I’m fairly confident no one is here seeking your approval. :rolleyes:

Some folks treat reality like optional DLC. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Not sure if anyone else noticed, but the writers of the articles Tswizzle shares must be either budget AI or IKEA instructions written in poetry.

Edit: Yes this is a dig at Chuck for his major fuckup on the previous shutdown.

You’re right that Persia had a long intellectual tradition before Islam, Zoroastrian and Hellenistic influences were major factors. But claiming Islam “forbade the mixing of Muslims with Zoroastrians” or that “the Quran was a Zoroastrian product” is a huge leap. The early Islamic empires...

That kid is adorable. I'm talking about the one that's not the POTUS.

Now that I’ve finished searing TSwizzle to a crisp and the air’s thick with the smell of burnt ego and singed hair, back to the actual topic. https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/israel-releases-first-batch-palestinian-bodies-gaza-2025-10-14/?utm_source=chatgpt.com...

If by “gibberish” you mean verifiable historical fact, then sure, it’s very articulate gibberish.

Empires conquer; people create. The two have always coexisted, Islam’s history isn’t unique in that regard. Edit: Let me expand on this. The scholars came from multiple faiths, Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Persian, all working under Islamic rule. So it wasn’t the religion doing the science, but...

I see AI as just another thing that came to be in this universe, a continuation of the same process that produced us. I don’t get why organic life has to be the only emergent form of intelligence. Who’s to say AI isn’t intelligence emerging from organic life itself. Why assume that one’s...

Calling Melania a “whore” doesn’t make sense to me. It’s not only inaccurate, it also drags sex workers through the mud for no reason. If you think she married Trump for money or status, that’s a valid criticism to discuss, but that’s more a question of her personal values. We can talk about her...

Back on topic, I’m honestly trying to understand how Hamas managed to secure the bodies of the hostages for nearly two years amid constant bombardment. Were they able to move them each time they relocated, or did they have a location that somehow stayed protected the whole time? Gaza’s so...

I actually agree, that “Islamic discoveries” are overstated. Islam itself didn’t discover anything; it was the people, not the faith, who made those breakthroughs. The religion may have inspired a culture of learning, but it was human intellect, curiosity, and effort that built what...

I can only speak for myself, but I see two kinds of philosophy: the kind that asks and tests big questions about existence and truth, and the kind that’s more poetic wordplay, entertaining but not necessarily practical. Rejecting one doesn’t mean rejecting the other. I haven’t seen TSwizzle...

America played this card and now American's are living with it. Only when this card is taken off the board will things start to improve.
