A fictitious conversation somewhere the Middle East as imagined by Richard Dawkins (Disclaimer: Should not be read as making any kind of statement about real Muslim women):

Woman 1: “Oh boy, this Burqa business is killing me”

Woman 2: “I know, it must be at least 140 degrees in here. Oh well, at least it hides the acid burns”

Woman 1: “Yeah, I heard about that. What happened?”

Woman 2: “Oh, just the usual stuff. I was caught reading a school book, so these men threw some battery acid in my face”

Woman 1: “Sorry to hear that”

Woman 2: “Well, what can you do. So when is your stoning?”

Woman 1: “Next Friday. My lawyer thinks I might get off the hook if I marry my rapist, but I hear he just got arrested for defending me”

Woman 2: “*Sigh* Life really gets you down sometimes doesn’t it?”

Woman 1: “It does”

Woman 2: “Hey! I know what could solve our problems! If sleazy white guys in the West got to have all the fun they wanted at the expense of white women, and the women just had to put up with it or face nonstop abuse, our situation would greatly improve!”

Woman 1: “Yes! that would be quite helpful!”

For this, I'd cast Graham Chapman as Woman 1 and Terry Jones as Woman 2.

I have no interest in debating you on the matter, because all you ever come out with is a load of diversionary, useless guff. Life, Steersman, is simply too short to spare time to deal with you. Suffice it to say, I'm going to do no other than declare that your all-muslims-are-menaces stance* is precisely as categorical an assertion as Tuvok's SJWs-abuse-animals, and that if you find that unwarranted...well, tough titty, ya droid.

*Yes, I know you offer a get-out clause by way of your piss on the koran test, but it is so utterly imbecilic that it's simply not worth entertaining as a serious position.

Well, I'd have to look at her predatory behavior and have to hear Reginald's side to it, plus the stories of the other victims she has intimidated into silence. She has a history of using her privilege and prestige to bully people, then using it to her advantage.
She seemed to want to bully Reg into sex, still I don't have any solid evidence of Becky rape.

Kirbmarc wrote: <snip>
I've always thought that Dawkins "Dear Muslima" was the perfect rebuttal to Watson&co, who reacted in a childish way to what was an excellent point which demolished their special victimhood narrative. If you're interested in women's rights you should be concerned with legally and socially approved discrimination, not with the behavior of a few rude people on the Internet. ....

I'm glad to see that someone else agrees with me.

Back in February, I made a comment on Dawkins's site (under my 'nym Hermann Steinpilz) that offended Ophelia Benson so much that she devoted a whole post to it. Outraged, she cited this part of my comment:

The SJWs keep bringing up Richard’s “Dear Muslima” comment, and keep deliberately misinterpreting it. Because that’s what they do. They lie, and lie, and lie some more. I’m thinking of folk like Adam Lee, who claimed in a piece in The Guardian that Richard was essentially arguing that women in Muslim theocracies have it much worse than women in the West, and that therefore the latter should remain silent about “sexual harassment and physical intimidation”.

I can imagine how infuriating such dishonesty must be to Richard. He should (and probably does) realize that SJWs are much like fundie believers. They are equally dogmatic; they are opposed to free speech (who needs free speech, when your side has all the correct answers?); and they routinely lie for The Cause. They are totally dishonest. It is no use trying to reason with the likes of Adam Lee, PZ Myers or Ophelia Benson.

Ms Benson responded:

Ok how am I misinterpreting it? What is its meaning that I am so dishonestly construing? What exactly is it that I’m lying and lying and lying some more about? How else can that comment be read?

How else? Does she really think that asking someone politely for a coffee is either sexual harassment or physical intimidation? Is she really ignorant of the context in which Dawkins made his acerbic but entirely justified comment?

All he did was mocking the disproportionate attention that was being paid to the 'ordeal' of Rebecca Watson, which she had largely brought upon herself by throwing around accusations of misogyny, for example against female students who were obviously not misogynists. ....

Blast from the past - I too weighed in on Dawkins' site (here):

Kind of sad in a way to see this type of thing – splitting of hairs over interpretations of words and implications – roiling the otherwise placid (?) waters of the “atheist-skeptic-feminist-humanist” (ASFH) community. And maybe NECSS is to be commended, also, for broaching the issue of having pointed and focused discussions about the proximate causes for such. ....

However, apart from the apparently rather questionable categorical assertion that all SJWs "lie, and lie, and lie some more" - which seems little different from CommanderTuvok's similarly categorical accusation of pedophilia against all SJWs, I think your assertion is a highly questionable inference as to the motivations of all, every last one of those, SJWs. Consider the definition for lie:

to speak falsely or utter untruth knowingly, as with intent to deceive

You know for a fact, and have the evidence for the accusation, that every last one of those SJWs are "uttering an untruth knowingly, as with intent to deceive"? If so then I expect James Randi has your million waiting for you.

As I expect you remember, Michael Nugent was quite adamant that people commenting on his blog shouldn't be using that word without justification. While I think Benson in that "Impatient" post of hers is a little clueless and not very forthcoming about how she actually interprets Dawkins' Muslima post - apart from getting her knickers in a twist over the "angry rudeness of [what she sees as a] hostile, contemptuous thing" - I see nothing that justifies your accusation that she in particular, of that vast conspiracy of the nefarious SJW tribe, is "uttering an untruth unknowingly with intent to deceive".

Seems to me that it doesn't help in the slightest to be throwing around baseless and unevidenced accusations, particularly categorical ones - with the possible exception of Muslims. But it also seems that we might be wise to remember that "honest men and women may disagree" without that disagreement being taken as prima facie evidence of lying. Spinning dancers and all that.

The term "SJW" is a dehumanising generalisation and a pejorative to boot.

Oh the shattered humanity.

But given the refusal of the SJL to individually indentify with this hateful term, the observation that "all SJWs are pig fuckers" must be a victimless crime.

Is he saying that he's using a server as a personal computer? Because that's a fairly common server configuration. As a personal computer, it'd be stupid.

You don't 64 gigs of RAM because while 64-bit OS can read 128 GB, only in very specialized workstation applications will you ever need more than 8-to-16GB and that's usually high-end, complex modeling. Office software typically needs just 1 GB. Games do fine with 8GB and rarely need more.

A 12-core Xeon processor is a waste. They are exact opposite for gaming and normal needs. Xeon server chips/mobos have a huge L3 cache, slower speeds, but can deal with huge amounts of data. You don't, as a single user, use that kind of data through-put. For individual use, you need a faster processor with a smaller L3 cache. Plus, your software is highly unlikely to take advantage of what the Xeon does best.

RAID 1? That's just for redundancy. It's not a back-up. It doesn't make through-put faster, but slower. But data redundancy on a server is what you want incase you need to hot-swap a failed drive. You still make back-ups. But you don't lose an entire day or two worth of productivity because the server is down.

Honestly, it really does sound like some idiot saw an expensive machine in an on-line advertisement and is cribbing for show.

We have a fine mesh basket made out of stainless steel. It has the advantage of being washable. Also, it lets the oils in the coffee beans through, while paper filters mostly don't. Makes for better coffee I think. Others might disagree since I drink what is known as 'lifer juice' in the military.

Those things always seem to either clog on me or slow to a crawl. When I want coffee I want it RIGHT NOW, not in twenty minutes.
