http://i.imgur.com/rGR0D9n.jpg Yeah, Brony. The A+theism forums are an excellent home for a Rhetorical Assasins Guild. Absolutely. I'm sure Ceepolk, Setar and the other inmates will be happy to assist you. In the meantime I will buy me a jumbo bag of popcorn. http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/...

I would love to know what Benson, Watson, Christina, et al, think of EBW's treatment at the hands of The Horde. Heh...you won't see a fucking word about it. No one crosses PeeZus. Ask McCreight about that shit. (Of course, now, if they remain silent, we're right. If they say anything, it's just to ...

Can you tell about or link to this technique you figured out? Sticky footers. I came up with the way to do it all the way to IE6 (IE7 just came out) back in the day, then without a container at all. Yesterday I came up with this: http://pastebin.com/HAifF7qV Which is probably the best way I've seen...

What I don't understand about this whole PyCon drama is how come sexual-innuendo jokes are inappropriate. Presumably everyone at the conference was an adult or mature enough to understand that the vast majority of human beings possess genitalia of some kind. So why can't people joke about them? Why...

(don't know if somebody already posted this). It seems that Adria and the drama-llama are very good friends. This is a blog entry from another women that had conflicts with her in the past over Adria getting offended over stupid shit: http://amandablumwords.wordpress.com/2013/03/21/3/ Good article,...

The problem with "rape culture" as a term is that they don't mean "the US is a rape culture." They mean -- there exist people who manifest attitudes that, in the aggregate, conceivably make rape more common/excusable/less-reported. This is, I think, obviously true. But then you slide right down the...

What is this chill girl shit I've been seeing?

Anyone here want an edit button? If you could find a plugin that had the post's past history, then sure.

I SEE YOU ON KNIEF'S FACEBOOK PAGE VACULA!

"94% of Men DO NOT commit sexual assault" Don't think of a black cat! Assuming the stat to be correct (just assuming) the way to phrase such a thing is "94% of men are good people" or other such positivism. That is unless you are trying to reinforce the idea that men commit sexual assualt. I am act...

Sam Harris did an excellent article on guns and gun control. I recommend it highly:

Regarding Cruz-Feinstein-Maddow... Did I miss a memo where it's been decided that women can be complete dicks (yes, I used that word) simply because they're women? If so, I plan on making up for lost time. Women are wonderful, you see. Any time they are aggressive it is justified, and if you dare s...

I'd like to point out that my sales reports have doubled, as of today. So if the Pit had any doings in this (I know MKG did), thanks a lot again. This is a breeze of fresh air. When I was in my teens I used to listen to you fuckers almost as much as I did Blind Guardian and Rhapsody of Fire. You we...

Becky could not sound more like a spoiled teenage valleygirl in that reddit panel video if she tried. The intonation, pitch, condescension just LEAKING through made it seem like she was going to z-snap and say "talk to the hand"

I'm reminded of something Terry Pratchett wrote: No enemies had ever taken Ankh-Morpork. Well, technically they had, quite often; the city welcomed free-spending barbarian invaders, but somehow the puzzled raiders always found, after a few days, that they didn't own the own horses anymore, and with...

Do all these 'freeze peach' idiots just plain not understand the philosophical basis that the right to free speech is built upon, or are they just being willfully ignorant/obtuse in their special-pleading whinging about how a private entity does not have to follow constitutional law?

There's been a massive invasion of FtB-types on 4chan as of late, I guess. It wouldn't surprise me.

I seriously think that Anita believes that video games with female protagonists can only be not emulations of male characters if there is no combat involved. It's the only logical conclusion to arrive at, given her disdain for masculinity in general. The hypocrisy of supposed 3rd wave feminists clin...

Give me a bit (like a day, I'm going out to a nightclub to celebrate my fiancee's friend's 30th) and I'll debate you, because I agree and disagree with points you make.

Yeah I just checked out the JSON feed of her post. Her twitter post claiming vandalism was done at Sat Mar 09 16:33:16 EST. The Wikipedia 'vandalism' was done Sat Mar 9 17:05 EST.

BTW, I use the word "dick" as freely as I would "bitch", "asshole", and many other "gendered" slang words.

It comes, largely, from projection of stereotypical and largely relevant feminine mindsets onto men. I'm trying to handle with the kiddiest gloves possible, but by and large, we do in fact live in a culture where girls and women are taught they are deserving of a rich, successful man , and that any...

This is just after her and Adrian Chen talked about how reddit is full of pedophiles etc.,

So this just happened:

Rebecca Watson and interrupts the founder of imgur giving a talk demanding her say on how shitty reddit is

It would not surprise me at all if erik wasn't a user named Aerik from reddit. He's a notorious idiot.

The other problem is that the "drunk rape" scenario has a certain degree of gray areas in it. If someone is passed out and the other person has sex with them, it is rape, but where do we set the limit when a person's alcohol intake impairs their ability to give consent? What happens if both of them...

Something that MRAs often complain about, but I haven't seen a lot of data on, is fase rape accusations. I'd imagine pretty rare, but I vaguely remember someone mentioning a study that suggested an unbelievably high fraction (as in I didn't believe it), I thought it was at the Slymepit but a quick ...

It is changing, and that is indeed a good thing, and I don't disagree that having the financial stability to make a choice is a privilege, but what I'm specifically refuting was your original comment about women being privileged because they traditionally "get" to stay at home. Historically, they d...

One place I do agree with the feminists' view is how women are portrayed in comic books. Years ago when my nephew was 5 or 6 he received a free X-Men comic from some restaurant we went to, and he had me read it to him. There was nothing particularly sexist about the plot or dialogue, but the female...

She also completely, completely ignores the fact that up until the last decade, maybe two, women gamers, as far as anyone could tell, didn't really exist in force. This was due to ignorance and programmer bias, at least mostly. Game designers were mostly male, and so wrote the games they wanted to ...

I had lunch with Dan Barker today. He corrected a mensa flash card for being incorrect, and he was right. That is all. He is a great speaker and debater.

Schrodinger's Rapist translated: "I as a woman have been taught to irrationally fear men due to both patriarchal upbringing, feminist whinging, and just my own feels.

I missed the boat a while ago, but the long hair/short hair thing comes from men serving in the military. If you had long hair as a man, you didn't serve in the military, and thus were some dope-smoking hippie. Women's long hair preference has mostly been a thing relating to wealth and health, much ...

Is the Slymepit interested in a logo of some kind?

I had a beer with Sean Faircloth a while back. I cannot believe he'd actually allow this.

Yes, sure, as long as you tout the party line and don't go all CRAZY MRA or SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE on them.
