Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Well... it's good to be aware of someone's bias, but I wouldn't immediately write off what they were saying if their stats can be confirmed. I thought there was an idea that people who get tried for rape are more likely to get off - at least that was my perception of it, possibly coloured by feminist media and anecdotes - so it's interesting that the conviction rate is higher than for other crimes.

It seems to me that what is common to pretty much all SJWs is hate: hate of anything that they deem is not congruent with their particular Brave New World.

Following a national trend, outspoken Men’s Rights sympathizer and atheist activist Justin Vacula will convert to Catholicism. Two months later, he will be excommunicated. Vacula will retaliate by sending 95 tweets to the Pope.
Bloggers Thunderf00t and Sasha Pixlee will agree to face off in a mixed martial arts match.
Thunderf00t will spend months posting taunting videos. He will claim that he will beat the taller and stronger Pixlee by using his knowledge of physics and evolutionary psychology.
“This will be an epic victory of science over feminism!†Thunderf00t will say.
When the match finally starts, Thunderf00t will scream and charge at Pixlee. Pixlee will stop him with a jab, and follow with an uppercut. The uppercut will send Thunderf00t into the hanging scoreboard. When the match is called, Pixlee will hold the MMA recored for fastest knockout, and the height recored for knocking an opponent into the air.
After the match, Pixlee will be asked if this will finally resolve the deep rifts in the secular community.
“Of course not.†He will reply. “All I did was give him a concussion, and when he wakes up, he’ll whine about being a beta male. This match didn’t resolve any of the underling sexism in the secularism community. The only reason I agreed to this match is so I could donate the prize money to Women Thinking Inc. Their pro-vaccination campaigns are awesome. Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to go home and cuttle with my kitty because that’s how I roll!â€
When Thunderf00t wakes up, he will announce that he has an idea for a video that does not involve making fun of creationists, praising science, attacking feminists, slamming Islam, ridiculing libertarians, or time-lapse photography.

Bahhhhhh! I really hate these sites that talk about how autistics "don't need a cure" they "just need acceptance." I've worked with severe autistics whose behaviors literally keep them in their own world where all they could do is hum and flap their fingers. They couldn't express their wants or needs in any productive way, often screaming when their senses were overloaded. Sometimes, in art, they'd do amazing and beautiful pictures, putting colors together in amazing ways and then just walk away, only having done it because they had been prompted so many times by staff and they just wanted to get it over with. Sometimes, you think you're getting close to them, breaking through somehow, but then you realize her touching your scarf is merely because she likes its softness. They literally can't make a social connection with people and can't focus enough to ever be left alone. Many are in programs with a ratio of one staff to one client, despite the program being fit for 1:4. "Don't need a cure, just acceptance." Because I'm sure that while the autistic person is rocking in the corner with her fingers in here ears, screaming, "acceptance" is going to make her feel better, even though she doesn't even understand the social cues for handshakes.

Again... thanks for confirming that I'm not insane.
I guess it's true... in an insane world, a sane man would appear insane.
In any event, many/most of you are probably aware that the trope of "rape culture" appears to have started to become popular in certain circles back in the '70s. For example you can reference Susan Brownmiller's 1975 book Against Our Will: Men, Women, and Rape. ISBN-10: 0449908208 ISBN-13: 978-0449908204
I recommend that you read the book if you have not already done so (one of the things I got out of it was that Brownmiller was obsessed with her rape fantasies BTW). I also suggest adding Dworkin and Saldana to further inform and flesh out this perspective.
Now, here is a link to an article that could be interpreted as support for Brownmiller, Dworkin and their ilk:
Y-chromosome, mtDNA, and autosomal DNA from Treilles (5,000 years ago, Neolithic France)
http://dienekes.blogspot.com/2011/05/y- ... l-dna.html
Basically, we have a case where ancient DNA reveals male diffusion through the Neolithic Mediterranean route and incidentally, the fact that they did not bring their women (few, if any) with them.G2a was also one of the haplogroups represented in a small sample from Neolithic Central Europe. I think we can now safely say that G2a may have been the main Neolithic link that ties the farmers that went north across the Balkans to Central Europe, and those that followed the western, maritime route to the Western Mediterranean. The unambiguous West Asian origin of this lineage should put to rest any ideas about Neolithic farmers in the Western Mediterranean being descended from indigenous Mesolithic foragers.
I think we can reasonably assume that natural selection, favoured the women who were able coexist with the invaders after they killed off their existing menfolk, and that the women who could not, died without reproducing. I would not be surprised if the women who did survive, did so because they were able to do what it takes to do so.
It is also not hard to see where natural selection also favoured males who were willing and able to do whatever it took to reproduce. Killing any woman who did not cooperate and letting those who did live.
The bottom line is that we are all descended from people who did whatever it took to survive and reproduce and incidentally, why the "blank state" thesis is so laughable, not only counter intuitive, but demonstrable false to any one who has parented more than one child (they all come with their own distinct personality from the day they are born).
So, not a pretty picture. Quite brutal in fact. Nature red in claw and fang and all that. So let us not forget a couple of things, that we are all descended from the survivors of some pretty brutal times and practises that little distinguished us from our animal heritage, and that the average person today has twice as many female ancestors than male.
Evolutionary Psychology anyone? I doubt the field will ever get around to address the implications of the success of the "Bodice Rippers" AKA "Mommy Porn" and why so many women appear to get so much of a thrill out of them, and why they appear to be so addicted to them. But it would be very entertaining if they did so.
I also doubt that rapists (male or female) are ever going to be entirely eliminated from our population any time soon, for the same reason other "deviant" behaviour such as BDSM etc. etc. will either.
Deep roots people. Deep roots.

Jesus Christ. Via Braytons facebook-- The first thing homeboy does after getting home from his 'open heart' surgery is eat:
1-- Braised lamb shanks
2-- Braised short ribs
With Worcestershire sauce.
"Hey Im morbidly obese and just got out of the hospital for 'open heart' surgery. Better tank up on saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium!"
I mean Im all for YOLO. When my grandmother was at The End she pretty much ate nothing but chocolate. But it seems odd to beg for money for future expenses right before yelling YOLO and injecting pharmaceutical grade pork belly into your veins.
And when my partner got home from actual open heart surgery we ate homemade juice, oatmeal, soup, fish, rice, veggies-- 'Lamb shanks' would have quickly lead to 'Lamb vomits'.
Hes also bragging about there being 'no pain and very little even basic discomfort', while my partner could barely breathe without pain meds (at one point I got called into the hospital at 2 am because 'I dont need pain meds!' turned into 'Im not breathing because it hurts' which turned into 'We might have to intubate again if the blood oxygen levels dont go up'). A year later and I cant hear a cough or a sneeze without wincing from sympathy pain.
Brayton is one fat mother fucker, and is recovering much better from 'open heart surgery' than my athletic six-pack-abs partner. Its like Brayton didnt even have what would be described as 'open heart surgery' at all! How nice for him!
'Cancer'. 'Open heart surgery'. I *genuinely* hate a couple FfTBers.
1-- Braised lamb shanks
2-- Braised short ribs
With Worcestershire sauce.
"Hey Im morbidly obese and just got out of the hospital for 'open heart' surgery. Better tank up on saturated fat, cholesterol, and sodium!"
I mean Im all for YOLO. When my grandmother was at The End she pretty much ate nothing but chocolate. But it seems odd to beg for money for future expenses right before yelling YOLO and injecting pharmaceutical grade pork belly into your veins.
And when my partner got home from actual open heart surgery we ate homemade juice, oatmeal, soup, fish, rice, veggies-- 'Lamb shanks' would have quickly lead to 'Lamb vomits'.
Hes also bragging about there being 'no pain and very little even basic discomfort', while my partner could barely breathe without pain meds (at one point I got called into the hospital at 2 am because 'I dont need pain meds!' turned into 'Im not breathing because it hurts' which turned into 'We might have to intubate again if the blood oxygen levels dont go up'). A year later and I cant hear a cough or a sneeze without wincing from sympathy pain.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I'm not a cardiologist, or a dietitian or anything like that, but I woke up in July 2011 with severe chest pain and went through 48 h in the ER/hospital with troponin tests, angiograms, stress-echo test etc. They couldn't find anything structurally wrong with the pump. Best guess was coronary artery spasm. When I was released I was told by the cardio doc that a heart-healthy diet would include steak and red wine, so maybe Two-cows got similar advice? Anyway, I'm surprised he went for the items you mentioned instead of a good Delmonico or similar...ERV wrote:Jesus Christ.

BTW, I note in the photo that he has a badge saying "JT's daddy" or similar: if the kid he's hugging is JT, then he's well on his way in poppa's footsteps.

So when shall we expect them all to fly off to India to avenge that girl that was raped and then killed herself? Should I pack their bags now?justinvacula wrote:http://i.imgur.com/iiVce.jpg
Isn't it a common claim -- from Stephanie, Greta, Ophelia, Watson, Amy, etc -- that people who offer criticism or otherwise ridicule women online are trying to silence women online? Why doesn't Adam apply skepticism to the claims of people he seems to side with :\
Yes, yes, don't kick me out of the movement (however that would be done, I don't know), just start a character assassination campaign and continue feeding into it!
If only Stephanie and co would stop insulting fellow skeptics and direct their anger at the 'real injustices of the world'

Anywayz, Brayton claims the "open heart" surgery (I favor the pericardial window hypothesis, but IANACT) was to remove fluid from his thorax, due to sarcoidosis or enlarged lymph nodes or whatever-anything-other-than-coronary-artery-disease.
He may be one of those people who's in such denial about his lifestyle choices and morbid obesity, that he thinks he can eat whatever he wants, as long as he pops a few Lipitors in advance.
Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Diet/Fitness junky-- There are any number of lean-to-extra-lean cuts of beef. After surgery you could probably use the extra iron from beef. But short ribs are like, literally half fat, calorie-wise. And half of that fat is saturated. *Not* on Mayos list of heart-healthy cuts.Lsuoma wrote:I'm not a cardiologist, or a dietitian or anything like that, but I woke up in July 2011 with severe chest pain and went through 48 h in the ER/hospital with troponin tests, angiograms, stress-echo test etc. They couldn't find anything structurally wrong with the pump.

No. Some other dude. Pic was from Skepticon this year, apparently. Just found it from Google Images.Lsuoma wrote:BTW, I note in the photo that he has a badge saying "JT's daddy" or similar: if the kid he's hugging is JT, then he's well on his way in poppa's footsteps.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Few things about the A+ snowflakes piss me off more than the duplicitous self-diagnoses of autism spectrum disorder. Do they think it's fun? Do they think they can claim savant talents? Do they just need an "excuse" for being indolent assholes?Tkmlac wrote: Bahhhhhh! I really hate these sites that talk about how autistics "don't need a cure" they "just need acceptance." I've worked with severe autistics whose behaviors literally keep them in their own world where all they could do is hum and flap their fingers. They couldn't express their wants or needs in any productive way, often screaming when their senses were overloaded.
This documentary is not for everyone, and I'm not sure what to think of the shaman woo part, but there are some excellent examples of What Is Not Fun About Autism. The kid can't express what's frustrating him or causing him pain, he has screaming fits, he's incontinent (as are most children with moderate to severe ASD), he's isolated from his peers, etc. etc. Whatever the hell happened in Mongolia, the kid is more neurotypical now, and is no longer socially isolated - why would anyone think he was better off screaming his larynx raw and crapping himself?
