade, then there must be a reality behind the joke, eh?

I was attempting to point out that you said Which suggested that "no one can comment on argument and fully understand it until they have also experien...

Yikes, hard to wade through this with all the ad homs. I get it's sensitive material. But why is it? The actual topic of sources shouldn't be so sensi...

We live in a technological world of horror and terror. All around us are technologies of dread and nightmare. Consider the awesome horror of human tec...

There's nothing sacred about technologies used for mass murder, technologies used to feed addictions, etc. Those technologies might elicit awe (as in ...

I just re-clicked it from here to listen again, and noticed it started in the middle (at one of the best moments), but you should go back and listen t...

Sounds like your gout helped you understand Hume's argument. Doesn't sound meaningless.

Actually, ya do seem so close. What causes ya' ta' brake'off saw?

Nah, lad, but yer close. Oh so close. Do keep tryin'

Oh, clearly :love: your posts are so scintillatingly devoid of emotional appeal, it's simply seductive.

By the way, do you only respond to posts that allow you an opportunity to look smart? For instance, I'm waiting on a reply from you in the thread name...

Oh, then show me. Clearly my memory is "deplorable" (is that a nifty enough word for your ivy-league standard?)

I remember post after post where you ripped him/her to shreds. Was that some sort of Darth Vader tactic that I was unaware of?

Now you're on @"Pseudonym"'s side once @"Agustino" joins in. :rofl: Why is this jig so familiar?

No, not about terminology.

So you don't care?

What do you think, personally?

pffft :rofl: Try acting like anything other than an overly attached significant other.

So is your lack of response an acknowledgment of my point? That you find the bible boring because you haven't properly studied it, regardless of the f...

Interesting. I'm not Jewish, but the reading I've done on the religion/people in conjunction with what I know about the Bible (from a conservative Eva...

Are you comfortable sharing what you love about it? "Girgashite" is a name that's close to my heart.

Nice, were you raised in a religious household?

It's boring to a non-Jewish western reader because we're not familiar with the culture. A commensurate knowledge of the bible as a whole comes from di...

My fav quasi-atheistic memory verse!!

Check out Job. Also Lamentations.

Are you sure that’s not Aleister Crowley?

I have so many pet peeves about big words that sound impressive. Vis-a-vis is one. Say it as simply as possible, people.

And yet you're a horse.

That'll larn ya'

Did we discuss this already? Loved the recent movie with Gary Oldman, but haven't seen the OG TV series. It's just a generational thing, I think, but ...

Was she not interested in the roast itself?

Nah, malaprop is better.

Oooo, aso, liminal. Liminal is...liminal.

Where exactly do "Word of the Day", "The Last Word", and "The Shoutbox" intersect? In particular, I've never quite understood the nuances of "The Last...

Malaprop is nice; especially in the context of the forum.

What is contemporary liberalism? That's the real question.

Good points. There’s nothing more enraging than band members or session players who come in unprepared, or try to fight my instructions. Play it how I...

Oh right: ______ always makes me think of that time I accidentally ______, causing a an unexpected chain of events, culminating in ______.

Not everything that can be counted is worth having a clever maxim made in it’s honor, and not everything that counts can be turned into a clever maxim...

Well said; my experience is similar. It's also interesting to note that the large majority of engineers I've encountered were pursuing music at one po...

I think i'm going in for the "meta"-why questions; the two-year-old questions. Why are we addicted to social media? When we say "addiction", is it fig...
