Yes, the first essay was excellent, read it earlier this afternoon. Did you read Pristine Culture? I didn't really enjoy it. Perhaps in part from havi...

Man, I'm so wary of these types of faceless content creators who churn out videos that are seen by hundreds of thousands of people, mainly young and i...

Thanks to Brexit, Americans have moved past the notion that the posh British accent denotes higher intelligence

Oh my Christ you people complain about this nonsense all the time, all the god damn time, shut up, go outside, get fresh air, this is so dumb

Pretty straightforward illustration of how bullshit the 'Both Sides" approach is and a candid approach to such an interlocuter is to tell them how man...

These types of anti-natalists are lunatics

Sounds like you just included yourself in that inane/insane posters group, so that does work out all nice and tidy.

For adults it's initially amusing until it quickly devolves into repetition which it typically does when one side isn't capable of having a dialectica...

I don't mind young people on the forum; I was I think either 19 or 20 when I first joined the original PF. What I mind is wasting time with a moronic ...

Actually this is a great alternative example. Rather than showing his age in his bio, he says Roger Scruton is his favorite philosopher. Can easily ig...

If I were you guys and I reinterpreted someone talking about age verification, which couldn't even be accurately enforced, to "we should ban anyone un...

That's right

Users should be required to show their age in their 'About' section, not wasting my time arguing with someone if they are under 23 years old, which I ...

I'm going to go commit a murder and use this as an excuse I'll let everyone know how it works out.

Honestly baffling how people like this can possibly function day-to-day in real life.

Look at what they say in the first paragraph (my bolded emphasis): "yes Israel is an apartheid state, yes Israel engages in systematic oppression and ...

Here's a thought: just because you are incapable of sympathy doesn't mean everyone incapable of it, and therefore are "virtue signalling" or "feigning...
