So is the solipsism thread just one of metaphysical wankery?
It's a discussion between philosophers and people who hate philosophy who are trying to reach a common ground of how to deal with philosophical topics.
Which itself boggles my mind.
If I went into a rap thread and said, "I HATE RAP, SHUT UP." I would be kicked out.
Yet when people enter into threads about philosophical topics and say, "STOP TALKING PHILOSOPHICALLY" they get a bandwagon to rally behind them.

I would actually agree that there is a certain unpleasant knee-jerk response to any philisophical topic, but your jargon-to-speech ratio certainly isn't helping "the cause."

There is a problem with using jargon in a thread the purpose of which is to discuss a topic wherein that jargon is used?
That seems silly.
I'd like to see a cricket thread wherein no cricket jargon is used.
Indiana: If you don't like the weather, wait ten minutes.
Every state has this saying. It's like every congressional district having the nickname "The Fighting _____th"
Not California! If you don't like our weather, then there's something broken in you.
I can sort of understand people not liking the weather in, say, Sacramento, where it hits 110 frequently during the summer. I can also understand people not liking the weather in Monterey, where it's 68 degrees and overcast 300 days a year.

It was just the other day
I was bringin' home my pay
When i met an' old friend i used to know
Said, "Your mother is dead an' gone
An' your sisters all gone wrong
An' your daddy needs you home right away.''
Not a shirt on my back
Not a penny on my name
But I can't go home this a-way
This a-way, lord, this a-way
An' I can't go home this a-way.

I guess if you hate blue skies and balmy weather then you should probably go huddle somewhere in the northeast. Or, alternately, if you want the air to be so wet you feel sweaty just standing around, then you could go to the South.

It's true. I used to live in Ojai, and it would get that hot in the summer, though at least it was dry as a bone.

How 'bout if I just don't believe there's a master-race of weather, and enjoy some variety in life?

I don't get it.
It's because discussions of solipcism are inappropriate outside of discussions of solipcism. The fact that someone says the words "religion" or "philosophy" does not give you free rein to derail whatever discussion they were having before.
Seriously, man. That and the pedantic redefinition thing is why you get such a poor reception around here.
Everyone complains about the weather but no one ever does anything about it.
Speak for yourself. My weather machine is just about complete, and then I shall launch my plan for world conquest.

Solipsism itself is metaphysical wankery, so I'm not sure what else you would expect.

They don't like you.

Ah.
Quick question. I understand that a Bowler bowls the ball. But what is it to "bowl" the ball?
Think of it like softball, only lower/on the ground and the hitter can't take a strike. Not a perfect analogy, but somewhat close.
Or just assume everybody is a slime and learn CricketSlime.
Obviously I'm being totally serious here. There is one weather to rule them all.
It's all just so difficult.
I'm throwing all my plastic bags in a pile and burning them. I'm sure if everybody did the same, we could make an impact.
What do chips have to do with a fry?
You outlandish foreigners.
Yes. The ice-cream truck driver union has had the patent for decades, and they aren't sharing.

I'm pretty sure Cornell has a weather machine as well.
They know how to deal with their enemies.
Some guys I grew up with spent some time doing this.
