I think that Aneris' point - to which I'm a tiny bit sympathetic - is that we should only be calling Twatson a cunt and not going over some line and calling her an ugly cunt.

What many people (and not just Twatson and Peezus) often seem to ignore in discussions of doxxing is how the level and effect of doxxing depends on the target's current status. This is part of why, a little while ago, I asked for a clearer definition of "doxxing." If the target is currently anonymou...

You are quite right that anything we do here at the pit is not going to stop someone like RW being RW, but this does not make it a Mykeru vs. Nugent tactical decision. In any battle many weapons are called for; some sledgehammers and some kid gloves. I absolutely agree with this, which is why I am ...

The more that I have thought about Aneris' attempt to shame folks for 'shooping pictures of people like Twatson, the more I have wanted to ask Aneris the same question that I asked Watson, albeit more seriously. Please note that I am not objecting to the false premise of Aneris' argument that our 's...

I sure hope that the FtB folks who have been accused of stuff don't hear about this.

The high road is boring, the air is too thin, and the lack of UV protection is bad for your skin.

So, if pilot-wave theory makes a come-back and knocks off quantum mechanics (e.g., http://www.wired.com/2014/06/the-new-quantum-reality/ ), will we have to rename Schrodinger's Rapist?

Please stop posting that picture of Twatson. It looks so much like a guy I knew in college in his red Halloween wig that it's totes creeping me out. Thanks.

Also, if you take the post down - especially after all those cntrl-Cs and cntrl-Vs, which are difficult, ableist scum! - then you lose the clicks of people coming to tell you that you're an idiot.

Wow! PZ Meyers recently made a list that had Subramanyan Chandresekar on it as well. How the hell did that happen? I wouldn't pay much attention to that one. It had PZ Myers, but also included Mick Jagger and Mark Zuckerberg. It didn't have Christopher Hitchens, Neil degrasse Tyson, Vilayanur S. Ra...

V. S. Ramachandran - known usually as Rama - is a vision neuroscientist, atheist, very slick speaker, and utter a-hole. Amusingly enough, he was (when at U.C. San Diego, at least) an outrageous sexist, as well.

"No, Rama, I do not want to have lab meeting down at Black's Beach, thanks very much."

It's purely theoretical, of course. For future reference, in case something related comes up. But I'm worried that Twatson [spelling?] won't always be so generous with her time, so I asked now.

Yeah, yeah, so I'm providing clicks, but this is in moderation at Twatson's: This is so brilliant that I want more. What if youâ€™re dealing with someone who does not have an employer or any friends who seem to care if they are a liar, hypocrite, harasser, etc, and everyone already knows their real ...

The fact that Watson is a cunt is not helping me come up with an answer to mono-red prowess decks, so you all suck. Drown in fucking Sorrow. That's the best option right now.

Those of who are not masturDbators, being forced to walk something back is a good way to lose and/or fail.

Be fair. It isn't inaccurate to say humans evolved from apes any more than it is to say we evolved from fish. Correct. We evolved from apes, just not the apes around today. That may be BRS's point, but it's not a point worth stressing in a talk of this nature. In my experience, saying anything clos...

PZ - In a recent post (https://archive.today/JdaUB), you wrote: "Scientists who try to marry their empirical scientific ideas to their religious beliefs are committing a similar kind of betrayal." Before sneering at said scientists too much (cf. charitability of the Michael Nugent sort), you might w...

This is mostly aimed at PZ, because he needs to practice before his debate in Fargo. If you use the term "apes" to refer to the common ancestor, as opposed to the apes that we have today, then you're using the term in a way that must apply to humans, as well. So you'd be saying that apes evolved fro...

That's an interesting thesis - that PZ doesn't believe that anyone else really believes it, either. You all kidnap him and bring him to my lab.

I think he stumbles over the words a bit (he's not a great public speaker) but I think it's obvious that he doesn't mean that there is 547,000 telomeric repeats on chromosome 2 - since he has immediately prior to this given the much lower total for the motif in the forward and reverse orientations....

You guys are using your knowledge of what is true and what was probably in the paper, rather than listen to PZ. Here are PZ's words: "...Widely distributed, intact, telomere motifs. What does that mean? That means, when you look at Chr2, you find this six nucleotide sequence scattered all over the p...

He reads straight from the creationist paper, and then he says "you've got 547 thousand of those ". It's a slip of the tongue- he says the correct numbers right before and they're up on the screen the whole time. Get your game on, I watched a minute of it and already found 2 better slip-ups than th...

That's not what it says. They found 45,450 and 45,770 of each of the 6-base telomeric motifs, meaning the motifs covered 547,320 bases. Agreed, which is why you must listen to what PZ said when discussing the 500,000+ number; he calls it the number of times that they found the motif, anywhere, acro...

Wow. PZ really is a disingenuous little shitbird. At his talk at Skepticon 7, he does some math (around the 16-minute point), to show that the expected number of TTAGGG motifs on Chr2 by chance should be about 58,000. Then he says that we've found about 45,000 of these motifs, so there's nothing to ...
