Look on the bright side, NOS, Trump will be perfectly color-coordinated in an orange jumpsuit.

Braggart.

Yes, currently one of his short story collections also, South of the Border, West of the Sun. I like his novels much better so far. Just checked and h...

It does appear to be a psychologically based amalgamation.

Have a cold and binge-watched almost two seasons of Tokyo Vice. Didn't skip through any of it, and I normally skip through series like that. Also, the...

I made an omelet with three pasture raised eggs, organic spinach, and cheddar cheese. Turned out great except for the pepper. My electric grinder ran ...

Did you see what he did to that poor broccoli? :scream:

For me, the question is what evidence or experience would convince me of the nature of the universe. Ultimately I don't know if I have the capacity to...

Not in my experience. "I am" and "I am not" both express a duality that many Eastern traditions seek to transcend. I once joined such a tradition for ...

That very interesting because it seems to imply that your revelation was of a nature consistent with the Catholic faith, as opposed to, say, an Easter...

Long story short, if I’m reading it right you seem to be saying that you’re a Catholic because of a revelation. If that’s the case, did this revelatio...

Irreligious because spirituality and moral development are too important to be degraded by religion.

Oddly, this seems to show the opposite of what you intended. The symbols of an ancient language do have meaning even without knowing the language. We ...

I think the image reveals a desire to fit into a place where there isn’t really a good fit. I do think that I’m a ‘thinker’ though, and that I’m perce...

Aha, my plan worked after all. :grin:

:up:

You’re supposed to offer me compliments to bolster my self-esteem. Apparently I’m not as funny as I think I am. :sad:

Hate to think what people think of me. I have very low self-esteem and tend to think the worst. https://i.makeagif.com/media/7-21-2015/PjSuMP.gif

:razz: Wayfarer's silent steps, In the stillness of the dawn, The path unfolds wide.

Perhaps a thread dedicated to zen haikus can help pass the time til Wayfarer's return. I'll start. Roses are red violets are blue Wayfarer will be bac...

Reconsidering, I did mistakenly think of Stormy Daniels as a prostitute.

Just bought an audiobook copy. Always been a sucker for Kafkaesque stories.

I don’t know about drugs, but we know Trump has patronized prostitutes and engaged in high-level corruption. Of course you will disagree because you k...

I think a presidents past is relevant and they should be deeply scrutinized. Isn’t Hunter’s laptop relevant?

Funny I hadn't realized till this discussion how close J6 is to a coup. It was sudden, violent, and unlawful. The only question is whether the intent ...

Doesn't jibe well with MAGA which demands fealty to Trump and his narratives.

Doesn't jibe well with the Buddhist concept of interdependence and no-self. The simple answer is that they're conservatives.

Soooooooo, a coup is a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government. The years-long investigations that you referred to were neith...

You're the one who brought up "crimes against humanity," not me. What did you mean if it didn't involve other nations?

Sorry, google say the Armenian genocide is a precedent to the Nüremberg and Tokyo trials. Try again? You're asking me if I think slavery is fine. Clea...

It demonstrates more grave stupidity to confuse international criminal laws with domestic laws. It demonstrates yet more grave stupidity to confuse ce...

It's perfect in my opinion because Hilter did indeed break the law and was convicted, for a failed coup attempt no less, and this demonstrates beyond ...

I disagree, it's the perfect time, being that Hitler was incarcerated for a failed coup.

No doubt it was more "lawful power to defraud the country" that landed H in the clink. https://media-cldnry.s-nbcnews.com/image/upload/t_fit-1500w,f_a...

Ah, it appears as though you're saying that you weren't sure that any laws were broken on J6, stating in the next line that the DNC, etc have "lawful ...

You must not believe there was any assault, disruption of Congress, or any of the other charges. Most of the defendants pleaded guilty, btw, even the ...

It’s clear that laws were broken on J6. What laws were broken in this coup you mention?

:clap: A year or so ago I read Howl and I was like, wow, so dramatic... then I surfed really a low tide beach break yesterday with a bad hangover. Not...

I don't think that you can only see stoic playacting and rank emotion. I think you're merely trolling, badly.

In the past, you've said contradictory things that indicate dishonesty. There's also the fact you're a diehard Trump supporter. I can't see how anyone...

My defense is your apparent untrustworthiness, frankly.

I guess only Americans need to subscribe.

In the link you posted, this is what it says: Join Fox News for access to this content Plus get unlimited access to thousands of articles, videos and ...

Maybe you're too embarrassed to admit your subscription. You should be.

Then how did you read the article that you linked to?

You have a subscription to Fox News?

Of course if people only know Christianity they’ll naturally view other religions through that lens because that’s the only model they know. I remembe...

You nailed it. :rofl: In 12 Rules for Life by Jordan Peterson, Rule #12 is “Pet A Cat When You Encounter One On The Street.”
