An aside: I find it impossible to comment here. By the time I am done reading all the antics of the Idiot Buffoons Collective, the next drunken adventure of the Saint of Elevators and Booze, laughing at the Brajate Foshog (or whatever he is called) paraodies, there are another 5 pages of posts to read! Keeping up with The Pit is a full time job.

Imagine trying to finish a fucking video.

Okay, okay, assuming someone remembers I used to do that, I'm trying to remember where the fuck I was ...

Your Clownfall videos were epic.

Is this about Lsuoma saying he would revoke SD's image posting privileges?
If so I'm amazed that anyone thought his throwaway comment was anything other than a bit of banter.

So...basically, Debbie Sterling is saying girls need toys that will encourage them to become engineers like her, even though she apparently is more interested in business than engineering? And can someone explain what prevents girls from playing with tinker toys, erector sets, Legos, etc?

Also, she didnt design the machine. Men did (I just learned this). The guy who did the OK Go movie did most of it, apparently. Inventing is too hard for lady brains :(

And white men at that!
I want a toy for Black/Hispanic genderfluid bipolar kids. Their (Zer? Xir? Hem?) toy section is empty!

Maybe it's just me, but Marcotte always came across to me as some kind of radfem version of Dr. Laura_Schlessinger.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laura_Schlessinger

They have a lot in common. Both are sanctimonious ideologues, intolerant of any disagreement or differing perspectives, condescending, self-righteous, arrogant, judgemental, and quick to impugn people with nefarious motives or ill character. If it weren't for their conflicting ideologies, they probably would get along quite well.

Looking at that picture and reading that post I was moved to look up the following facts:

Laura Schlessinger was born in 1947.
http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9 ... oZuUo9GLFT
Bruce Campbell was born in 1958.
http://t0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9 ... nOjb9S8-yQ
Amanda Marcotte was born in 1977.
http://t3.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9 ... zbJJrSmZYQ

Is it, just possible that Bruce got apocalyptically beckied one Los Angeles night in the latter half of the seventies and...

I can honestly say that I hope Marcotte and Schlessinger have one big difference. Dr. Laura--paragon of righteousness--posed for a series of nude photos with the married man she was banging. Those pictures, obviously, are available online.

James: really, what would be the point of such a conference?

What, really, is the point of any of these "conferences"?

Even serious scientific conferences are starting to become less necessary - it's now easy to find out about others work and query them about it without schlepping your arse across the planet to do so. But they were always viewed as one of the (few) perks of academic life, so there was that.

But the gab fests that pass for information exchange at the skeptic/atheist end of the spectrum (even those not run by the usual suspects) - let's not pretent they are anything other than networking schmoozing starfucking social events. Hence BeKKI! (makes noise like large startled chicken).

I go to one, or at most two physics conferences a year. They can be very enriching, specially for younger scientists as they get face-time with others, get an opportunity to present their work and cook up new collaborations. Perhaps physicists are boring, but there is very little booze-filled partying. Some of the older Russian physicists drink heavily, and there are occasional scientific "fights", even as dramatic as someone punching someone else, or some yelling at poster sessions, but there is very little drunken debauchery.

Somehow, atheists/skeptic conferences are just huge booze-fests, with some inane gabbing used as hang-over cures. I am not even sure what one can learn from professional idiots like Watson, Meyers (PBUH), Benson et. al. And these are some of the "best minds" in the conference-circuits. I cringe and almost get PTSD just imagining what twits (or twats?) like Hensley talk about. Even a Dawkins talk is bound to be predictable, specially if you have read his books.

One way science conferences keep it fresh is changing the speaker lineup every year. American Physical Society allows only one invited talk every three years, and there is a rigorous selection procedure, and even graduate students can get invited slots. Of course, as conferences almost keep our beloved Atheist Idiots alive and inebriated, it is too much too expect that they will be interested in any type of intellectual rigor, or change.

Sometimes, however, even a predictable talk can be enjoyable. I swear to God Almighty, Douglas Crockford gives the "Programming Style and Your Brain" talk more times than Becky wakes up shitfaced, but everytime he does the talk, he increments it with more tidbits and corner cases that make it interesting.

Of course, it all depends on how good the person giving the talk is. I suppose a guy like Dawkins or Hitchens can be interesting even if they were talking about the same subject that they talked last month. Rebecca Watson? Yeah, no.

He loves extremely niche porn. He dreams of his 18-21-year old students becoming mermaids, and then him doing things to them that he can't describe. He invites a female volunteer back to his hotel room during a talk.

He has been accused of rape.

And now PZ Meyers claims to have been involved in a shooting by a prostitute. He claims to have been a bystander, but given his record, if I were the Trophy Wife, I'd be asking some serious questions.

[Mykeru]

Seriously: Mykeru, get back on it soon please. And use your best, most menacing voice to frighten old cobwebs knickers.

It's mostly a time management problem. What with the logistics of commuting by bike, the gym and work. Not to mention my ambitious masturbation schedule. Something I'm sure Steersman can relate to.

Happily, something had to give and it did. The short version: At the small gym I use there's essential tension between the usual narcissists, the women who think it's their personal pilates room and guys like me who just want to lift and give each other shit.

Incidents:

A couple years back this guy I worked with who died a couple years ago and I were giving each other guy shit. A women complained we were being "hostile" becuase we would say things like "Yeah, that's good form. Imagine if you actually threw some real weight on there, cream-puff"

Then a woman who was a jogger who was subsequently hit by a car and killed (I have an alibi) was yacking away at someone and, without looking, turned and walked into me while I was holding a 40 lbs weight at my side. Of course, the way she told it to management, I "hit" her with the weight.

And it goes on and on so I long for the good old days of guys-only gyms.

Last week some woman who just dropped a spawn was getting on an elliptical machine while I was finishing up. She, of course, made a point to turn the fan on herself. Done with my machine I gave it a spritz from the cleaning spray bottle before wiping it down. Apparently the fan directed a wee bit of mist at her, and she bitched and moaned. I said "sorry, must have been the fan" and then, because I had just spent a half hour at 85% my max heart rate and she wouldn't shut up about it I simply said "look, I'm done spraying. Now I'm going to wipe he machine and go away". Of course, my lack of appropriate contrition lead her to go passive-aggressive and complain and because, and I quote "she's a nice lady who just had a baby" the dumb-shit 20-something manager gave me grief, I resigned my membership.

I'm going to get some speedweight dumbells and use the perfunctory gym in my apartment, so that should free up time.

Also, work. I've been busting my ass on the technical and logistical side to get video conferences between disparate locations like Geneva and Baghdad to happen and when you do that you end up on a schedule getting up at 2:00 am, on the bike at 3:00 and doing the conference at 5:00 am. Having totally buckled down on this kind of thing for months I got called into a meeting with the bosses' boss thinking it was on security issues at best, or me, at worst (asked the boss "Is it about my piss poor attitude?" "No" he said. "Wasn't for lack of trying" said I) and there was a special cameo appearance by some of the people I did conferences for to personally thank me in front of the boss, the bosses' boss and the IT elite. They even gave me a "dinner and a movie" gift card, envious applause and all. I also got a kick-ass performance review, probably getting some bonus money and so I am perfectly positioned to 1. Take less time the next round because the leg work is done 2. Take whatever horseshit the FTB/CFI SCK/Blockbot clowns want to dish out when I really get down to pissing them off.

Really, you have to get your ducks in a row if you really want to be an asshole and take care of number one so you have some resilience in the face of dirty tricks scumbags. I mean, when Laden complained about Abbie, it could have been different if she didn't have that one essential quality he could never understand: Competence.

And in some cases, the topics may not change, but the content does. You see that a lot in computer sessions. Deployment as a topic is a solved problem, but the specifics can change in some interesting ways. Or, you get a fluid audience who hasn't heard it all before. I figured no one was interested in my SNMP session, but then we asked our attendee reps about sessions on "the basics" and the reaction was quite enthusiastic. So you never know.

But it can't be LITERALLY the same fucking session, word for word every time.

What is this "ASTI photoshop" that Avi is getting in knots about?

http://storify.com/elevatorgate/convers ... ods-clowns

Avicenna says: "And she isn't a radical feminist. Seriously? The notion that she got PTSD from "twitter" is one promoted by Elevatorgate"

Is he/she/it/they/xir/xem/thare/e'rebodyindahousegettipsay really claiming that Elevatorgate made up Hensley's ludicrous "Twitter gave me PTSD" claims?

I don't ever know what Avicenna's on about. I doubt anyone really cares, he's not trying to commandeer skeptic organizations, not accusing anyone of rape, not doxxing anyone. He's just a guy with a blog who seems to have an aching need to get in on the drama, so he gets these mysterious "emails" telling him we've besmirched his character somehow and he goes loopy for a while. Pitters show up to argue and his persecution cred, the coin of the realm over there, gets boosted.

Oh dear Gawd, poor Tom. He's a knob, but does he deserve Marcotting?

I was recently included within the recipients of an email from some "markfelt2.0@hush.com" who is skeptical of the organization Atheists Giving Aid. Among these recipients are Amanda Brown (who is a leader within this organization), David Silverman, Greta Christina, Greg Laden, Teresa MacBain, Sean Faircloth, D.J. Grothe, and PZ Myers.

An initial e-mail is sent, Amanda Brown responds to allegations, and Greg Laden chimes in with a reply all...in two separate messages:

I'm not sure why you (Amadna, AGA, whatever) is responding at all. You should be spending your valuable time on doing the job of the organization, not responding to some crank. Clearly you have a lot of work ahead of you becoming an official organization. Work on that.

Who is that guy anyway?

By the way, "Mark Felt" was teh FBI agent who was known to Woodward and Bernstein as "Deep Throat" just in case that wasn't known. So MarkFelt2.0 is some guy with a complex of some sort. Probably a slymepitter, this is their style.

So, yah, anon e-mails skeptical of Atheists Giving Aid are the workings of a poster here in the world of Greg Laden.

Just a heads up for some possible upcoming drama and ridiculous allegations against this forum and its community....

Hey, isn't this the company Becky Whatnot promoted a few days ago?

Mmmm. Becky Booze promoting some non-functional, dangerous shit? If only she was a Chick Skeptic, then maybe she could ask the details of how that flimsy-looking shit is supposed to detect hundreds of genetic diseases before promoting it.

It's that easy to troll them into noticing and getting their pants in shit? Gefan, stop with all this "video" bullshit; fake emails is where the recgnition is!

(One day I'll find the time and energy to flood PZ with messages from "Harazuki, Lord of Tentacle Hentai Porn" just to piss him off. I'll also try to get his name on the first Google page when one searches for "hentai tentacle rape", just because.)

Funny, it seems to me to be just the sort of thing Laden would do as a false flag operation. Using nano-thermite.

You better watch out. Next PZ will make this allegation against you...like, if I recall correctly, he accused (or 'hinted' at accusing) Reap of scheduling him a test drive from a car dealership:

The chance to play with the natives at FtB is quite a rare treat. When in the mood, an open comments policy can be a big red button of joy.
