Hobbits always help. They've always got food, and weed.

I had to look up infix, bit alas, I can't understand the definition! 😣 "An infix is an affix inserted inside a word stem (an existing word or the core of a family of words). It contrasts with adfix, a rare term for an affix attached to the outside of a stem, …" Does it have anything to do with...

Well there is twatwaffle. I'm going to use it, in fact.

Rhymus interruptus

It's like the free will argument to me. If there is or isn't free will, how does either affect my life? If we are in a simulation, how does that affect my life? I know one thing: I would like a conversation with the programmer(s). Who the fuck thought any being or sprite would want to live...

Mendacious means dishonest, deceptive, false. Didn't that tip you off? 😋

No worries. 😀

She passed almost two years ago.

Might it be helpful to suggest what has already been said by various and sundry sources, but has not been said here (unless I missed it) : Science deals in concretes; philosophy deals in abstractions. ?

Philomena Cunk: "If gravity is real, how come it doesn't work on kites?"

Prog used to mean Yes, Genesis, ELP, King Crimson, Moody Blues, Procol Harum, etc, and Jethro Tull for people who don't hate Jethro Tull, which are a vanishing few nowadays.

If those are tattoos he paid too much for them. It looks like some drunk took a sharpie to him while he was asleep. A frat prank.

When you say "sports angle", are you referring to transgenders in sports? If not, what do you mean?

Not everyone is strong or brave. There are plenty of people who will not want to further antagonize their bully or attacker for fear that any kind of aggressive resistance will serve to incur greater harm. I extend my sympathies especially to a victim of sexual assault and/or rape, and even more...

No one has any business calling any particular group of people mentally ill. That kind of diagnosis can only be done individually, case by case, and determinations need to be made by professionals. No armchair diagnosis of mental illness means a damn thing. I recall some high profile people...

Okay, I won't continue to quibble over the meaning of a word ("demand " - lest it be forgotten), though I do believe I'm right in this case. As for what Emily meant, I have already made so bold as to speak for her too many times. Lord knows the last thing she needs is for anyone to speak for...

I'm stumped. I will need it explained to me. What Emily wrote is by no means a demand. Unless one doesn't notice, or understand, the words 'some', ' might', and 'may', and the context in which they are used; or, if one believes the person using those words is being insincere.

In post 1381, Emily wrote: "I believe that psychopathy is a mental illness. I think it's a mental defect that should not be normalized. I think psychopaths should receive mental health care, and in some cases that might mean that psychopaths may need to be institutionalized for the safety of...
