That plate is two meals for me.

Should we celebrate (a remembrance) the death of a good person? Can we recognise the world being worse off because they passed away? The only reason I...

And when they don't we can blame the Democrats!

thank you, Homer and Barney, for reinforcing the point that Americans are uncultured baboons. :razz:

Those two and Mr Burns are my idea of Amuhericans.

This in no way is a reply to what I wrote. It's a confusing mess actually. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uyghur_genocide https://www.google.com/amp/...

I know plenty of Christians that go to mixed spa's. So it's not just religion. But in any case, I think expectation management goes a long way and thi...
June 30, 2021 at 18:45
I don't agree in this case. Those who deny gender as something separate do so for specific reasons. The distinction clearly matters and makes all the ...

So few? I piss off conservatives, racists, Chinese governmental officials, US citizens and French people. But, really, fuck the French. I deserve more...

This is a great argument to allow downvotes actually. Imagine the cognitive dissonance if you have a negative number. :naughty:
June 30, 2021 at 10:32
This is just to update everyone why we introduced the like function. If you don't manage to get at least one like a month, you will be banned for not ...

So, you're denying that Uighurs are being sent off to concentration camps, oh sorry "vocational training camps", in a concerted effort to commit cultu...
June 30, 2021 at 04:38
Well, should in my book yes, but then I think we should dispense with patents and copyright all together. So I'm the wrong guy to ask. There are groun...

What you say makes sense, I'm just repeating what she said. One way that could work is if gender identity is independent from biological sex. If that'...

Democracy is first and foremost about the freedom to make and repeal laws or to elect representatives to do that for you. But even "representatives" c...
June 29, 2021 at 12:35
This is almost 30 years ago for me. Pareto optimalisation is about multi-objective optimisation and results from the calculation of two optimum points...
June 29, 2021 at 09:39
The reason nobody reacts to the idiocy of describing the Chinese system as democratic is precisely because it's so obviously false it doesn't require ...
June 29, 2021 at 05:26
No, I double checked and what I wrote is what I meant. I only learned this last week when I contacted a leading Dutch researcher on this. Transsexuali...
June 29, 2021 at 04:37
Strictly speaking within the current professional vocabulary (as part of psychology and in the Netherlands at least) you can be pro-transgender and ag...
June 28, 2021 at 18:37
Cool. And here I was still thinking about European examples and this is just further circumstantial proof that transgenderism is not only sociological...
June 28, 2021 at 13:04
oh dear. I need to not talk about math any more. :lol: Points on a line it is. I only remembered "points" for some reason and got confused.
June 28, 2021 at 10:42
How can you express a hole in 1D? I would think a hole appears as part of a relationship with other things so 2D is the lowest you can go?
June 28, 2021 at 10:14
Gender isn't just a grammatical term and the difference between biological and psychological sexuality has been around for over 60 years. It was first...
June 28, 2021 at 08:41
The delusion is in trying to establish that at that age. It's too early to tell, doesn't mean the parents are wrong in recognising what their children...
June 28, 2021 at 08:01
This again comes down to you not understanding the difference between sex and gender. There's examples abound in nature of animals mimicking other ani...
June 28, 2021 at 07:39
This again. As I already pointed out:
June 28, 2021 at 07:29
You're equating sex with gender and that results in a lot of confusion for you apparently.
June 28, 2021 at 07:23
Oh right, so when you use the word "delusional" it doesn't have a psychological meaning even when you're trying to prove it by referring to psychologi...
June 28, 2021 at 07:03
You haven't provided evidence. You've asserted that certain people suffer from a delusion without the evidence necessary to make such a claim. That ma...
June 28, 2021 at 05:59
it read : Go grandpa grandma.
June 28, 2021 at 05:14
I can't tell on both counts.
June 28, 2021 at 05:12
You do realise not every member of a reddit has to be trans right, despite its name? Just how you're not a philosopher but you're still here?
June 28, 2021 at 04:32
You have a degree in psychology, haven't submitted anything but two studies that don't support the point that gender dysphoria is a delusion and yet i...
June 27, 2021 at 21:46
Yeah, I saw that. Did you watch the video? This stupid c£&% is solely focused on getting her sign on camera, she's not even looking at the peloton.

So Biden suggests the extra money is to make community policing possible and does think police should reform. Some things he mentioned was having heal...

Dude, you admitted to the analytical truth when you had to turn to 2 dimensional representations of donuts, which aren't donuts, to pretend a donut wi...

Interestingly enough, the criticisms is western democracies are the only thing accurate about that article.
June 26, 2021 at 05:39
Yeah, that's not how logic works.
June 26, 2021 at 05:30
Yeah, nice cop out. I'll leave you with an opportunity to learn something about logic. https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/analytic-synthetic/ https://...

Why don't you start a thread about how science proves capitalism is the right organisational structure for society?

June 25, 2021 at 20:28
It's not a convincing example because you apparently don't understand how the fallacy of begging the question works. Denial of analytical truths leads...
June 25, 2021 at 19:33
It's not begging the question : If all donuts have holes And this shape doesn't have a hole Then it cannot be a donut If all donuts have holes And thi...

Correction. I don't believe it was impossible, I know it's impossible much like a "married bachelor" is impossible.
June 25, 2021 at 18:04
Yeah, I was rather livid when I read it so poor choice of words. But if crack whores can have multiple kids... It's just so alien to me that a conserv...

I would consider objects to exist "on their own" otherwise they wouldn't exist. Aside from idealism I'm not well-versed in alternatives. So interested...

Hi, could either of you expound? Or provide a link to an appropriate SEP article? I don't think I'm familiar with this yet.
