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

I'm ethnic Chinese, too, and I used to feel that way about my ethnicity. I've since gone trans* otherkin and risen above that. I know that - I can't remember whether you explicitly mentioned that, or it is obvious enough from your posts. I've been following the Pit almost everyday since its incepti...

Oi, less racism please. Don't confuse a) poor governance and lack of regulations in a country whose traditions and values were cast off in a revolutionary zeal after the war was long over and the dictator-in-chief was still itching for a fight with b) an inhuman nature in a hugely diverse collectio...

The Ashley Miller/Paramore/HealthyAddict claim had one major fact that convinced me that her claim of TAM saying that sexual harassment has never been reported at TAM, was unfounded... Hi SN, I think you mixed up Ashley Miller and Ashley Paramore. They are different persons. I just wanted to point ...

@Jan Steen,

Can I suggest that you use rectangular speech bubble, and angular (and bold?) font for NerdofRedHead, to give it more robotic feel?

Iâ€™m not sure about condition number 28b on Svans list of preconditions for peace talks. :think: Condition 28b You must unconditionally sign a written confession of all your sins against women. Don't worry if it's blank, we'll fill it in later. The signing ceremony will take place in the same elev...

@Renee I have been 'stalking' you on Twitter. I noticed that lately you have been complaining about some back pain. There is a possibility that the pain has neuro-muscular origin, due to poor ergonomics, old injury, etc. If you have a few bucks to spare, I suggest you get the "The Trigger Point Ther...

Yeah skeptickle, oooo loom at you, swanny isnt stupid enough not to invalidate your response as the whining of an elitist. What just because its your fucking day job doesnt mean you know what the fuck youre talking about. Steffy has been blogging about this shit for years fuckwit. No back the fuck ...

I remember seeing a cartoon, I think it was in Mad magazine, showing an Archie Bunker type watching a baseball game. A black player is up at bat. In the first panel the guy says something like "Watch this, N*****s always choke". When the player hits a home run, he says "Well, that's what you get co...

Dear Greg Laden... [img]snip[/img] I just want to express my gratitude for your satire, which has brought me plenty of lulz. I find the Greg-Zvan spoof movie poster especially hilarious. Can't stop chuckling every time Roger Ebert's "Trigger warning!" blurb comes to mind. Trigger warning indeed! Ke...

To Watson, these studies revealed less about the sex-drives of women and more about the gullibility of men : â€œA beautiful stranger approaches you on the street and asks you for sex and you donâ€™t think itâ€™s a scam?!?â€ (my bold) Which begs the question: "Why are men more susceptible than wome...

Without it you are dragged into some elses fetish (it was clear from her comments that shocking people - for example, by showing them a rather painful looking sewn up toe stump, and then letting them guess whether it was an accident or not - was part of the thrill.) I hope that she at least had the...

Unless it's as set-up where the parties agreed beforehand and they are both attention whoring, having an audience for something so personal between two people is something like extortion where you're daring the person you propose to to humiliate you in public. My sentiment exactly, but you put it m...

Her name's Cristina something, and chopping off her toe like that, with nary an explanation even, makes her maybe the most disturbed one of them all. Aren't there ANY of them who are not emotional disaster areas? That behaviour strongly suggests that she suffers from a neurological disorder called ...

The extra funny aspect is that despite all their supposedly advanced social awareness and gender sensibilities, they're making the unwarranted assumption that Skep tickle is male. :naughty: :lol: [victim-blaming] It is your fault for using a pseudonym that is suggestive of a certain dangling male o...

Perhaps molester is too strong a word without evidence of something further. At the same time you don't need to physically touch a child to have contributed to abuse - just look at all the people who have been found to have downloaded child porn. I agree, but in this case we don't have any evidence...

I know that Greta Christina has defended pedophelia in the past (at least forms of pedophelic pornography that don't involve actual child abuse - for example photoshopping pictures of children or animated child characters that are shown having sex with adults. Perhaps this is their new policy: Athe...

Please ensure that the words "Blue Hair Alert" are used when posting material of this nature in future. "BHA" is an acceptable abbreviation. That is all. Can't agree more with this; and, how about using more specific and..ugh..evocative warning: "Turquoise Hair Alert"? Speaking of turquoise, was it...

Ah, but you've missed the reformed reformed epistemology lessons people try to give *me* - if one believes that something is a threat, it is a threat/their belief is justified and true. Intresting reasoning to come from atheists, huh? ...and if you disagree with a person's judgment, you are "substi...

A BIG THANK YOU to James Onan for that post. I *know* that took a lot of time to pull together. I really appreciate it :) ... Onan ... *snickers* Frankly, I dont care about DJ/Jean/anyones 'approval'. The fact is, The Pit Crew has been there for people who needed it. If a few us us occasionally usi...

I am kind of ambivalent towards this issue. On one hand, it actually increases my admiration for Dawkins. It shows that he is very capable of separating idea from its originator and judging it on its own merits - a non-negotiable trait that a rationalist must possess (I admit that I often fail at th...

In my view, the gender ideology known as feminism is in serious need of skeptical analysis. Its currently an area of interest for me, and it's something I'm going to be exploring in a new blog I'm setting up. I contend that feminism is irrational and not based on facts. I believe in equal rights an...

Ah. Poor Rhys. A once promising young skeptic who is now reduced to sucking PZ's cock. Poor lad. Hey, if he is into that (literally), there is nothing wrong with that! No thanks for the disturbing imagery though. Shorter Heintje: "Bitchez ain't shit." ROFLMAO On a more positive note, Skeptical Abys...

Good observations Tigzy! Yes, I hadn't mentioned the "Stop. Please stop.", but I hate that as much as I hate the "privilege" card, or "you don't get it". LOL, you are not alone. And, I was damn pissed and disheartened when I saw Rhys Morgan parroting 'you don't get it' mantra on twitter. An even mo...

Heintje, did you see that recent post of PZ's of a cartoon called a feminist fantasy or something like that? It had a woman being offered sex or a date or something like that (I can't remember), her saying no, and him politely accepting her no and leaving her alone. I saw that and was almost scream...

That theskepticsbandcamp song had me until they said Dawkins was a smart guy getting something wrong and called him a dick. Right from my first reading of the infamous Dear Muslima letter to his comments trying to point out that EG was not a little bad being compared to a big bad, but a ZERO bad be...

Hi Notung, glad to see you posting here again. Thank you very much for indefatiguably confronting misinformation spread anywhere by the baboons, their sycophants, and/or opportunistic outsiders whose agenda is to discredit the non-believers community.

Dr Hall's t-shirt is a direct attack on Ofeelya. Dr Hall is DJ's brainwashed hostage. DJ is so angry that Ofeelya has ruined TAM for ever* , that he is conducting a vendetta against her. IMO, Dr. Hall's action can be interpreted charitably (by non-residents of Baboonistan) as a demonstration of sup...

Can't believe Ashley's comments. I just posted the other fucking day here about people beleiving in the magic of harrassment policies. What the FUCK, I can't believe this is Actually A Fucking Thing. Clearly her thinking (and her fellow nutjobs') goes like this: "Without anti-harassment policy from...

Screen-cap her original comment before it goes into memory hole.

Now, don't be too harsh on her, John. Given the amount she writes daily, it is easy for her to forget what she has written weeks ago. Plus her memory isn't as good as it was in 1912. ;)

If they can be spunned to further their agenda, feed their victimology narrative, and/or bring in income from speakers or ads money, you betcha.

This is so mean! Yet, I can't stop laughing! I kinda feel bad for Laden, but because he has revealed himself to be such a vile scumbag since, he totally deserves it now. Thanks for retrieving them from the old slimepit, CT! The pics you added are perfect! (No thanks for the gratuitous pic of filthy ...

And they are equally irritating and unnecessary.

Usually I get very annoyed at false equivalence. However, this post made me LOL.

Would love to go, but I am on the wrong side of Pacific Ocean, and I have neither the time nor the money. This year's TAM will be great for reason CommanderTuvok mentioned. And, also, Dr. Carol Tavris will be speaking again! In case anyone here still doesn't know how awesome she is, please watch the...

...Adults Only More like NSFL (Not Safe For Life, to use reddit's lingo). After witnessing his pathetic attempts to insinuate himself into the forefront of skeptic/atheist movement since the elevator nontroversy, I find the sight of his face deeply nauseating (it doesn't help that he gives off cree...

My belated "thank you", Lsuoma!

Had it not for John's post, I would have forgotten about it entirely. I blame the internet for my nasty new habit of taking things for granted.

Hi John, Would rather have the voters remain anonymous? For the sake of disclosure, I voted #2. I don't post much myself, and even when I do, I don't use BAD WERDZ much. However, I'd hate to see frequent commenters, esp. Justicar and JCW, tone down their language here. Many of you have a flair with ...
