Although it made me cry... Yes, I gave up on combining Japanese cuisine and Spanish products. These two are not destined to go together. Spicy coffee?...
You folks made me laugh! :lol: By the way, Tasmania seems to be an interesting place to visit. Both New Zealand and Australia, but sadly, they are ver...
It is true that it has been a while since the last time I posted my breakfast routine here. It is obvious that I have breakfast every day because it i...
Exactly, I think I remember the addition of the 'winner' label to the title of the short story, actually. But I think it was written in the thread of ...
The moderators close the polls and access to data to prevent further votes after the names are revealed. If I am not wrong, you can see the data of th...
Just a motivational reminder. I understand that most of you, dear writers, are busy because December is a month when people get more excited than the ...
That amount of snow and the blurred buildings in the distance give me a feeling of quiet and silence. I wish we had a snow-covered atmosphere in the n...
I agree. Nochevieja is the worst fiesta of the year. You have already experienced how we do it in Spain, and at the precise moment when we are eating ...
You are the same age as my parents. :smile: I asked them, and they didn't remember anything special about December 31st 1999... You are right. That's ...
Too bad... we always have bigger expectations than what actually happens. Don't we? It rings a bell to me... I guess I heard this song in a Ghibli fil...
People go uniquely crazy in December. In the rest of the months, I feel people are more chilled with life. I understand that vibe, indeed. Some folks ...
I see that none of the members of the soutbox have noticed we are already in December. It is the last month of the year but maybe one of the most impo...
By the way, I just realized that @"Caldwell" was always important in short story activities. It seems weird that she is not around here because, despi...
Exactly. The main objective is to keep learning. I will not get mad if my short story receives negative votes, but I want to know why. I remember some...
@"Jack Cummins" Jack, I think this is a reasonable deadline. Don't you think? I remember we both had a fierce discussion due to the extension days of ...
Oh, what a pity. She will be missed because she always put a lot of commitment into the short stories, making this contest active and vivid. I will gi...
Glad to see this beautiful activity happening again. Thanks @"hypericin" for taking care and managing this. I have realized that some new features hav...
Operators... you know? Always operando. Fascinating. The best folks in your and my stories are the ones who wear the best coats. I hope the person in ...
Thank you so much for your instructive response. Look! Continuing with the reading of Pears, another type of tautology emerges, referred to as 'deep.'...
It is heavily raining in Madrid and there is a strong wind which I can hardly walk, so the only solution is to take a bus. When I was waiting at the b...
I partially agree with you, but without those 'quickfix' experimental vaccines, everything would have ended up in a disaster. At least, considering th...
Do you want to have reasons for kicking me out of the shoutbox? In the books of Spanish grammar and spelling, it is said and written: 'wiski' «¡Camare...
It was very helpful and pleasant to read. You explain yourself correctly. I now understand why some states that Wittgenstein was a sympathiser of posi...
OK. I understand, yet I want to thank you for helping me with your explanation of Wittgenstein. O13zen and you were the only ones who actually answere...
@"013zen" Finishing today's chapter, David Pears concludes with something pretty interesting. He states: It may seem surprising that logic should reve...
@"013zen" @"Fooloso4" Hello again, folks. Keeping on the book by David Pears. Chapter three is called 'pictures and logic', and I would like to share ...

You can't imagine how much it frustrates me the first thing that comes up in other folks' minds about Spain is our colonial past... When the history a...
Thank you for your efforts, dear friends. I nevertheless decided to no longer use 'cost' in the future. I think it is a cursed verb and a false friend...
OK! Fair enough, I understand what David Pears is about on the very first pages of his book. I really appreciate your commitment to explaining both ta...
Interesting. If tautologies tell us what's the case in every possible world, why David Pears argue against them? Or more specifically, why did Pears a...
It is impressive how language can be interpreted and understood depending on the receptor. I attempted to say yesterday: a train derailed, so I had to...
Clear and good example. I am starting to understand the role of tautologies better. I can conclude that tautology can't help me to achieve the truth i...
I see. Thank you for your explanation. I appreciate your help. I am only on page 60... Maybe I will find more answers and points about Pears, yet it i...
Thanks @"Fooloso4". It is now clear to me what tautology is about. OK. But why does David Pears states that those tautologies are empty? Because it se...
