My little pop-up dictionary says this is both an Italian soup and an Italian ice cream. I can’t decide which is better.

I generally don't mind it but circumstances vary widely, of course, and I can imagine debates where insults are too disruptive or counterproductive. N...

Have you ever been watching a movie and sudenly noticed the soundtrack because it was some how off or too overbearing? I guess being aware of a movie ...

I just found it a funny coincidence, both attacks having occured within a day of each other and both being related to the power of theocracy and wanna...

Funny. It’s also funny that on the day before the Salman attack a man attacked the FBI armed with an assault rifle. This man was also at the January 6...

:chin: Really? Historical events like the Inquisition immediately come to mind.

In all fairness, no religion cares much for the blasphemous. Leviticus 24:16 says, “Anyone who blasphemes the name of the LORD must be put to death. T...

Your question asks about mainstream Muslim theology and mainstream Muslim theology applies to all Muslims, or rather, what is common to all sects of I...

I watched a few second of the video and in those few seconds it was off-putting to me because: 1) There were people taking JP seriously. 2) The people...

I’m a little confused because as far as I can tell there is no “exchange”. The video you linked to, of which I briefly skimmed, appears to be a couple...

My Theory X isn’t anything to write home about and is quite worthless.

Bullshit, and I don't think any court in the land will buy his take on it. Candle injuries are the worst.

Doesn't look like it. I just flagged your post and it doesn't toggle off. I suggest that you simply apologize to misclick.

Collectivist in ways that matter, such as, again, being based on egalitarian social relations and common ownership. Not based on, for instance, a twis...

AOC is the devil incarnate for the Right though. On the other hand, what’s really the point of a moderate other than maintaining how things already ar...

A place to share ideas or theories. If I developed a theory about something, say a theory that I called Theory X, I could submit said theory for revie...

This is actually profoundly wrong. For the vast majority of history, sapiens lived as hunter-gatherers, collectivist groups based on egalitarian socia...

I hope this isn’t too silly of a question but why would anyone bother to do that? :chin:

I remember when Mayael requested the following consideration of me: So I assume that mom was a homophobe as well.

I imagine that a hemispherectomy ain’t no walk in the park either.

Daniel raises a salient point; how does one maintain a erection after a boner is divided?

How about boner.

Okay. Going alphabetically, what comes after banana?

If I may utilize your fine logic, half a banana is still a banana.

Lock him up! Lock him up!

:lol: That must be the karmic fate of those who are too much of a dick in life, to be reborn as a penis fish.

Sea cucumbers are the only sea life that could adequately stand in for my man flesh. They are echinoderms from the class Holothuroidea. They have leat...

No problem, I hear that cod pieces are making a comeback anyway. https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQPfPCcFYOd4hHObm2Qjh_e6-NAvhzLf...

Ideas aside, if I may offer a brief critique of the video presentation, it's far too long and rambling for what substance it offers, though I can't sa...

Looks short on parking. Could offer valet service though, I suppose. What am I saying, what sort of half-baked renaissance doesn’t have valet parking.

I’m pretty sure that if you were to remember what you said in French within the dream and repeated it to a French speaker in the waking world they wou...

:up:

Okay, any advice on purchasing my own wind turbine?

Tonight's dinner: Wild-caught shrimp scampi over homegrown romaine & onion and organic kale. A shrimp salad basically. The scampi sauce works quite we...

Really? I was never a 'pinot guy' until I discovered Decoy pinot. Do you know of a commonly available superior choice in the same price range?

True, however, my dreams are entirely comprised of elements that I know or have experienced. I can't dream understanding the language of Japanese, for...

Dinner last night: Grilled wild-caught salmon over a bed of sauteed organic mushrooms. The sautee was with onion, herms, salt & pepper, regular garlic...

You bemoan my repeating things and then ask me to repeat things. I leave you with the following quote:

Nevertheless, from what I've read on selectorate theory, the people tend to do best in democracies. Democracies require sufficient supporting institut...

In American elections, we vote for representatives but also many propositions and such. In any case, it seems to me that making a decision about who r...

I think the purpose of an election is essentially to express the will of the community. Abstainers are part of the community but fail to express their...

I’m sure he appreciates the gesture on some level.

The election that you neglect in situation 2 lacks a vote, obviously. Elections require votes in order to fulfill their purpose. Sorry for the pain th...

Let me guess, you got him a exercise bike and now he’s upset because he thinks that you think he’s fat.

I choose not to subject you or myself to further tedium or torturous simplicity, Isaac.

I wouldn’t describe it as a duty but rather an acceptance of responsibility. Selfishly failing to contribute to a cooperative effort is freeloading. N...

If you were a figment of my imagination I would know more about you then you do. Do you think that I know more about you then you do? I don’t know the...

They are representations. My mind models a representation of you, for instance.

Prove it.
