I can't think of anything, actually. Most, myself included, simply don't have the gift. Or the receiving end is... "not compatible". Like a CD player ...

Without reading the previous five pages, this seems to instead ask: "Was the Big Bang really the beginning of the universe?" or perhaps "Are there oth...

That which possesses a quality that sufficiently distinguishes itself from its surroundings or environment in an observable way; that which is distinc...

An interesting read and nice OP. However as someone said on here before, it would be logical to assume religion(s) and god(s) came about from the init...

Gotta right click > Open in New Private Window. Actually, it gives you the rigamarole for reasons I posted earlier. So already have the private window...

That's more like the Internet in general. Jamal has a nice crown icon in the Discord I saw, so anyone who is foolish enough yet on a philosophy site t...

"Whoops... Unable to accept invite" You know, I can't say I appreciate my emotions being toyed with to such a degree. (though that's probably per reas...

I actually really enjoyed that one. Moral of the story: "Don't disobey your parents." As well as: "Disobedience and the hidden acts it brings about en...

Seems like it'd get kinda boring after the first few thousand years or so... Besides, respect, rather, social admiration, specifically the need for it...

I could process maybe three words out of that: breakfast, first, and recommended. Still. Love the IRL food posts! It's like playing Where in the World...

What differentiates this particular specific discussion from the standard run-of-the-mill cultural following of what is popular though? :chin: Before ...
August 14, 2024 at 02:42
What's standing in your way? You seem like a rather intelligent well-to-do fellow, perhaps with his fair share of quirks. As do we all. I for one woul...
August 05, 2024 at 14:10
It seems balanced and well enough as it is. Sure you don't want it to turn into Reddit where "lol" and "i agree" make up the majority of replies to OP...

What is that discoloration on the right pepper, on its bottom left? Is that part of the stem or a natural formation of the specie? Just want to make s...

Oddly humble. Go you!
July 25, 2024 at 10:33
Huh, that's unique. The choice of bread. Unless that's a "thing" in that particular locale, I wouldn't know. I furthermore was not aware there was a "...

I am currently about to enjoy a reheated McDonald's Quarter Pounder with Bacon. It is, in my locale, Number 2B, ironically invoking the old question "...

We should all have a cook out together and exchange our deepest fears and desires, for the two are closely linked forever intertwined, and together en...

You know what they say the old gimmick is. The saltiest foods produce the thirstiest (high-paying) customers. I do appreciate a good hard-boiled egg t...
July 21, 2024 at 10:05
What is 'ol Jamal up to as of late? Any new moss treks to share? Breakfast to complain about? Humor me. I could use some good news right about now.
July 21, 2024 at 09:00
Not being bound in chains from infancy and fed water and paste until one dies of natural causes is "not necessary" for almost all humans. So, that, in...

Ladies and gentlemen, the (former) President of the United States has just been shot (at). Nothing like this has happened before since the Kennedy era...

So that's why my opossums have been restless as of late. I reconnected the polarities and aligned the chakras, but forgot to shake off the aura! Such ...

So basically, things outside of our control exist and are "a thing". That's correct. I had no control over who my biological father impregnated and wh...
July 09, 2024 at 13:24
Well that's reasonable, well and good, and all in between. It just remains of a personal curiosity to me why some words (or rather, the animals repres...

Honestly, I just found it odd an Internet search for "wolverine" (brought about to determine if there is a word for "being wolf-like", that is to say ...

I recently discovered people from the U.S. state of Michigan are referred (informally) to as "wolverines", for some reason, apparently. I found that t...

If there is such a thing as a "world" you call "fake" you seem to have the need to bolster defenses against, perhaps it begs a question as to your own...

Sweet vindication. :cool:
July 05, 2024 at 23:15
Now I know where to find you. The door's exterior painting and architecture postulates a positive unmistakable location from a deep web AI search. I k...

It's probably a reasonable variable that there is a distinct difference in persons who voluntarily complete surveys, versus those who do not. That is ...
July 04, 2024 at 15:56
These particular things do in fact make up the end result of "consciousness" but do not define themselves as the bare minimums to achieve such. Grante...

The pig is clearly defined. Though I feel the alleged "humans" present in the diagram are but a stretch of the reporter's imagination. From all eviden...

I feel like there's a best way to frame the underlying rationale and question, which is, are some actions advantageous compared to others? People comm...

I think in many ways a philosopher is somewhat of a mystic, wouldn't you say? Open to the fact one's reality could be completely incorrect, in ways pr...
July 03, 2024 at 18:21
I just saw this as a bait thread. That is to say, could be exploited as such. "Think of things that piss you off, go on, it's allowed, in fact, it's t...
July 02, 2024 at 19:32
I too noticed this. Rationally, I tried to think why one says "in your heart" or, far that matter "in your mind", as some sort of required preface to ...
July 02, 2024 at 17:36
Ah, greed. Where to begin. There's the old saying: "if you don't do it, somebody else will anyway." In relation to modern economic systems, it's proba...
July 02, 2024 at 15:18
I don't see what warrants such a claim or comparison at all, frankly. I simply take a man for his words. "Intolerable" means "fundamentally interrupts...
July 02, 2024 at 07:11
You do seem to ban an awful lot of people, yes, so, I wouldn't put it past the possibility someone is just messing with you. One would hope in a light...
July 01, 2024 at 22:18
Again it's just a manifestation. Takes the form which would best lead to actualization or following a (presumably?) right path. Unless you got somethi...

You don't have to wish anything. Act against your fellow man's right to expression, and, oh, let's wish you good fortune, your current existence will ...

So, at the end of the day, it requires respect of life to allow one to be in a position to create, let's say a bomb, to end all intelligent life, on E...
July 01, 2024 at 20:32
Or, you could simply end up brutally killed. As of course is an outcome in many horror movies. But rest assured generally results in at least some sor...
July 01, 2024 at 19:51
Well, presumably so, you'd begin a quest of either spiritual (or in a lesser/greater sense moral, whatever you may be lacking in that defines the othe...
July 01, 2024 at 19:48
Sounds like the start of a good horror movie, to be honest.
July 01, 2024 at 19:34
Gladly. It's so beneath my effort I require a few sips to simply fit the role, naturally. Oh "they decided" you mean, they noticed the fact of the rea...
July 01, 2024 at 19:22
Well, keep in mind, while you're the most valuable, you're also the most infrequently or leastly present. The employees reside there as well. You know...

That's interesting. I'm not a fan of excessive nearly offensive decibel level myself. It's almost as if someone is trying to hide something that would...
