This is meaningless: This isn't: Why is that? :chin: Edit: I get what you're saying as far as "once you talk about anything it's 'something'". That sa...
Exactly what you would expect them to be, in the context of the physical world. "Nothing" obviously being as close to a "true vacuum" as physically po...
Again, you refuse to define (and maintain a constant definition of) "transgender people". I already caught you in one backtrack you won't own up to. Y...
One might argue, "nothing" is merely a descriptor that refers to the absence of, well, any thing. It doesn't "come from" anywhere. It's the result of ...
I think it might be better said "the act of procreation", specifically in times when 60% of children didn't survive past age 5, contrasted to modern t...
Ok, in principle I believe that. I don't like the AI link. There's no reason it had to take "AI" to reach that conclusion. I'm not saying it doesn't t...
Grifters who'd perform unneeded surgery on their own mother for the chance to get even one extra dime out of the bottomless money well that is insuran...
Finally, we get to the meat of the issue. Two relevant questions that immediately come to mind. 1.) How intimate are you with neuroscience? Could you ...
What is a brain that doesn't match the body? How would it even function? Again, per my above post, this has turned into a discussion about conformity ...
This is a point I touched on earlier. The average person tends to be uncultured, dumb, basically borderline deficient, and so much more. To these peop...
So, your pants turned into.. a pant? :wink: (We had a long discussion about the nature of words specifically plural-implied words such as "pants" in t...
I once watched a documentary on a child with CIP (congenital insensitivity to pain). While fascinating, it was tragic. Apparently the kid would run in...
@"Wayfarer": Have you looked into the "$199 Book Publishing on Amazon | Publish on Amazon Now!" promotion Amazon (Kindle Direct Publishing) is running...
Oh believe me, so did I! We'd get along swimmingly, I imagine. If I were a monarch and in charge of these once-prestigious linguistic institutions let...
@"Banno", @"Philosophim", @Anybody Else: An old anecdote about the varying and shifting (yet consistently valid) definitions of words across generatio...
New word installed. @"Jamal" should appreciate this one. I think. (Note if you want to make it more difficult you can choose to view or not view the h...
Take your prize and get out. Jk :razz: :party: Winner! The currently selected word was SCURRILOUS! :party: It took you (0) full word OR single letter ...
Yes! There are (2) instances of the letter "R" in the currently selected word. S _ _ R R _ _ _ _ S Unfortunately I no longer have any hints due to the...
Again, there's no "me" or "you" as far as this debate is concerned. There's ideals, truths (Uppercase and lowercase), and underlying realities (yes pl...
Alas, your disinclination to ultimately "say" such was rightfully heeded. Though I appreciate your solicitous nature as far as eagerness to participat...
That is not the specific given word. Also, no, the letter "A" is not present in the 10-letter given word. Though, as a semi-hint, perhaps those who ar...
Right here we go with the fallen world logic. The "average man" is, historically, for all intent and purpose, a monster. A horrific abomination that f...
Oh, okay. We refer to people whose gender is unknown and impolite to assume as "they." Yes, I do that too! My mistake. Sorry about that. Carry on. And...
Them? I see one post that mentions anything of the sort. Are you seeing double? People pile things on yes. But, many a time, it is but our own mind th...
Yes! There are (2) occurrences of the letter "S" in the currently selected word. S _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ S Snake eyes! Well, at least a letter commonly asso...
Oh I'm absolutely sure of that. This is the Lounge after all. I enjoy taking my thinking cap off here, if that's alright. Right, that's not quite what...
How would one best explain how "modal logic" differs from standard logic (ie. if I smell smoke, there's fire) in a very simple way but that doesn't "c...
The thanks is appreciated. Frankly I didn't think this thread would come this far. :chin: New word, and it's one of my favorites. Learned it from TPF,...
:party: Winner! The currently specified word was CLEARHEADED! :party: It took you (1) full worded guess and (1) single letter guess to claim victory. ...
Yes! There are (2) occurrences of the letter "A" in the currently specified word. _ _ E A _ _ E A _ E _ You just might have this one in the bag, "A?" ...
Of course, because it shows what an animal who laps at the bosom of primal lust without any deep meaning really is. His is a scathing commentary on ho...
To be fair mine was written well in advance. And it was funny. The classic "everything's fine" in a situation where it's clearly not. You have people ...
This. This is the only way to experience a new place. By ignoring it completely in lieu of your own devices and manner in which you've become accustom...
As usual my own generosity is my own undoing. :wink: Yes! There is not only (1) but (3) instances of the letter "E" in the currently selected word. _ ...
Another synonym, yet not the currently selected word. Both your full-word guesses so far are "what one could or perhaps hope to aspire to be" as a res...
The letter "O" is not present in the currently selected word, unfortunately. If it were anyone else I'd have to punch your ticket as far as consecutiv...
The letter "S" is not present in the currently selected word, no. However, as an additional free hint, the word (or concept) is the "s"-ense of effect...
The letter "P" is not present in the currently selected word, no. However, as a free hint, the word (or concept) might only be possible if someone "do...
In a sentence, it's a phenomena of the mind, chiefly pattern recognition or seeing the cohesion (similarity) that all machinations of this world (biot...
I had this reply as a saved draft, but originally decided not to post it due to it seeming "spammy" or non-genuine. But in light of @"T Clark"'s scath...
Right. That's not only my but the general sentiment of the active participants in this thread at this time. Mm, that's not what I've been made aware o...
If your life depended on a person flipping a coin a million times in a row. Would you rather be killed if the person ended up flipping heads or tails ...
No, because that's proof they're treating the root issue by avoiding the problem by using their own willpower. The dynamic you mentioned (or someone m...
While that may be a good idea, it should be mentioned that bannings are inherently personal. Are they not? :smile: Note: I didn't mean to suggest that...
Metaphorical band-aid on a wound that ultimately requires something else. Couldn't hurt, sure. In fact it might even help, until people start to think...
