That's a brilliant analogy for various forms of waking amnesia. :clap:

Sorry. I lied. And I hate grading, anyway. After this incident, I realized that it is difficult to automatically blame the other party if you had a blackout and woke up with your pants down. That you're out of it does not always mean that you're lying still and sleeping. The above is absolutely corr...

One last piece to my rant and then I must work on something else. If anyone ever tries to use "I would have remembered that (if it had happened), and I don't remember it, so it couldn't have happened" as an argument to "disprove" that something did happen - such as giving consent - just laugh. The p...

Amnesia due to drugs (incl alcohol), inattention, repression, or aging isn't something that turns on a certain point and then extends until another fixed point. There can be "islands" of memory in the wider range of times with little or no recollection. Most folks, for example, don't have a fixed da...

Thanks for posting that. I am aware from wiki and other discussions that blackout drunk didn't mean unconscious but I've never seen it flatly stated that someone who is blackout drunk could very well act in a way such that others don't recognize that person cannot consent. There's actually a bunch ...

As to getting to Level 1 on the Block Bot, it appears that it's difficult to move up. Where you first land is where you'll always be. Why? Because most users seem to set the filter to the lowest setting, so once you're anywhere on the lists, no-one will see your future transgressions. Go big or go h...

I don't see the point? How are you supposed to title a blog about a dishonest article? "Please read this article about another I read"? I took GMeters' comment to be pointing out hypocrisy, not proscriptive on titling in general. One of Michael Nugent's main arguments was that the article in questi...

Hi Michael, The title of your article, â€œAdam Leeâ€™s misleading Guardian article about Richard Dawkinsâ€ is clearly phrased to generate prejudice in readers. Therefore everything you say can be ignored. Cheers, GMeters PS: When one side posts about â€œthis is a pattern of sexist statements from ...

Yeah, from what I can tell, getting in Melody's face about PTSD is the best way to make Level 1 quickly. It's almost like having a cheat-code for a new game. And, in my case, I'm merely some stats nerd who helped revise the DSM, so what do I know about diagnosing?

If somebody has to be pushed in a wheelchair, because they are so drunk, her friends should call an ambulance. The wheelchair claim is a huge make-or-break, in my opinion. That's something that would be noticed. As to the idea that she was calling it rape from the git-go - that, too, is rather impo...

Thing is, if Eisen were evaluating PeeZus' track record for promotion/tenure or for a research grant application, he'd nail him to the fucking wall for lack of publications.

Dear Horneck: go learn what an error bar is, why it may not be either available, or the not most useful measure in these circumstances, and why you haven't provided any estimate of error despite your claim to have done so.

To be honest I'm not as concerned about the potential damage to the "atheist movement" (which is limited) as I am about the damage of SJW-inspired laws. ^ This to the 100th power.

Dude, Dawkins already explained it. Click-bait. I don't think that's a particularly tenable argument.

If that was even partly to me, I can't imagine that I'm not banned by her yet. I may even be on the Block Bot list, if such exists any more.

Just putting my 2 cents in again to say that I don't think using images of people who clearly have Down's Syndrome to represent a stupid person is cool/acceptable/whatever word sounds non-SHWish enough to maintain my Pit cred. My first reaction was to say that folks with Downs don't mind because, a...

I've read that several times, but I'm old (complete with VCR that says that it's 12:00 ... 12:00 ... 12:00)
and I've had too much wine.

So, any of you who follow me saw me ask Oafie to calm down a few minutes ago? Even tho' the very first thing in the tweet was @Oafie....?

Let me get this straight, Mykeru. You're suggesting that The Rapture will occur after enough folks have had a period? That the fate of mankind really does depend on the lunar oozings of va-jay-jays? Well, that sucks. I had put all my money on black.

OK, another I'm-new-to-twitter question: I thought that any tweet that started with an @handle would only be seen by the target person, but I just got Mykeru's tweet that started with @micknugent. Am I wrong about the use of a period before the first @?

It's because they were worried that "My2CentsBlogs" would come across as over-priced.

It's my understanding that most states do have laws about serving visibly intoxicated people. The corner liquor store in NYC has a big sign that says they'll refuse service to anyone who appears to be drunk, and that's a good thing IMO. At some point it becomes obvious bullshit for an individual or...

Twitter fucks up people's follows. Yesterday, I followed BlueShiftRhino, and while logged in, I took a lot at the list of who is following me.

I don't know, it is always claimed that he is so meek and mild in person. Maybe he'd run away and hide at the sight of Dawkins.

Saying 'calm down' is an invalidation of their beliefs which require them to be outraged. And in the borderline personality disorder variant of SJW's, it can be an invalidation of their entire personhood, since they conflate their beliefs with their actual identity. Yes. It goes hand-in-hand with t...

Why is Michael Nugent hammering away on his request that Oafie withdraw her accusation? Is he really that offended by the accusation or is he just testing to see if she'll ever withdraw anything that isn't warranted? It's very difficult to tell. Almost like a POE.

I did a few hours ago, but I don't exactly have a large twitter footprint, this being my second or third day with an account.

My guess, Jack, is that Elam just doesn't give a shit about gaming, saw a chance to post something that he thought was funny, and did so. He's a self-centered asshole. But watch out if you ever stick a joking nose into something he cares about.

Then why did the SFPO say that they had no report a week ago? I'll let go of this when that is explained.
