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

The topic of feminist transphobia came up a little upthread. Here's a video from a feminist who calls herself GataAggressiva411 called "Transwomen are not Females." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMTpFHHwpF0 It's got a little bit of everything: first world problems, venn diagrams, privilege shaming...

A quick tangent on the FTB ads- I seem to remember PZ Myers justifying taking money from Scientology ads and such because it wastes their money on ads that won't reach their intended audience. (a) I think his readers are the probably exactly the kind of people Scientology has in mind for their ads. ...

I was just reading Adam Lee's propaganda piece on Atheism+ from a few months back. I don't know how he typed some of this with a straight face: The groundswell of enthusiasm for Atheism+ shows that the idea tapped into a widespread sentiment within the atheist community. And then A+ died in its crib...

That latest Al Stefanelli video is pure gold, please watch.

A quick note for Eucliwood- Maybe she really is trolling the board. If so, apologies for prolonging everyone's irritation. She seems like she genuinely is having a hard time understanding why she's getting a hard time, though. So, here's my advice, Eucli, for what it's worth: -Expect that anyone wil...

I come here not to bury the periodic table of swearing, but to praise it. Many lulz were had therein, and I lurked for 99% of them. Thanks, guys, for mining some great entertainment from this ongoing FreethoughtsBorg trainwreck.

Shit, you called my bluff. Ok, next time I've got three fiddy to spare, you're on.

that is probably the nastiest beer I have ever had .... I didn't know they made it in "40" form the only thing i have seen in stores here is 22s. Oh, yes, it is horrible. That's why I felt pretty confident you wouldn't take me up on it. And, yes, they make 40's of it, and yes, if you drink one it w...

I've been burned before, but I'm a skeptic. Now way he's a goddamn Loch Ness Monster.

I'll give you 3.50, but only if you promise to spend it on a 40 of High Gravity Steel Reserve.

I wouldn't say that $200 shoes are an EXTRAVAGANT expense... probably something you'd get for christmas if you didnt want anything else big... the adults jst bought someone in the family 150 dollar stupid boots... But then again the adult who did it makes a nice amount of money? Nowhere near wealth...

Someday I'll stop mixing up you're and your on the internet.

Dear Greta - Unless you play basketball professionally, $200 shoes are an extravagant expense. Even if you hadn't just recently plead poverty to get other people to pay your health expenses, I would raise an eyebrow at that. Btw, I'm a man. I have an exotic shoe-size and a shoestring (ha!) budget, a...

*stuff irrelevant to what I'm addressing* By the by, BannedAid, it seems that quote in your signature, which you're attributing to Twain is...well, both misattributed and made-up. I learned this when I did some research to make sure I had it right before sharing it, since it is one of my favorite "...

It's good to see Taslima taking some education about men's sexuality. A lot of feminists dismiss the possibility of women raping men because they buy into the myth that men have complete control over their erections. They fail to realize the harm they're doing by perpetuating that myth. Just Look at...

I just don't know where people get the idea that feminists are a bunch of man-hating nutjobs. And I'd like to thank Taslima for my daily dose of "what in the fuck is wrong with these people?"

Love that Dillahunty is deleting comments at a furious pace on a video where he complains that he's being dishonestly portrayed as intolerant of dissent. He must be having a bad night, poor guy.

In defense of Ulysses... I could see putting it down after the first 150 pages. Dedalus is an off-putting character, the prose is equal parts narration and ultra-obscure literary in-jokes, and everybody speaks in this incomprehensible quasi-latin parody of academia. It's not gonna be for everybody. ...

Oh man, the Physioproffe blog is absolutely terrible. Listen, I like to swear as much as the next person but damn, that blog is all fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck. It's bloody painful to read. Or, fucke, fucke, fucke, fucke, as it were. It's like he doesn't realize that he moderates his own blog, an...

Hi, I'm new. I'm just going to jump right in - I was looking for info about the sb/nat geo merger because I was curious how PZ was getting along with the new regime. Big shock, turns out that forcing PZ to post about actual science instead of internet drama has reduced his blog to mostly the occasio...
