These people literally, not figuratively, want to take away my rights to due process and equal protection. These people want to enact quota systems to keep me away from education, employment, promotions.
These people advocate social policies that are way beyond Communism, because it's a gendered communism they advocate. From white men according to way beyond their abilities, to women far beyond their needs.
These people laugh and cackle and police speech and try to suppress my speech and call me a rape apologist, and rape enabler, and have in the past threatened to dox me, and call my employers.
They advocate taking my children away in court and they call that "best interest of the child. They have no empathy and will not support me. They do what they can to enslave me or put me in the ground.
Why on earth would I care if they tried to or succeeded in killing themselves?
They are noxious, twisted, hurtful assholes that try to bring others down. Fuck them. They can get cancer and die.
It happened just two days ago in an Ophelia Benson thread at FTB.
Go into a thread that should be about social justice, explain your position as a divorced father trying to make ends meet and enforce visitation when the mother doesn't want to, or is actively trying to alienate the kids from you. Explain, just try to explain why you feel custody support tables are too high in many cases, or how deadbeats may not be deadbeats, try to explain any of that, and see what happens.
These people literally, as in literally, want to exterminate, erase you, enslave you. They have no regard for free speech, for equal protection, or for due process.
They will tell you this specifically if you ask them. Women cannot be sexist towards men. There is no such thing as misandry.
These are death threats. And while I would always intervene if I saw a suicide in progress, if the next day I read in a paper about some SJW killing his or herself, I would say fine. Wonderful. A good start.

Well, if she does indeed nearby as has been suggested, I'll at least offer the following explanation:
This region is such a shit hole, you either give up reason and join the church groups playing their holier-than-thou games, turn to drugs and alcohol, end up with an overactive disgust of humanity, or turn it all inwards and become a self important ponce with no social skills because you're avoiding everyone else.
We obviously chose different paths.

If anything, if there's a rape culture, it's against men.Metalogic42 wrote:Furthermore, I’d even go so far as to say that we live in an *anti* rape culture – just look at how damaging to one’s reputation even the accusation of being a rapist can be, regardless of whether or not it’s true. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong places (but if the very people who make up society is the wrong place, what’s the right place?), but it seems clear to me that society despises rape.
Schoolgirl have sex with teacher - PERVERT PEDOPHILE CUT HIS BALLS OFF!
Schoolboy have sex with teacher - ... Was she hot?
Rape jokes are not funny!!
Hahaha he dropped the soap!
15 yo boyfriend have consensual sex with 13½ yo girlfriend - Boyfriend fined and sentenced to community service for child rape.
15 yo girl have consensual sex with two 13½ yo old boys - Court finds that if anyone was the victim, it was the girl, since the boys, by getting an early sexual debut, could be considered to have exploited her.
Violence against women are never funny!
HAHA he got hit in his balls!
Genital mutilation is horrible!
ROFL she cut off his dick!
Men can't get raped! If he was hard, he wanted it!
etc.
Honestly, to me it seems really strange that feminists keep talking about rape culture, since it's so easy to simply read the wiki definition and turn it completely around on them. The only way it ever works as a concept, is if you buy the "everything is rape" thing, ie. had a drink, gave in to nagging, or just had marital sex = OMFG RAPE!
Of course, to actually make that work, you have to sneak in some seriously retarded stuff in there so that not all the men becomes raped as well, else you end up with 98% of the population being both rape victims and rapists, at the same time. So they either have to degrade women into 10yo childs unable to take responsible for their own actions, or that men either deserve it or simply cannot be raped. Either way they go, they have to be so extremely sexist that any normal human being just would want to puke on them.
ps. Hi and welcome Metalogic42 (and all the other newcommers, so many new people, in such a short time!), and happy new year to everyone! Here's to hoping 2013 will be as full of "lulz" as 2012. Alas, with A+ almost dead it's not looking good. Then again, the Half Fish is still around...

Made a guest post on Crommunist blog, talking about how society is discriminating against HIV+ people by making it illegal for them to have unprotected sex with others, without first informing their partner of their HIV infection. Also suggested using some new terms to remove the stigma, "poz" for HIV+ persons, and "converting" instead of "infecting"...

Gravity Lamp vs PZ Lyers
Executive Summary:
PZ is an incompetent libellous cunt, and a failure as a scientist.
Re his gravity lamp train wreck: the thing described could easily make a worklamp that emits 64 Lumens for a half an hour!
Perfect for reading his non-existent book by.
Even by privileged Western standards.
__________________________________________________
TL;DR - Back of the envelope analysis:
Gravitational potential energy of a 10kg mass over a 1.5m drop:
Joules = 10kg × 1.5m × 9.8m/s
= 147J
Watts = Joules/second
@ 30 minutes between "lifts":
Watts = 147/(30 × 60)
= 0.0817W
@ ≈90% efficiency = 80mW continuous.
Now, superbright white LEDs can easily put out 100Lumen per Watt.
So this means 8 Lumens if the LED is omnidirectional.
But these LEDs are Tightly focused, and ideal for work-lamps.
I can safely say that they focus their output so that it is concentrated at least 8 times better than omnidirectional.
Which amounts to a work lamp with a usable 64 Lumens at 1 metre, at an absolute minimum.
New Cree LEDs can manage 200Lumens/Watt!
It could be made from a discarded stepper-motor from an old printer. Not exactly in short supply!
The electronics would have to be a bit more than diode rectifiers to achieve 90%+ efficiency, given that LEDs have a minimum switch-on voltage — 1.8V for a bog-standard red LED, and anything up to 4+V for high-power spotlights. But for an 80mW white LED, my guess is around 2.3V before they will produce anything. Ordinary diodes sap 1.2V to start with, so they are out.
Luckily cheap stepper motors have two phases, so when one is under voltage, the other is above.
But for true efficiency, we need 2 sets of synchronous MOSFET bridge rectifiers.
Cheap as chips, plentiful, and almost zero loss.
Add a supercapacitor reservoir as a buffer/smoother before the active current regulator (again, these are cheap as chips from China).
That way we scavenge almost all of the energy to turn into light.
I might make one, just to prove that PZ Lyers is a libellous jack-ass, but that would be guilding the lily.
And no, I am not going to steal that hat for my avatar. I only wear Akubra hats.
(Although I do have a genuine 19th Century Stetson Bowler hat, like Butch Cassidy's. I don't wear it much. it makes me look like more of a dickhead than usual.)

Guess I'm just a glutton for punishment. At least at this point it seems unlikely Ophelia would just delete my posts, since they're intertwined with other people's comments (which consist mainly of insults against anyone who questions Ophelia's opening post; you'll be shocked to hear I'm a trolling troll, a piece of shit, and a scum-sucking remora (that last one was a bonus, since I got to learn a new vocabulary word from it, always a good thing).
Here are the 4 since the 2 for which the screen caps were posted a few pages back here:

I've copy/pasted that last one below in the spoiler, since it's currently the last one in the thread so potentially at the greatest risk of being deleted. Warning, it's long (that's why it's in the spoiler). Thought I'd just lay it all out there for them to enjoy, and give them more excuses to reply with insults. :D

I don’t usually frequent FtB, in part because it’s so painful to see supposed skeptics acting like this.
But anyway, since we’re here, let’s recap a bit, shall we?
Bad Jim #33: “No iron rod perforating a woman’s intestines could ever be as important as their most precious treasured grievances.â€
- I hope that makes you feel better to say & think, m’dear. If you’ve done some important work in women’s rights, women’s health, etc, I’d love to hear about it.
Ophelia in opening post: “It creeps me the fuck out that open boastful misogyny has become so popular and mainstream lately. I think it’s strange that the vocal boastful misogynists don’t worry about this. … I think it’s strange that so many people think it’s good to foster a climate of ragey hatred.â€
- Oh, she’s not talking about her own experiences? My bad. It sure sounded like it. Whose experiences is she talking about, then? And her claim that “open boastful misogyny has become so popular and mainstream lately†– does she mean universally, or does she mean directed at herwomen she knows? Does she mean since Elevatorgate, or is she talking about a different time frame?
Let’s move on. So, what do you all propose to reduce rape?
Ophelia #2: “Rapists need to stop attacking women.â€
- Great idea. How do you propose taking steps to achieve that? Like, exactly what steps would you propose? What has been tried so far, and what evidence is there that it works?
Rodney Nelson #11 “We need to change the rape culture found throughout the world. We need to make rape as socially, as politically and as morally unacceptable as murder is.â€
- Just an aside, the woman in India was raped and murdered (though the murder occurred as part of the rape; hard to know how she & her friend would have fared if rape were considered unacceptable by her attackers but other crimes were still on the table).
- “Change the rape culture found throughout the world.†Presumably, one might go to the countries with the lowest per capita rates of rape to learn what the secrets to their success are, right? (Understanding that under-reporting seriously impacts the official rates of this crime.) So, you could try a site like this (hey, look! I can use Google!): Rapes (per capita) by country to find Egypt, Armenia, and Azerbaijan as the 3 with the lowest (reported) rates. Canada and Japan also have low rates.
- Of course, to find out where your efforts could best be used, you’d want to look at the top of the list. Congo isn’t on this list but in 2012 was said to have the highest rate in the world. Lesotho is at the top here, followed distantly by New Zealand, Belgium, and Iceland. So you’ll want to pack your back & off you go to the Congo, Lesotho, New Zealand, Belgium, and Iceland, to start implementing the changes you think will work! (Whether or not you stop by Egypt, Armenia, and Azerbaijan on the way to take notes.)
SallyStrange #19 As for what will actually help bring down rape rates? Well, according to research, the most successful rapists are repeat rapists who use drugs, alcohol, and threats of violence (rather than actual violence) to rape. They usually rape acquaintances too. Why? Because … everyone … thinks that date rape isn’t really rape because the woman must have secretly been “asking for it.†That means no more victim blaming, like Abdul was doing here. You can help out by criticizing Abdul*, who is actively working AGAINST decreasing rape rates, rather than attacking Ophelia, who is working FOR decreasing rape rates.
*Abdul Alhazred #1 proposes arming women & repeats this in #6. (His prison rape bit was weird.)
- All right, so we can help out by criticizing someone who is proposing deterrence by arming women. That’s the first practical step mentioned so far. Even if we extend it to criticizing everyone who proposes this step – presumably a relatively small number of people – how has that actually helped?
- Oh, and we can stop making any critical comments about Ophelia’s posts, because that is counterproductive (and might end up raising rape rates? Hmm)
What did that awful slimy troll skeptixx suggest in this thread, related to rape rates?
#16 “How about actually discussing what approaches might actually help achieve a goal of actually preventing rapes?â€
- Well, we have an answer as above: attack Abdul! That’ll apparently feel useful, even if it does fuck-all to actually reduce anyone’s risk of rape.
#28 “Anyone who is seriously interested in trying to prevent rape, how ’bout taking a look at this 2011 summary from the National Resource Center on Domestic Violence (US): Rape Prevention and Risk Reduction: Review of the Research Literature for Practitioners (or another similar resource if you know of one), then go ahead and propose some practical approaches. …if you can find any literature that might be more pertinent to India, please do present it.â€
*crickets*
I don’t suppose anyone is interested in listing the 3 general approaches to rape prevention, and for extra credit describing the potential upsides and downsides of each, and what evidence there is to support the efficacy of each general approach?[/spoiler]
Here are the 4 since the 2 for which the screen caps were posted a few pages back here:

I've copy/pasted that last one below in the spoiler, since it's currently the last one in the thread so potentially at the greatest risk of being deleted. Warning, it's long (that's why it's in the spoiler). Thought I'd just lay it all out there for them to enjoy, and give them more excuses to reply with insults. :D

Ron really does have beautiful locks. Much nicer than his stache. I bet he would tell his sexual partners about any STD. Have a safe (not too safe) and merry (not too merry) year everyone! Look forward to me missing more obvious sarcasm in 2013.

On Twitter:
Did the JREF really tweet that?! She seems to say they did:
The JREF even retweeted her...
Then I saw this from none other than Sid Rodrigues (Watson's ex husband):
All a bit strange.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Oh, just seen the earlier post. So the JREF DID tweet that. Why tweet that then delete it? Did someone have access to the account and got a bit drunk? Or did DJ tweet it himself? If the latter, then why delete it?
