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

Why have we thus far not detected any sign of other intelligences out there in the void? Well the reasons are many, however, one I saw put forward was that perhaps the further along an intelligence gets, the more prevalent debilitating stupidity becomes until it reaches a critical mass and everythin...

Did you hear?... Richard Carrier is auctioning off his 2007 Skepchicks Calendar, with the pages stuck together. Given what I have encountered of Mr Carrier's public persona, such a suggestion is a patent absurdity. Were Mr Carrier to have procured one of those calendars - solely as a means of lendi...

Oh by the Divines not that mewling twerp again. I'm not finished with you yet, not by a longshot.

Just when I think people could not really get any stupider: honestly accidents should be considered automatically the driver's fault when a pedestrian or cyclist is involved. Automatically.

[If you get Mrs. VAXherd riled about The Injustices She Experiences As A Woman, one of her big gotos is that back when she had to wait at bus stops at night, saying "I have a boyfriend" did not work.

Recently did I exchange the hubbub of urban living for the tranquility of a rural idyll, smells like cow shit on occasion mind.

Adam Lee's best stuff was written years ago using his real name, not that stupid Adam 'Lee' pseudonym.

Call me petty, but I've got to admit that the pitters' rage has made me feel happier about Lindsay's apology. Lee...

A pseudonymous person engages in social behavior that is clearly outside of community standards. Social behaviour outside of community standards are enough to reveal information, information that could have far reaching ramifications, which depending on where the target lives could well lead to emp...

So [Vacula] and Porter were effectively non-entities at the conference, and were reduced to stirring the shit on twitter, which they could have done at home.

PZ Myers 19 May 2013 at 2:20 pm (UTC -5) Link to this comment Vacula spent the entire conference sitting at the very back of the room, against the wall, hunched over his phone pounding out tedious and selective commentary.

This is weird, Carrier's AACON speech on Youtube now has well over 6k in positive votes to zero negative, not a single vote of dissent. It looks as though all the negative (5500+ when last I saw it) votes were added to the existing positive (719) tally so it now appears as though his speech was a ro...

So does that get the English in Ireland off the hook? You know it may very well do, I guess we'll just have to close it all up, hand it back and apologise for the mess.

The problem with not attending events with multiple speakers is that the organisers are left guessing which speaker has caused the downturn an bookings.

Okay. What the fuck does that mean? I'd have thought it fairly self-evident but if you are encountering difficulties I would suggest that a good dictionary will likely assist you.

That's a tough one. The 3 released albums all have quite a diferent vibe to them. The first one (Of Wars in Osyrhia) is female vocals with a heavy symphonic element.
