I don't see the point in playing by skeptic rules in a debate when it's clear one side has no interest in adhering to said rules.

If d4m10n desired to blog about it, or run around telling people that Mundane Matt was abused, I could see the need for more evidence. But if he is not going to take any action based on this information, proof becomes inconsequential.jet_lagg wrote:I don't see the point in playing by skeptic rules in a debate when it's clear one side has no interest in adhering to said rules.

Hi everyone ,
I am a little overwhelmed at being selected to blog here. Trying to get used to it -:
Let me introduce myself. I am from India. When not blogging or trying to propagate a rational world view in the Indian society both online and offline , I work as a doctor practicing medicine 8-10 hours a day , 6 days a week in a small town in the south of the country.
My posts here will be mostly about issues faced by freethinkers in India , about its religions, politics, threats to scientific temper and secularism , gender , caste etc. I may also write about world politics , science , clinical medicine , pseudo science and anything that I find interesting.
Opinions I express here are just drafts , which can be edited and altered if there are strong evidence to back such a change. So I welcome discussions in a civil manner so that all of us can reach a logical , rational , evidence based view points on most issues.
A word about blog title. Many would be wondering what is this Nastik in the title. Nastik means atheist in many of the Indian languages.
So bye for now and HAPPY READING !

Sorry to hear about the tough row you have to hoe - though I see you don't mope and wail about it as Ania seems prone to do. Reminds me of a woman I used to work with year's ago - the boss' daughter - who had pretty much the same set of conditions but, like you, she simply got on with her life the best she could; and did rather well with it as a matter of fact.HunnyBunny wrote:Ania has made an appearance here before - as a bit part in Caruthers fat-shaming obsession. Can't think why.Kirbmarc wrote:The Orbit has already gone full Atheism Plus forum. (archive link).
*snip dumb shit*Language shapes our perception and when we make disability an insult, when we make ability an insult, we are implying that there is something wrong with being that way. It adds to a system that treats people with disabilities as being less than human. In some cases people go so far as to imply that people with disabilities don’t have feelings or don’t feel pain. Moreover it creates a perceptions, a link between being disabled and being otherwise incompetent.
The following link is not safe for anyone with a delicate stomach: http://capitalnews.ca/world-stage/wp-co ... e-edit.jpg
She is a woman that got handed a shitty pair of diseases at aged 18, and has gone to make whinging about them her entire life's work. Yes, I know, walk a mile in a person's shoes before criticising. Even though Ania wouldn't walk a mile, much easier to beg on the internet for the Uber fare.
Fortunately I have walked in those shoes, and continue to, having also been handed the same auto-immune diseases plus another for good measure, Psoriasis + psoriatic arthritis + Crohns. And she can fuck off with her 'I'm disabled, donate to my patreon', I know many people with Crohns, who all somehow cope with their disease, have jobs, study, families. My arthritis is classed as severe because of the number of joints involved, yet I have never even thought about calling myself disabled. I still walk at least 3 km every day, it helps with the fatigue side of the diseases. I don't work, although not because of these diseases, but I do volunteer at a shelter for abused foreign domestic helpers here in HK. Ania goes to bed for days, and yells at doctors who won't give her the meds she wants when she wants them.
I read pages and pages of her blog once, in the hope of gaining some insight. The only insight I got was into the mind of a person completely self-centred and wrapped up in her own importance. In other words a millenial narcissist doing the only thing she is fit for, bitching on the internet. Because pointing out that using the word 'crazy' is ableist is so important to humanity. she's a perfect fit with The Orbit of course.
Here's a talk of her's about those nasty MRAs
[.youtube]icHiDn6ruJ4[/youtube]
Here's a recent article full of whine, with a lovely video: http://capitalnews.ca/world-stage/2015/ ... alizaiton/
As Kirbmarc, among others, has recently suggested, with such narrow-minded dogmatism, it's hard not conclude that the Orbit is going to come to the same fate as AtheismPlus. People who don't learn from history and all that.Steersman (as OaringAbout) wrote:OP:Which seems to be the crux of your argument, the other words you’ve listed merely being additional cases-in-point. However, while I sympathize with the “difficult” hand you’ve been dealt, I think that that statement, and related ones, comes across as being a rather imperious ipse dixit, a papal encyclical, a rather dogmatic insistence that your opinion – and that is all that it is – should hold sway over everyone else.Blind/Deaf/Lame/Autistic/Bi-Polar or any other impairment/condition as pejorative: I feel like this is should be self-explanatory, but when you use something like a condition that people actually experience as a pejorative you are making it clear that having that identity is negative. That there is something wrong with being blind, or being deaf, or lame, or autistic, or bi-polar, etc.
In addition, it kind of looks like a case of looking at the issue and situation from the wrong end of the telescope. For instance, while I’m not a big fan of gratuitous insults – people generally have earn them before I’ll let loose with one – I think you’re failing to differentiate between conditions and behaviours that are congenital, and those over which we might reasonably be expected to have some control. As you kind of suggested in the above, throwing stones at someone who is actually blind – or a cretin, or an idiot, or a crazy – looks petty at best, and very few if any of us are boorish enough to do so. But when the terms are clearly meant in a metaphorical sense? To suggest some pigheadedness, or some serious flaws in a person’s perspectives or rationalizing?
I think y’all are seriously barking up the wrong tree by insisting on a particular interpretation that holds very little if any water.

But by all means wait for your police report.
For me it is inconsequential, because if he was swatted or not has no bearing on my life and would not cause me to take any significant action beyond our having this discussion here.

Pro-Hotep: What is this Hotep Twitter that receives so much backlash from Black Lives Matter and feminism (bolding not carried through in quote below)One of the unexpected consequences of the Black Lives Matter movement is the rise of the Hotep brotha — you know the black power fist-pumping type pushing up on you under the guise of pushing forward the black agenda. These men claim to be woke and all about the black community, but once you peel back the layers you start to notice black power means black male power and his logic is riddled with misogyny, homophobia, and plenty of other beliefs that don’t suit black women.
The birth of Hotep Twitter can be credited to Feminism. I have no problem giving them that credit and in a way, I’m thankful. ...
<snip>
Now, how did we {get} to Hotep being a slanderous phrase? We can definitely credit this to Feminist & LGBT Twitter. Any person who disagrees with their groupthink will be deemed Hotep in a derogatory manner. ...
I didn't have any high hopes or any expectations much beyond "banned (with extreme prejudice!)". But I think it's important to show the flag, and I also think evidence of being banned and such will do more to discredit them than will silence - or trolling.

-Soylent f98TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW)-- Governor Sam Brownback has been asked to request the resignation of the leader of the Kansas Hispanic and Latino American Affairs Commission.
WIBW Radio reports the commission's director, Adrienne Foster, is being asked to resign because of comments she made to the Kansas City Star, apparently supporting Donald Trump’s candidacy for President.
Three Democrat lawmakers, Louis Ruiz of Kansas City, John Alcala of Topeka and Ponka-We Victors of Wichita, sent a letter to the Governor’s Office expressing displeasure over Foster’s support of Trump.
The letter states that Foster has diminished her position within the organization.
They also claimed that Trumps’ comments against Latin Americans are “inaccurate and highly inflammatory and discriminatory.”
It’s unclear if the governor will acknowledge the letter's request for Foster's resignation.

Brive- you're my fellow dudebro, let's not get too cynical here. :hand:
The 'attitude & coping' part does make a big difference I think. And it is where I see millenials failing, and in part where the whole social justice warrior / oppression culture comes from. Society appears to have raised a generation with massive amounts of self-esteem, that has transitioned into narcissism in many cases, but failed to produce any tangible benefits.Skep tickle wrote: As a general comment: besides the disease itself, other factors that play into the experience of any illness include (a) the person's condition otherwise (overall health & fitness, other conditions aka 'comorbidities', etc), (b) support & resources, and (c) attitude & coping. Some of that is outside the person's control, but some of it can be managed, at least at some times & to some degree. (And other times you can use a thesaurus to find synonyms for "some".)
The "attitude & coping" part seems to get less attention than the others, but it can make a big difference in living with a chronic illness - accepting the condition & the things you can't change about it, trying some changes to see what improvements might result (& seeing them as bonus, rather than taking them for granted), engaging (when you can) in activities that you find meaningful, staying active but pacing activity to avoid over-fatigue or marked pain flares, etc.

The thing I liked about Lady P. were the occasional slightly sexist jokes her expense. Such as when she packed "only a few things" for the weekend - and the last shot was of Parker surrounded by about a million bags accompanied by the "wah-wah-waaaaah!" music. Also she once had to walk through a swamp in stiletto heels and was a complete hazard driving the pink rolls Royce when Parker went on strike.
I agree with all of these points, with a caveat on #1 regarding the economic issues that also come with an influx of cheap labour.Following the organised and coordinated mass rapes of women by gangs of Muslim men in Cologne and several other European cities at New Year, much has been written and said about the dishonesty and cowardice surrounding much of the discussions. I will not go into that here. I just want to highlight three points about migrants that often get mangled in all this.
1. Migrants are a financial net gain to an economy, not a drain on it, as often assumed
2. Refugees are often determined, highly-resilient people
3. Migrants do not leave their norms and values behind when the flee to a new land
https://web.archive.org/web/20160317073 ... -migrants/I once had a job teaching English to asylum-seekers in the UK. They were from Cameroon, Congo, Somalia, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iraq, Iran and Turkey. One day one of my students (the only Iranian) suggested the following discussion topic: “What would you do if your child told you he or she was gay?” The class erupted in a near-riot. Every single one of my students had fled persecution and death in their own countries. Every single one of them, except the Iranian, complained that we did not persecute and kill gays in the UK. Once they’d calmed down and the discussion actually got underway, some said they’d have nothing to do with those children. Most said they’d kill them. One, the quietest, most petite woman in the class (hijab and all), said, “I’d take them on holiday to Africa and have them killed there.”
Oh, and great news folks, Tony has moved the hug box over to the orbit, so one less website to have to visit. http://the-orbit.net/progpub/2016/03/14/speakeasy-10/The refugee situation is tearing my heart out. Of course I now have many of those kids in my classes, a large number of the older boys being kids who came here alone. And now those bastards all across Europe are cutting them off. Let’s face it: they might play offended when Beatrix von Storch fantasises about shooting them, but they are obviously ok with them starving, drowning, freezing and dying of diseases. In 50 years they will look back at this time and wonder how that could happen the same way they’re now looking at the Holocaust.

I'd never really thought about the year of birth having anything to do with SJWs... but it is interesting to notice that almost every friend I've made outside of school (e.g. all the people from not "good" class backgrounds) have succumbed to this bullshittery.HunnyBunny wrote:The 'attitude & coping' part does make a big difference I think. And it is where I see millenials failing, and in part where the whole social justice warrior / oppression culture comes from. Society appears to have raised a generation with massive amounts of self-esteem, that has transitioned into narcissism in many cases, but failed to produce any tangible benefits.

This place is the best fit for me. But I’m already a big fan of The Orbit.
Indeed, you can't reject people because they're inept writers. That's not inclusive and non-intersectional of shoddy authors and will severely trigger them.Cnutella wrote:So the New Frontier blog on FTB is supposed to be a place where some of the candidates who didn't make the first round cut for new blogs can show off their mettle. As PZ said:
So far, New Frontier has only one post. I am wondering how many fee-fees were bruised by rejection?We are also bringing in a few of those inexperienced people at a time in a group blog (in case you were wondering what that “New Frontier” thing was about) to get experience, but we didn’t want to have a group blog of 10 people in which all the voices would get lost in the cacophony.
In the recent CGI reboot she wore red instead of pink because sexism. Fucking pain in the eyeballs when you saw her wearing red in her pink Rolls Royce.piginthecity wrote:The thing I liked about Lady P. were the occasional slightly sexist jokes her expense. Such as when she packed "only a few things" for the weekend - and the last shot was of Parker surrounded by about a million bags accompanied by the "wah-wah-waaaaah!" music. Also she once had to walk through a swamp in stiletto heels and was a complete hazard driving the pink rolls Royce when Parker went on strike.
It was almost as if us little boys were being instructed in how to laugh at women !!
Surely not !

Without that scaffold, I detect a certain boredom and lack of topics for the newbie writers. A lack of purpose and focus. I mean Caine has written about a bird, her lost meds, her car breaking down and how exciting this all is.
Yeah, she definitely dug up a few rat bones to curse that guy.
