Which evidence is that?

I think it's simpler than that. Beauty is an experience that's self evident. Today at work I helped a girl who I've seen from time to time, and she al...

Sounds good to me.

I didn't know you were a tiktok influencer.

:fire:

Huh; I guess I'm a peasant and never tried doing that. They don't peal walnuts for janitors like me.

Also, regard the fundamentalist atheists here. Apathy, I've found, is the best response to this particular cult.

There's a whole rabbit hole to go down on this forum if you're up for it: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/1980/evidence-of-consciousness-sur...

Are we maybe talking about different things? The walnut of course has the outer shell, but there's also what I described as the "husk" (maybe erroneou...

Are they raw in this context? When I buy walnuts to put on salads, I think they're maybe roasted, and the bitter husk is just a thin layer that someti...

Janitorial, yes. The bitterness of the husk of the walnut works in different contexts, but they don't work as a stand-alone snack in the way almonds d...

I had my first job interview in 4 years today. It was good to get back out there. Rustling up these old dead leaves in the corner.

:chin: Don't have much experience with actual hazelnuts. Walnuts are utilitarian for me; the cheapest, and they fill out my workday lunch salads corre...

I'm a big proponent of trying to split almonds perfectly down the middle with my teeth. I'm sure there's some Freudian reason why.

Just don't eat all of them in one sitting; you'll probably die.

Whatever it is needs to be done, that's how you do it, yeah.

What are these ideal conditions?

The Magus of Strovolos by Kyriacos C. Markides

It didn't until Debby joined.

No, I was talking about how my friend Debby is a 94th degree Freemason.

Yeah, Debby was a tourist.

Fuck, why does this massive object keep following me? I run over to the hole in the wall, Debby beside me. That massive object lands on her; the sound...

It's 94 in NYC. :groan:

Thanks to you, @"Caldwell" and @"180 Proof". Looking forward to the December round.

Yes indeed. Sort of meant that as a joke, but also true about the heat wave.

I do not live in the UK or anywhere near it, but yes, it was pretty hot around here. So yes, it was hot in the UK.

Yep. Same.

It's like Fight Club; now we know we're both in it...? What...? Sure, but religion's objective is different than arguments for or against the trinity.

I'm too dumb to catch half of those references, sorry. All I'm saying is the trinity is bullocks. :pray:

That's probably the logic at the core of any Christian theologist, yaah. Then you just construct a bewildering web of faulty logical proofs around it ...

Oh, same. I probably just also have ADHD. Weird combo. I can probably write endless blocks of text with no end in sight pretty easily. I've been known...

:yikes: thanks for taking the time to do that. It’s definitely way better. I suppose my lack of experience shows. Helpful feedback for the future, no ...

A Czech stripper living in Polish BK. :chin:

Damn, I was hoping the non-existence of the station was true. :razz:

:chin:

I had a much more intricate story idea pretty fully fleshed out, but ran into a wall when it came to the writing, so I whipped this flash fiction toge...

:brow: Like I said, I'll reserve further comment for when the threads are re-opened.

:lol: I tried to hide it by switching the location to London ("the tube", etc), which clearly failed. I'll get more into it, but this was a last minut...

Yeah, this round has been a bit lackluster when it comes to participation, so I see no reason to delay. You're correct, I wrote A Sort of Duel. Lookin...

No author guesses?

Depends on how tasty the fish is.

Thought I said this but the link is boken

Mine too. Not to worry.

The link doesn't work.

Oh yeah babe, Jackson got banned.

Isn't there already an elephant in this particular room?
