So I've been playing Skyrim. There're lotsa dungeons of course, just like a lot of other video games, and it got me wondering... Who lights all the torches and lanterns and braziers in all the dungeons and crypts and caves in all the video games?! You walk into some old place that's...

Nah, the slowdown was just the PS4 chugging along. I didn't have any slowdowns whatsoever on my PS5 playthrough, and I finally got all my trophies for the massive populations and the way-too-much-industry one. It's funny. I had just developed this method for making everyone in my city walk to...

I finally decided to try out the Playstation Plus "Premium" today. Between being on sale for Black Friday, and the fact that you only pay the difference for the time until your next re-sub date (yearly for me) it was about $20 for six months. And then I can cancel immediately and go back to...

As to being "impersonal" I don't really disagree. The posts you and I are talking about are just links to articles and a quote from them, so I felt that "newsfeed" was an apt description already. I rarely, if ever, see anything written by the thread creator in the opening post, so it doesn't...

I think the issue for most folks is that when they go to check "New Threads", which applies to all sub-forums, it is sometimes engulfed in posts from one person. If you aren't interested in what's new in any other sub-forums, then you likely wouldn't care. A limit on the number of new threads...

Stalking.

No, my premise is used to prove this negative claim: The Earth is not flat. Uh-huh, that's a premise. But the premise isn't the thing that is being proven. The conclusion is the thing being proven, and the conclusion is a negative claim. Since we agree that the Earth cannot be round and...

No, that's a premise. Yes, again, since you weren't paying attention the first time, that's this claim here: The Earth is not flat. That's the claim. That's what's proved using the law of non-contradiction as a premise. I'll be happy to help you learn how logic works and what an argument is...

It's impossible not too, dummy. All claims have a contradiction to them. That's how the word 'not' works. Good, good, you know the difference between round and flat, now we're getting somewhere. So is the Earth round or is it flat? It's round, right? That means it is NOT flat. I didn't...

lulz This is the very basics of deductive logic. P1 ~(X & Y) P2 X C ~Y For example, if I prove the positive claim that "The Earth is round" I also prove the negative claim that "The Earth is not flat". P1 It is not true that the Earth is both round and flat. P2 The Earth is round C The Earth...

lol I already proved it and told you exactly where it was. Read that post you quoted again.

I didn't even know you were quoting someone. You didn't cite it in any way. Taxes are not theft. That's nonsense. You agree to pay your taxes in exchange for living as part of a given society. It would only be theft if you weren't allowed to leave.

Can't it be a bit of both? Where'd ya go, buddy? I finally gave you what you were begging for and *poof* you up and disappeared on me! I gave you an @ mention back in post #279 so you'd see it and every-stuff!

What are you talking about? I responded to your post that decried anyone taking anything from anyone.

Yeah! Having police and fire departments and schools and stuff is theft! Boo taxes!

And there are some positive claims that cannot be proven as well. It isn't the distinction as to whether the claim is positive or negative that makes a claim unprovable. The better response is to call that person out for a "Shifting the Burden of Proof Fallacy". Exactly. I don't make...

Ugh... Alright. @Ken-1122 @Ana the Ist @Kylie @Estrid You've all chimed in either vocally or through 'Winner' ratings in support of this "you can't prove a negative" idea, so I'm going to spell it out for all of you at once. If you can't prove a negative claim, then nothing has ever been...

Dude, you made a inappropriate behavior with animals joke. Of course you upset some prude. I find it remarkable that you remember all those other reportable posts and think I would report you over a joke and none of those. I don't think you've said on here exactly what you do, but aren't you in law enforcement of...

Well, no. Hopefully his answer is "yes" and we can go back to "bickering" like old times, lol. If @Ana the Ist confirms that he doesn't actually believe I would report him over calling me out on my favorite genre of film, then we're only going to get nastier from here.

You're replying to my post even though you said you wouldn't do that anymore. Are we back on speaking terms now that you know someone else reported your joke? ETA - I'm gone from 2pm-ish to 1am-ish EST basically every week day. I refuse to carry a cell phone, so I only respond to posts...
