If your doctor is sucking your blood, you should not see Dr. Acula anymore.

The good news is, Harbal, you're never too old to improve, although ossification can bring a high cost to improvement, and time must be factored into the alchemy. Why make gold if the cost is more than the cost of gold, such as the cost of losing comfort of the known? Well, one rationale in favour o...

Poor Harbal. In trying to represent yourself through the intelligent observations of others by asserting a destructive intent, you reveal the real cause behind your declared, ostensible annoyance at dattaswami. You too Lacewing. Take a knee and listen up. In regards to me, the real cause of your act...

I suppose you could say that, unless you were averse to sounding like an idiot, of course.

Your intent is obvious. The rest is repetition.

I wouldn't go quite that far, Walker, but thank you.

Many comedy routines rely on the relationship dynamic of straight man and joker.

The last three postings, perhaps the last four, are excellent examples of the thread title in action.

Is thingy exactly the same as thing?

So what is “energy” as being asked about in the OP? The OP says, "everything." Take your pick. The distinguishing evidence of energy is change detected by motion through time and/or space. The most directly relevant energy for humans is the energy that moves body, voice, or mind. Thinking...

I wonder whether it is an important question anyway. I mean we are where we are in the universe today, regardless of whether we are so due to intelligent design or due to evolution. What significance is the matter of design v. evolution other than as an argument for or against the existence of God,...

I'm negative. I'm resentful. I'm bitter. I'm fed up with other people and I'm fed up with God's world. Now what? George Costanza drew your map to your Shangra La. You should emulate him and become Opposite Gary. Simply do the opposite of what Loser Gary would do, and transmorgrify into Opposite Gar...

Must Get Musk! Simple, short, alliterative, easy to remember. Perfect for the minions. This is the current slogan of the Left. Who is the Left? Simply observe who now tries to silence and punish Musk, and you can then put a face to the principle. You will find the qualities of the Left, reincarnate...
