Rat-tat-tat, Brush skirmish continues.

I'm working my way through Dan Simmons' Ilium right now. Fun stuff. I reread Hyperion recently and I'll be rereading The Fall of Hyperion soon. Simmons is a hugely entertaining writer with a great grasp of whatever genre he writes in. The audio book version of Hyperion is also fantastic; they have ...

Whatever, we all know science is bullshit.

I'm so tired of seeing this bathroom nonsense, so I'm going to solve this once and for all: 1) Demolish all bathrooms. 2) Build a circular, communal bathroom at the center of every building, to be shared by all. 3) The round bathrooms will have no dividers--only a few dozen toilets, all facing inwar...

So the claim is different people are supporting each other on patreon as a way to "prime the pump" and this is unethical. Let's set aside the ethics for a moment and look at the actual claim itself. If this is true it should be stupidly easy to prove. Please present either audio or video evidence o...

This seems like completely overblown nonsense.

So what if they support each other? That amounts to 4 or 5 extra supporters, at most. Who gives a fuck? They still only get paid when they actually produce.

Maybe they just support their friends to...be supportive of their friends? Also, doesn't Patreon take a cut of all proceeds? If so, then handing money back and forth would just reduce the amount they actually get to keep.

Nothing I've heard about this sounds unethical so far.

I've been quiet all this time because I was the only one who respected the red stickers. Try not to think of me as a hero.

In Watson's defense, Radford is not clear. There is an underlying threat of a legal lawsuit, but one simply has not been initiated. I personally would have chatted with a lawyer. I don't think I would need a full $4k for that type of a chat as no lawsuit appeared to be imminent. But if your busines...

I've never seen a demographic breakdown. However, someone did a breakdown of the SJW-controlled companies in the Gaming press. They ended up being somewhere around 95% white men. It was a damn good laugh considering how many of them were ripping the developers for 'not being inclusive' enough. It's...

By placing the word "rape" in quotes like that, are you implying that rape isn't an issue? :naughty:

I don't know whether it's cognitive dissonance or outright dishonesty, but PZ's latest post regarding his false rape accusation manages to so adroitly miss the point that I am literally laughing with rage and admiration.

Hi, just thought I'd pop in and say I'm reserving judgement on this whole "9/11" thing.
