If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

I don’t necessarily object to climate action protests, but given the age of most of the kids I’m seeing, this feels much more like that old Jesuit line: “Give me the child and I’ll give you the man”. The fairy story is that these kids just spontaneously organized a global protest on their own, cuz ...

Only weird thing is that they were driving well under the speed limit.

Saw a P Plater with a giant Trump 2020 flag flying off the back of their car on the way home today.

Eh, I don't mind flat-chested, as it tends to go with super petite and that tends to work for me. Never been to a stripper bar, though.

]Rather, almost everyone gets the majority of their information from the major media unskeptically signal boosting press releases from climate change activist organizations,whose claims are falsely presented as science-based. Eh, this is true, but I think the media manipulations. The Amazon rainfor...

Eh, debates about whether god exists, however cordial, aren’t very interesting, and ultimately pointless because it isn’t a position you reason your way into (and probably out of either, if I’m honest). But, going into the underlying meaning crisis that’s at the heart of the Western malaise, is fasc...

Perhaps one of the weirdest things about the current era, is that some of the more interesting conversations are happening between atheists and the religious. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDFL3xwEEG8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QKDm10S8As Paul VanderKlay's videos can be fascinating too.

I don't want to be a member of any club that would accept me.

My beer googles aren't quite enough for that yet.

I'm just waiting for last call.

It's like the short horror story:

The last human on earth sat in a locked room. There's a knock at the door.

Best to check. Ask yourself for a second opinion.

At some point you have to look at the numbers. It seems far more likely that you're the crazy one, rather than everyone else being crazy and you being the only sane one.

Kill everyone at birth. This satisfies the pro-abortionists, and the pro-death penalty. If it's mandatory across the board, then we don't have to take the risk that they might be guilty. Guaranteed to completely solve the problem in a generation.

So it's finally happened in real life. A person I unfortunately just met, with clear socialisation problems, is getting others to refer to them as "they". I'd give a clear pronoun myself, but I honestly can't tell. What pronoun does the "they" use to refer to theyselves? "We"? According to me, anyo...

The left one is slightly bigger.

I didn't really get too much into comics. I love Frank Cho's Liberty Meadows, but I stopped following him after he went to work for Marvel. He did get me into Budd Root's Cavewoman, though:

A finger is a good place to start, but get back to us when she gets her whole fist in.

That's pretty funny.

Finally found a sport I'm prepared to sit down and watch with a beer:

It's okay if it's someone you don't like. It's not okay if you like the person.

I thought MLK had already been unpersoned, because judging people by their content of their character, rather than their skin colour, is racist. Not seeing colour is a microaggression, after all.

Pretty much proving my point. ;)

Disagreeing with your lt-right shtick means that someone is "totalitarian". Or maybe it's long posts with reference to evidence? That's what totalitarian means, according to you? This is irony. Probably unintentional. Look, I get where you're coming from, but you're just as prone to the "everyone w...

They both come from positions of absolute bollocks, but trying to nail them down in an argument is as difficult as hell because they're both slippery, oily, disingenuous fuckers. That's why it was ironic. Sargon thinks because he's read a few books, he is intellectually unassailable and all his pos...

Both can be true. Sargon's biggest problem is, as, ironically, Richard Spencer put it, he thinks he's much more intelligent then he actually is. Trump, of course, did apologise for "locker room talk", so Sargon's claim that he was just imitating the Trumpian model is already suspect. It can also be ...

That's definitely true. It's become personal for Metokur. If he has anything that triggers him, it's child abuse. That's the only time I've heard him become seriously angry. Makes sense considering his history almost becoming a teacher.

That's what I meant by Sargon's Jihad. Sargon had that "Hello Jim" stream where he implied Jim was grooming children. I think Metokur is only throwing the shit back.

I watched "This Week in Stupid" for a while, probably more than a year ago. I have generally stopped watching videos where someone is reading newspaper articles because I can read faster than they can talk so I spend the entire video thinking that if I just had the link to the article I could read ...

You could even say you've had a Dark Enlightenment.

Haven't completely got through this, but the first half hour I've seen so far is very interesting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ME54BibXfYs In particular: "The nones are not children of the enlightenment.

I recall a stream a while back with Jim, Ethan Ralph and Carl. There were a few barbed quips from Ralph re Benjamin's stillborn child. Jim holding himself to a higher standard did not participate - though he did read out other peoples superchats on the subject in a later stream. Yeah, Jim is my nih...

It's a pity any discussion about climate change policy inevitable degrades into whether it's human's fault and actually happening. One can agree it's happening and is human's fault and still disagree about the best course of action.

According to the nightly news (ITV) May want's to stay on for the D-Day commerorations on 6th June and Trump's state visit and then stay as caretake til Septenber while the party chooses a leader over the summer recess. She's not called Teflon Theresa for nothing. Also early exit poll indicators sh...

Yeah, I'm not that excited by Albo. I'm fairly sure that if he was opposition leader after Rudd stood down, he'd have been Prime Minister at the previous election. Now, his time has largely passed. I'm a little surprised that no one else is running, especially how keen Shorten was to prevent him bec...

It wasn't as bad as I expected. Only one person brought the election up, with a dig at Queensland, but no one else took the bait. There are people out there who believe in cosmic balance and that justice will prevail. If Game of Thrones has taught us anything, it's that it aint so (and that tits and...

I thought this just passed Australian election was relatively benign, if uninspiring. I wasn't too surprised by the result, but given that where I live was never going to be a surprise in the outcome, I didn't invest too much into my decision. I only cast a formal vote for the Senate. https://www.sp...

Am I the only person on the Pit who didn't follow Goldy's every move?

Here's a present for Kirb to show no hard feelings:

I prefer to see it as the glass half full. At least one of the two parties I didn’t want to win, lost. I could concentrate on the other one winning, but that would just make me sad.

Always look on the bright side of life.

Looks like a surprise victory for ScoMo. I was expected Labor to win.
