Periodic Table of Swearing

It's a greenish blue in the darker sense, just as turquoise would be greenish blue in a lighter sense.

Different exact mixes of green and blue get called other names too. There's aquamarine, cyan, and probably more.

Now, who here knows what puce, taupe or chartreuse colours look like?

Only the chicks.

TPA and Jack, they're total nutcases. Apparently even other buddhists think of them as a crazy cult. Tina Turner was, or still is, a member. I knew of 4 women just from my circle of friends who got caught up in that.

sorry, I'm a man. My eyes don't recognise teal, only green and blue.

Is "teal" a USAnian word? I'd only ever come across teal as one of the original 16 "web colours". Never worked out what use it was. (Oh apparently it's mostly an interior decorating/fashion word. I'm obviously not gay enough.)

Only vaguely (apart from Chartreuse, being Booze, I know a little about), but what wonderful words taupe and puce are. Taupe coming from talpa (L. mole), a colour resembling moleskin, and puce meaning "a colour resembling that of a flea".

For my part, I'm in favor of a world without men or, for that matter, women. While I'm not a big fan of evolutionary psychology (you can see that from some of my other few posts here), I wouldn't contest the claim that evolution has built suboptimal beings of either sex who don't seem at all adequately equipped to deal with the challenges of the future.

PZ Myers has this to say about A+.

Imagine a great big party with a lot of diverse attitudes present, and you discover that a few of the invited attendees are also hooligans who wander about calling everyone “cunts” and slapping derrieres and telling women to stop being so sensitive, it was only a quick fondle. Also they smell bad. We’re the segment of the party that’s decided to go off to the library and enjoy some good conversation with the interesting people.

Steven Novella's head just exploded. A delicious false dichotomy. I love it.

Of course, atheist and skeptic conventions are nothing at all like PZ Liars just "imagined".

Oh, and notice the reference to people who smell? Is that a snarky reference to Franc? They really hate people who don't conform to their very high standards of hygeine. If you are manual worker or labourer (A+ members don't need to worry in this respect), DO NOT sit on a bus anywhere near PZ or Ophelia Benson.

[CommanderTuvok]

They say they want to move to the library. Thing is, you have to be quiet in libraries, so Queen Bee would have to keep her large trap shut. Very difficult, if not impossible.

Who better to bring this to our attention than cunt! :lol:

But, holy mackerel, where to start? Aside from this depiction being straw man of wicker man proportions ("slapping derrieres"—really?), I love this reference to "hooligans". It makes me think of the soviet Komsomol whose mission is to root out khuliganov and other degenerates (not that I haven't thought of this comparison before).

Lots of people smell.

People who exercise/play sports.

People who drink/smoke.

Some people think black/Asian/Indian people smell, so what Myers said could be interpreted at racist.

I have a very sensitive nose (the Chinese post docs call me 'dog nose'), so I *hate* virtually all perfumes/cologne/scented antiperspirant, on anyone (the strong ones can give me a migraine).

I have never been at an atheist conference where anyone smelled, good or bad. Theyre just people.

Again, this fake A+ crew apparently has a crippling inability to interact normally with normal people.

Also, on what planet does that crew act like people who hang out at libraries? Non-intellectual, if not pseudo-intellectual twats, the lot of them.

Well, I wouldn't go that far. There's no reason ending the human species completely as long as it serves as a bridge to a higher level of civilization.

The attainment of immortality would presumably come along with the ability to maintain health indefinitely. As far as finding things painfully boring, I could easily find things to fill all that time with. In any case, there are already (imperfect) drugs that stimulate interest in the surrounding environment, which are a stepping stone to better things. Ex: L-DOPA. There's no reason that immortality would necessarily mean decrepitude and ennui.

As promised...

Last night I was invited to be a guest on the A-News podcast to discuss Atheism Plus. Joining me -- also voicing criticism of A+ -- were Lee Moore, Brian Allen, and Reap Paden.

I'm a marmite virgin

Its really hard to find around these parts, so I actually have my own recipe you can make at home!

Being old white and garbage, I've discovered that most of my peers are profoundly leery about all forms of miso
( even more so than they are of the vile nam pla and allied trades FFS! What is in these peoples' heads?)

Which means you can leave it festering away in the fridge and rest easy in the knowledge that nobody else is going to touch it, as Asians of any stripe are awfully thin on the ground round here. Mind you, it is quite pricey.
I scrape it onto the old roundy rice cakes, and either give it a quick blast under the grill, or in the oven on a baking sheet. Or even wave a pipestranglers' gas torch at them if we're stuck out somewhere :)
The yeast-based stuff, Vegemite, Marmite, I can't abide. And I always distrusted Goldsmith Snr.

Really interesting “logic” there, not least for apparently transforming “a few of the invited attendees” into a virtual majority apart from that, apparently small, “segment” who wishes only to “go off to the library”.

Although I really do wonder how prevalent that “slapping derrieres” and “a quick fondle” really is. While it – and related behaviour patterns – certainly seems more common than it should be – as described quite accurately and credibly by Naomi at Venture Philosophy – and, one might argue, that some it qualifies as an assault of one sort or another, somewhere in a spectrum that might include “pocket-gate”, one can’t help but get the impression that some of the women at least are “protesting too much” – so to speak. Really would help if someone did a study to define how common it is. However, in any case, Justicar has a recent video on the topic related to the recent discussion with PZ and some of the other “usual suspects” ....

I've been following the A+ descent into crazytown for a few days now, but I registered just to reply to this.

They actually have an "Educational Forum" sub-forum with the tagline "Where introductory questions will receive civil responses."

The introduction post states: "This is to avoid the problem of what's known as "JAQing off" - or "Just Asking Questions." Often trolls will try to derail conversations by repeating basic questions that have been addressed numerous times previously. This results in many veterans losing patience and attacking the person. However, this sometimes results in attacks on people who are sincerely asking questions and may become potential allies. "

How vitriolic does the echo chamber need to be when its leaders note that things are starting to get out of hand?

[Za-zen]

A+theism.... It is had said many times before, you just can't parody these fuckwits, the reality is always more absurd.

Lets expand on Myers analogy, this party is the atheist party, and fine myers and his morons go off to the library for their circle jerk because they don't appreciate socialising with the unclean, but can they stay in the fucking library? No. The bastards start whining to the host about all the horrible people who are at the party wanting them kicked out, in order to make it a nicer party, start threatening the host that they'll ruin the party if their demands for a nicer party aren't met, they start demanding the other attendees keep the noise down, they are all in fancy dress, and think everyone else should be in fancy dress. They are told the fancy dress party is in the house down the road, and really if they don't like the party they should fuck off to it, but they insist all partys should be fancy dress.

The pyt has been Sounding the alarm bell about this clique for a long time, what do people think the whole harassment policies at conventions were about?! Harassment?! Catch a fucking grip.
A+ and its agenda has been around for a long time, they just fucking announced themselves recently.
