@emilykmay I can't imagine a double ADHD marriage. Early in our marriage, we'd have conversations like: Him: Are you ever going to unpack that suitcase? Me: What suitcase? Him: The one you just STEPPED OVER on your way to the bed. Me: ... oh wow! Look at that!

"Atheists don't have to grant that their view is metaphysically impossible." That's reasonable. But so is this: Theists who affirm Nec. existence don't have to grant that their view is metaphysically impossible. Both face a burden of justification. At best, this is a stalemate.

It is important to remember the dialectical context here. This is a reply to WLC’s moral argument. The burden of justification is on the defender to argue a necessary being is metaphysically possible. Atheists have no obligation to concede their view is metaphysically impossible.

@DarbyStouffer I want to laugh but this kind of breaks my heart. I hope we are doing better with my kids' generation. I'm sure trying! (OK, I laughed a little at the purple crocs.)

@rachalli @aprilajoyr Not a wedding planner, but I'm from 2 huge families and weddings were practically annual for a while there. Give me a kid-based horror story over a drunken-adult-based horror story all day every day! (Same for planes. I'll take toddlers over self-important guys on cell phones.)

Really wish this "Kant" character would remember to grab his stuff from the department printer.

@courtneyellis Ooh another! Gave me a long & detailed play by play of his workout that day. Muscle by muscle. Lots of groaning and flexing. He was an absurdly fit guy & very handsome, but (again) this is just not my way. I need a man with whom I can have a burger & beer. Also ice cream.

I always feel a little bad teaching Descartes' First Meditation on a Thursday. "How do you know you're not in a simulation? How can you trust your senses at all? about anything? ... ...OK, have a great weekend! See you Tuesday!"

I don't want to brag (except that I definitely want to brag) but a student found me after our 9:30am class and said "I wish we had more time! It goes too quickly. It's never enough!" Retire now? Yay or nay?

I am not making this up. This happened today. I am still recovering. Student: When was this paper written? Me: I think sometime in the 90's... Student: And they had, like, aspirin and ibuprofen back then? Me: In the....in the 1990s? Student: Yeah. Like, with those names? Me: ...

This just arrived, unexpected & unsolicited. Looks great! Working with Jaegwon Kim was a major highlight of my time in grad school. Outstanding teacher & scholar, & an incredibly kind man. This is excellent motivation to hit some upcoming deadlines so I can dig in to this!

@LeahBSassy For reasons I still do not understand, I once told a guy on a first date that if I lived in a place where people homeschooled in a community I was definitely going to homeschool. On a first date. And he married me!
