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

I never got completely into Skyrim. Loved Oblivion so hard. I feel like I'm missing something but fuck that fucking climbing mountain shit was some fucking boring ass balls to get to that one big quest I just oculd not be even fucked.

Got Borderlands 2 now. Quite fun.

No. No. NO.

Someone on my twitter feed linked me to this story. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/09/07/i ... nt-to-end/

Which is a fucking giant wankfest of stupid.

I like this person. I respect 'em. I'm about to bang my head off a wall.

I've always wanted to attend a scio meeting (and I've had a science blog for several years), but never can go because the timing falls smack dab in the middle of one of the courses I direct and am primary lecturer for (which can't be changed, like, EVER). Wonder if I'd be similarly shunned or banne...

Wait, an attack on Gurdur ? Possibly the most friendly and decent bloke on the internets? Interestingly I've noticed that he's sudden got a huge rush of followers. :) I dont know all the details (I dont think he has shared much publicly), but he was also deathly ill. Attacking the really nice sick ...

Thanks for the vote of confidence rayshul. But please do be careful â€“ I wouldnâ€™t want you to jeopardize your actual or potential standing in the â€œGender Traitors Internationalâ€ [GTI] .... ;-) But in passing to kill two birds with one stone (so to speak) and relative to your comment about th...

To be more positive though... you know what I have found really impressive as an organisation that combines social justice with atheism/humanism? http://foundationbeyondbelief.org/ Donated a short while ago to one of their programs and I think I'm going to add them to my regular donation places. I a...

It just struck me now, and I am boggled it hasn't before. You know what really reeks about "safe spaces" for these precious snowflakes whose feelings are far more important than mine or anyone else "not of the faith"? It is precisely the same head space as - **IMAGE** Used to justify social policin...

It seems Black Svan can only put up another bitchcry post whenever the pushback starts to get her down. Anything to get the posters and fellow Baboons putting their arms around her and repeating her bullshit. That is the technique that worked extremely well for Skepchick. You get one important pers...

(Oh and I see oolon turns up for good measure, and continues to prove that he/she/it still hasn't grasped the primacy of objectivity in critical thinking) I quite like oolon for reasons I will not get into. I hope he continues to do his thing here and there. BTW, where is Justicar's sparring partne...

Cannot unsee.

Although here's something interesting - right now there's more people on A+ than on the Slymepit for what I believe is the first time I've seen it (and I lurk a lot). :? OH GOSH THE MATRIARCHY IS COMING...

More lazy journalists begging to be exploited - http://www.religiondispatches.org/dispatches/guest_bloggers/6415/atheist_schism_/ Loving the comments on that. Would like to see more anti-A+ journalism articles. (Well, let me rephrase that. How about... truthful A+ articles.) And yes I could do this...

Also, things to watch out for: John Brown vs PhysioProffe. I feel like there will be some breed of beat down occuring.

They're getting very very close to the point where they won't be able to talk at all for fear of offending someone. I wonder how many people claiming offense are actually Poes, though. I mean I know I've considered wandering in there and claiming offense at all kinds of words (like slaves, uhuh. On ...

Actually liking the maths, since it's well within my undergrad mathematics knowledge, haha. I see that GenerallyFading disccussed the victim mentality earlier - I really agree, if you keep treating people like victims or making them think like victims, there's... never going to be a solution. I don'...

I thought that 250,000 per year number was what came from the UN stats, which coves 65 countries.

Blackford posted this the other day - great article about victim culture relating to Muslims, but I'm sure it's applicable everywhere.

So, here the point of the story. Well my little point, anyway. I thought for ages how to begin responding to this enormous pile of crap, weirdness and distortion. Where does one begin? What does one say? I like to think I'm rarely stumped, but I was actualy struggling to launch. Then in one of thos...

Not quite sure what precautions against rape are, now I think about it - is that like taking the pill? I don't remember that as part of our sex ed in high school or anything else. Is this something that's taught in other countries?

She seems so absolutely desperate to get people to hate the Slymepit, that she seems to have joined the FTB lot, since nobody on the rational side is having any of it.

Nice responses there to that bit of completely fucked up FUCKERY.

I donâ€™t know about Benson as she tends to make quite a bit of sense in a number of other areas â€“ though with some notable blind spots. But some of the antics of McCreight and Hensley really canâ€™t reasonably be considered the behaviour of â€œadultsâ€™. And reading through some of Atheism-Plus ...

Not entirely sure I understand your interpretation there as itâ€™s an idea Iâ€™ve sort of been â€œfiddling withâ€ since it is, I find anyway, a little intricate and somewhat problematic... Are you telling me we've been spending years breeding McReights and Bensons. Oh sweet fuck. Hadnâ€™t really g...

You were just so right you felt you had to tell me twice, eh? :) Mmm, that's a fair point (and I'm clarifying that by saying that I think the point you're making is that they're right - that women are weak, child-like, paranoid, emotional and less capable). I would probably never say that all of any...

It doesn't help that Red team and Blue team tend to get a substantial portion of their campaign money from the same donors, either.... Mass immigration is one issue where this shows. It lowers wages for workers so traditionally much of the left was against it. Cesar Chavez 's group used to beat up ...

Seems to me that one could argue that if Muslim women â€“ and no few Western women â€“ are like that then maybe the reason is that Islam in particular â€“ and, until fairly recently, Western cultures â€“ has restricted the educational opportunities of women â€“ as a group â€“ to such an extent that...

Is it a consequence of the war between the sexes? A serious deficiency of empathy? A manifestation of a basic sociopathology if not psychopathology? Whatever the reason it sure looks to be a pervasive one extending to both sexes and variations thereof: we have seen the enemy and he is us â€¦. What ...

Rays: "I'm not allowed to discuss politics, but I am finding the "left vs right" divide isn't that helpful to me.

I think the insults are terrifically silly. :) Aside from ones with I think are actually genuinely dangerous to throw around - rape enabler, for one - I don't see much issue with all the insults.

There's a wide mix of left, centre and right here. But the one thing we certainly are all agreed on is that as far as atheism and theism is concerned, its all fucking irrelevant . Yeah, pretty much. I do think that the American right is far, far more of a threat to secular liberties than our left i...

Weeell. I'm honestly scared of people who think like that.

Speaking for myself, being called a "moronic meat head" and suchlike by the baboons does not trouble me in the slightest, never has and probably never will, so yes it probably went sailing right over my head. Probably my being somewhat of an Aspie contributes to it also. I think the insults are ter...

Josh just makes me pity him, really. He does seem to live a miserable, angry life, doesn't he? Josh doesn't need your pity. He thinks he's a mighty Web Warrior. Who, with his super-power of typing the words 'fuck off', effortlessly defeats all who dare oppose him. If he ever feels a bit down he's g...

I'm having a bit of a problem finding the original question asked to Jillette by the twitter user @skipterrio. Does anyone know of a service that allows you to search really old tweets? Seems to be a few different ones here... not sure how good they are. http://blog.tweetsmarter.com/twitter-search/...

I'm hoping these A+ers in what sounds like very unfortunate circumstances get help, but again I don't think they're going to get help in their, er, as MKG says, gated situation. There ar...

You can however read a fair extract (enough to give you an idea of the content) here: http://books.google.ie/books?id=5IKHbZacWJYC&lpg=PP1&ots=7fLMbMx9dJ&dq=patai+daphne&pg=PA2&redir_esc=y#v=onepage&q=patai%20daphne&f=false Found chapter 1 - http://www.sfu.ca/~decaste/OISE/page2/files/ProfessingFem...

Where might one find an e-version of this interesting book that everyone's talking about? There is unfortunately none.

I underlined what I see as some of the "tells", but I will let people make their own inferences as to how this relates to PeeZuss and his baboons. Any bells ringing? Those are not ordinary bells people, it is the emergency warning siren. Goes a long way to explaining the hysterical reaction of the ...

Some excerpts from Professing Feminism, the text I linked to a bit ago - Regarding identity politics: "One effect of these practices is to stretch the meaning of words such as harassment and racism, so that everyone in the group is able to qualify as a victim.

I seem to remember reading at the time that Dawkins' project to implement childcare began like 6 months prior to the whole elevator kerfluffle. If I'm wrong, please correct me.

You know, what makes me feel a bit awkward about this is that I really don't think that talking about how oppressed you are is really the best way of dealing with things. I don't think it's inspiring or positive for, say, young people reading these things. I feel like if I'd been exposed to anything...

Even if that's true, how does that excuse the accusation? What other women does she include in this "compilation" and how have they been "rewarded"?

One of Sweden's national newspapers (DN) institutes a policy of not using the word "hen" (equivalent of the "hir" or "ze" rubbish) in news stories (excepting quotes obviously).

MKG I may have to disagree - I use smileys as part what I write. More like punctuation, although in some cases they can serve to convey an entire sentiment. Think of it that instead of having a ? or a ! or a . or even an interrobang, but we also have :D and a :( and a :shock: to use. So not as a way...
