We keep seeing shit pop up about Groethe and Shermer, welch has done a good job showing why Sam Harris is being stupid about the profiling thing, and Dawkins' various "mild pedophilia" and "honey" gaffes are kinda starting to pile up, to the point where it almost seems like he's going senile or some shit.
I'm too old for idolizing people so I wouldn't really care if Dawkins and Harris were asshats in their private life. Not that I think they are. I'd stop reading their books when they'd start to write shitty ones.

For Shermer I really care even less. But it makes a difference to me if he's someone who leans towards stupid behaviour when he's drunk or if he rapes unconscious women.

All this doesn't change the pure despicability of what goes on in the SJW crowd. Pamela Gay is not where she is today because a drunk Shermer did something stupid to her in 2008. She's there because of her SJW friends. She incorporated enough BS from her skepchick friends that she would think it was brave and awesome to trash her employer on a public podium. A year later it's Poppy and company who publicize the 2008 case and again put her in a position she obviously cannot handle. And while she has another breakdown, this time in public, it's the FTB vultures who try to make money out of her misery. All the while congratulating themselves what fine human beings they are. These are not friends, they are abusers. And hopefully at some point Gay will notice that.

Are they saying "female bodied people" because they think some people will be offended if it said "women"?
But don't post-op male to female transexuals consider themselves to be female bodied people?

It's almost like Judiths idea from 'The Life of Brian'
Here! I-- I've got an idea. Suppose you agree that he can't actually have babies, not having a womb, which is nobody's fault, not even the Romans', but that he can have the right to have babies.
...Except in the case of Secular Women they think that post-op male to female transexuals should have the right to have an abortion.

Yes. And what's more, they still fail. I'm sure trans women who've had genital surgery consider themselves "female bodied", as do women with Complete Androgen Insensitivity. Also, they don't take into account that even if a woman has a uterus and ovaries and all that, she may not be capable of reproduction. She may be congenitally infertile, or infertile due to some other medical condition, or post-menopausal. Then there are the trans men who might still be capable of pregnancy but have already started transitioning by having top surgery and presenting as male and who no longer consider themselves "female bodied". They're erasing all those persons' existences, which is very, very bad social justice practice. They ought to have said "those human individuals possessing a full and functional complement of female reproductive organs, whatever their current gender identification may or may not be". Or just, you know, fucking "women" and let the context speak for itself.

I wouldn't put too much stock in the fact that he's holding a doll/teddy in the first picture and a bottle in the second - we don't see his other hand in either picture so he may have simply switched the bottle to his other hand in the meantime.
Some time has passed but I don't think we can say whether it's a few seconds or a much longer interval.
BTW, where did you find these pictures? I did a little bit of searching but couldn't come up with much.
It's not difficult.
Just google something to do with the event and look at the images (for example "dragoncon pimps party 2008") and then if you see a picture relating to the event (there are lots of parties at dragoncon, so lots of unrelated pictures) go to the page it is hosted on - particularly if it is part of a flickr album.

The pic of Shermer, Gay, Grothe and Sean McCabe comes from a flickr album of Tim Farley.
Some of the others come from the flickr page or some skepchick who doesn't seem to be involved with them any more.

He almost certainly wasn't a pitter since pitters are immediately placed at level 2 of the blockbot.
@Lazy_Savant was, at least before he made that Silenc of the Lambs joke, followed by aratina cage on twitter.
I think he has only now been added to the blockbot - level 2.

Caine has always been a hard core pain. But since getting her badge she has developed a certain sense of ownership together with a policing, "prefect" tone.

The post that got me banned had (as well as a link to the silo article) a comment suggesting Caine get a new hobby. She had been complaining how tedious riding herd on the thred was re Shermer legals and the official FtB POV. If she could have issued lunch time detentions she would have.

Sadly Caine, despite your claims there is nothing inherently racist about 'chief.'
n.
1. One who is highest in rank or authority; a leader.

2.a. A chief petty officer.
b. Nautical The chief engineer of a ship.

3. Slang A boss.
4. Heraldry The upper section of a shield.
5. The most important or valuable part.


adj.
1. Highest in rank, authority, or office.

2. Most important or influential. See Usage Note at absolute.
adv.
When I think it 'Chief' I don't' think of Indians. I think of ships and Chief Petty Officers. I think of police and the Chief of Police. I think of KP duty and being "Chief Bottle Washer" (as well as Latrine Queen). In your case Caine, I think of "Chief Asshole," as in leading, primary and/or biggest.

None of which has anything to do with any Indian blood you may have.

Also, why you have no de jure authority, as head pitchfork wielder in what passes for mob-pile-on-justice, you have de facto authority which you wield on a daily basis. And you're quite well aware of that. Even as you pretend you're just a helpless victim.

But obsessively trawling twitter to dredge up fat jokes about yourself doesn't quite carry the victim cred that can be generated by a single death threat, which is why they are playing up that rather tenuous angle of the tweet.

Analyzing mere pictures of a party that none of us has attended is not really very reliable, however, now that I take a closer look at the two pictures above, Shermer's body language fits the kind of guy who pushes too hard in flirting and hitting on women.

The first picture: He has his arm wrapped around her but we don't see her other hand and it seems it's dangling by her side, sandwiched between her and him. If true, it means she was not interested in "hugging him" (which would have been an implicit nod from her to escalate the level of intimacy). Also, there's a gap between Shermer and DJ and the picture doesn't look like a group photo.

The second picture: Shermer is now grabbing her very firmly and there is no way for her to get away unless she uses some level of physical force. Again, that's very consistent with a guy who hits heavily on women and who uses some level of "force" (typical examples are guys who don't let their target get away without some level of force; they hold her hand, or hold her in a tight embrace in dancing, etc.). And in this picture there is no group. There is "cover". If you look at this picture you see a couple and another guy who awkwardly stands away.

The combination of these two pictures is damning for Shermer. It shows that he had his arm wrapped around her for some time, at least long enough for two pictures in two different configurations to be taken. This in turn means that the wrapped arm was not done in a moment of "excitement" or "happiness" or any other reading that doesn't have sexual undertones. In other words, you can't say "Maybe he was happy to see her so he hugged her" or "they were just taking pictures and he was being friendly". On the other hand, I don't see any evidence that she reciprocated any of this.

So basically, I'm not rejecting any other reading of these pictures but I'm saying that the reading that is most consistent (at least in my opinion) is the one in which Shermer was heavily hitting on her against her obvious disinterest, and most likely with some level of force.
Ah, ha ha ha ha ha ha... That's your projection as you use rumor and innuendo to prove the supposed fact.

Here's the photos she posts of facebook: https://www.facebook.com/starstryder?sk=photos According to your analysis Neil DeGrasse Tyson is like that. Phil Plait is like that. All kinds of men and women I don't know from Adam are like that.

Hmmm.... Maybe something else is going on. Like a party/social occassion with some people who are touchy-feely extroverts and don't have a problem with that kind of stuff. And certain other people are NOT. And the NOT group, as they tend to do, lack both the awareness and social skills to understand it or avoid it.

Besides, Shermer prefers rabbits anyway:

Which was the point you and I both made. Had she gone to Disney World, I'd have said the same thing. Games/gaming had nothing to do with it. Being utterly lazy and flaunting it while other people support you after your 'poor me, pity-pot' begging fest is the issue.

In my book she's nothing more a low-talent, self-entitled Princess that doesn't even the grace to be circumspect regards the fact that she would rather beg for money than do anything 'beneath her station' like a dirty job. And I don't care if I 'offend her' by pointing this out, no matter who tries to concern troll me over an 'argument' I didn't make.

I won't be able to add a comment on your channel , like I often do, as Goggle+ is needed now and that's not for me. :(

So be rewarded by my praise here. Eagerly awaiting the next instalment of the Historical Peezus saga, that was your best video so far.

So...

Making a distasteful Silence of the Lambs's reference = bad, awful, death threat.

Making a distasteful Cards Against Humanity reference = good fun.

Roger that. So I'll do a CAH reference in regards to Svan, right now! The rules:

1) I'll use the cards from the actual game (from http://www.cardsagainsthumanity.com/pdf ... inGame.pdf)
2) I'll chose a black card with a feminine reference on it, and change it "Stephania Svan". The remainder text will not be modified.
3) I'll then choose 10 (ten) white cards with the answers and you guys choose the best one. Again, no changing on the text from the actual game cards.

Black card:
"Maybe she Stephany Svan's born with it. Maybe it's _______________"

White card 1:
"Child abuse."

White card 2:
"Penis envy."

White card 3:
"Smegma."

White card 4:
"The placenta."

White card 5:
"Obesity."

White card 6:
"Leprosy."

White card 7:
"Menstrual rage."

White card 8:
"A brain tumor."

White card 9:
"Man meat."

White card 10:
"Being fat and stupid."

I hope she doesn't mind, because, according to BRAYTON (2013):
It's OK. It's a quote from Cards Against Humanity. The whole point is to be horrible.
Have a nice day, Stephie.

At least that's what it claims to be. It's so bad, however, that a more likely explanation is that it's been made by students from another university to take the piss out of Loughborough.

Look at the comments. Only 27 of them and one of them is from Adam Buxton (I checked the account and it's actually him!!!! *SQUEE!*).

Orwellia has a post up about the Columbine High School killers.
The article I’m reading in Slate is from 2004, and it’s about what the FBI ended up concluding about why Dylan Klebold and Eric Harris shot up Columbine High School. It wasn’t because they were bullied; they weren’t. Klebold was depressed and suicidal, and Harris was a psychopath.
Says she is interested in psychopathy.

You can leave it to her commentariat to read between the lines and to connect the dots.

Yes, DIAF Wowbagger is that hypocritical.

In addition, since when is a random Twitter user who doesn't even post on the 'Pit "one of the leaders of that group"? The 'Pit doesn't have and doesn't need leaders.

This is why I find concern trolling in the movement (especially the Pit) to be so pointless when it comes to dealing with Skepchick/FTB criticisms made by us or others. The only appropriate course of actoin for us is to 'shut up' and/or 'go die in a fire' depending on the asshole-level of the FTB/Skepchick poster.

A guy makes a fat joke and the 'ever searching for drama' FTB crowd turns it into a death threat and the 'Pit is linked. Despite the fact that the 'Pit had nothing to do with it and it's a FAT JOKE.

Great footage, the plane basically disintegrated on impact. I think I watched this on Nova on PBS years ago and the test was done in the 70's.
I seriously doubt that.

First off, I like to joke that if terrorists crash a plane into a nuclear power plant they would surely go for the cooling tower. a) it's the biggest target, b) many people seem to confuse the cooling tower with the power plant, c) the effect of doing that is basically zilch or nada. Sure, the plant would auto-shutdown and cooling would be somewhat compromised, but that's basically it as long as everybody at the site knows their shit.

I'm not aware of any experiment with F4s on real cooling towers. There were tests with ramming them into massive concrete walls and observing the damage/calculating the impact force. Here's an example:

[youtube]xM8E-CogkYE[/youtube]

The parts that produce the apparent 'pulverization' effect is mainly the fuselage. The main impact on the other hand is shelled out by the engine. At airplane speed that's a dense block of heavy metal that can go thru a lot of stuff including concrete walls. It would almost for sure go through the walls of a cooling tower because they aren't that thick as they don't have to be.

The main thing is if the reactor building would withstand an impact. If not, you'd have a release of some radioactivity really fast and, depending on the amount and type of secondary damages, maybe a catastrophic release of fission materials.

Now, the reactor buildings do have thick concrete walls but if they can withstand the damage done by a plane crash is really in doubt. Most commercial reactors today would probably withstand an F4 but not necessarily an A380. American authorities tend to be optimistic what their reactors can withstand, German authorities seem to be more pessimistic.

As for the 1970s and 9/11 style attacks, German reactors were tested then if the could withstand kamikaze like attacks from F4, but no one seems to have thought about captured commercial planes.
Ya, that was the footage. I just thought it was pretty neat to see a plane go splat, not that "the terrorists" are going to do this. The conversation jogged my memory about the footage. I'll be more clear in the future.

Right. Let me highlight a certain qualifier in the rhetorical phrase since you're too busy trolling instead of thinking.

That whole word 'MAYBE' is a big fucking clue. While YOU were clearly advocating a definite mode of behavior, I was highlighting one of many prosaic, common possibilities. All without pretending I, through my fucking Ninja Photo Analysis Skill, actually knew what was going on.

Your analysis, stupid and shallow as it was, was predicated on the accepted truth of Michael Shermer, Potential Date Rapist allegations about his conduct. I'm merely pointing ONE of MANY possible generic human interaction interpretations that don't rely on Michael Shermer being a Potential Date Rapist.

I also showed that this very same behavior was commonly engaged in by other members of the community as shown in her Facebook albums. Yet you gave us the in-depth (idiotic) analysis of Michael Shermer, Potential DAte Rapist interpretation. All you left out was refilling wine glasses.

Your analysis was childish and idiotic. And I'm done talking about it since you're clearly going to run down the rabbit hole. (That's a fucking metaphor.)
