Only a matter of time till the first deen to be shot on campus for refusing to ban sombreros or a black student is shot for looking a bit rapey.

and the solution to THAT will be compulsory gun training.

Out of my neighbours I am trying to think of one who I would trust with a gun. Give me a few minutes.....

We can't discuss it because that would be like murder or some shit but yeah make sure it makes the nationals papers.

Like pretend to shoot up a Star Trek convention. Just keep screaming "KHAN!!!!!" as you shoot over everyone's head and then end it in a pile of tribbles.

Make sure you leave a note written in Klingon.

I am just spitballing here.

It would be super not boring if you didn't do it. After that, I can only echo others sentiment and say that it's your decision. But really, if you do, I'll train to become a necromancer, dig you up, raise you from the dead just so I can punch you in the dick.

No shit John, if relative financial security and a roof over your head are the main issues, you know we can help. Not out of charity or pity, but because we're your friends.

This.

So many other things to try.

Like move to Miami and do a lot of party drugs and become super gay!

You do know that if he ended up doing that shit, every one at the pit would be in deep trouble for you just suggesting it? They already cavity-search kids who make clocks that look like bombs, as well as their family, their friends and their dogs.

It's humor. It's how I did with this.

That and ferret buying.

This. Miami or some other destination.

com and Phil, that's great. Makes me smile and quietly giggle at my monitor. :dance:

Marcus, well, you know, that is sort of the problem; the last 15 months have been rather an unscheduled holiday. Mind you, it's the thought that counts. :)

I think we're talking REAL holidays here, not staying inside with not much to do. If I could suggest another idea: start skydiving. It's cheap enough that I'm sure we could cover it, you'll get a kick out of it that might change your mind, and at least if you have a fatal accident, well, that's a win-win.

I think most people will see it as a joke. I mean do they even still have star trek cons?

How about skydiving in Miami in while on party drugs while have gay sex.

Keep the note written in Klingon just in case.

#8119

About 45 minutes left folks.

#8120

I probably should have breakfast then.

#8121

Will John be on to berate?

#8122

All set. I'll try to stay as long as I can. I didn't get to have that nap after all.

What are the chances of you dropping everything instead of killing yourself and flying to some weird foreign country and just get fucked up and reconsider your life generally.

I understand from friends who've made similar plans in their late middle age that this helps.

Isn't that my plan? I mean Miami is a strange place.

Tens minutes.

You could drive to the South Americas I think. Depending on which side of America is there's a shitload of Pacific islands ranging in shittiness from super great to super shitty.

If we could convince Dawkins to stay off twitter - do you think they would do the same for Ophelia?

Girls as far as I know like to pretend to be adults more than boys do (who as far as I can tell from mine, like to pretend to be robots). If there were some here and my kids wanted to do it I'd probably bring them to one.

I thought about your 1st. response and considered you might be seeing something like that. Thanks for the confirmation.

That was another cool hangout. Like being in a pub, really. Except, in the pub, my jokes don't fall flat.

Thanks again to everyone.

A really interesting article. Thank you, Skep!

I find this paragraph especially interesting:

Moral outrage is a part of human nature. But it’s worth keeping in mind that the punishment that it triggers is sometimes best explained not as a fair and proportionate reaction, but as a result of a system that has evolved to boost our individual reputations — without much care for what it means for others.

Very interesting. I haven't time to read the study but the article says:-

in a paper published Thursday in the journal Nature, we present evidence that the roots of this outrage are, in part, self-serving.

Only in part eh? The roots is it?

Sometimes it is best to skip the articles and go straight to the study, something which i haven't had time to do yet.

Something struck me though. I have a vague recollection into studies of groups of chimps and collage students (which amounts to much the same thing) into trust and cheating... how many liberties you can take, and how many times you can cry wolf. Obviously there is only so long that SJWs can cry 'racist', 'misogyny' and 'oppression' before it loses its power, and society completely loses it's trust of them. But I wonder if these constant moral outrages on social media will eventually deaden the overall effect? When you think of the many cases of passers by NOT stopping to help; can experience teach a whole society to ignore the instincts evolution has given us?

I know my immediate reaction to most moral outrages is to roll my eyes... but then again I am still not completely sure who Kim kardashian is either. I might not be normal.
