We do analytic philosophy, so the most insufferable people usually switch majors or college. Or I am the insufferable asshole.

Please do not insult philosophy majors. We have feelings too.

Max Frisch, a famous swiss author, once said: If I love someone, I make myself a picture of him/her, and I form him/her so that she/he represents that picture.
(Very free translation from the remembered German original)

You get that totally wrong. It's a great idea. It's the solution for poorness: Give all the people a poorly paid job and ask your better paid employees to give them food. Avoids raising taxes on the riches, which of course will trickle down in the next years. (Hint: It will not).

Same system here in Switzerland, but slightly different. First, there is no lower limit, but, second, the allowed age difference is three years. Judges may not punish offenders that are under 20, or offenders that are married to the child. I have no idea at all why the latter is still in the law, since there is no way…

Dressage definitely earned a higher place!

I understand the hate for the word. I do not subscribe to it, but I do understand it. My problem is that I believe gender to be a construct, and I do not believe that feminism has this ring to it.

This poll is the single best Sunday invention since soccer!

IDK, it reads as a kind of proof of concept for me to enable further research, and as such it seems legitimate, does it not?

I'm really unsure what this means. It is an interesting application of a fairly new research method, namely eye-tracking. Of course it is first applied to college students, since COST! MONEY! AVAILABILITY!

This is not what I said. Yet Gwyneth Paltrow's sex life is none of your business. Shaming her for it implies that it is. If you say a woman is anything negative for the possibility she had sex with someone else than your husband, you are judging her for things that are NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS (same applies to men,…

So what? Still no reason to slut shame her.

I think even if they have one it is none of our business.

Seriously, I can't even tell if that guy WANTED to go to prison.

Yeah, and I just don't care about what other people do in their own time sexually. There is no justification for blaming people for failing marriages either.

I don't get it. Is Vanity Fair trying to blame someone for a failing (is it really?) marriage? Can't both be unhappy and cheating? Couldn't they have funny threesomes? I don't get tabloids at all!

I overheard people who were a victim to this dance style refer to it as "dance rape". There you go.

I like the fact that "those dumb africans" (invented quote from the Kony campaign) actually needs a radio AND a flyer to get the message.

That is actually a fairly common phenomenon here in Europe. There are even TV shows about it (which are disguisting on sooo many levels). Yet the idea is the same: Western European women are spoiled and feminists and whatever, so let's search for some pure submissive women in the east. It is suggested that Ukrainian…

That is a blazing victory that needs to be explained. After all, she is no politician, she is a person that gives a feel-good feeling.
