I don't think that's correct and it would make it impossible to discuss social issues in a normal manner. Here are some examples: In my experience, ri...

Blame autocorrect.

They took him off the extra oxygen and are letting the fenobarbital run its course in the hopes of capturing something on the eeg. He does have troubl...

Nothing on the MRI. That leaves metabolic diseases or genetics. On the surface those last two aren't likely but needs to be checked all the same.

hasn't had an episode since this morning, hopefully thanks to the fenobarbital. Still no closer to a cause though. At the earliest that will be Monday...

Thank you everyone. So far they haven't found any cause for the seizures. Provided they continue not to find anything that is actually good news as wh...

I'm not a religious person but I'm at my wit's end. Last night Archie was brought to the intensive care for observation due to inexplicable problems w...

Uhuh. Except that it makes a distinction between Israeli citizens based on being Jewish or not and gives more rights to Jewish Israeli citizens than n...

Happy passed over.

Thanks for the congrats everyone!

There's about two views possible on the issue. If that's your idea of diverse thenyou should move to a communist country and enjoy their wide selectio...

Less Mcdonald?

about USD 450,000.

a little under 6 pounds.

FYI: My son Archie arrived today in good health, 2695 gram.

now you're reminding me of philosophical authenticity.

I'm not an economist but a lawyer but here goes. This is false. Money is often brought into circulation by banks through fractional reserve banking (b...

Influencing skills I used this often. Takes a lot of practise though.

30 and 2 breaths. The speed is "ah ah ah ah, staying alive, staying alive" from the BeeGees. or if you're morbid "duh duh duh duh, another one bites t...

that's still 10% saved thanks to CPR and professional help afterwards. That's fantastic!

I have to agree with this. Conservatism has mostly become a catch-all for people resisting some kind of social change. They're all reacting to various...

OK. Doesn't sound like any important philosophical content was lost. So... meh?

Was that the thread informing about what ethnicity people on these boards had?

You can do that too.

Reminds me of Cthulhu.

How about this lamprey? https://www.hakaimagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/header-lamprey.jpg It's like a dick with teeth. :fear:

Get glasses, old man. I think taxation and other types of enforced transfer to the State do not result from capital ethical rules and are defendable o...

The abusive manager, the bad company culture, the 12 hour workday. It's all part of the game so we accept a lot of shit that has an effect on our happ...

Immortality. Not immorality! :rofl: I'll reply more in depth when I'm behind a computer but thanks so far.

Shooting from the hip: it's adaptability and making your own rules. You can hold on to what you want or what you had. Or you can redefine or postpone ...

Nozick seems quite a logical place to start. How does a capitalist acquire land as property? Is this really possible within a capital system? Is all t...

Interesting. How does she deal with any duty of care for later generations? They don't have rights so we just screw the planet and let them deal with ...

Yes, it is. It stems from the fact that Adam Smith was first and foremost a moral philosopher and it seems "economic theory" has been divorced from mo...

OK, what part? How about this analogy: you can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies based on newtonian mechanics or Einstein's theories. The answer...

I'm not sure yet where I'm going. An intuition that's too unrefined to share at this stage. Would you agree that your if-then statement is what I'd ca...

But that's not the purpose of this thread. For now, let's accept the capitalist ideology as the only possible ideology and see where that gets us and ...

Ok, fair enough. How about we rephrase for now and just say "there are things available for ownership" otherwise "respect of ownership" becomes nonsen...

Effervescent is one of my favourites.

That part. I don't see what your graph has to do with what I said. It's the same as saying Islam equals terrorism because there were a few Islamic ter...

Ideology doesn't cause psychopathy. And whatever Marx thought it wasn't that authoritarian regimes were a good idea, that just creates new classes. Ma...

You can predict the municipal elections in the Netherlands coming up on the 21st of march. Have fun with that one.

I read "more intestines" and immediately suspected you of being into visceral knife fights, bloody surgery and the ebola virus.

I'm so glad you two take my baseless assertions as plausible. I came discursively to that conclusion based on an extrapolation of Agustino's posts bei...
