Build a bear
The process of shaving your full beard and leaving the trimmings floating in the toilet bowl, at which point you use said toilet bowl to take a crap, thereby coating your feces in the hair which now resembles a stuffed animal that can be presented to your girlfriend or wife.
"Hey honey! I went to build a bear today! Come check it out!"

I don’t post there anymore, so I’ll put my comments here.
When I was a young man, the Left made the argument that locking someone up and throwing away the key was a worse punishment than executing them. I bought it. Unfortunately, that’s not what happened. The Left lied:

I now support the Death Penalty. Of course, Jerry has his idea that no one has control of what they do. Very nice in a philosophy class, not very pragmatic.

Strangely enough, it was an ex who got me into them. I've got damned near every note they ever recorded and even have a few highly collectable original vinyl singles and EP's. Obviously, it goes without saying that they're very much an acquired taste although a few of their radio-friendly songs are somewhat easy-listening.Service Dog wrote: ↑Bauhaus!

I don't get the hard determinism argument. If all choice is illusion then our choice about whether we support capital punishment or not is also illusory so we shouldn't blame anyone for having the wrong views.Matt Cavanaugh wrote: ↑ Welp, the capital punishment debate at WEIT is going as expected -- some are engaging cordially and intelligently, while the usual SJW subjects are being complete, dishonest, tendentious, emotionally-driven assholes.
I don't get it either. What's the point of working for change if everything is determined? If I give up and sit at home rather than go out and try to make things better then that's what I was going to do anyway there is no basis for criticizing me. Why try to persuade anyone of anything. etc. It seems like Jerry's approach is "Smart people like me are determinists. Therefore if you believe in free will you must not be smart."Fegg wrote: ↑I don't get the hard determinism argument.

(I used to worry about determinism and free will. Then I decided that if my choice to believe in free will was non illusory then it would be the correct choice, and if my choice was illusory then I had no choice but to believe in free will.)
When we had capital punishment in Canada, we hanged about 12 people a year on average, and kept hardly anyone in prison for more than 10 years. Now we have no capital punishment, but much longer sentences - so around 50 people a year now die in federal custody.

The whole determinist thing makes my head hurt, so I ignore it.
https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/federal- ... cade-lapseDaniel Lewis Lee, a member of a white supremacist group, murdered a family of three, including an eight-year-old girl. After robbing and shooting the victims with a stun gun, Lee covered their heads with plastic bags, sealed the bags with duct tape, weighed down each victim with rocks, and threw the family of three into the Illinois bayou.
Lezmond Mitchell stabbed to death a 63-year-old grandmother and forced her nine-year-old granddaughter to sit beside her lifeless body for a 30 to 40-mile drive. Mitchell then slit the girl’s throat twice, crushed her head with 20-pound rocks, and severed and buried both victims’ heads and hands.
Wesley Ira Purkey violently raped and murdered a 16-year-old girl, and then dismembered, burned, and dumped the young girl’s body in a septic pond. He also was convicted in state court for using a claw hammer to bludgeon to death an 80-year-old woman who suffered from polio and walked with a cane.
Alfred Bourgeois physically and emotionally tortured, sexually molested, and then beat to death his two-and-a-half-year-old daughter.
Dustin Lee Honken shot and killed five people—two men who planned to testify against him and a single, working mother and her ten-year-old and six-year-old daughters.
https://www.myplainview.com/news/articl ... 799525.phpAn 11-hour autopsy determined the cause of death was severe head trauma. The autopsy also found more than 300 injury marks, including whip marks, healed scars, nonspecific and patterned contusions, abrasions or excoriations, healing ulcerations, lacerations and two bite marks on her body.
Bourgeois’ older daughter testified … that Bourgeois struck the child’s head repeatedly against the front glass window of his tractor truck….
… a number of other witnesses testified about the “hellish existence and horrific cruelty” the 2-year-old endured at the hands of her biological father over the course of approximately sic weeks before her death…
“He had systematically dehumanized her, degraded her, beat her, and ultimately killed her…”
https://ondeathrowusa.blogspot.com/2017 ... h-row.htmlIn the punishment phase of the trial, eight people, mostly relatives of Bourgeois, testified that they had either been assaulted or threatened by him in recent years.
His wife, Robin, and her daughter told of extensive abuse the 2-year-old endured. Robin Bourgeois said her husband spanked the child so hard the belt broke. She said the child also was beaten with an electrical cord.
The jury also heard that Bourgeois taped the child's mouth to muffle her screams and made her drink his urine from a bottle.

At least in Germany they are afraid they might feel a draft:
I had the opportunity to ask a German about this. She's married to an American and has lived in the US so she can see things from both perspectives. She said it's because Germans are concerned about getting a draft on the back of one's neck, or, da da da (cue the dramatic music), on one's kidneys (no joke, they have these wraps you can wear during the winter to avoid getting your kidneys cold). Some Germans believe that such a draft could make one sick and therefore people are extremely distrustful of air conditioning. Her mother always yelled at her never to sit on rocks or anything cold because she'd get a kidney infection. Kind of strange, eh?
Put in, go home? Guess she's looking for a one-night stand.
This I can attest to. The Germans fear drafts. Especially on the kidneys. In fact, every ailment imaginable either afflicts or emanates from the kidneys. For the French, it's the liver.Driftless wrote: ↑ At least in Germany they are afraid they might feel a draft:

Coyne comes across as lighthearted and congenial in his public speaking appearances, yet cranky and intolerant in his moderation policies. He dropped off of my regular reading list a while ago because of his high-handed attitude toward differing political opinions. The commenters are prone to engaging in virtue signalling competitions to see who can divine the most malicious intent in Trump's actions. Pelmon is not far wrong in his assessment of some of them, although I think he should have known he was outside the bounds of what Coyne would tolerate.mordacious1 wrote: ↑Thu Jul 25, 2019 5:32 pmSomeone named pelmon in that WEIT thread was mildly (imo) disagreeing with the general thrust of the thread and got banned for insulting the regulars:

Niiiice, PeeZee. The trouble is, it seems a majority of the people with the guns and the training seem to sympathize more with the right and center than with the far left. So hopefully it won't come to that but if it does, the effete liberals jacking it over the prospect of political violence might have to do some soul searching for any vestigial traces of the attributes of toxic masculinity like aggression and emotional stoicism.I’m going to have to recommend some counterprogramming, a guilty pleasure: Afterwar, by Lilith Saintcrow. It’s a rough, brutal, post-apocalyptic war story, so not to everyone’s taste, but the twist is that it takes place in a future America, after an all-too-plausible take-over of a large chunk of the country by fundamentalist Christian fanatics who run concentration camps and death camps and enslave or kill anyone of a different ethnicity than white Anglo-Saxon. The premise is very Handmaid’s Tale-ish.
This story starts up, though, with the wars to crush the evil neo-Nazis, and the aftermath as the bad guys are hunted down and their regime demolished. Everyone suffers, and it’s not a happy story either, but at least the right-wing fanatics suffer more.
It’s all about people fighting back, so it’s a wish-fulfillment fantasy for those of us watching the current ascendancy of scumbags

I enjoy his blog (see below) so don't want to diss him too much here. I suspect he at least skims here. (I post under the same nym.) He's a little persnickety, but I can generally tolerate it. Like his insistence that it isn't a blog. It is a blog. Like that he conflates visiting a blog with entering a person's domicile. It isn't. I once opined that his taste in meat was raw. He claimed that I "food shamed" him, and not in a humorous way.ThreeFlangedJavis wrote: ↑Coyne comes across as lighthearted and congenial in his public speaking appearances, yet cranky and intolerant in his moderation policies.

First of all, THT is fiction, and pretty hyperbolic and ridiculous fiction too. Try describing THT to an outsider, a "normie", and see what their reaction is. The vast majority of normal people find the demonetization of men and white people weird and abnormal. Normal people consider male and white conspiracy to oppress and dominate a fringe and borderline belief.Cnutella wrote: ↑ PZ's posts on Pharyngula continue to document his collapse from a minor star in the atheist constellation into a white dwarf consisting mostly of frustrated ambition and ill-disguised bitterness, plus posts about spiders (his new lab enthusiasm and apparent spirit animal). Most of his posts have hardly been worth documenting.
But every so often, you get a sense of just how angry he really is under his affected shell of world-weary detachment, sorrow at how his good intentions were misconstrued, and Minnesotan passive aggressiveness.
Like today's post, where he explains why he isn't watching The Handmaid's Tale.l, because it is depressing torture porn for feminists.
