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

Okay, so which Pitters here want Miri dead, or have included her on their rape lists? Or is Miri simply being disingenuous when she lumps the Pitters in with such people? And hereâ€™s another similar thing you should probably stop doing. When Iâ€™ve written something great and you like it, and rath...

and so... why has there never been a modern movie version of Wonder Woman? I think it is because, no matter how you develop her character, the SJWs will attack it. There is no good way to make a modern version of the Wonder Woman character that will not piss off the girlz and their fee fees. We wil...

Ah, a new narrative begins to form: GTA now lets you rape and murder prostitutes.

I always prefer games with customizable characters.

Over on Pharygula, we learn that GTA is putting strippers in danger : Yeah, itâ€™s common knowledge if you fondle a stripper during a lapdance, sheâ€™ll go home with you.

Just saw PZs last sentence, and I do believe you can use that exact same sentence about Evolutionary Psychology, the Men's Rights movement, or just about any other group or concept has PZ has labeled Verbotten. Will he realize?

You could also read my take on post-modernism. Equating critical thinking (which is what post-modernism is) with the caricature-worthy po-mo stereotype is a lot like equating science with scientism.
