My comment about Harris was snarky, but honestly I never understood the appeal even during the heyday. He was always going on about how free will didn't exist that once we realized people behave the way they behave because of things outside of their control we'd... change our behavior. Just... what???

Let's think about the "Four Horsemen"... shall we? Four? EXCUSE ME! The 5th and greatest self appointed fifth horseman, one PZ MEYERS ring a bell? I remember watching a video of Hitchens where he introduced Meyers and doing an actual double take at the screen. That man is a real cautionary tale. He...

The brilliance of Dennett was getting out of the armchair and learning enough about other fields he could usually come up with real world examples in favor of thought experiments, the crutch philosophers so often rely on.

Let's think about the "Four Horsemen"... shall we? Dawkins: His opinions re: atheism were always embarrassing, whereas I'd say The Selfish Gene is required reading.

I'm glad to hear the New York trip went well John. Keep us updated.

Now they have Steersman arguing with d4m10n while a crowd sub-pharyngula trolls look on.

I couldn't think of a more fitting fate for d4m10n or people that are still talking about skepticism in the year of our Lord 2022.

There's this guy I know, small business owner, gets temporary bans at FB every month or so for posting the kind basic libertarian takes that enrage AWFLs and AWFL aspirants.

I'm not sure what you expected with a mixed company, milquetoast site like FB. It's a place for family photos and funny cat videos.

I'd rate the odds of landing in jail after getting stopped randomly while carrying in NYC to be higher than the odds of getting randomly attacked.

Deadly force is justified when the individual reasonably believes it's necessary to prevent themselves from being called the n word. Old man had it coming.

I'm pretty sure one of my hens is a rooster.

Banter like that is what I’m getting at. It’s not lying. It’s flirting. The only information being conveyed is that you care enough to play the game.

If the woman insists you’re lying it just means you’re not playing the game to her tastes.

Or something. Who knows with broads.

Further, my wife doesn't like the way I love her. I will take care of her until our dying day, but she wants me to love her like I used to... when we would fuck for five hours at a stretch. She is obsessed with the fact that I don't have that kind of passion anymore. I am not sexually attracted to ...

Taking a cue from John and switching over to bird reports for a break. The state fish hatchery is a mile down the road. Next time I pass by, I'll stop & ask if eagles dive for the fish. I'm sure they do, though perhaps not that often. It's common to spot them in Connecticut now. That is huge btw, i...

Taking a cue from John and switching over to bird reports for a break. We keep a feeder outside the living room window for a group of hummingbirds that live in the yard.

Well, if that's the case, I hope our hypothetical rapist conducted a risk assessment, familiarised himself with relevant COSHH rules/regulations and was wearing appropriate PPE before he plundered her filthy stench-trench.

Bit of trivia I learned after leaving New York and looking into the gun laws, Vermont is constitutional carry (i.e. no permit required to carry), and also it has no stand your ground law for your home. One hell of a combo.

Now I am hearing that the 100mph (estimated) fiery (but mostly peaceful) crash involving a Mercedes Benz where six people were killed on the spot, was being driven by a drunk registered nurse.

He wound up suing.

No resolution in the link. If anyone has a Pacer login and wants to look it up I'll comp you the 50 cents or so. I'm totally good for it.

Even better. I know where the local survivalists live and I have guns.

Is there some context to the new thread name I'm missing from my time away? I'd have assumed everyone here takes it as a given the alphabet soup agencies get up to nefarious things all the time.

If I do an archive search for Ray Epps am I going to uncover a rabbit hole of bitter infighting?

I think it comes down to how much a person still adheres to the civic religion. The video of that guard telling rioters they were walking on "sacred" ground illustrates it well. Murder and assault and arson are bad, but sacrilege is far worse.

I gave up at 34 or so mins. Perhaps someone else can tell me if they mentioned the May riot at the WH? It's been a while since I listened and I don't recall for this particular one. He has done some coverage of the BLM riots though. He also got into hot water with his fans for disagreeing that the ...
