Bah. I'm trying to get into this but none of the exchanges are accepting photos of my ID when I'm trying to verify my account. If I miss out on a big ...

This is more unbelievable than wine turning into blood.

He should be careful, considering the severe burn I just gave. Or maybe Baden is planning to transubstantiate Agustino into ash?
December 06, 2017 at 11:48
Less than the amount needed to make sense of and justify a belief in transubstantiation.

Guy at work sold a bitcoin yesterday. He still has one left. Him and another have also invested in litecoin. I'm tempted to join in.

So Catholics are cannibals and vampires?

Are you wearing that t-shirt as a dress? Or do you just have really short shorts on as well?

For just a second I forgot who his wife is.

I have something like that. There's a particular routine I have to do before going to bed (checking taps and heating and the doors), and if I'm interr...

If they have the same history, and if determinism is the case, then wouldn't they also have the same future? Edit: I'm sure I recall you claiming to b...

I think so: 1. only physical things exist 2. only exist 3. only discovers] exist It's also vacuous. It just amounts to the claim that only the things ...

It's a common thing, which I believe is why so few pedophiles seek psychiatric help. They're terrified of the stigma. I think there was a documentary ...

They're the same in that they're both sexual attraction. They're different in that one is towards children and the other towards Fire Fighters. Your q...
December 05, 2017 at 11:44
Sexual attraction to children isn't illegal. Sexual activity with a child is illegal.
December 05, 2017 at 11:40
Yes.
December 05, 2017 at 11:35
They either admit to their attraction (and often seek psychiatric help) or they never get labelled a pedophile, even though they are.
December 05, 2017 at 11:31
All attraction is non-voluntary. I don't choose to be attracted to women, or to this woman in particular.

If we're going to be technical then paedophilia is pre-pubescent children. It's ephebiphilia (?) for adolescents, but even then only if it's the exclu...

But you do know what it would mean for quantum fields to be primary? Personally, I don't actually understand much of physics (especially quantum mecha...

I wonder if that's what charleton means, then. Data streams are ontologically primary, and all other things (brains, hands, trees, etc.) are emergent ...
December 04, 2017 at 11:34
Is that any different to saying that it's quantum fields (or whatever) all the way down?
December 04, 2017 at 11:29
Sorry, my question wasn't worded well. What I meant to ask is; what does it mean for a thing to be a law of physics? Is a law of physics just whatever...
December 04, 2017 at 11:03
And the laws of physics are?

So, I correctly guessed Manafort then Flynn. Let's see if I can make it three for three. Next is Kushner.

Right, sorry, don't know the answer to that. Only that she was considered because she asked.
December 04, 2017 at 00:01
Sorry, I don't understand what this means.
December 03, 2017 at 23:59
I believe she asked.

Ah, I just added that (and some others) into my post. I like the last one.

That's what happens when you fall for a cult of personality. He's so invested in Trump that he'll go along with anything. He's probably one of the 60%...

He does seem delusional. Apparently he still believes that Obama's birth certificate is fake, and that it wasn't him on the Access Hollywood tape. And...
