There are some things that science cannot clearly tell us
That's no reason to turn to religion. Find other frameworks.
what exactly happens when we die
Science can tell you plenty about that. Not just natural science, mind you - death as a cultural phenomenon is also relevant.
why there are documented cases of "medical miracles"
Miracles don't exist. What you're referring to is stuff that's been found out already, or not just yet.
we live in an unjust world where we are all kind of screwed and children die for no reason, evil people live for no reason
And the world is also beautiful and we're alright and lots of children grow up to be lovely people.
we are all just left with inadequate mathematical and scientific tools
Again, find different frameworks. There should be plenty in e.g. philosophy.
understand our existence and what will happen when that existence ends
This topic in particular has been discussed many times over. You should seek out those discussions. :)
all of the scientific unknowns
Note that "science" isn't supposed to be "every answer ever". It's science. It has various fields of interest. Various objects of inquiry.
Don't make the mistake of thinking there are only 2 camps in the world, and if one camp doesn't tell you everything you want to know, the other camp will. That's not how it works.
Now, go forth and seek your answers in other places. Let's mention two good places to start, of you really want to dig into intellectual matters:
am I just imagining things
To be certain, you'd have to run benchmarks to compare the two cases.
He looks like a 50 yr old baby
Maybe they're prepping for something where he needs to be big, but honestly... it's looking pretty unhealthy.
Sure! Blocks are a common part of stutter. So is repetition, of course. And then there's the prolongation. It's all part of our terrible repertoire. ;-D
And you're right, speech therapy can help you approach the issue. But it varies what works for people. Definitely seek it out if you feel like you're reaching your limit.
That's more like it. ;)
P.s. Where did you get your unusual way of speaking from?
Interesting question! I'm not a native anglophone, if that's what you mean. :)
I'd be interested to know where from.
wrap ... out
I would guess from this another Germanic language or a Romance one. Germanic languages and Latin for the only one I know of that have these kind of preposition + verb phrases. I could be wrong maybe that's true for all Indo-European languages?

Is philosophy able to solve this?
Philosophy can certainly analyze this. That's a straightforward matter of lining up arguments and subjecting them to scrutiny.
Some measure of "solution" will be found in the things that are then shown to not hold. And part of this exercise is a rigorous debate about the concepts in general.
But do not expect to end up with convictions. This is rather about perspective and reflection.
In the end, you may find that the assumptions you had before going into the conversation turn out to be transformable to something more useful.
That's a rather silly question. :) I think almost by definition, stutter is something we would like to be rid of.
But I get what you're saying about identity. That's what very likely happens when something's been with us for so long.
However, the question doesn't really ask us about that, and we're not really answering it when we speak like this. We're instead using the notion to reflect on ourselves.
The question as occasion, then, is fair enough, I suppose. But we don't need "magic" to speak of these things. :)
"Pragmatism" has many different meanings. Probably what you have in mind is something like "doing whatever works."
And, for the OP's edification, this particular meaning is not the one which correlates with the philosophical movement usually credited to Peirce, James, and Dewey.
Peirce
As far as I recall, at some point, he even considered calling his branch "pragmaticism" to distinguish it from pragmatism.
Of course there are traffic problems... with Spider-Man walking about in the road.
Yeah, it's not really a solvable conundrum. Unless we're able to drum up a quick explanation, but that's not exactly reliable, since we might stutter on that as well.
I used to hate being on the phone, but it's part of my job now, so I had to deal with it. Being comfortable with the situation certainly helps, I'd say.
Syntax fucko
CGI has come a long way since then.
Only if you throw enough money at it.

enjoyment problem
Please define further. It's not quite clear as is.
Are you asking if it's okay to be "happy"?
Thank you! We’re actually not together but work very hard at coparenting peacefully, so these little moments are very precious.
That makes it even more brilliant to hear all of you laughing together! :) I was going to say the video was even cut a little short in that regard, because I felt like there was more waiting for us. ;)
Who’s Gord?
What, you never visited House of Gord (NSFW)?
At first, I thought you were asking if the animals themselves had universal languages. Like, do French dogs think American dogs bark with an accent?
Animals wouldn't think other animals spoke with an accent. That's a human notion. ;)
Animals do have the cognitive capacity to detect "different", though, so that'd be the closest equivalent.
EDIT: Hi everyone - please note that the above is merely a point about how we use these concepts. :)
Cows have regional accents
Yes, nothing I said goes against that. :)

And if you perceive as if the eyes are on his right shoulder, you'll see him jumping away from you, logo pulled to the right of his back. But his right hand is out of whack, of course.
Ooh, rainbows
I think you should start here: r/linux
Numerically mirrored? Sure.
Ontically? Nope.
You know, this sentence betrays all the rest of your submission.
It really doesn't.
Think about in in a wide perspective. How do you reach that state? What does it require from others? How would they need to be situated in relation to you?
I take action to exist given my environment, then on my 'free time' do nothing. What's your point.
And what does this tell you about generic ties we have?
Generic ties?
What does it tell you about what we all have to do?
We don't have to do anything. But given out environment, we have to do certain things to ensure our existence. Assuming one has the goal of goals achieved state and is able to eliminate all other values (outside of existence which is needed to be in a goals achieved state).
And thus, what does it tell you about all the somethings rather than nothings?
... Yeah, you're gonna have to be more specific. Your comment didn't really point out a problem.
Let's call it simply - privilege, then.
You are where you are because of so many other people making it possible for you to be where you are.
Is that specific and simple enough? I'm trying to get you to think in a wider perspective.
But that's not what the trolley problem asks us. The trolley problem isn't about deciding what characteristics make someone worthy of living.
So, I guess we don't have the same idea about "setup". I think there's a very clear parallel between the two imagined cases. But you don't, and we don't need to rehearse it any further than that.
