Noble Dust

Sorry about your headache! It must be unbearable. Aside from the obvious questions, my only question is...why is it that if I enjoy my life, yours is ...

There seem to be basic, agreed upon parameters for what defines specific forms of art. A painting on a canvas seems to be traditionally understood as ...

Heh, I was making a sarcastic joke about how threads like this one about the afterlife have been increasingly moved by Mods to the Lounge, a section o...

I love this topic. Sad to see it in the Lounge, as usual, nowadays. I would hesitantly take nostalgia one step further and say that, not only is it se...

Sayonara; off to the lounge with you!

Nice. A heavy hitter member posts a Rolling Stone article, and it doesn't get moved to the lounge. Quite a high quality post.

Yerba Mate all deh Breh

Oy, I'm glad to see some activity on this thread, but I worry that we're just divulging into a dick measuring contest about obscure words, which was c...

And we live in a world where moderators make their cases for why they move threads via middle-school-level ad homs. And this is a strategy that anyone...

All I know is that you spell your husband's name with a capital K at the end of his name, which tells me that the two of you are doing something right...

The Upanishads

I know you won't. What I really know is that folks like yourself will never even entertain the reality of something non-physical. Let's cut to the cha...

Jainism is the entry point to the thread. Try again.

Bullshit. You're saying that the question of heaven vs hell, within Jainism specifically is not worthy of the Philosophy of Religion sub-forum?

I edited my post to include STLX, but I'm not sure if that hits the notification system. So, @"StreetlightX", why was this thread moved to the lounge?

Why is thread in the lounge rather than Phil of Religion? @"StreetlightX"

uh, so this exists...and is real https://www.cia.gov/library/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00788R001700210016-5.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0cjjTz9QoH8vpA1U1j9ILKfwNN...

I've been looking for this word without fully realizing it, thanks. I may have to add you to the credits to my next album...

:clap:

:fire: I relate to this.

28 hours sounds promising. I've heard tell of a 48 hour cycle. Again, I'm only a consumer of pizza, not a creator. Go forth! May your dough become mag...

What's your current fermentation time?

Yes, my friend. Why is there such a culinary trend in the shoutbox these days? I certainly have no experience fermenting my own dough...but as a NYC p...

Believe it or not, my enjoyment of both turgid and turbid as words is purely poetic; but the potential for sexual jokes was not lost on me. I prefer t...

The cloudiness of a liquid. Also reminded me of turgid, another old fav.

This is all a ploy to make sure you don't triangulate my signal.

"South Brooklyn" used to refer to essentially south of Atlantic Ave (on the Western side) through to Red Hook, maybe all the way to what's considered ...

Trust me, I'm not in a brownstone, and I'm paying pocket change when it comes to NY rent (knock on wood!!!) I'm relieved. And yet somehow sad. You got...

I can only assume you took detailed notes on that drunken short non-fiction story I graced you all with a few months back; the one about going on a po...

That's weird, do you know my home address or something?

A word really tickled my fancy today, and I thought "why not start a word of the day thread?"... but something in the back of my mind felt like it alr...

Sounds like an agreeable situation. American farmers market mongers are pretty chill. Often you can tell that the people running the register are just...

Wa wa wa I just got the joke. Maybe that's what makes me funny; I have no sense of humor.

I don't know what that means.

I'll add my applause :clap:

Thanks for your wisdom in this thread. I feel like I'm eating philosophical kale.

Damn, no one gets my lame jokes anymore. Maybe I should start using more emojis, @"Agustino" style :rofl: :nerd: :monkey: :worry:

I hear the peaches down there are terrible.

I didn’t realize how uncommon black raspberries were until I moved out and started doing my own grocery shopping. My parents still live in that house,...

I was still joking and didn't actually think anything of it...but good to know I'm mostly in the clear. :groan: I feel very strongly about berries. I ...

This language seems completely false; a "master" of suicide would presumably be long gone. Does the master teach the apprentice? How can he if he has ...

That checks out. It's derogatory, but I guess in the micro-enclave of South Brooklyn NYC, it's multi-faceted. If you want to accuse me of racism by us...

Please don't make me cry :cry: For grapes, the gnarlier and grumpier the better the wine. I'm just being an ignorant asshole and assuming that olives ...

What are "bad reasons" for suicide, versus "rational reasons"? This is way too loaded. At least for me, as a suicidal greenhorn. "Opting out" being a ...

:fear: Oh shit I barked up the wrong tree! From my pitiful little olive research, Castelvetrano's come from the eponymous region in Sicily, but the ol...

I sense your emotion on this subject; it seems important to state my own position: I've entertained suicide on a hypothetical level. Amongst those who...

Is blending a salad wrong?

The problem is that we often don't know when someone needs a helping hand. And to suggest that it's dignified to let someone determine their own life ...

Just wondering if anyone else share's my love of olives? Castelvetranos are the go-to. And don't come at me with that pitted nonsense.

Anyone watch that German show Dark on Netflix? Finished that recently. Mixed feelings, but very well done. Definitely a fairly philosophical show, as ...
