I'll message him. You think they get 5G in the bunker?

I think Agustino might need a welfare check. He MIA?

I hear the sequel has been cancelled?

It's been a wild four years.

:-!

That's not what I was saying though, is it? My point wasn't that it's true because lots of people believe it. My point was that it's not nonsense beca...

(a) ah, the I-don't-understand-it-so-it-must-be-bullshit-even-though-other-reasonable-people-get-it stance (b) whether people should be allowed to say...

So you are using it in another one of its senses so as to make it a category error. Regardless, it doesn't really matter whether I use the word 'valid...

You've been watching too many TED talks.

There's only so much psychopathology masquerading as badphil one can take. It's better for everyone this way, lest I have a Falling Down moment.

..no, for reasons you had literally just quoted. Keep up.

It clearly isn't if you know what the words valid and category error mean. Is it 'acceptable' for papers to be objectifying female politicians? No. Is...

So if you can't focus on every aspect of the two women all the time, it's just as valid to focus on their legs as it is the political issues at hand b...

As someone who's radically sceptical of everything except what comes out his own mouth, it's pretty obvious you only accept that article as 'fact' bec...

If you want to know the truth about someone, ask them what they think is true of everyone else.

Thoughts on DUP coalition? Odds of May resigning?

Ok. Don't become an aphorist.

I don't know what this means.

About me being a Stoic. I did appreciate them once but I find it alienating from what it means to be human - like the way it deals with losing loved o...

Fair enough, but you are wrong.

Err, citation needed? I know for a fact I've never said that. This is the second time you've insisted I call myself a Stoic, and the second time I've ...

You really don't get it, do you? Your own logic could have just ended the conversation. But rather than abandon it, you dug your heels in. It's like w...

And therein lies the absurdity of your self-refuting position. That was an easy one to address.

This is an internet forum, you shouldn't have such idealistic expectations. Don't you know shitposting is how internet discussions work in the real wo...

Don't have a go at Wayfarer I'm the one who started the circle jerk 8-)

I agree, I don't know why I bother. I hope I'm not as insufferable as some of the other pessimists on this forum can be at times. Pessimism seems to t...

Bloody good job he didn't do anything that could possibly lead to his impeachment then. I see you're currently enrolled in the Hardcore Realist School...

Absolutely not. The president is the head of the executive branch - not Emperor. It was at least inexcusably inappropriate (and possibly obstruction o...

I could ask that question on a psychology forum but that doesn't mean it requires a psychological answer does it? It was a simple question so it's a b...

Could you give a clearer answer? That's far too philosophical an answer to quite a straight forward question. Don't over think it.

Do you think Trump has a good grasp on the truth, the law, the constitution and the meaning of the presidency?

This isn't quite accurate. - Being Mortal, Atul Gawande, pp. 31-32. So it's not quite clear which view is correct. It doesn't seem to be the case that...

fascist :P

I'd have voted for them if the 'surge' some had predicted had materialised, but it hasn't if the polls are accurate to any degree. My vote would be wa...

Our Overton window is sufficiently far to the right that Corbyn looks relatively radical compared to the norm. There's also a great deal of media bias...

Something's not right here. Has LGU clockwork oranged Banno?

The more free a market is the more it tends towards corruption and all sorts of harmful inequalities.

I see no reason why God can't achieve these future goods without putting innocent and good people through such gratuitous suffering in the process. He...

Err, the statistics are most certainly not "baseless fear-mongering". Unless you think the Office of National Statistics are into that sort of thing (...

You come in here and make the point with far fewer words than I did and in a fraction of the time it took for me to write my post. Git.

Of course intentions matter, which is why terrorism is a bigger problem than road traffic accidents despite causing fewer fatalities. But intentions m...

Spot on. The scale of terrorism related deaths are relatively minuscule compared to austerity policies enacted by governments of a certain political l...

What exactly do you mean by post-modernism? And who are the post-modernists?

The fact you picked a rose for your example in the first place shows you're beginning with the conclusion that life is actually comparable to a rose; ...

Suffering is necessary in life, but life is not necessary. So suffering can be avoided, and that can be desirable depending on your moral framework. I...

I don't think so. You can think suffering shouldn't exist and also understand the necessity of suffering for the survival of life as you have describe...

?

It's amazing how the climate change 'scepticism' of a few political and corporate elites, who have pretty obvious hidden agendas (money, ideology & po...

I think you've got a gripe with something that may or may not be a problem in society, but have jumped on what I've said in a case of mistaken identit...

I'm just making sure I understand you before I fully commit myself to abject despair. If the only thing that would prevent a racist from assaulting an...
