Next you'll be complaining that the articles in New Yorker are long-winded and pretentious.

IF I'm ever going to do this, getting a decent editor would be a priority. I'm not as terrible with spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation as I am here when I actually have time to review what I've written, but I'm still not a native speaker of English, so I imagine that there's a lot that desperately needs editing.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑ But Jesus Christ, Kirb -- get yourself an editor.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Lost in Space update. 2nd ep. in ... Mr Robinson is a former US marine tough guy but sensitive type and is somewhat dominated by his 'estranged' scientist wife who is .. of course, you've guessed it, a feminist, and a particularly annoying one at that. They have 3 kids, 2 teenage girls and an 11yo boy. The older girl is black from Mrs. Robinson's ex. Mr Smith is Mrs. Smith. and the robot is some kind of synthetic robocop alien thing.Ape+lust wrote: ↑I just looked at a preview. The tone seems serious.

► Show Spoiler
The original series quickly settled into being The Will and Dr Smith Comedy Hour after the first few episodes.
If the only continuity is the name, what's the point? Bring on the space hippies!
The acting could be better (esp. from Mrs Smith) the script is boring with way too many flash backs to before they left earth. The CGI scenery looks ok and they've obviously had a fair budget, unless things pick up in the next few episodes I'm sure sure I'll stay with it.

Anyone have the Reddit link handy?MarcusAu wrote: ↑Thu Apr 19, 2018 12:40 pmI guess this is adressed to me. Yes 'Au' is the chemical symbol for gold - but my 'nym comes from Marcus Aurelius (which will be news to no one).

If you or anyone else has a problem with him then you can still reach him on twitter - or not - take your choice.Barbie's Boyfriend wrote: ↑ Hey Mucus Gold ( bet you didn't think I knew what AU meant, huh ? You think Comstink knows? Prolly not, but he almost certainly knows that chemical abbreviation for Meth !!!), did you see the article posted here a couple of weeks back that mentioned the Pyt ?

COMSTINK LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
Yes, I saw it, but didn't mention it. So much for me always bringing up the past. But several other Pitters mentioned it. Now go back and find it, and bitch about all of those Pitters. Oh, wait...
Yeah - I recall that link to reddit - there were a couple of ex-pyters there mentioning that the didn't like Com and so don't post here anymore - Each to their own I suppose - sometimes I just can't work up the rightious indignation. And I doubt I'll be able to set everything right with the world. So no bitching required.
I don't think I've really said much to raise your ire - but if you think differently that's on you.
Also, the way I dealt with the Com troll was to put him on ignore and skip over any post that quoted him. Simple. Yes?

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
This Starfucks thing is why I am beginning to despise the liberal centre left. I reallly think it is their gateway thinking that leaves you exposed to really crazy bullshit.
Like cray-cray Muslims, it doesn’t take many to bring down the house of cards. And those more aligned to the centre are generally too apathetic or conflicted to stand for something. It’s not till you cross the right of centre that common-sense returns.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
I don't think that people should call themselves Left or Right without first going through the discomfort of education so that they can describe where Burke and Hare disagreed politically. Or even Paine.
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Left and right have obviously morphed from economic based ideo-labels to SJW aligned monikers.
The transition is:
crazy-dangerous>plain-dangerous>naive-pain>indifferent-enabler|Indifferent-unhappy>woke>angry-bigot>crazy-irrelevant

"Lubritch" (actually spelled Lubitz) had a long-time girlfriend he was planning to get married to. He was simply nuts, and his girlfriend has noticed that he was becoming crazi(er).Why he did it, no one knows yet, but it won't surprise me to learn that Lubritch was a deeply angry and embittered Omega male. There is a reason Omegas frighten women merely by existing; they are capable of terrible and merciless acts of self-destruction. You can see Lubritch is a small and prematurely balding young man, possibly somewhat overweight, his occupation indicates that he was more intelligent than the norm, and the uncertain smile he has on his face tends to indicate low socio-sexual rank.
Now, obviously no one else was responsible for Lubritch's actions if it indeed was Omega rage at work. He alone bears the blame. But it is somewhat haunting to think about how many lives might be saved each year if the sluts of the world were just a little less picky and a little more equitable in their distribution of blowjobs.
As a 28 year-old airline pilot, Lubritch would likely have been married in a more traditionally structured society. It's not impossible that the Germanwings deaths represent more of the indirect costs of feminism..

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
I think if you looked hard enough you would still find plenty of conservatives whose main point of difference with the left is economic rather than tribal.
Many of them would even invoke Milton Friedman or Adam Smith.
And on a side note - back in Smith's time - it was possible for Edinburgh medical students to cover part of their tuition by providing cadavers. So can infer where he stood on the economics of body-snatching.

Watched this yesterday. It's decent and interesting, but nothing new from Nawaz - although perhaps Rogan's crowd will be new to him.
I've read his book 'Radical' and found it pretty decent, certainly deals with how fundamentalist islamism develops in subsequent generations of immigrants where their parents don't have these tendencies.

I don't always agree with Nawaz and he and Tommy Robinson have a few 'honesty' issues with each other that he (Nawaz) refuses to get drawn into but he's absolutely on the money in what he was saying in the last few minutes about Al-Qaeda and them not going away. I fear many in the west, both politically and in the media are all too quick to just brush ISIS/Al-Qaeda under the carpet sing la la la and hope it all goes away.DrokkIt wrote: ↑ Watched this yesterday.

Assad most probably isn't a very nice chap but I would rather deal with him than what would come next if he was deposed. Western politicians never seem to learn from their mistakes when it comes to the arab/muslim world.

I also don't find myself in total alignment with Nawaz's views - for example he is on a hiding to nothing with the basic project of reforming religion. However I do think he is the kind of person "we" need to be included. None of us like it, but the reason (or one of the reasons) the west is weak to islam is down to general 'culture war' issues. In that regard part of the response to islam needs to be cultural, and ultimately a lot of that battle is fought on identity grounds. Thus having someone with a muslim identity is useful even if you think the definitive factor of said identity to be on shaky ground.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
I haven't been surprised by NPR shows tugging on heart-strings WRT poor migrants and the plight of everyday Syrians. But I have been surprised and annoyed by the number of my intelligent friends who have fallen for it. The one thing that we all (as in: this group of friends) agreed on during both Bush and Obama was that the rule of law was being systematically eroded. It doesn't matter how good are your reasons ... if it currently isn't legal, then you can't do it unless and until you get the law changed. But now many of them are making suggestions that are patently unlawful and, when I remind them of this (and our previous discussions), I'm told that I'm a racist Trump supporter (when I say something about migrants) or a racist isolationist (when I say something about bombing Syria).katamari Damassi wrote: ↑ A couple of my favorite podcasts-This American Life, and Radiolab-have been on a pity the migrants kick lately.

Aspie and Asperger's as medical terms are on the outs right now. Because, of course, Nazis.

Everything's coming up Nazis.
Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Asperger's syndrome as a diagnosis was officially killed off with the introduction of DSM-5 in 2013, along with PDD-NOS and a few other autism related terms. Given the partisanship between those who liked Asperger's view of the condition versus those who preferred Kanner's, I wouldn't write Asperger off entirely. People have published strange things for all sorts of reasons that later turned out to be self-serving. There's an excellent history of the rivalry between the two camps* in Neurotribes, which is a book I'd recommend to anyone wanting to know more about the subject in general.
*A kampf between camps? Sorry.

Watched episode 1 and 2 of Lost in Space.
There’s something I can’t put my finger on, but Judy wasn’t how I remembered her.
I did appreciate the mom cucking the Delta Force husband.
And I’m glad Penny knew where her pasty skin and red hair placed her in the pecking order.
I was also glad that Will displayed all the gender traits of Tinky Winky.
And that Doctor Smith’s penis had fallen off. Very cutting edge.

I guess I'm going to have to break down and watch this. But if Dr. Smith isn't letching on William, I'm going to be majorly disappointed.Brive1987 wrote: ↑ Watched episode 1 and 2 of Lost in Space.

Futrelle! Blimey O'Riley, that's a name I haven't heard in a while. *checks Futrelle's twitter* - oh, he's still at it. Time was, you'd see Futrelle's name all over the place, in relation to his lone heroic quest to bring down the MRM. Now he seems to have become even more a nonentity than Peez - just another WOMON RESPECTOR in the eddying twitter sea of WOMON RESPECTORS. The fact that I nicknamed him David Futile turned out to be pretty apt.

Kirb, you could go with Pitchstone Press, the preferred semi-vanity press for such Atheist luminaries as Karen Stollznow, Dan Arel, Greta Christina, David ‘Moslem Vikings’ McAfee, Aron Ra, and the illustrious Dr. Richard Carrier, Ph.D.
You could also talk to Hemant Mehta, who just started his own press. The first offering was about the intersection of Atheist activism and QUILTBAG activism, but I'm sure Hemant's planning on expanding to other topics -- like the intersection of Atheist activism with BLM, feminism, MoveOn, etc.

I had a raccoon tear through a fly screen to get at the cat's food. Fortunately it left through the same hole rather then exploring the house. I'm glad to say the only time one of us met a bear face to face in the garden there were no casualties.free thoughtpolice wrote: ↑ Home invasion, Canada style.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
Sorry, but the game is up. The SPLC is on to you civic nationalist types and the way you've been laying pipes for the alt-right all along.
But at least you're in good company:Though both the alt-lite and alt-right reject “establishment” conservatism, the former claims to adhere to civic nationalism — a poorly defined catch-all term for those who embrace nativism but shy away from more radical racist rhetoric — while the latter is explicitly white nationalist.
:lol:The “skeptics” movement — whose adherents claim to challenge beliefs both scientific and spiritual by questioning the evidence and reasoning that underpin them — has also helped channel people into the alt-right by way of “human biodiversity.” Sam Harris has been one of the movement’s most public faces, and four posters on the TRS thread note his influence.

Wow. The Democrats fear Mueller is about to be fired so they do this (+/- info from Mueller's investigation to inform their case)?

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
The thing is, I'm not even to the right. If I were American I'd have likely voted for Bernie Sanders. But then again the SPLC also classified Maajid Nawaz as an anti-muslim extremist, so they're not really that reliable.windy wrote: ↑Sorry, but the game is up.

Re: There are 2018 genders... and a bitch ain't one
I disagree with your analysis. I think that the Dems will be given a gift if Mueller is fired. They would love this because it would be seen as "proof" that Trump is obstructing justice. Trump will not fire Mueller... he will just keep chanting "witch hunt". The Dems are frustrated that even stuff like the Stormy Daniels story doesn't really hurt Trump.screwtape wrote: ↑ https://www.cnn.com/2018/04/20/politics ... index.html

I think the Dems fear that Mueller will not find anything on Trump. Most Americans think the Russia thing is a "witch hunt" as Trump claims. The Dems want their own lawsuit so they can drag out the accusation into the November election. The lawsuit will help the Dems find more "smoke".... and... as they keep saying... "where there is smoke there is fire". Just more chatter to try to convince Dems to go to the poles in November, even though the Dems have a shit platform and shit ideas.
