On the off-chance that you might be referring to my comment on Super Slow Slyme, I base that statement on the fact that of the 15 or so blogs I visit every day, several of which are the same style of phpBB blog as the Pit, the Pit is the only one, I repeat, the only one that is slow. And this has b...

This has got to be the vaculariest vacularing that I've ever vaculad:

Hopefully this will dispel confusion.

Laden reviews PZ Myers new book. http://scienceblogs.com/gregladen/2013/06/25/pz-myers-is-the-happy-atheist/ Atheists come in many varieties. For example, they can be angry like Greta Christina, or they can be Friendly, like Hemant Mehta, or they can be Positive, like all the Atheists in Minnesota....

All you fuckers settle down or I'll start talking about the Middle East...and bread.

"Appeal to XKCD" should be some sort of formal logical fallacy.

I'm actually pretty cranky either way.

Bullshit. First, Groseclose's assertion that his self-admitted biases are irrelevant because COMPUTERS is absolutely relevant to his argument. At best they show a penchant for wooly thinking and at worse are an attempt to bamboozle his critics. Second, you have repeatedly stated that criticizing Gr...

I appreciate the reasoned and critical reply - I agree that there are issues with his model (so does he, as I recall) but I do not find those issues fatal. Really? You dont consider the fact that his model fails to accurately model the behavior its intended to in well-known and common situations to...

[quote="Mark Thomas" Finally - Groseclose's one sentence about programming is not relevant to his argument, which is detailed at length in his various papers and book. You can disagree with his argument - the Amazon reviewer clearly does. But in my opinion if you disagree with his argument without g...

...HuffPo, who may be the embodiment of "liberal media". And that sentence right there sums up this idiocy. If Ariana Huffington is "Liberal" I'm Fidel mother-fucking Castro.

So Nugent will respond, and no doubt he will â€œmake a standâ€ and agree with Sub Man that my blog post about â€œSkep tickleâ€ is like the Nuremberg Race Law of 1935. Either he will disinvite me from the conference, or I will be forced to withdraw, because the slime pit will do whatever it takes ...

But I think it's clear that major national news organizations lean left. That's the point, what you consider "leaning left" is probably skewed by "gaming the ref". In point of fact, the United States has a wing that is "left" only in a relative sense and certainly wouldn't be considered left-wing i...

If you are a woman and you feel save and loved you are part of the problem. Shut up and listen. Something like that, yes.

Yeah, yeah. I know a majority of you aren't keen on AVfM. However, there is a recent post put out there I find extremely interesting.

Because rules need to be as objective as possible so even names we would consider reasonable can't be included as that is a subjective decision. Or there's this simple take on it.

The Pit is so funny when it's bored. No, wait, not funny. Retarded. I meant retarded.

Indeed.

The great thing about that is, when you're done with the lube you have a place for the corpse.

Who was lying this time? Greta Christina or PZ Myers? They should get their story straight. Was Justin Vacula perceived as an acute threat, the cause of widespread anxiety among the cowering delegates, or was he considered a nonentity at the Women in Secularism conference? Myers claims the latter: ...

Spot on for the leaders, but I think even the commentariat and the A+ers are doing it more for the personal satisfaction, the feeling of being on the right side, the feeling of being someone important (even if only within thier little cliq), in the case of A+, the personal power of getting others t...

As a card-carrying honkey, I can use the word "cracker" all the live-long day.

They do *not* have a political agenda. They use political agendas (feminism, racial diversity, environmentalism) as a shield to protect their PERSONAL AGENDAS from criticism. If they had a political agenda (feminism, racial diversity, environmentalism), that would be fine. The vast majority of the ...

I don't think the popups are as much desperation as ignorance. Making money from a website is not HARD work, but it is work, and for ads to work, you have to be rather knowledgable about the whole thing. No one at FTB strikes me as having that skill set. They're a bit of a landmine for sponsors bec...

I feel there are some here, that would like us to level up a little. In that regard, I also reject picking on Ophelia Benson or other people just for the sake of it or based on some superficial reason (appearance, gender, or whatever).

Has Marcotte ever bothered to learn english? "How Feminism Makes Better Skeptics: The Role Rationality Plays in Ending Sexism" is actually at odds with itself. The first part states that feminism makes "better" skeptics. Okay, sounds off, but sure, by all means, prove that. Be pretty cool if you ca...
