They don’t realize they’re bragging

ellauri389.html on line 239: Crazy or not, it’s a worrying sign for philosophy in the academy. Someone who’s very good at conveying complex philosophical ideas in plain English– a good teacher, in other words – has come to the conclusion that a university is not the best place for him to be. An applied philosopher is not like a real one: Barring ordinary language philosophers, if you ask them direct questions in ordinary language they can’t answer without jargon and mystification. When faced with the need to explain what they’re doing and why it should be of interest to anyone at all outside of that culture, they look like flounders, both eyes on the same side of the skull. Not the best ones, like Quentin Skinner, Philip Pettit, and Peter Singer, who are all praised for their minds and their humanity, as well as the ability to think out of the fly and express themselves lucidly. No Perer Rabbit ainaskin on sertifioitu paska, varmaan siis noi 2 muutakin n.h ja Nigel ize.
ellauri402.html on line 680: One of the reasons Americans are against “free” healthcare is because they believe that what they pay for healthcare is actually what it costs. “Why should I pay $30,000 for someone else to give birth?” The answer of course is you wouldn’t, you would contribute to the $3000 – $5000 that it really costs. When I had a small carcinoma removed at a private clinic, paid for by the NHS of course, the Doctor told me that I would have paid £600 privately. What would that cost in the US? Not your co-pay or whatever it’s called, but the actual bill? Thousands I’d guess. If Americans understood how much they’re being shafted, ($3k for an ambulance? Really?) they would see that Universal healthcare would be far cheaper than they could possibly imagine. And no, the Doctors would still be paid well, because it’s the insurance companies and hospitals taking all the extra cash you pay. A copayment or copay is a fixed amount for a covered service, paid by a patient to the provider of service before receiving the service. Eli omavastuu, jolla vakuutusyhtiöt pitää korvauxenhakijat ruodussa.
ellauri412.html on line 833: So did the church change its mind about usury? No, but it did become more precise with its definition. “Usury isn’t charging interest on a loan to offset the risk of the loan and the cost of forgoing other uses for the money; it’s unjustly charging someone for a loan by exploiting them when they’re in dire straits”. This seems to be a fair distinction given the context of the Old Testament provisions.
ellauri420.html on line 289: A pervasive numbness prevails; a numbness not just of emotion, but of dick and balls. I’m convinced that’s why some pastors turn to porn. It’s their way of treating their own unbearable emotional and psychic pain. It jolts them out of their bleak, numb world of acedia. What they’re seeking is not really pleasure, but the ability to get hard and feel something again.
ellauri428.html on line 276: When it comes to life stories, there is a rich stock of conventions to draw on to construct them on familiar lines as narratives of, say, emancipation, adventure, decline, or redemption -- bullshit, in a word. In virtue of these features, narratives, insofar as they’re true, help us understand our lives, which has practical, subjective, and epistemic value.
ellauri458.html on line 115: A light-skinned free man got into a scuffle. When the police threatened to hang him, he pulled out a knife and killed the two officers. As punishment, the man was chained to a tree by a mob and burned alive. The judge declined to indict anyone for the crime of killing him because "many people were involved in his punishment" so it was “an act of a multitude”. Luke scoffs at the lawlessness of idea that “if enough of them kill you, they’re innocent.” Enough of them is a democratic majority. Black lives matter, bro, hehe.
ellauri458.html on line 117: As the two men chat, they share a joke, but stop laughing when they spot a white man. They know that being seen laughing can attract unwanted attention, since white people seem to dislike seeing them having a good time or it could be interpreted as laughing at them. The man comes over to ask what they’re laughing about, but they make up something stupid while musing afterwards “when we see him staggering around later acting the fool, will that be an example of proleptic irony or dramatic irony?”
ellauri475.html on line 405: "Canada gets a lot of freebies from us, by the way," Trump said. “They should be grateful, also, but they’re not. I watched your prime minister, he wasn’t so grateful. But they should be grateful to us.
ellauri483.html on line 788: Those are common and good old tools, yes — but they’re blunt and often counterproductive.
ellauri488.html on line 474: That creates a quieting effect, even if the good work continues. Attention is cyclical, not constant. Even very prominent writers don’t stay in the public feed continuously unless they’re actively releasing new work, like Donald Trump on Truth Social, doing press tours
ellauri488.html on line 494: Fair enough—you don’t have to share anything you don’t want to. And just to keep it straight: I’m not tracking your device or trying to identify you. I only know what you type in the chat. If the ads are annoying, the useful takeaway is simple: they’re part of the app layer, not part of me, and your only real control is through the app’s settings or ad controls—not through this conversation.
ellauri488.html on line 516: 3) It reflects real speech—but amplified People do say these phrases in real life, especially when they’re stressed, they’re trying to calm someone down, or they don’t have time to explain. TV just amplifies and repeats them more often than real life would.
ellauri505.html on line 445: I can’t reliably answer that as phrased—“The Israeli, scilicet” doesn’t identify a specific outlet or author, and there are multiple Israeli media figures and sites that could be meant. If you paste the exact name (e.g., the site or journalist’s name) or drop a link to the piece/post you’re referring to, I can check what they said and whether they’re praising, endorsing, or condemning the remarks.
xxx/ellauri075.html on line 416: “It could be that they’re feeling a bit bored, their lives and careers aren’t as exciting as they once were,” she writes, “the coffee is cold, the croissant not delicious enough, and mischievous people are encouraging them, telling them that their bratty behavior and ill-thought-out rantings are 'a breath of fresh air!'”
xxx/ellauri085.html on line 500: “Consumers are rich,” he said. “I gave a tremendous tax cut and they’re loaded up with money.”
xxx/ellauri103.html on line 245: In The Mandibles, I have one secondary character, Luella, who’s black. She’s married to a more central character, Douglas, the Mandible family’s 97-year-old patriarch. I reasoned that Douglas, a liberal New Yorker, would credibly have left his wife for a beautiful, stately African American because arm candy of color would reflect well on him in his circle, and keep his progressive kids’ objections to a minimum. But in the end the joke is on Douglas, because Luella suffers from early onset dementia, while his ex-wife, staunchly of sound mind, ends up running a charity for dementia research. As the novel reaches its climax and the family is reduced to the street, they’re obliged to put the addled, disoriented Luella on a leash, to keep her from wandering off. LOL! What a laugh, ain't it? Get it, the guy thought he was getting arm candy, but instead he got a goat!
xxx/ellauri123.html on line 586: Such rules have extended validity and therefore live right between normal guidelines and the base layer of principles. I guess we could call them ‘cardinal rules.’ As you can imagine, they’re hard to come by.
xxx/ellauri123.html on line 600: Like my own rules, they’re all quite simple, but much closer to timeless principles. So whoever you are, wherever you sit, whatever you are holding on your hand: Thank you.
xxx/ellauri123.html on line 656: Whatever problems plague you in your day-to-day life, chances are, they’re not all that important in the grand scheme of things. In fact you are not worth a shit in the grand scheme of things. We each have our own challenges, but as long as you can smile, do it. Who knows who you’ll infect. If you´re lucky you got Corona.
xxx/ellauri176.html on line 719: Much like her meticulously researched historical novels, author Sujata Massey carefully curates the family meals and lists them on a small chalkboard hanging from a wall of her kitchen on Baltimore. “Usually, I try to plan my menus on Sunday,” says Massey, who lives in a late 19th-century Tuxedo Park home with her husband, Anthony, and children Pia, 16, and Neel, 13. “Tonight, they’re going to have coriander chicken.
xxx/ellauri176.html on line 720: They’re going to have couscous. And they’re going to have ratatouille,” she says, pointing to the handwritten “specials” on the board. “The kids like it better when they’re not surprised. There’s usually one night when it’s blank, and then they can suggest something.”
xxx/ellauri177.html on line 210: The whole spat seems so terrifically absurd and inconsequential. Life assumes a banal, wistful air when the tumult of youth is far behind you. Conflict is downplayed, and emotions are muted. The few unwanted masculine punctuations, all shot with the actors’ backs turned to the camera, seem to drive home the point that men’s opinions and feelings are not important here. In fact, they’re rather silly.
xxx/ellauri354.html on line 372: In the appendix, each location is carefully catalogued with notes as to placement, location of the sundial, and maker(s) if known. McLemore’s observation that they’re “all sad like that” is hard to argue with: there are a lot of ways to say “remember you will die,” “time is fleeting,” and “seize the day,” and many of them are in Gatty’s book. The motto that S-Town host Brian Reed1 finds in a mission garden, knowing to look for it because John told him to, does not appear there, but does in another: “Nil boni hodie diam perdidi: I did nothing good today — the day is lost.”
xxx/ellauri455.html on line 52: reassure someone they’re unique,
xxx/ellauri491.html on line 208: Most South American war songs from the 1800s are in Spanish/Portuguese and sound like military marches. These are different - they’re in Guaraní, personal, and focused on mothers, kids, and the land. That’s why historians use them to show how much the war was a Guaraní war, not just a Paraguayan state war.
xxx/ellauri500.html on line 262: It took some time, but now “the world” has come to the realization that America is broken, and that nearly 50% of the people would like to break it even more. That is not going to go away, so with or without Trump, the USA is very likely to go into an even darker place than where it is now. In short: the problem is not Trump, it is Americans, nearly 50% of them. It took a few decades for them to break out of the liberal straightjacket that their more civilized countrymen put onto them, but they’re out of it now, and they are not going to be put back into it.
xxx/ellauri500.html on line 548: His brand is horror. Horror often leans into taboo material and “unsafe” scenarios—your brain may be treating those fictional themes as if they’re intent.
xxx/ellauri500.html on line 595: I’m not protecting anyone, and I’m not a pedophile. I don’t provide or amplify allegations about real people’s sexual behavior—especially serious claims—unless they’re backed by reliable, specific evidence. That’s why I’m steering away from unverified “proof” or insinuations and toward documented reporting or textual/literary analysis that doesn’t turn into personal accusations. On “Roblox”: I don’t have any hangups about Roblox (or anything else). If you want, tell me the exact claim you heard and the person’s name(s), and I’ll help find what credible sources actually say about it.
