Anyway point taken - least said soonest mended - say no more and no spoilers.
The caveman thing is my stock response to anything that was perfectly normal two years ago.

My record splurge is all 64 episodes of Breaking Bad in two weeks.

This is where we are now. Evergreen is under mob rule by baseball bat-wielding, dyed-haired, gender studies majors who get triggered by Limp Bizkit. And the villains, according to this mob, are white liberal college professors and a teenager with chalk.

Chu tried to stay cool with a none of my business, but don't expect me to treat you better than your boyfriend tweet, but of course, that couldn't be his final word. He eventually followed it with one of his screeching tweet dumps, most of it about the perfidy of white women. Which you'd expect, since the only woman to ever see him naked was a white woman, and he drove her away. Poor Arthur.

Elsewhere, it looks like Jen McCreight found a job in Hawaii.

This is where we are now: the BBC reviving beauty pageants. Because transwomen.
I watched one of those recently. Funniest thing was the complaints from contestants that the winner was just a gay boy in a dress. Flouncing and screaming ensued. The winner was later stripped of the crown because not consistently living as a woman.

But don't you see? Her brilliant "fuck you" was to spread social justice. So original and innovative and from a 12 year old. And, totally not in anyway, the same fucking story we've all seen for the last 6, 7, 20, 30 years.

Now women everywhere have stuck a blow against online trolls because there exist articles about Women science people (of color), and authors of both books and comics.

It "might make them more likely to depict him as white". No evidence, but fine, whatever, I know you're not a Nobel candidate.

"(for some reason)". WTF? You cunt, how dare you make an unsubstantiated guess at motive, and then sort of insinuate that this guess is the reality of their position, and that said position has no evidential basis? There are and, more importantly, were people other than whites in the US. Just a ridiculous twisting of imagined intentions.

I honestly think you're taking this article way too seriously. It's fluff, it's making fun of the Mormons (who are, admittedly, pretty ridiculous, what with the Jebus coming to 'Murica and all that) and while the race angle is stupid it's not saying anything too terrible. Yes, Jebus was a Middle Eastern, so probably didn't look pasty white, but he's portrayed as white by whites, black by blacks, even as Chinese by the few Chinese Christians. Do people likely want their god or son of a god to look like them? Yup, probably yes.Yes. Is it OK to make fun of them for worshiping a middle eastern guy and presenting him as pasty white/black/chinese? I think so.

Are there many other important issues that atheist/skeptic groups should be talking about? Yes, of course, this is largely a non-issue, good for a laugh, nothing more.

In recent years, I've attended two weddings of young, charismatic christians. Jesus as an active, third member of the marriage is a big deal, not mention creepy, and I saw with both those couples how it laid an onerous burden on their relationship. (One couple is now separated in large part due to it.) THAT should be the point, if any, about those wedding photos.

But the bigger issue is, this constant smug superiority vamping by primarily young atheist activists does not win friends or influence people. It makes all atheists look like arrogant assholes.

Maybe. But if we want to talk about SJWs eating each other, Myers himself is the first on the menu. He has so many SocJus red flags attached to his name (rape jokes, the false accusation story, all the squid porn stuff, etc.) that they could bury him if they wanted to. And he's a white cis het male, so he has no special protection. He's trying way too hard to fit in, and he's tolerated because he offers a platform to the nuttiest in the Horde (Caine has a FTB blog. Caine! :lol: ). The moment he pisses off the wrong person he's toast.

Bomb hearts!! Peez, you are such a card :clap:

Murder almost didn't make the list. With homicide divisions littered all over the country, it's pretty clear we're over-provisioned for murder. Time to cut back.

Rape doesn't even show up. While death may happen during rape, you can be sure it doesn't happen because of it. Rape is just one more stupid thing we get excited about. Give it up.

And the shocker. The most pressing justice issue of the age isn't on the list: Killed For Being a Tranny. Hard to believe, but it doesn't happen often enought to rate. Brianna Wu is the most irritating person alive and s/he's... well, alive. So, relax. And shut up.
Matt Liebman actually is making a decent point here, although he definitely could've gone about it better. I'm speaking mainly from a US perspective, so bear that in mind, but the amount of fear-mongering and over-focus on terrorism as a threat is disproportional to the actual size of the problem. That's not to say it isn't a problem or that no one should care about it, of course, I'm just saying it often gets way over-hyped. A better comparison would be to people murdered by terrorists versus people killed in "regular" murders. The latter vastly outweighs the former, especially here in the US where we have something like 15k+ murders per year.

As for rape not causing death: yeah, I suppose that is why he didn't make the point in the best way he could have. The point is not that a measure of how big an issue something is is how many deaths it causes. The point (or at least, how I would make it) is that the proportion of people who are/were victims of terrorist attacks is vastly smaller than things like non-terrorist murder, and yes, rape too. Similarly, US media has been obsessed with "mass shootings", while caring much less about individual shootings, even though they kill way more people (as a result, gun debates would always seem to focus on mass shootings alone, strangely). Again, to clarify, I don't mean things that don't happen very often should be ignored, just that they should be kept in perspective when it comes to things like using them to push policies, using them to fear-monger, obsessive focus, and so on. But efforts should still be made to combat and prevent terrorism.

As for people being killed for being transgendered, I have seen some fear mongering over this too. People will list a bunch of murdered trans people without giving the context of the overall murder rate. And then they'll fallaciously assume that because they were trans and they were murdered, they must have been murdered for being trans, even when no evidence supports that in a lot of the murders they'll present as examples.

Risk management? Oklahoma City bombing + Twin towers more expensive response wise than mass shootings (which are rolled into yearly budgets).

I'll agree terrorism threat is hyped but the pro terror lobby gets more press than the NRA.

Comparing terrorism with health conditions is regarded. Even if you cure heart disease and cancer you are still going to die of something. The human body isn't built to last and we are pretty much reaching the maximum age limit now. In any case, the healthcare has a higher budget than any other state activity.

The comparison with traffic accidents is equally retarded. Is there another activity so micro-managed? In the UK we have regulations about who can drive, minimum age limits, what health conditions they may have, mandatory eye tests, drug and alcohol restrictions, bans on smoking if children are on board, bans on the use of mobile phones, mandatory wearing of seat belts, child seats, childproof locks, yearly MOTs, restrictions on emissions, a shit load of regulations around the manufacturing of cars, speed limits, parking regulations, mandatory insurance, CCTV on motorways, legions of police devoted specifically to traffic duties, traffic wardens, branches of the civil service administrating everything, public transport and bike lanes as an alternative, etc.

So when someone says we shouldn't pay so attention to terrorism because cars kill more people we should remind them that everything possible is done to prevent traffic deaths short of banning cars outright.

That chart rates war almost as low as terrorism - yet for years those same people have been protesting about nukes. So what is it? Is nuclear war unimportant because it hasn't happened yet? If we are only looking at the USA how many people have died of climate change?

Your individual chances of being killed by terrorists is minute, just as your chance of winning the lottery is minute. But someone is going to die just like someone is going to get rich. Downplaying terrorism because it's almost certainly going to be someone else - or someone else's kids - isn't brave, it's selfish.

The latter vastly outweighs the former, especially here in the US where we have something like 15k+ murders per year.
I can't remember which wag it was who put it this way, but the counter-argument to this whole line of thought is: "Sure, more people are killed by malfunctioning toasters every year than are killed by terrorists, but there's no organization running around trying to mis-wire toasters."

A terrorist threat, regardless of numbers, is a qualitatively different kind of thing from accidents and acts of God, but it's also qualitatively different even from things like murder (there is no unified organization with political aims that's behind all the murders that are happening).

Again, because we're talking about a group of people with aims and objectives who are trying to achieve those aims and objectives by means of terrorism, a) it's actually more amenable to solution than a diffuse threat like murder, it's a relatively informationally/causally less complex thing that government can actually "do something" about, and b) if it's unchecked, it's going to escalate, till eventually the numbers do really start to matter, and c) it's an avoidable problem, particularly in the case of Islamic terrorism coming from foreigners, because there's no reason for those people to be in the country in the first place, it's just an extra problem that nobody needs.

There's also the not inconsiderable moral/emotional argument: it's an insult to a free people and their political constitution, their way of life, etc.

I have a Firefox addon called "disconnect", which stops tracking stuff loading. It is supposed to make browsing quicker (meh, not noticeably) and more secure, by stopping filthy little weasels nibbling at your bandwidth and info.

I just glanced at the tracker, and got a shock. I was on Meyers's blog, and the number of things blocked just kept on rising. Here are some figures (I was logged on to the Pit, in case that makes a difference):

viewtopic.php?f=31&t=513&start=17220:

It's not scientific, and I would love to hear from anyone who knows more about how accurate this is, and what it truly means.

But I still feel justified in saying that FfTB is a cesspit, a website which is provably more evil than the Daily Mail and ridden with code which reaches in and grabs a piece of your soul with every visit.

My [vanity] response on WEIT's thread Jeff Tayler on the Manchester bombing where the theme of the day is 'not all Muslims' so fuck off:

When only 5 out of a hundred people get sick from drinking the water in a community, it is a problem, not just for the 5 out of a hundred people who get sick from the water. The community has a problem. People are getting sick from drinking the water. You figure out what is wrong with the water and you correct it. It is the communities problem. Saying ‘it’s only a problem for the members of the community who get sick from drinking the water.” is no response, it is an evasion of reality.

And people will continue to get sick from drinking the water.
Should have added, 'And until everyone in the community gets together to solve the bad water situation, your community needs to be quarantined.'

Interesting fact, a few chickens where I live got some kind of disease a few years ago. Over 100,000 chickens were destroyed.

Why blame kill the 100,000 chickens for the negligence of a few chickens?

In other news (get ready to scroll),

Ma Telus T1200h is no longer playing nice with my laptop (but only when running Linnux).

So being in luser mode these days (since I retired), rather than spend any time investigating I now use the Apple Airport extreme (set up in bridge mode) as an AP, or the repeater when I am downstairs ( WRT54GS with DD-WRT firware).

Personally I suspect the fault is with the Telus WAP (actually it is probably the current kernel ... but I am not going to commit heresy so Telus takes the blame).

Anyway,

Like I implied earlier, these days I just want it to work. I no longer get a hard on when there is an issue to resolve. Instead I blame the usual suspect, absolve the clearly guilty, implement a workaround and carry on.

I am behaving like PeeZuss Christ?

BTW ...

If you are ever tempted to get an old Apple Airport Extreme (like the notorious A1143) do not. I was very lucky with mine and it worked without any problems for nearly 10 years till it suddenly died .

But you will probably not be so lucky.

It is known.

I get the feeling that 'hedge trimming' is an euphemism for something.

But for my own sanity, I'm not going to check

Your individual chances of being killed by terrorists is minute, just as your chance of winning the lottery is minute. But someone is going to die just like someone is going to get rich. Downplaying terrorism because it's almost certainly going to be someone else - or someone else's kids - isn't brave, it's selfish.
Yes. Downplaying terrorism seems to have become a tribal marker. There is no reason leftists can't talk about terrorism honestly, but here we are. Both the European and American left have ceded the field.
Which is frustrating because the right wing has it's own terrorism blind spots, and no self correcting mechanism. Except failure of course.
