Has the cheque from the Trump Foundation arrived on your doorstep?

It's "Zeus", and they were made by the Cyclopes.

First charges filed in Mueller investigation Guess he found something. Must be Manafort.

Did you click the link?

From now on this shall be my only source of news.

I didn't say that being logically consistent is sufficient to describe reality. I only said that only logically consistent statements describe reality...
October 27, 2017 at 19:52
Would you say that reality is true or would you say that only true statements describe reality? If the latter, then perhaps it's more correct to say t...

If the answer to the question is just persuasive and not explanatory then it's sophistry. Some (especially moral realists) will want more than that.
October 27, 2017 at 17:48
You're trying to argue that there's an external world, and yet one of your premises amounts to "there is an external world". That's question-begging. ...
October 27, 2017 at 16:10
You're not making any sense. If 4 doesn't say anything about there being an external world then 5 can't derive anything about an external world from i...
October 27, 2017 at 16:05
Then how do you derive 5 from 3 and 4?
October 27, 2017 at 16:03
That there is an external world.
October 27, 2017 at 15:59
Because it doesn't address my point that your example has nothing to do with the universe being rational. We just make certain assumptions about how t...
October 27, 2017 at 15:38
How is this relevant?
October 27, 2017 at 15:37
Your example has nothing to do with the universe being rational. The rat has just made either a correct or an incorrect assumption that he won't get s...
October 27, 2017 at 15:34
Presumably it's the Principle of Sufficient Reason. Why is something right or wrong? I suppose it's a way to avoid relativism. What if my ethical intu...
October 27, 2017 at 14:44
You've missed the point. You can't go from "I can only know of X except through Y" to "only Y exists". So if we consider the above, 2 doesn't entail 1...

I might only know that someone has been walking on the beach because I see footprints, but it doesn't then follow that those footprints are all there ...
October 27, 2017 at 13:23
So the issue is "describing payments for opposition research as 'legal services' is entirely misleading and subverts the reporting requirements."? Tha...
October 27, 2017 at 11:34
Huh? I don't need to cover my ears. I didn't press the play button. I did just say I didn't watch it. I'm asking you what they said. (I don't watch ne...
October 27, 2017 at 11:26
Didn't watch. What do they say?
October 27, 2017 at 11:22
October 27, 2017 at 10:37
A premise begs the question if it assumes the conclusion. Whether or not a premise is true has no bearing on whether or not it begs the question. Both...
October 27, 2017 at 08:34
I'm saying that you've begged the question.
October 27, 2017 at 06:31
Your wife should already have one.
October 26, 2017 at 17:50
Hmmm...
October 26, 2017 at 16:10
I'm going to guess that you've been consuming alcohol.
October 26, 2017 at 16:06
To lap someone is to pass them in a race after already being ahead of them (e.g. you're on your second lap and they're still on their first). I was re...
October 26, 2017 at 15:57
? Do you know what it means to "lap" someone?
October 26, 2017 at 15:53
Did you lap her, too? Because that would have been counterproductive.
October 26, 2017 at 15:49
Agustino is clearly a closet Lothario.
October 26, 2017 at 15:46
That's why you started running after her; because she was out of sight and you wanted to check out her ass.
October 26, 2017 at 15:44
She was tired of you checking out her ass.
October 26, 2017 at 15:41
Invest in a lasso, then.

Sounds painful. Better to run on your feet.

The secret to getting girls is to look like one, because all women are lesbians.™
October 26, 2017 at 15:29
Yep. Although the nail polish was a one-off for a night out, and I don't dye my hair anymore. Still all about the eyeliner though.
October 26, 2017 at 15:09
You look like you have the hips of a woman.
October 26, 2017 at 15:00
@"TimeLine", found a couple more. Here's me in Cambodia. /uploads/files/7m/s6v3bcsa9mrb8p81.png And here's the one that I think @"Sapientia" remembers...
October 26, 2017 at 14:32
I don't like having my photo taken. Also, don't have a camera.
October 26, 2017 at 13:30
OK, I've managed to find out that the photos of me as a Spartan are on page 127 of that thread. The Wayback Machine has page 126 and page 131 but noth...
October 26, 2017 at 13:27
Yeah, themed party at Uni.
October 26, 2017 at 13:10
I always have eyeliner on. But I'm referring to a couple where I was dressed as a Spartan from 300.
October 26, 2017 at 13:07
Aha, I found one of @"Wosret" showing off his hairy chest. I wonder if there's the one of me showing off my not-so-hairy chest...
October 26, 2017 at 13:01
I still don't know who you are (were). There's no "TimeLine" on the old site.
October 26, 2017 at 12:56
It's a shame the old site isn't working. There were lots of pictures of us. Tried to find the one of Wosret, but no luck.
October 26, 2017 at 12:52
Heh. Good callback.
