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

Because if I want to find some "martial arts history buffs", a role playing game forum is the first place I'm going to look. Right after I find some large animal veterinarians and horse breeders on a brony site. Which totally is what I said. If you're looking for martial arts history buffs, the fir...

Who also happened to be martial arts history buffs, or did you miss that part? I guess in the end you have to go with whatever reading makes your narrative work. ;)

Fuck you all. Watch this one instead. [youtube]XLWzH_1eZsc[/youtube] I only got a few minutes into his video on dual wielding before becoming aggravated. I'm by no means a history buff when it comes to martial arts, but I was able to immediately name a number of exceptions when he said dual wieldin...

Other priorities in life have mostly kept me away from the pit of lates, but I've been lurking from time to time, yearning for Cunt's return. This is almost as good. Hell... this is better. :popcorn: As the resident unapologetic Richard Carrier fan I'll admit it's bullshit that he isn't chiming in o...

This is interesting. I finally understand why so many people here think you're an asshole. Probably not. Yes. Almost certainly so :) This really is interesting. Out of curiosity (completely unrelated to our conversation) where are you from? Where did I say that they didnâ€™t or shouldnâ€™t feel the...

Oh Fuck... please do not think that you can give parenting advice because you were a babysitter from time to time... okay?!?! Perhaps you have studied childhood development (like my wife) so you may have some qualifications. But you may want to turn up your humble meeter on the parenting advice mac...

Sort of like the SJL argument that one canâ€™t say anything about rape unless one has been raped? That one canâ€™t say anything about slavery unless oneâ€™s self or oneâ€™s ancestors were slaves? That one has to just "shut-up and and listen" when any of the transgender folk insist on taking over th...

And some people â€œfeelâ€ that theyâ€™re Jesus or Napolean but we donâ€™t normally do more than humour them â€“ at best. â€œFeelingsâ€ are generally of some value â€“ even sometimes an overriding one â€“ but when theyâ€™re rather obviously contradicted by the facts then I think weâ€™re at least e...

Children scare the fuck out of me, they're creepy little bastards. Like my own though. I've told my wife more than once that I have a zero tolerance policy for spooky shit. If I wake up and my son is standing over the bed with a knife in his hand? Pack your shit. It's off the orphanage with you. Ma...

So, taking my experiences with feminism, they have a point. Again, the majority of the world subscribes to an Abrahamic faith (a faith I find to be sexist, favoring men by a substantial margin) What it favours is laying the overwhelming majority of social responsibility at the hands of males to the...

I don't have any of my own, but I get along with kids. And they adore me -- when we had lots of young students, they'd show up at the barn and hopefully ask, 'are we riding with Matt today?', cuz I made it fun while still setting boundaries. I also treat them as reasoning equals. I scare babies & t...

I've got four nephews and a niece and when they were small I could just about put up with them for half an hour at a sitting. Anything over that and I would probably have strangled them. The only thing I can imagine more horrible than to be married and shackled to somebody seven days a week, fifty ...

As for trans people, while, as mentioned, I sympathize with the plight and circumstances of many, Iâ€™m not entirely sure that â€œweâ€ are doing them all much of a favour by apparently colluding with them in what is arguably somewhat of a serious delusion. I don't know what the delusion is. Second...

No, I mean it, I can't stand to have the little fuckers around me. It isn't a joke. Oh, I believe you. For much of my life, I despised children. I mean DESPISED. Then this little kid was born and I went through a really disconcerting hormonal shift. It was almost like puberty, where I feel my entir...

If your argument is that a very partial, incomplete (many parts of the world are not and have never been based in Abrahamic tradition) and selective form of "patriarchy" has existed between the ages of 0 BCE and 1960 BCE, we have room to talk about that. But christianity or abrahamic tradition was ...

This is why I try to fight against the Patriarchy by not forcing women to have children. (also I fucking loathe kids) Ha. That's the line I always used to escape the "do you want children?" conversation. Then my nephew was born, and all my paternal instincts kicked in. That little thing is so damne...

Patrilineal society is also not patriarchy. Most so-called patriarchal societies are proto-white-knight societies to me. The only cultures that could justifiably be called patriarchal are ones dominated by Abrahamic fundamentalism and similar myths, but even in those societies, it generally sucked ...

So, a couple of guys from Escapist Magazine ask, "Is Anita Sarkeesian Wrong?" They're careful to note that she doesn't deserve abuse and that the issues she raises are important. At the same time, they say that she cherry-picks to force conclusions, she's kind of a one-note wonder, the $160K she re...

Maybe the FTB morons know implicitly that Ogvorbis is a fantasist, which is why they are so untroubled by his claims.

The question is what is the appropriate response for someone making a silly 'anonymous' internet insult. A. Telling them to fuck off? B. Banning them from your site? C.

Yeah, but... Fucking Ewoks, man. It was the start of George doing what he loves to do: fucking up a perfectly good story with cartoon joke animals that aren't funny to anyone but him. The Jabba stuff is good, and so are the throne room scenes. Something I've always been annoyed at (I later heard th...

Palpatine and the throne room jedi morality play is about the only reason I watch Return of the Jedi. Palpatine is great because he loves being so goddamn evil all the time. If there were kittens in his throne room, he'd step on them just to hear the sound they make when they die. Then he'd smoke u...

He also name dropped Aristotle and Rousseau in an attempt to prove his intellectual superiority to well...everyone. He also kept trying to talk about 'Greek modalities' to further prove how great his intellectual truly is... Ugh... I've got a friend like this in meatspace. She's very impressed with...

Now Twitter is supposed to be (in the uK) a public service network, which must adhere to sensibilities and guard the public morality, whilst the government legislates for "proper communication".

Because you're now confusing subscription TV, wherein the current influx of cash from successful shows provides a solid basis for the next show, and a way to justify riskier idea, like GoT with Film distribution, which is an entirely different thing. There's a reason you get quality, albeit risky s...

You want it both ways. When it's convenient, financing movies is HIGHLY SPECULATIVE with NO GUARANTEES. Then when that's not convenient, all of a sudden it's not. You can't have both. Pick one, or maybe, just maybe, define what you mean by speculative. you may have noticed, or not, that "speculativ...

I would have streamed Arrested Development (all seasons) from Netflix, but here in my country the fuckers didn't put the show from streaming (I would have to get an account bound to my fake-American PSN account and pay it in dollars for the privilege, basically doubling my costs). I would love to s...

Oh for fuck's sake, SPOILERS? You know, if I wasn't a cheap bastard, I'd get cable just so I could post endings to shit. Jesus on a crutch, if spoilers actually ruin shit for you, I honestly pity you. You can keep your pity and maybe trade it in for some reading comprehension. I didn't say I care a...

Having a story spoiled for you is not the end of the world, but it's a bummer nonetheless. Just exactly what is pitiable about it? Or do you just like being a spoilsport? :naughty: Calling someone a hipster for mocking those who hate spoilers might be too harsh (then again, I live in NYC where "hip...

Agreed. But that just speaks to how fucked up the current model is, and how networks need to get with the times. Anecdotal evidence wise,I know dozens of people who would gladly pay on a episode-by-episode basis for shows that they don't currently watch at all if it meant being able to start from t...

Not even the moment it comes out. I just don't want to wait a year, which seems to be the standard now. Agreed.

That always weirded me out. Is it possible to be too drunk to fuck? In my experience, the answer is "no".

Look at the costs involved with Game of Thrones, per episode. now imagine paying for that for $4 an episode that say iTunes charges. Only you don't have that money until sometime after that episode is released, right? SO how do you finance it? Well, since you don't have cable subs handling the lion...

When Netflix pulled that stunt I simply dropped DVD delivery and stuck with streaming. My cost stayed the same. Didn't use the DVD service much anyway, so I didn't feel like I was losing anything. Never used piratebay myself. My internet provider doesn't have any tolerance for that stuff, and I don...

Some people aren't happy unless they know where their next aggravation/blog post is coming from. If I'm going to pay to see a movie in a theater, I almost always wait until it shows up at the local theater bistro. Otherwise I watch mainstream movies on UVerse ppv, or indie films for free with Amazo...

Don't forget to read Dawkin's The Selfish Gene , Pinker's How the Mind Works , or Dennet's Darwin's Dangerous Idea and Consciousness Explained (though the last is very dense for a lay-audience book). I agree with Mykeru. If the book was dense (and I found it to be, perhaps not dense, but heavier re...
