No, Linkey, mate please. Don't feel bad about yourself in that way. There are members here who love Russia and Russian culture. Don't mix up things! M...

Qué gran idea :up: That you occasionally go to New Caledonia to fish for salmon. :grin:

Wait a minute... what happened to @"0 thru 9"? I had a random memory of him previously when I saw a Cannabis gummies pack in a pharmacy, and then I sa...

You are right, it is odd. But the root of 'arándano' is not blueberry because it is 'adelfa' instead. Yes, I do! A piece of Miina-baashkiminasigani-bi...

The magic of etymology shows us that the word has a common root in those three different languages: Blue, because the latter is the colour of the frui...

By the way, what if two or even four sets of those numbers lie in the same winner/person? :smirk:

I disagree. Those eventually rules are contradictory to the aim of the lottery. People get attracted to play even different sets of numbers to increas...

The last time I wore fake eyelashes I almost lost my visual capacity and pupils. Dangerous toys are not for toddlers!

No, they do not extend to everyone. Maybe I sound a bit stubborn regarding prostitution or sex workers, but these professionals are not covered by tra...

Good remark. If only trade unions were responsible to the workers, we (workers) would make a real counterbalance to corporations. The main problem of ...

I fully enjoyed Alan Watts' work. It is well written, and for a non-native speaker like me, it is an easy reading to follow. Thanks @"Wayfarer" for in...

Garlic, onions and pork can be a fabulous combination. Mate, if you feel these stink, it could only mean that you are pregnant... :yikes: Congratulati...

No. They are not. :lol: I can't disagree with that! It is obvious that a pig has more skills than a flamenco dancer. On the other hand, pigs are locat...

Brutalism definitely goes here, and I don't mind if you don't know how to appreciate this 1960s and 1970s aesthetic movement. Madrid. https://images.a...

When you see black and white spots, think Flamenco, not pigs or Dalmatians. :wink: https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.pinim...

The elections to the European Parliament in just a few weeks will be fascinating. We started with something outstanding: the attempted murder of Slova...

Good points! :up: I guess those who avoid garlic for breakfast are the ones who eat low-caloric meals such as cereals or canary seeds. Beautiful fores...

Do you know how much I miss my morning conversations about breakfast with @"Noble Dust"? I remember this was the main topic of The Shoutbox, and Baden...

X is real because it is not existentially dependent upon imagination. What I can't follow, as you also noticed, is the great-making attributes. First,...

Speaking about cows on this gentle Wednesday: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eNLjdPI9zdE&pp=ygUMbGEgdmFjYSBsb2xh

I thought Hanover was referring to a trick or language riddle, so I decided to search around Google what was going on with purple cows. The only thing...

I understand that this thread is focused on people from the Anglo-Saxon nations. Yet, I want to share with you that Isabel Perón (the second wife of P...

Oh no! :sad: I have the risk of getting them broken in pieces because of the weight of my goose-like feet.

Little wooden Dutch shoes. Cute or horrendous? https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ebayimg.com%2Fimages%2Fg%2FXKsAAOSw44BYgV...

I buy New Balance shoes. Classic 574 series. It fits very well with my goose-like feet. They are comfortable, and my favourite colours are yellow, bla...

No, I never heard of Nishitani. My fault, because I have always read Japanese literature instead of having an approach to their philosophy too. I watc...

This is the kind of public management I always wished for. I am in a random park in Pozuelo de Alarcón (a city with its own council inside the Madrid ...

I have read a review in 'Good Reads' and the book seems very interesting. Most of the readers agree that it is a well written book and a nice introduc...

:up: :grin:

The Wisdom of Insecurity: A Message for an Age of Anxiety. by Alan Watts. @"Wayfarer" Thoughts? I remember you recommended me to read Watts when we ha...

Ah, cool. Another cryptic message. What a shame that I lost my classes at the Committee for State Security for playing poker with my mates in the cafe...

Oh! Wow! Thanks for telling me it is actually a bus station. I promise I thought it was an airport the first time I saw the picture! Yes. :smile: It i...

Ugly? Soul-crushing? I get it. Brutalist architecture is not your cup of tea. But I would not call those buildings or structures ugly but unique, and ...

Absolutely. The flats are very spacious and the prices per m² are expensive there. The building is located at both Avenida América and Corazón de Marí...

I am not a big fan of grotesque mansions either. I think it is unnecessary to live in a large building, but rich folks tend to be 'pompous'... It has ...

Those are very good questions. Are the beauty and greatness of a building dependent upon our appreciation? Could it be a possibility to value an archi...

I would feel very ashamed of myself if ChatGPT had access to read my posts with poor grammatical skills.

You are right. The building is not beautiful, but sublime. I would have extra motivation for studying law if my university looked like that formidable...

@"BC" @"Tom Storm" Now that we are remembering Mishima in The Shoutbox, and his romantic concept of death (suicide)... :flower: I also want to mention...

As a reminder, Yukio Mishima sent 'The Decay of the Angel' (his last novel) to the publisher hours before committing seppuku. Maybe Mishima was just a...

It seems a very hard task to accomplish. Hopefully, there are professionals like you, Tom, who are trained to provide help in these complex situations...

Exactly. It is nearly impossible to know how to act in such delicate moments. I think there are experts inside the police agents who try to maintain a...

How many times have I talked about suicide in philosophical terms here? How many times have I seen the aesthetic and romantic view of suicide due to m...

Hello, Philo Sofer. It is a nice paper, thanks for sharing it with us. There are a lot of interesting topics, but I would like to highlight specific p...

When the incest kicks in. :vomit: Ah, true. You are just a random tourist enjoying the privilege of being a member of the Schengen area! Cool! Have fu...

We now know a bit more about Lionino... You live in Rome! - or in an Italian city - A sublime Neoclassical monument. It makes me sad that it shows a f...

And, is it 'my existence is eternal' an eternal truth or not?

Well, all politicians in most countries of the world are embarrassing. I have a simple principle: I would not share a pint of beer with a politician. ...

I overreacted a bit. Yet, it is true Barcelona - and its surroundings - is following the path of Marseille and Naples, instead of Berlin or München. *...

You know me pretty well, friend. I love the analogy, by the way. We have a lot of mockery of each other, but everything is OK if it is done with good ...
