Thanks :)

Oh, and GoT, the book sucks ass. Worst writing since OB's latest - what that was.

And my question is: why do people want to pay money to see/watch someone who has no quals to speak about something they are on a stage to speak about? Back at JREF I was told that if I wanted knowledge I shouldn't go to these things. Is that right? I've never been to one but I'm keen to go - even i...

Ta mate. D/l.

PZ has another of his weird, religion hankering posts on Pharyngula today. If he could step back for a second to look at himself he'll find himself saying exactly what the likes of Ray Comfort say - that atheists just need to see the light and accept their savior. http://i.imgur.com/rRL0S4F.jpg I'd...

This is what I try to tell people who get all worried. Once you get about a meter away from FTB and Skepchicks, they don't exist. They don't have any influence outside of their own little cultoids, and they can't even pull in decent comments unless they're trolling for hits. The worst thing that co...

Tom Foss / June 17, 2013, 12:21 pm Iâ€™d love to have a job where I could skip out on my duties to write stuff on the Internet attacking a colleague/guest/supporter of my organization, and then get full support from my bosses for doing so, without so much as a slap on the wrist. How did Ron Lindsay...

Ok, from the pile of diarrhea that Becky wrote, this quote is a fine example of her lazy bullshit: For the past two years Iâ€™ve worked my ass off to make their annual CSICon a success, by hosting their parties , getting the SGU and other popular speakers involved , helping them create a gender-equ...

She wouldn't do you. Even if you were Brad Pitt. You're a cunt and she hates saying that word while she's cuming... at least that's what I've heard.

I really need to go to bed.

T'shirt designs go here:

Thank you for your time and fuck off. All of you. It's way too late here and it's all your fault.

For anyone who may be interested I'm looking for t'shirt designs for a potential SP shirt. In other words, I'm fucked at graphics and need help waaaaaahhhhhh. Suggestions go here, in this thread. Something in the spirit of the 'pit would be good. Welcome and fuck off was my first thought but.... Che...

Right. Cool. I have a muso friend who does screens for shirts/napkins/etc in his spare time who was happy to do a short run but that might be better. I'll check it out. I'm happy to fund it and also happy for any funds to go wherever after that. I'd love to have an SP shirt to wear around at gigs an...

So, re: t'shirts... I doubt anyone here gives a shit but I'm going to get some made anyway. The provisor that I got was that the boss wanted one for free. Too easy. But I'm having trouble with a few things: 1) The design (though I've had a few awesome ideas after the last few pages), and 2) How to ...

Also, regarding O.B.'s metal state, I'm inclined to believe that she's a bit fucked up atm. Why? I've read her old stuff and her new stuff and the comparison is stark. As far as online diagnosis, pfffft. Of course someone can make a diagnosis. If you're not qualified at all or you have no knowledge ...

The narrative was set up years ago of course. Maybe I'm being a little cynical but to me it's classic product placement. Create a problem that doesn't exist then sell the solution. That's the way I've always thought of it, except I tend to think of it in religion-building terms rather than product ...

Some people use anonymity to empower their ability to be a shithead.

Watching that video and some others it made me wonder. These kids that protest, they're Uni student. How are their fees paid? If they're working to pay their fees surely that's supporting The Patriarchy? And if their parents are supporting them that's probably money that comes from The Patriarchy to...

Ophelia F Benson has signed the petition again. Oh the harassment!

So just to clarify, it's ok to sign the petition with a 'nym? More than likely my partner will sign it but just in case she doesn't want to use her name... 100% OK to sign with a 'nym. We only remove 'nyms (to the 'removed' page) if they contain swearing, namecalling or impersonation, since that co...

Ophelia Benson finally got a real job!

one of the reasons I was banned from FtB was for simply creating an account at Slymepit.

I accidently stumbled on the following 'satire' posted on Lousy Canuck's site. It's written by JoshSpokesGay, the Oscar Wilde of the FTB comment section (at least they seem to think so!) So, all you aspiring satirists out there, if you are ever criticised by the FTB commenters for making something ...

Sarkeesian doesn't deserve to have her video flagged, despite the fact that she's using copyrighted content in her video. That's fair use, because she's critiquing it. By the same token, anyone who has critiqued Those Pesky Dames videos should not have had their content flagged down simply because ...

Anita's new video was a bit of a bore. She added a lot of games, expanding is good, but it was at the cost of commentary. One thing was that men have lost their masculinity or feel guilty because their loved one dies, so they go out for revenge. They have to be "repaid" for losing their precious ob...

FWIW, I was introduced to franc's blog the other day and to me it's a gold mine. I love it. The writing is fantastic and yes, there are some parts that make me raise an eyebrow or two but rather with a wry smile than a disproving shake of the head. I've learnt a lot reading the posts there.

Wait a minute. Wasn't there an issue with doxxing just recently? Yeah right. Mykeru, for your video. You should add a nice juxtaposition combining Ophelia Benson's latest (and Zvan's comment) with these. A quick background info. Jen McCreigh tweeted an image containing possible info about her locat...

Any upcoming vids Mykeru?

Get real Justin. I haven't said anything about whether or not you going to Dublin is an effective use of your time. I've just noted that you seem to have given yourself at least a $1000 "cushion". Yup, a bit more clarity about this would be welcomed. Initial low estimates include... Registration - ...
