You know what the difference between Damion and Steersman is? Damion sees both sides of a situation because being superior to both sides gives him a hard-on. Steersman sees every possible side of a situation (including those in the greater multiverse) because he's a gods damned quantum AI. :-) Whil...

I will now dedicate my life and fortune to the creation of a time machine for the sole purpose of traveling to ancient Greece, finding Aristotle, and hailing him, "What's up 'Stots!"

Enable scroll finger, especially if you know my views on it (its more of a rehash for newcomers and lurkers) Was PZ Myers always that way? What's different? I wasn't around in ye olden days but have read a few things later of PZ Myers (and Pharyngula). Well done, per usual. I would add that while i...

I can think of all sorts of uses. Highly armed nuts in well-defended compounds are a reality in America today, as we all know. I just don't see why they need them when responding to a domestic disturbance. Unless it's a feeling of 'Hey, we got it, it's kind of a waste not to use it.' Or maybe it's ...

In the interests of accuracy and proper skepticism I must sadly admit that I was hasty in posting that last picture. This is the actual MCSO armored vehicle.

So...riots in Ferguson. I've read tons of articles, so yeah, I know the basics, but I'd like some American pitters to weigh in their opinion. Why is your police becoming more and more violent, even though crimes rates are declining and your incarceration rate is the highest in the world? Because si...

Shanley is a perfect example of the classic Demotivator "Consulting: If you're not a part of the solution, there's good money to be made in prolonging the problem" She basically makes money constantly crying that there is a huge problem with sexism in tech* while never managing to articulate a solut...

Because she's not actually technical, i.e. a programmer? She's a person who writes about tech. Big difference.

I've said this before: she's the Beccy Watson of tech.

Nah, Steersman is many things, but a troll isn't one of them.

Someone reboot the Steersdroid, it's stuck in "Both sides of the 'rift' just need an adult to show them the way to peace and harmony" mode again.

Now take every line in that Slate article about "women" and change it to "men," and change "misandry" to "misogyny."

True story about the block-bot and Slimy Turd's many failings: While my main twitter account --- which is exactly the same as my user name here --- is not on the list, my throw-away joke account that I haven't used in years is on the list. Way to go Oolio.

I've been following the SJW crusade against Madison Young over the revelation that 15 years ago she raped a girl in college (i.e. fooled around with a fellow student after both of them had had a few drinks). Geek Feminism are predictably leading the witch hunt in trying to get her kicked out of hac...

These women are aware it is possible to.turn down an offer to have a drink purchased for them, correct? Or is this a "he refilled my drink for me and somehow that forced me to drink too much" sort of non-agency situation? If you think the only reason a guy buys you a drink is his expectation that y...

But, like everyone at FTB, she misses the main point. Dawkins wasn't giving his personal opinion on normative grades of rape. The statement was an example meant to illustrate a point of logic. This point would have held even if you believed the statement was false (i.e. "Cockroaches are bad. Kitten...

Blindsight is awesome, and offers one of the most unique views on alien contact I've seen. FYI the sequel to Blindsight, Echopraxia will be on sale soon.

Yes, I'm familiar with what SJW think is rape. What are the laws in america? A lot of the nonsense could be stopped with a simple de lege lata/de lege feranda argument. (The laws as they are/the laws as they should be). They should put information like this somewhere everyone can access it. If only...

The question i struggled with most on my last build, was whether to include a floppy or not. I opted to include, out of respect. This build will not have one can you even buy those new anymore? Hipster market demand is out there. "I only pass my files on floppies, that's soooo vintage! I wish we co...

Yes, this is my problem. Every line of dialogue he writes drips with smugness and too-clever "just so" phrasing. Also, Yahtzee pointed out years ago (and was correct) that almost all of Whedon's characters are to some degree interchangeable. They all speak the same because they're all written the s...

I will say this for Ol' Jossy boy though, he has an amazing eye for female talent*. Must come from all the Feminism.

*and by "talent" I mean titties.

Given how uneven Buffy was, (I'll point out that when given ultimate cosmic control, Whedon created Buffy Season 8, which was, to be kind, crap), I'm unsure that canceling various series early actually hurt him. It saved him from a lot of problems. Whedon really isn't as good a writer as people thi...

Well I think the point is that its a woman's health issue. Should women get to decide whether or not men should get prostrate treatment? Penis pumps? Because in the United States, which is where Joss lives and presumably is referring too, we have this long tradition that everybody (with certain lim...

Speaking of Joss Whedon's "cleverness":

The responses are pure SJW hilarity too. Only a matter of minutes before someone pops up with the old, "Men can have uteruses too (because trannys)" complaint.

This Eucli drama has made me feel jaded at the Pit's supposed dedication to free speech.

Of all the stupid shit I've seen on the forum --- and I've seen enough stupid shit on this forum to fill the Library of Congress --- the repeated white-knighting of an obviously deranged, obnoxious drama whore baffles me the most of all. And this is the second fucking time!

Apparently guests [like the Euclibot](whether posting as Guest or under a guest-nym) can't be put on ignore. Nor, I hear, can those with mod-powers. (I can't speak from experience.)
