I think the philosopher you're looking for was basically just arguing that he himself didn't exist, rather than claiming everyone else was a figment of his imagination or some other thing like that.
I can't quite pin down the details, but I'm pretty sure we're talking about some 20th-century philosopher from the States. It was on some show—maybe half hour culture or the second format—where they mentioned how this guy XY actually wrote a book claiming he doesn't even exist.
So, I heard a while back about this philosopher who supposedly wrote a book or an article where he makes this really intense, well-reasoned argument claiming that he doesn't actually exist. Not that the world is some illusion or anything like that, but specifically that *he* isn't there. The catch is I can't for the life of me remember his name or what the piece was called. Anyone have a clue who I'm thinking of?
I’d really love to actually lay eyes on this Patrick Johnson78 guy; he’s always busy lecturing everyone else. I’m genuinely curious if his physique actually matches the persona he tries to project online.
Look, walking and hiking will get my leg muscles toned up enough, and if I start hitting the farmer's market on Saturdays, carrying those heavy grocery bags will give me a decent bicep workout; besides, abs are all about what you eat anyway.
So, I’ve been wondering if it's actually possible to build muscle without ever touching a weight or hitting the gym. Basically, can you get jacked just by watching what you eat and staying active? By "active," I mean stuff like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, walking a couple of blocks to the subway station, or spending some time working in the yard.
In that case, you might as well just take the 120 bus and hop off at that suburban neighborhood station. Honestly, you could probably just as easily head out toward the New Jersey suburb instead.
Yeah, the 6 and the 2 are streetcars. Just make sure you're heading the right way first. Basically, you take the streetcar all the way to the end until you hit the loop. From there, you can hop on the 120, or maybe the 172 or whatever else is running, but if you're trying to get to the heart of the suburban neighborhood, the 121 is your best bet. It really just depends on which part of the suburban neighborhood you're actually aiming for.
Grab the 6 or the 2 from Grand Central Terminal and head toward the suburban neighborhood. Once you're there, you've got plenty of bus options that hit all the local spots, including areas like the New Jersey suburb or other parts of the suburban neighborhood, among others.
Sarah Garcia84 said:Honestly, those women are just exhausting; they go out of their way to be difficult... Just because they claim they spent their lives working, scrubbing floors, cooking, or raising kids doesn't mean they actually did any of it. For all we know, they could have been working for the FBI or some other agency—you can never really tell what people were actually up to behind closed doors.
That’s exactly my point. There’s this constant, relentless push to shove a specific narrative down everyone's throats—claiming these women were some kind of tireless martyrs who worked themselves to the bone—even though there isn't a shred of proof to back it up. If you actually value hard work and have spent your life being honest about what you've contributed, you wouldn't sit there trying to hijack the spotlight and take credit away from the actual working class with these useless, self-serving stunts.
Every single morning, the buses and light rails are packed with old ladies riding around for absolutely no reason. They’ll trek all the way to some massive farmers' market just to pick up two measly carrots when there's a grocery store right around the corner from their house. It just creates unnecessary congestion and crowds out the people who actually have places to be—working professionals, students, and anyone else trying to get through their day. These women don't seem to have any respect for the working class or even a shred of basic solidarity. Honestly, it feels like a uniquely American phenomenon because you don't see this level of elderly congestion clogging up public transit in most other major US cities.
Since my thread got shut down for being "underdeveloped," I think we should just go ahead and close these others too. Just three sentences of an intro. A few random words thrown together. One single sentence. Half a sentence. And so on...

The moderator did the right thing by locking all those threads you started and flagging your posts because you were straight-up breaking the Lowe's community guidelines. They even sent you the link to the rules, so honestly, it wouldn't hurt to actually read them.
I don't buy this decision at all. Is there some higher authority I can appeal to?
This guy keeps shutting down my threads with these totally arbitrary arguments—specifically the one where I pitted a gay man against an old lady in a hypothetical choice. Look, I get that the topic isn't high-brow, but from what I've seen browsing this sub, nobody expects a PhD thesis here; a casual tone is perfectly fine. It would only make sense if he applied that same level of strictness to every other ridiculous thread on the board. On top of that, this incompetent moderator claims my post isn't "well-developed" enough, which is nonsense because the core question was laid out clearly and concisely. I have no idea what more elaboration could possibly be required. His take on the topic being "pointless" feels just as random as his moderation. Honestly, I think the rest of you users should weigh in on this.

You can always carry your items in your hands, a basket, a cart, or a little shopping bag, and then just toss them into your purse on the way out. I’m not saying it’s right that you get singled out for inspections all the time, but most stores have signs at the entrance stating that bags should be left in lockers. Shoplifting has been getting out of hand lately—especially things like chocolate, perfume, makeup, seasonings, or deli meats—and retailers are going to try to minimize those losses however they can. For instance, if you walk into a Walmart wearing a backpack, they might not even let you through the door.
First off, trying to carry everything in your hands is just plain impractical if you're actually buying more than a couple of things. And honestly, I never bother buying their overpriced plastic bags anyway. Besides, women walk into grocery stores with purses all the time and I rarely see anyone making a scene about it. Where would everyone even put their bags if we all checked them? It would create a massive bottleneck. From what I've seen, there's definitely a double standard when it comes to how they treat ladies' handbags versus backpacks. Then there's the fact that stores are already crawling with cameras, security guards, and those exit sensors, so I don't really see much room for anyone to pull off a heist anyway.

And why isn't this an option for women? Handbags take up just as much space as a backpack—honestly, some are even bigger, and half the people walking in are carrying massive totes anyway. Besides, if I ditch my bag, where am I supposed to put my stuff?
Lisa Davis85 said:I don't get it—doesn't every single store have those little door alarms that go off if you try to walk out with something? How does this even work in practice?
Sure they exist, which makes this whole thing even more bizarre and useless. Honestly, it feels like it was cooked up just to humiliate men.
Look, my routine is pretty simple: I usually just bring a backpack to store whatever groceries I pick up. But lately, I’ve run into this annoying situation where the cashiers stop me and demand to check the bag, claiming backpacks aren't allowed inside. Meanwhile, I see women walking in with massive handbags or even huge totes without anyone batting an eye or questioning them once. When I actually called out the cashier on this double standard, she just gave me some vague excuse about how those are "personal women's bags." It really feels like they view every man walking through the doors as a potential shoplifter, while women get a free pass to carry whatever they want.
