We prefer a dynamic relationship, so it depends on who spoke their safeword last. :halo:

A tad off-topic, tho. :wink:

nah, children are considered "rational" "legally" from the moment they can be expected to understand that bad = no and good = yes, and that "x is bad ...

I certainly expected someone like you to find Borat funny. :vomit:

More like an autopoÏetic structure, that creates and maintains a boundary against an appreciation for modern and postmodern (and soon hypermodern) int...

You might want to dig deeper into your own laws before assuming that it is so simple. s73 of the Electoral Administrative Act 2006 simply abolishes an...

And yet you accuse others of speaking platitudes. :vomit:

It's easy to laugh when your entire worldview is a caricature.

That question is essentially like wondering why is it that an entire car is capable of movement when that movement is entirely born out of motion of i...

Colbert lost a lot of magic coming out of the Colbert Report, but I'd argue it is almost entirely because he is now much less pretentious and arrogant...

The smallest measurement possible is a token of presence : if you can't measure something, you either haven't defined it well enough for measurement, ...

Because each parts are vested in the same context, from the same point of view, that of a singular organism. The problem of passive synthesis is solve...

I don't see where you read that. That simply means that some properties will appear as emergent as long as we have not found the proper scientific par...

So I guess that means you'd like to get cooked, lil' hamster? Come to think of it, I've eaten a lot of things, from insects to cat to sharks, but neve...

That little miss is both awesome and incredibly resolute for such a young gal.

I mean, I'd still prefer a flat in the 13e than just about anything anywhere in the U.S, but they'd both be pretty low in my list, relatively to every...

Sure, I guess that's why, when they moved the archives of the French Marine Museum from the 3rd to some buttfuck-nowhere Banlieue, they installed a ba...

This is so good, this warrants reposting in clearer format. Peterson is not just an objectionable intellectual, he is a poor intellectual. He makes ri...

No, he semi-correlates the possibility to render a set of properties meaningful at a level of explanation with the specificities of those levels. An e...

That would be puissiez. The tense is subjonctif présent.

'René' might not be the most virile masculine french name, still, no francophone would say that it is "homosexual-sounding", unlike, let's say, 'Guy'....

An inspiring sight!

Judith's expression is just too dumb on this one. "Wait, why is he screaming, and why is there all this red stuff coming out?". Like a debutante on a ...

Funnily enough, I much prefer "Judith beheading Holofernes" to Barrack's portrait.

And he is constantly saying horrific things like he does in this video. I once laughed at him loudly in a class because he had told us he didn't belie...

Not the issue, here. Jean-Luc Marion is a douche, yes, he's also one of the biggest philosopher of the last 20 years in France. "The next big name of ...

Without wanting to say that Marion is great or anything, he is an intellectual giant in the Francophone world. You may hate him (I do), but you only f...

Having met Jean-Luc Marion, I can attest that yes, he is just as arrogant and rude as he appears to be.

Jean Lyotard's The Postmodern Condition (1979) is the 1st text using the term, but Pomo will ark backwards to Nietzsche, Heidegger and Lacan. French P...

The idea itself is but a red-herring. Its object is to legitimize the Right again against a myriad of progressive issues. Funnily enough, and contra t...

In an election filled to the brim with weird and unexplainable phenomenon, that might have been the weirdest.

Not in Law. The intentional aspect of a threat in either Common Law settings requires the threat to have been made 'seriously'. 'Seriously' here means...

The Mens Rea of Uttering Threat is "knowingly uttering threat", not having the intent of committing the act publicized.

I care very little for birds or fishes. But look even uncourteously in the general direction of my cat and you will end up with quite a lot fewer appe...

The European Convention on Cybercrime (2001) would like to formally disagree with you.

No, I need vindication. The Law states I'm entitled to it.

Funny, apart from some angry clients at work, your's is the only deaththreat I've received in, well, years...

Without a care for how much more ridiculous a world in which everyone who utters death threats receives a slap on the back of the hand...? Well, it be...

You realize I could actually pursue this, right? That I pretty much always could've. It doesn't matter we are in different countries. it doesn't matte...

Well, you just contravened to CCC Art. 264(1) "Uttering threats" Uttering threats 264.1 (1) Every one commits an offence who, in any manner, knowingly...

Death threats should be heavily punished. There is nothing wrong with that.

When people stop asking for sovereignty?

Well, there was a specific effort from Western powers to vilify as much as they could Saddam's troops. Not that they needed much help, but I remember ...

That's one hell of a selective memory you have there. People have been calling the guy for what he is for decades. :-}

Using this surprise nightshift to read The Myth of Sisyphus. I can only feel shame and inadequacy toward the fact that I'm only now, at 33, reading Ca...

23 km in 4.6 hours is pretty good! (Y)

Yeah, surprise graveyard shift is a go! :’(

Well, I was always taught absolution in Ultime Onction could only be given if the person was truly earnest in his repentance. But then again, it's not...

Couldn't we just abandon the idea of internal consistence, like Tarski did, and then keep on doing logic in whatever other meta-language provides exte...
