If thou gazest long into the Pit, the Pit will also gaze into thee

Yes, "rank insanity" covers it neatly. If we have 56 trillion sets of pronouns, it completely negates the whole point of having pronouns at all and definitely turns the English language into "incoherent twaddle" (thanks for that one, I treasure it). The whole point of language is to communicate cle...

Snip I might have missed someone mentioning it, as I am not fully caught up with the Internet yet. I have had a crazy year with special people and pets dying around me. The cull so far is one husband, one mother, and 5 cats -- and there is still December to go. I wish I could hibernate. Snip Jeezus...

The thing that puzzles me about this whole pronoun warfare thing is that nobody seems to have mentioned one simple fact. Pronouns are basically a quick and simple way to refer to people or items. They are a form of shorthand communication, and save the need to remember a ton of names or make a clum...

And yet Watson still can't get a job. Saturated job market for her narrow niche, and many other people already in that market niche are far more talented and have a much better work ethic than her. She had opportunities. Really good opportunities. And she blew them all. And then they left her. Oh b...

Shit,you guys are fetal tissue, I'm 50 and I'm not old yet. You're only as old as the woman you feel. ;) So that's 67 here then. Maybe it's not that the world has gone PC-and-bomb-crazy, maybe it's just that this is dementia as seen from inside and I'll wake into lucidity one day. Watson who? PZ wh...

So 2016 claims another one -- Rick Parfitt *sniffle*

Yeah yeah he's only one guy but he's another nail in the coffin of my youf.

I'm still catching up; don't care it I've been :nin:

Merry Christmas!

Honestly I've never found this line of argument compelling. I think it's more likely that someone like Shives just places a large amount of his self-worth on what someone else, in this case his wife, thinks of him. Nobody wants the people closest to them to think they're a bad person. People want t...

There's a ball-curdlingly horrific but hilarious video of him and his bird talking about movies and comics somewhere. You almost feel sorry for him. Ah here it is, from Shoe0ffHead. The whole thing is pretty good, with some sharp commentary from Shoe and Armoured Sceptic, but go to 15:42 in particu...

Did I miss an email? Like everyone in the world says the exact same thing. Shives was always a self important arrogant little shit who thought he was better than whoever he was making a video about. Now that his focus has shifted people are starting to notice it. Yes he was always self-important an...

Shives went full SJW. Many suspect that his wife had something to do with it. Ah OK. It's alarming to think that one person can take away another's reasoning power so completely... Seems to me that the need for some kind of ideology and in-group support never really left him. Wonder how many ex-chr...

Oh, wow. How did that happen? In any case, I was trying to say that its good to see at least two people on this thread a bit skeptical about the Saville stuff (Andrew, Billie) even if they don't agree with opinion which would nearly totally exonerate him. Me too. I never liked the guy, felt that he...

Well, damn and blast. I shall miss John Greg here, was hoping he would pick up and maybe visit some of us to keep warm and fed. I had just saved up some more cash for him; going to spend some of it on booze and drink to him tonight. Maybe all week. Getting plastered seems like a good way to deal wit...

And no, I will not buy a smelly wee beasty ferrret. Ferrets are cute enough, but you couldn't do better than a guinea-pig for company. They snuggle and burble and are the closest you can get to a tribble. Also I find the 'pit is good company for those lonesome times even when I cannot muster the sp...

As to the "pedophile" accusation, I was making a stupid joke. I.e: if Steers doesn't like menopausal women, he must be a paedo (which incidentally includes women aged 18 and more in this context). Wait, what? I understood the menopause to be what hit me in my mid 50's, characterised by the stopping...

'father raper'?? WTF - where did that come from, Steers? It seems very weirdly specific. :lol: Alice's Restaurant Massacree. Now I can't stop that song from running through my head today, thanks guys. Several pages behind still trying to catch up, so probably :nin: but what the hey. I am a bit conf...

St. Louis and Goldsmiths' rabids -- both spread their cuntery to show what's going wrong with education establishments of today. I considered the LW cabal and Danielle Muscato but they were simply too fucking stupid, and unable finally to do real harm because of that. Peez doesn't have the balls to ...

I am certainly in a better state than I was, and will even be able to have something of a good, if quiet, Christmas That is excellent news! I shall sneak under the radar of the Dark Forces tomorrow to continue my stalking, as well as my Pit catch-up attempt, but for now I must sleeeeep. G'night all.

Trying to catch up 100 or so pages, but I saw this (looking at the end first) Sorry to bring the mood down once again, but... I just don't know what to do.

Question about microaggression. As far as I understand it, asking a brown person "where are you from originally?" is a terrible thing to do, and shows racism by microaggression.

I'm told that rats can make great pets, though I never tried them. My youngest, long may she shriek and wail to the heaviest of metal, had two "ratties" for several years.

My Grandmother had a King Charles Spaniel called Poppy who was gorgeous while my Granny was in the room. Once granny left....cunt really absolutely evil cunt, we'd be stood in a corner with the little bitch snarling and pacing....of course as soon as granny returned she'd start licking us all over....

A few pages back it seems that I put something badly; nothing new there, my brain is not the finest tool in the box and my communication skills with cats are phenomenal, with humans not so much. I was trying to explain to John Greg that although his lived experience of opening up to us about his sit...

It is terribly embarrassing and shaming for me to be going through this, so I am going to have some trouble making up my mind about accepting financial help from people who I've never even met. Family is one thing (and what a huge fucking surprise it was to have mine let me down), but you folks are...

Question for the Pit's conscience re doxxing: If one does a google search for a 'nym and links to individuals turn up in the top two or three hits, should sharing that be considered doxxing? My view, as I have expressed in the past, is no, but I'd like to see what others think. No. I didn't underst...

Thanks for the endorsement. I came here with no plan, just a nym. Lusoma was in on my regeneration from the very start (or he doesn't read his e-mails). I just invented all the fake biography as it went along. Thanks for the shits 'n' giggles. I have no idea where the Guests all turned up from, I e...

OK, that didn't work so well. My password - 40 characters long, since there have been literally thousands of attempts to guess it - broke the database upgrade, and corrupted a whole heap o' shit.

Wow glad the place is back up. For a minute there I thought I broke it by trying to post :shock:

Technically it IS self-censorship to refrain from going after someone's job. It is also self-censorship to avoid calling for people to kill the president. Sometimes self-censorship is a wise decision. Yes. Surely we do that all the time in a civilised society, as well as self restraint -- for insta...

What's up with Damion? What's his beef with the pit or is he just a contrarian? If I had to guess (which is what I would have to do, in fact, as I have no idea), I would say that Lsuoma once applied a Pit rule against him (or someone he cares about) and that this bruised his butt so badly that he c...

I'm just trying to pin Steersman down to a simple reply with a mutually exclusive question. LOL good luck with that. I shall be fascinated to see a successful pinning-down of the Steers ;) Otherwise he goes all over the place and I can't be bothered with it. It happened with Wonderist and trying to...

What's up with Damion? What's his beef with the pit or is he just a contrarian? He thinks we damage the cause against SJW's by discrediting our 'side'. He really does not get what the Slympit is about in my opinion or accept it is not only valid but healthy to have several approaches to the issue f...

I have an XX chromosome which identifies as XY except on Fridays when it is XYY. As for sex, I think I remember that. It has something to do with dicks and PHDs, doesn't it? It's even worse than I thought. You are some sort of whateversexual, here to twist our minds with notions of chromosomes and ...

The Walter here is fake, I assume you know that. He regularly posted at the JREF forum while he was trolling. He was trying to get someone here to approve of his Myers threats, as well as general disruption, the same as Damion tries to get people to dox. They are both fundamentally dishonest in the...

Do you think there are differences in intent and tactics between Damion/Walter and PA et al or not? Yes or no. (You're asking someone to give a Yes/No answer, doesn't that make you a TERF or something?) I ain't Steersman but I wanted to stick my head over the parapet waving a white flag to say, to ...

How dare he/they engage in trolling! ;-) Don't think much of Walter's debate question - does the Pit have a future? - or of the evidence that he apparently thinks weighs against the affirmative. But I don't see that there's any justification for suggesting, as some seem to be doing, that he doesn't...

Cunning Punt, I just want to hug that poor kitten and snuggle it until the memories of those microaggressions have faded away. If SJWs were all kittens and not noxious fucking bitches like Watson and Sarkeesian, maybe I'd be full blown beta? Maybe that's the key? Just how much evolution has program...

Peezus: " I will get there if Mary has to carry me on her back."

What's wrong with this thought, from an SJW perspective? Do we not have echoes there of coercion, slavery, male white privilege, misogyny, at the very least?

I prefer not to play in your sandbox but you can play in mine. If you chose to participate, remember that this is Disqus, not the Pit, and the discussion is moderated so keep it clean.

I saw them somewhere on the back channel -- but really it's more fun if we find out the rules as we go along. More chance of pointing our fingers and laughing at those that trip up.
