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

Ah! I almost forgot:

Forehead, Forehead, Forehead, Ya!

Forehead, Forehead, Forehead, Ya!

Forehead, Forehead, Forehead, Ya!

Freedom of forehead!!!

Yes.

Love you all.

...

Well, mostly.

For the moment, I am going to watch Richard Burton in The Spy Who Came In From The Cold.

...

Dig it.

Goodnochses.

...

And have I said it before? I love you all.

Mostly.

"This has been a Good Day at the Pit."

One of the best.

FT, you fucked up my Hat Trick.

Dick!

Lastly, having been a Pit person from before there was a Pit, and having been, I think the 4th or 5th responder to ERV's initial "Bad Form Rebecca Watson" post, I gotta say, you are all really pretty fucking wonderful folks. Seriously, how many places on the Internet actually provide, offer, and dem...

Damion / D4m10n / whateverthefuck it is ... I have been very harsh to you in the past, and critical, and perhaps hurtful. But I would like to say that your participation in the Sargon YouTube thingy, and your words, and perspective, have knocked me for a loop. We all learn (those of us open to lear...

Many, many hearty congrats to Brive for s/h/it's elevation to Village Idiot.

And, regardless of what s/h/it says, it is not BrEEve, it is BrEYEve, 'cause that's always how I sounded it out in my wee head. So, you know, like, there. :shifty:

BTW, Based Zebra is now a full admin, and can keep the Pit going in case anything bad happens to me. While I wholly and completely support Skep's promotion, your words frighten me. HAHAHA, but then me with my personal collapse shouldn't hold such views ... or something like that. Congrats Skep, you...

Well, deLurch, I am impressed.

I think that looks pretty darn good.

...

Mind you, I am a loser fuck up totally, so my words and support might very well mean less than nothing.

As they say: YMMV.

Skep said:

Ra does speak, in 2nd of the 4 parts of the panel speechifying.

Ah, sorry. My bad. I only watched the first part that was linked in the various posts (and I cannot endure any more).

In response to Mr Andrew: Judgy Bitch is pretty stupid, actually. We have 68K active military personnel.... The Canadian Military has never really been about defending the country; it has almost always been about participating in various military engagements around the world in support of our variou...

Phil said: I like the movie, but somehow I hate the actor. It's just one of those things. I can relate to that, though not with Guy Pierce. I like him, though I also think your description of him as a failed porn actor is great. One of the actors I just cannot stomach, and there is no rational reas...

re. Watson/Dawkins video. The best way to watch these kinds of videos is with the sound off and, if you're lucky, without knowing the topic beforehand. That changes everyone's posture. A lot. However, most of us are unlucky enough to know too much about Watson to watch anything she does out without ...

Com said:

I don't see what everyone else is seeing. Dawkins doesn't seem upset or annoyed just mildly uninterested.

Yes, quite right. Lot's of seeing-what-one-wants-to-see with the Dawkins' squirming bit. He's not squirming at all, except perhaps to simply readjust for physical comfort.

"... my circumstances not be used as some sort of Pit accomplishment thingy."

Because my circumstances are not relevant to the Pit's putative purpose.

Things are still not good for me (no work on the horizon despite daily searches and several applications -- I remain in one of the least employable demographics), so no, although I am endlessly grateful to the help and support provided by several Pit folk, I would very much rather that my circumstan...

"Will I be able to get into friendly debates here without being called a racist/sexist/homophobe/MRA when we disagree?" Mostly, yes, but not always always. However, there is an almost certain guarantee that even if the whole body of members disagrees with you, unless you utter blatant threats, doxx ...

Sunder said:

Ahermit's being a dumbass over at Mick's.

Yes, s/h/it is, but seriously, when is A Hermit ever not a total and wholly dishonest dumbass?

He's in the same school as latsot, Oolon, Morales, and a few of other Orwellian nightmares from the Inner Party whose names I forget.

Skep, I think I understand your personal pros and cons, well, at least some of them. Nonetheless, I think you would a wonderful addition. You're level headed, intelligent, non-bombastic, sensible, honest, and accurate.

Tigzy said, to zenlike (after potato head shoop):

You seem to have a chip on your shoulder.

Good pun, Tigz, but in the UK, do they say: "You seem to have a crisp on your shoulder"?

I don't have the technology to do it. And I'm shy. But I certainly hope it works out. There are so many endless lies told about the Pit, especially from the various FTB blog hosts and commentariat, that setting the record at least somewhat straight (I know, I know, cishet shitlord ableist!) would be...

Tigz said: Hey, anyone here who stumbled across the poster called 'zenlike' at Hemant's Dawkins threads - did you get the impression that this was Nerd of Redhead-wthout-the-usual-buzzwords too? Nah. zenlike's been around for a while now. I've come across s/h/it on a few different blogs and whatnot....

Also, Justi actually friendly-upped to, of all people, Zvan, and tried to actually ally with her. But, so far as I recall, she was having none of it. He went ballistic batshit lunatic crazy over the concept of gently, surreptitiously depositing so much as a wee piece of paper into PZ's shirt pocket ...

Sunder said: Sorry for the confusion. I just thought the guy was moderately well known in the Pit considering his tweets get linked here sometimes. Thanks for the clarification. I'd never heard of either, so I'm glad you set me straight. Oh, wait. "Straight" ... am I now some kind of cishet ableist ...

Sunder said: David's killing it over there still. Who is this David you keep speaking of? There is no one named David in the comments. Furthermore, if there is someone who is behind a Nym but whose real name is David, then aren't you skating perilously close to some variation on doxxing? In which c...

Gender culture traitor!

Yay Gumbers!

HAHAHA.

What's Sargon doing now?

...

Now?

Yes, indeed, I am a git. I gittishly realized that after the fact and rather late, git that I am.

Also, because adamcolley says he's not a Pit person, that, apparently, means he is a Pit perspon.

Well golly, whodathought?

Wait, no I wasn't.

HAHAHA.

Whoops: :nin:

And poor old deluded Oggie thinks we think that PZ got ERV kicked off NatGeo (http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2016/01/28/its-just-the-total-dawkins-meltdown-now/#comment-996904), even though it has been explained umpteen times that it was Laden and Zvan who tried to do so, but were cut off at...

Meanwhile, over in Peezville.... Someone named adamcolley said (http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2016/01/28/its-just-the-total-dawkins-meltdown-now/#comments): And no, I’m not a slymepitter, I did briefly look over there after discovering you were trying to bully erv Abbie out of a platform wh...

Caine , the ever thoughtful many-nymed First Nations wannabe, said (http://freethoughtblogs.com/pharyngula/2016/01/27/disgraceful-exploitation/#comment-996466): The fact that this woman is being exploited and blatantly used by a group of nasty assholes does not give anyone license to dismiss this p...

Well, hello Louise Mensch, and thank you for your excellent "The Tim Hunt Debacle" article.

Deepak shetty shows up at Nugent's and says (first quoting Nugent): PZ Myers says that “we (now) have an atheism where it is acceptable to rail against feminism, because feminists should be raped and killed.” Have you misread the post ? Myers is effectively quoting Amy Roth who said One day I was a ...

On Ashley's most recent blog post (http://freethoughtblogs.com/ashleymiller/2016/01/22/reason-rally-2016-interview-with-lyz-liddell/), a commentor named Michael Bolton asks (http://freethoughtblogs.com/ashleymiller/2016/01/22/reason-rally-2016-interview-with-lyz-liddell/#comment-496632): Hello, Quic...

This was posted on PZ Limbaugh's latest rage rant: Actually, this site has long promoted a very insular, biased and rigid view of of what atheism is and how atheists should behave. PZ has serious problems with Dawkins, Harris, Hitchens, Hemant Mehta, and practically anyone with equal or greater visi...

It beggars belief that FTB baboons can claim non-radical feminist atheists support rape when there's incontrovertible proof that they, FTB, not only support child rapists but are actually prepared to put their children in their hands.

FTFY.

Speaking of fat acceptance/nonacceptance, and so on, I'm fat, but not mountainous, maybe 40-50 overweight. Anyway, at the local Mark's Work Warehouse I've found lots of 5x-long teeshirts which make great sleep/night shirts. As I say, I am overweight, yes indeed, but not that massively, but overlarge...

Gumby said:

Meh. [Blazing Saddles] Completely overrated and mediocre movie. And with the exception of Young Frankenstein, the rest of Mel Brooks' movies are overrated as well.

I agree. For whatever that's worth.

paddybrown, our own personal historical Jesus!

Yay!

Anyone here see The Man who fell to Earth?

Yes. I like it a lot, especially the full length version. But it's not to everyone's taste.

How come, Brive?

Wheee! Congrats and kudos to Brive, Jan, et al., for the Carrier exposé.

Very well done. :clap:

comhcinc, I assume you mean plaque, but a plague might do just as well.

Indeed, Carrier's intentional and wholly outrageous demonization of TF0ot (or however it's spelt) is funny, but very sad. It is hard to imagine an academic or intellectual of any type actually spewing forth such juvenile, hysterical, and ludicrous deminisation and expect to be taken seriously at all...

Ya, I'm with comhcinc on this one. Confirmation, one way or other, needs to be gotten from the publisher to clarify, once and for all, what's what with this publishing yabber.

Tigz said: And fat arse Ed came to that conclusion how? By being denied food. To me, that is just some funny shite. Perhaps better late then never to an awareness of the table of actual privilege and the concomitant awareness of its real-world cost? Dave , I don't really disagree with what you're s...

Dave and Tigz , I think you are unfairly, in understandably, misrepresenting Two-cows's article. Yes he's whiney about the colonoscopy -- I've had two, and while unpleasent, they aren't the end of the world, and one does not have to do the vile liquid drink; there are other ways of cleaning out -- ...

Well, I just wanted to say Merry Christmas to all Pit folk.

And a special thanks to, you know who you are, a group of extra special Pit folk without whose help I simply would not be here to celebrate this Christmas.

Cheers, good tidings, and thanks to all.

I left the following on Miri's blog. She usually lets my posts stand, even the strongly argumentative ones. But I guess I crossed the heretical line here somehow, as it is now just a dusty memory hiding in some dusty hole somehwere: I thought I'd respond to your 5 arguments here, because reasons. Mi...

I think it would be grand if our --> Pit Master Artists <-- got together and created a statuette and/or an official Cunty certificate that could then be broadcast broadly, as well as being sent, in physical form if possible, to the winners.

I was too stupid to PM a candidate 'cause there were so many to choose from I just couldn't decide.
