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

Perfect example of sausage making at FreethoughtBlogs. Here I tell some folks to not be spammy with Greg Epstein, or spammy overall. I did not include Epstein himself, but his name was part of a larger conversation. And here is Ophelia Benson reporting about the case ( archive link ). What you will ...

Starship troopers and Robocop had this direct-to-video flair... though this is pretty cool:

You have to cut Aratina a bit of slack and curb the tyranny of the majority just a bit. Aratina isnâ€™t a representative of some side.

As I said before, morality might be best described as a way to take sides, so it depends on ideology. I think this is the main reason why we disagree. If you see morality as a way to take sides you have, in my humble opinion, a very warped view of what morality is. The foundation of morality aren't...

When PZ had a list of who was banned, he got yelled at for it. When we made a list of who The Block Bot blocked, we got yelled at for it.

Apparently men do vocal fry as well, only they aren't blamed for it, unlike women.

Rebecca Watson claims, verbatim, that Stef McGraw and others were parrotting â€œmiysogynistic thoughtâ€ [13:56] , where pro sexual assault and rape, and would laugh down rape-victims who stand up for themselves.
