So for every vehicle other than a sedan, it's too low to drive underneath and is essentially just an impassable roadblock...and one that might potentially run into YOU not knowing your vehicle is over clearance.

What could possibly go wrong with this idea? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JS3ULbv2B0Q I feel like it's not elevated enough. I would feel very uncomfortable driving underneath that thing because it's so low to the ground that there's very little light available, but it's not quite the same as goi...

There's no such thing as dudebro culture because only white males can be dudebros and white people have no culture.

None of which is the fault of Republicans who simply wanted another, better candidate, and who for their trouble were targeted by the Trump supporters almost more than Hillary herself.

The problem with the Trump video release is that it came a month too early. If this broke Nov 6 and not Oct 6, Trump's boat would be sunk. As is, a month from now it will only be a fading blip on the radar screen. There's the very real possibility that this is merely the opening salvo and further l...

I would say I just don't get these people but it seems like a lot of people are like this.

I doubt it is viral marketing. Hysteria like this really isn't uncommon. Why make a film of It anyway? The book is huge. If you must remake it do another TV series. The one about Kennedy was great.

I can't find the post it seems but thanks to whoever linked that League of Nerds podcast talking about white knight Myers idiotically leaping to his fair maiden's defense yet again.

Blogs are a different beast from forums, and my complaint is more people treating blogs AS forums.

Gotta love the virtue signalling going on there, they are so wrapped up in it that they have forgotten that it's a redhead that attended finishing school calling the shots. I guess it's predictable when the most zealous commenters become the star bloggers though eh PZ? I bet you wish Ophelia Benson...

It was pointed out on FA's earlier Carrier post that Myers has a habit of attacking his betters within the atheist community. When someone asked in what way a loser like Carrier could be counted among his betters, the obvious retort was that Carrier could at least write a book.

Genuinely surprised Hemant is dumb enough to endorse Carrier's book while he's under investigation.

We saw what happened to Elyse Mofo Anders when she got tangled up with SJWs (Skepchicks), and it would not surprise me if the toxic and bullying atmosphere at The Orbit/FTB had some negative effect on Niki.

In fine with "don't speak ill of the (recently) dead" as a social convention. It's not a hard and fast rule and you're free to use your personal judgment whether someone is sufficiently distasteful to warrant ignoring it.

I always hold out hope that at least some of the younger SJWs will someday grow out of it, or more likely that eventually sites like FTB and the Orbit will fade away and stop enabling their self destruction. It's a real tragedy that someone would go to their grave still enmeshed in such a miserable ...

I've never been too fond of the type of sci-fi depicting hostile aliens.

I put a copy of Boy's Club on my Amazon list to grab next paycheck because Matt Furie at least deserves to make a little money off this absurd bullshit.

The FA thread on Carrier seems to have rolled over and died. The FTB apologists up and disappeared fast once the great unwashed seemed unwilling to swallow their baloney.

Each time one of the two of them speak my preference tilts back in favor of the other one. I suppose it's just a race to the bottom til I eventually get fed up and do a write-in for Just Fucking End It All.

In short, Becky doesn't even take care of the cash cow she milks for a living. PETA would probably picket her apartment if they ever saw how it's being treated.

I like the fact that he's asking for a trial by jury. I would LOVE to see him deposed, and in the witness box. I wanted Carrier to demand a trial by combat. He against PZ. By the way, this is the lawyer that Skepticon contacted to write a letter to Carrier's lawyer. I don't think that her fees are ...

I think the best case scenario is Carrier wins, but substantially less than he wants, and it all gets gobbled up in lawyer fees.

At the very least if he just wins the suit against the bearded taint, I'll be happy.

I do have to wonder: How red will Michael Shermer's face be if a tit like Carrier manages to take down Peez?

I don't necessarily want to cheer for Carrier, but I think I would love it if FTB was taken down by one of its own.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that nobody's signing up for PZ's class who is aware of his online reputation, so any negative feedback he receives isn't going to be from people who came in with preconceived notions, as anyone who did know about him wouldn't be dumb enough to sign up for the clas...

There's definitely a distinction between people on "our side" who think of social justice as a good thing, but SJWs as being piss-poor representatives in that struggle, and people who think of "social justice" as itself a nonsense ideological term.
