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

He Renee, I have an idea for your blog network. A blogless comment section. A few of them actually. Call one of them Fitzpharangula and let it be a place for unmoderated comments on whatever is going on at pharangula that day, and Fitzalmostdiamonds etc. A bit more focused than this place, maybe. Wo...

Fairly standard A+ stuff, but still a good example of the feminist kafkatrap: Christo930 starts a thread to talk about post-apocalyptic fiction and fails to respond to a post from a female poster or to show sufficient interest in books by female authors. Predictably depressing results. starts here:...

Grrr. In my reading as of late, I'm finding more and more articles/posts on people (feminists and their "white knights") being all bent out of shape over the lack of the female voice within different fields/topics. For whatever reason, many people tend to attribute this to sexism and the patriarchy...

Re the twitter block bot... You blocked twitter folks have now been discriminated against. the fact that it has the institutional support of Twitter (it must be an institution because if it was a company then surely they would have a model that would make them money) therefore you can never again be...

Seriously, we were joking about Physioprof's style of writing, but now it makes my eyes bleed. "because fucke you, thatteâ€™s why" Fucker shouldn't be allowed near a keyboard. Or a pen. Or chalk. I'm thinking that he may be the only person where disemvoweling his posts would make them easier to read.

TheMudbrooker, yep. Also, they invent problems and then claim to have the solution for it. The only way for those of you who are white and male to be free of the problem is to accept that you have privilege which interferes with your understanding of what they claim, admit that you are wrong, and f...

I hope you've been lurking long enough to recognize our standard greeting. I notice most seem to be avoiding it, though, so I will too. Welcome.

Caught you hoggling, Kabuki-face! :D http://i.imgur.com/uKto08v.png But rest assurred, o vacuous soul of the pomo skeptical movement, no rumours will get started about this. Really, you're not that important. However much you may think otherwise. Hey, bitches! I'm back! :D I'm confused about what w...

Well, if Twitter doesn't seem inclined to care, there's nothing much that can be done about it. So, I don't care either. I know you like Twitter, but to me it really is a completely useless thing. Mild amusement is all I ever get from it, and lately not even that. If my account gets blocked so fuck...

[quote="LMU"in 6157] The deal with the harassment policies as it seemed to me is that if you want to implement a solution for a problem, then you need to do this: 1) Show that the problem exists. 2) Show that your solution would solve the problem. 3) Implement your solution. They wanted to skip righ...

Is anyone else starting to get seriously weirded out by this Chris Clarke guy? He's recently made a few hamfisted feminist posts- nothing new about that, or interesting, really. But what is interesting is that I don't think I've read through a single one of his posts without assuming it was by PZ. ...

This is the kind of thing that pisses me off about the "other side". I can't stand the back channel complaints to people's bosses, supervisors, website owners, etc. etc. If you have a problem with someone, let them on your blog or go on their blog and have at it. Don't sneakily try to get them fire...

here's what {OB} wrote on Discover magazine, Great. My comment is awaiting moderation. I get accused of telling falsehoods, but in stronger langauge than that â€“ and my reply is stuck in moderation. This blog is such a slum. Of course, you wouldn't find the same thing happening on her own blog. :l...

Me neither... I use a Hennessey, although I've modified it a bit.

It's not against Twitters rules to abuse routines built into the site to false flag people for bannings? Wow, Twitter must be run by a bunch of fucking monkeys flinging shit at a keyboard. That's the response from the guy at twitter so low on the totem pole that he has to work during the super bowl...

* what* tool

At the moment I believe that I would rather try my hand at herding cats or nailing jelly to the wall rather than try to come to some sort of agreement on that. PeeZuss Christ!

You didn't get to the best part, Vacula/ TLDR: Straight sex is unnatural, and part of a male conspiracy against women. WOW! That is really...something else. :shock: Ok. That was fucking hard to read. Has no one ever explained to them that they owe their existense to a particular session of PIV sex?...

Why do you need to have had shingles... I just had to have had chicken pox, and I'm not even sure I'd have to prove that since just about everybody here got them when I was a kid.

There is nothing 'wrong' with ebola, or influenza for another example-- its just that the sick-and-stick viruses are 'better' at their job of infecting all of us. The less pathogenic, the better. We are all infected with herpes (chicken pox, mono, HSV-1 or 2), FOREVER. ERVs are in every damn person...

The death penalty can be contextualized as the state or society killing in self defense. Morally I have no problem with that, though I am against capital punishment only because the justice system(at least in my country)is so seriously flawed that I wouldn't trust it to accurately determine guilt. ...

I'm going with the Shuffle Demons... "If I can't have cheese on bread.. I'd rather be dead, I'd rather be dead..." I'm not familiar with that band, but they remind me a bit of Morphine. And I agree about cheese on bread. My eating preferences remain true to haplogroup. They were big in the Toronto ...

They are trying to project their brand of thinking into a group of people who can't even agree whether bread is bad or good, for crying out loud. :snooty: What are your opinions of bread, citizen? Be VERY, VERY careful how you answer! I'm going with the Shuffle Demons... "If I can't have cheese on ...

Yesterday, 33% of referrals to the Pit came from freethoughtblogs.com. Woo hoo! Last week, 19%. Maybe the pit should buy ads on FTB? Hey, Ed! How much advertising does $0.18 buy me?

Great idea, and didn't Ed once say that he doesn't like it when his bloggers criticize the adverts? How much do you think their silence would cost?

OK... now that I've de lurked I have some catching up to do... To our fine host... is your sister in law providing her legal services for free? Should we pass thelat around for that?

Btw, that whole blog post was like the 2nd non-tf00t FTB post I ever read, and it so smock full of crazy that it needs a trigger warning for anyone suffering from nut allergy. It's also to only thing I've ever read by Taslima, so when posters here were talking about Taslima not being as crazy as th...

This just came in as a video response to mine. Sermon On The Mounted X0EJLEnnfto Now that's a disturbing video. Peezee speaking with the nasal voice of Twatson. Ugh! I'm not sure, but I think the concept was that it was RW talking but using PZ as her ventriloquist's dummy. That's why it keeps cutti...

Why's she doing this? She could be truly naive, or truly stupid. She could be doing it out of self-interest, whether she's narcisisstically seeking attention or greedily seeking income (blog hits, or as someone somewhere suggested, maybe thinking about trying for a book deal). Or she could be tryin...

I hadn't heard of Block Saturday (as opposed to Follow Friday) for twitter, but I guess it is a thing in the FTB universe. Found out about it tonight because one person listed here was blocked on twitter and FB by a prominent "skeptic" (Un-named, so I only think I know who it is) https://twitter.co...

Renee's Operation Smile drive has received $1855 in donations so far. :clap: I put in one operation's worth, but it won't count to the on line stats that Renee gets because I sent it to the "operation smile canada" site. Just as good at doing the operations I think since they're the same organisati...

In one of Ashley's initial articles on it (her blog just before joining fftb), she admitted (in the comments I think) that well you see, she hadn't actually mentioned the SEXUAL part of what the guy was doing, and that he was just taken away for being a bit too drunk or in the wrong room or somethi...

If someone has access to liquid nitrogen, a peach, and a hammer (or a big screwdriver, but Rystefyn has to do it in that case) I have a great idea for a Slymepit logo. Well, I would if I bought a peach when I do the grocery trip tomorrow... I'm guessing "freeze" and "peach" will figure in the logo?

Re: men and makeup. The discussion reminded me of a stand up routine by Gavin Crawford from before his "This hour has 22 minutes" stint, and I found it on youtube, but the video quality is quite bad. I think you can still get the idea.

Shoes, eh? Anybody ever see Greta and Isis at the same time? Anybody even know what Isis looks like?

Unlikely. Can you point to anything you've done to demonstrate that the human race wouldn't be better off without you? Wow, with that logic, everyone should be killed off before they go off to college. Anything I've done? lol. What much can I do besides the small things? Canned food drives, the usu...

Unsubstianted claims. Nothing more. I condensed my argument. Which of my 3 points is wrong and why? Point 1: Chosen speed (v) is entirely the individuals responsibility, nobody elses. Nobody als has control over the car's speed, the driver does. Point 2: Accidents involve typically kinetic energy E...

Oh god, are you serious? They seriously sit there in the thread moaning about "underprivilege" and "privilege" as if that means that they're wrong. How dare someone even consider that it's a split in half thing! THAT BOTH DRIVERS AND PEDESTRIANS ARE IRRESPONSIBLE ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT ON THE ROAD. ...

Finally... I went away for a week for Christmas, got back on the 27th. It's taken from then until now to catch up! And even then it only was possible by putting Steers and Euchiwood on my ignore list. Now that I'm caught up I'll take E off the list, but I think from the bits I've still seen of S, he...

I'll just leave this here: You werenâ€™t raped. Youâ€™re a whore. Join the club. http://judgybitch.com/2012/10/22/54/ Yeah, the top pic in that link is the basic idea of one of the strategies I heard of in my youth. It was practiced by guys going to the bar with the intent of getting laid. The stra...

I'll just throw this down: The guy who did the shooting was bright. He planned what he did. He was prepared with body armour. So do we really thing taking away his guns would have stopped him? We lost 168 in the Oklahoma City bombing because some less intelligent person figured out how to fill a tr...

Hey, I got married in a kilt! It's not like I have any closer affinity to anyone who would naturally wear a tux. I don't know how this is cultural appropriation in any way... appreciation maybe. It's not like I was earning money from it (quite the opposite actually). She really is a twit.

There's another thing we know about Friday's shooter that hasn't been discussed as far I know: he was an honor student. Maybe it's the education that makes people go berserk. Do we know the grades of all the shooting spree shooters?

Thanks! There's probably lots of sites that will teach you the basics, plus if you need supplies, there is a place I'm going to try getting supplies from next time I do one, and that's http://www.herrschners.com/default.aspx (US site) http://www.herrschners.ca/dept/crossstitch+and+needlework.aspx (...

Another couple of thoughts on PZ's video at the conference... 1. The one adjective that would best describe him in this performance is "creepy". Didn't that become reason for banning from conferences back when they were dissing monopod guy? 2. Fantasy time... I'm having an inordinately fun time imag...

Eazch province has province-specific regulations for the health care system, which include what is and is not covered und...

Did Hovind really say this sad event was caused because of a school without God? Gee, I thought he thought his god was everywhere! Yup, his god was up there looking down at this as it was going on.

Are there any lawyers at the Pit? I am curious about the legality of this program at "Hackbright Academy". http://techcrunch.com/2012/12/09/hackbright-academy/ For $7500, in the heart of San Francisco, for 10 weeks, this company will teach women, and women only, how to be "pro developers".

He says in the original video that you should not talk this way to your students. Admits its a bad idea. Why is that, if they are over 18? Huh? It's a bad idea because of power differential. Teacher:student. Age has nothing to do with it. Likely because at the university he hasn't got control of th...

Some time loooong ago on this thread, or maybe even at erv, I think it was James Onen that mentioned a study that concluded that women-only groups give status and support to those in the group that show victimhood and lack of agency. And the opposite for men-only groups that give status to lack of v...

I think PZ is once again showing that he's blind to "podium privilege". He showed it the first time when he didn't see the difference in power between RW on stage and Stef in the audience. This time in the video and responses to it he shows it again. The woman from the audience didn't know PZ would ...

I should retract my statement on TED and Anita Sarkeesian getting the opportunity to speak there. It turns out I jumped the gun. She didn't speak at TED, she spoke at TEDx, which is a subtle difference: the intelligent erudite speakers get to speak at TED, but almost anyone can speak at TEDx. http:...

Wow. :shock: You people are almost at 700 pages. I think y'all were on page 220-something last I saw. (School picked up...to the point where I spent every day of the last two weeks or so drawing. I chaffed a bit of skin off of the heel of my palm during a particularly long binge. Had enough time fo...
