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

The funny thing is we get to see Chewbacca pulling off some crazy flying stunts in the movie. Sure, he's not Force sensitive, hasn't been inside that ship for decades, mostly just co-piloted or did repair work while Han drove the thing when he did have it, and is pushing 60, but it's not like fantas...

For Rey's abilities to not be nonsensical Rey's feats involve flying a ship with Jedi reflexes when she's about twice the age Anakin Skywalker was doing the same thing and the same age as Luke who casually bragged about how the torpedo shot other trained Rebel pilots said was nearly impossible was ...

TFA was the first Star Wars film in a decade. Of course it's going to outperform TLJ. Star Wars hype peaked already.

I was willing to overlook Rey's Mary Sue-ness in TFA because I was confident that we'd later discover her parentage gave her super powerful inate force abilities (my personal theory was that she was a Kenobi). So now I just have to concede that she is indeed a Mary Sue, and Last Jedi commits the ca...

He is very clear about specifying that the issue is their hypocrisy in blaming harassment of others on him while taking no responsibility for the harassment he gets. Again, this is a guy who has in the past said wouldn't it be funny if someone if someone went to PAX to troll a guy he didn't like. S...

If you're just wanting me to say "harassment campaigns are wrong" then fine, I just said that. Doesn't mean I feel compelled to ride to the defense of every person who gets targeted for harassment, especially morons like Jeremy or Anita Sarkeesian who go baiting for it. Yes, in principle, people goi...

/tg/ had a thread up where people were discussing Jeremy's case. Here's some people who are sympathetic to his content and still think the guy's a moron: https://i.imgur.com/3XeOBTY.png The whole lawsuit thing is hilarious.

One of the first videos that came out when Jeremy's story broke was just someone posting clips of his own videos and pics from his Twitter feeds. He's a moron who thinks it's funny to say things like "wouldn't it be funny if someone went to PAX just to troll this person I dislike?" Then when called ...

It doesn't matter if he's everything that you say he is. The point is that there is a genuine harassment campaign targeting him which was instigated by a lying grifter. Are you suggesting that SJW hate mobs are only a problem if they smear the wrong people? I've got no compunctions about "victim bl...

The takeovers are still going on in other niches. The Magic community is having it's own little Gate with Jeremy of Unsleeved Media being the villain du jour. As a brief synopsis, Jeremy is a bit of a self-admitted arsehole with an MTG youtube channel. He made some comments months ago about a cospl...

2014-2015 Sarkeesian and Quinn were making appearances before the U.N., getting interviewed by Colbert, and being handed awards left and right. I haven't heard anything from Sarkeesian since then (her wikipedia shows nothing past those dates), and Quinn only because I go looking. Quinn never had a ...

I feel compelled to do one spoiler for the new Star Wars movie, because I think it perfectly encapsulates what's wrong with the new movies and with millennials in general. Everyone who's seen The Empire Strikes Back knows Luke's big test is the moment in the cave wherein he fights Darth Vader who i...

Facciani has a follow-up post responding to Jerry Coyne's article.

And no, I'm not intending to demean any Pitizens for wanting to talk about Peezie or Becky's latest public embarrassments, because that's pretty much what I come here for, but I'd hope nobody else would think to use the "what about the starving kids in Africa?" excuse in light of that.

For the record this was the part that set me off: 50,000 people die of drug overdose.... 40,000 die from car wrecks... both numbers that are increasing (in the US) but - eliminate a bunch of regulations which a bunch of media companies love and the world is ending. :doh: You're gonna sit here on a f...

Well you apparently don't care about the topic at all except to the extent that you can see it's making some SJWs mad, ergo it's gotta be a barrel of yuks. You're a slightly more coherent Davedodo and that is the full extent of your thought process. "Do it make people I don't like mad? Mus' be gud. ...

I'll answer your retarded question when you tell me when exactly you stopped beating your wife.

There was no Net Neutrality a few short years ago... Kind of hilarious how people who openly dislike Obama are also willing to claim or imply his administration inventing Net Neutrality wholesale.

Their response to being told they've hit a new low is "hold my beer and hand me a shovel."

SJW atheists are working hard to ensure they end up with no friends. Regardless of how they try to virtue signal the fight against "Islamophobia" at the end of the day they offend the Islamists by existing so they'll always be at the bottom rungs of SJWism. They dutifully carry water for conservativ...

I didn't think the flags were intended to be taken seriously considering, you know, Kekistan.

I think the problem with this generation is they aren't growing up. They aren't settling down and marrying and having kids, and if they are they're doing it out of wedlock and they divorce like motherfuckers and there are all these stunted people - I mean, look at the skepchicks and friends.

Back when the unemployment was 10% in the US, I was all for some sort of CCC work program for those who could not find work.

Also, regarding the reluctant Trump voters and the idea of picking the wild card over the certainty of the status quo candidate, it's also worth mentioning that even in the bad outcomes (which appears to be what we ended up with) there's at least still the hope that things will get so bad that nobod...

A different view of millennials and their communism than the standard spoiled brat one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8je64jy5Nds He's completely right.

Identity politics pushes men and women to be adversarial when it's always been in the interests of the species for men and women to cooperate.

That said one can only imagine the future chaos when sufficiently advanced technology makes it possible to procreate without a partner.

Jerry's got a post up about Zinnia and The Orbit if anyone wants to fill him in on that cesspool.

Did Rebecca pipe up when YouTube messed around with content creators? Did she fuck. Becky's presence on YT is fucking nothing.

Patreon has made changes to fees and processing charges that are disproportionately onerous to small-amount donors. Some of them are deciding it's not worth continuing.

Jerry puts up another determinism post and this passage has me scratching my head: He also agrees that accepting determinism has enormous ramifications for the legal system and penal system, mandating that criminals should (and one day will) be judged like broken cars: things to be fixed and taken o...

Jerry's got a poll up on whether people think Franken should resign. Just under 50% say No, about 40% say Yes.

Dems picking their 2020 nominee is gonna be a spectacular shitshow if the moral panic hasn't burnt itself out by then. The attack ad playbook writes itself.

And none of this "you gotta respect the office of the President" shit ever pops up except when there's one in office who is both unpopular and a Republican. Then we the plebs must be reminded to not say bad things to hurt his feefees too much because he, just being the President is a big deal, even ...

Because defying and beating the the leaders of the two major politcal partys in the US is a cake walk and becoming President is so commonplace that 44 other guys have done it in the last 200 years or so...Nope nothing impressive there... Let's not forget this was not Trump's first Presidential bid....

But in current year he has also managed to become the US president without being black or a woman, which most people would consider something of an achievement all things considered. There's being anti-SJW and then there's being so hyperbolic you're flabbergasted that white men can still get jobs c...

If I'm being charitable to Trump, he might be having trouble getting "the best people" because they keep turning down the offer.

People with the kind of money that would invest in Trump's ventures got rich because they are smart, they certainly understand how investments work. They will know Trump's track record and they will know the risks. If they don't, then a fool and their money are soon parted. So they're smart unless ...

I don't know if it's art but mamy of us here probably had a Mandelbrot poster in the late Eighties. Pretty abstract.

There's a balance to be struck between popular opinion and refined taste. Intellectual elites can come up with very sophisticated reasons to sing the praises of crap, which the common person might see through, but at the same time what's popular is only rarely what's best. I like Paul Graham's essay...

It never ceases to amaze me how plastic surgeons can take a person who's been, for example, mauled in a bear attack, someone who essentially has no face to speak of, and construct a pretty good one from scratch. Then they take a normal human face and make it grotesque. I wonder if some country might...

I can't help but be reminded of the people who point out more people die in swimming pools than terror attacks, and yet people are more scared of the latter. I detest comparisons between accidents and deliberate acts. I just reached for a comparison I knew people here would be familiar with. The re...

My point is that it's about perception. In a war of attrition you can plink away at the enemy forces at a steady rate and they'll mentally adapt to it. Demonstrate a single show of overwhelming force and there's a chance they'll cave to it even if it's less effective than all the attrition that came...

Then the other day I heard somebody say that conventional bombing of Japanese cities caused more damage and more casualties I can't help but be reminded of the people who point out more people die in swimming pools than terror attacks, and yet people are more scared of the latter.

Just saw the trailer for Infinity War. It looks good but did they change the model for Thanos? He looks like purple Joss Whedon.

Somehow I doubt the Dawkins audience is brimming with swingers. The polyamorists are a small group with an outsized influenced thanks to cronyism.

It would appear that atheists are more susceptible to pseudo-science than theists. I don't think that's a justifiable statement at all. And if it's just the sex/gender question you're using to determine this, well hey, I thought the silent majority of atheists were supposed to be shitlords like us,...

Some of the shit Hemant's hordelings say makes no fucking sense. "For all you dicks out there, feel sad, want to die? OK, take your life and we will all feel sad and miss you.

"This is a terrible story of an awful person who apparently had a lot of people fooled."

As you say, Brive, the lack of self-awareness would be stunning if we weren't used to it by now.

Watching a clash between some SJWs and alt-righties today and the clumsiness of the latter made me momentarily sympathetic to the former. I think my major gripe with both is the large proportion of people who want to be culture warriors to the exclusion of all else. Winning hearts and minds is near ...
