Honestly, when talking about Ron Lindsay's speech he sounded all the world line Rush Limbaugh complaining about communists, except he switched it for misogynists or MRAs.
He actually described Lindsays talk as "an MRA booster speech"!

Myers is easy. He is a intellectual coward. He is also a physical coward, so as in the case of Felix Baumgartner and veterans in general he takes things that actually require courage and disparages it.

I prefer to define him as an intellectual fraud, and a psychological coward.

I decided to give ecigs a try, so I bought a cheap disposable one today just to see if they might be worthwhile. It seems to deliver a good level of nicotine but on exhalation it gives a taste not unlike that of low-grade bathtub meth and antifreeze. Do the higher priced models taste better or is the flavor an unavoidable result of vaporizing propylene glycol?

Yup. I can grow a pretty decent beard/moustache all around, but the "fu manchu" or "frank zappa" area from the corners of the mouth to the beginning of the goatee is always the thinnest area on pretty much everyone. If you want the goatee look, use an electric trimmer with a height adjuster and let the hair grow longer in that area, and keep it combed down. Also, it usually but not always fills in a bit with age.

Yes, you will have better results if you quit being a cheap, whiny little fucker, kill your piggy bank and fork over the cash for the Blu Cig starter kit.

Posting gore pics like goatse and the testicle thing: childish and tiresome. You're going to make some people feel a bit violated, while everyone else is left with "meh, it's not the ync.com".

I'd recommend either an eGo battery - or, if you're a rich bastard, a variable voltage model, such as the Provari. For the tank, options include the Vivi Nova or Kangor Protank. There's really a fuckton of options, though. Here's some info: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ ... ation.html

Be careful though, because I've noticed that getting into e-cigs has turned me into a bit of a hobbyist, which is costing me a little money (my vivi nova tank has been...slightly modified). Also, if you don't like the propylene glycol, they also have kinds that use vegetable glycerin, which is what I use (you can also mix them, which many people do).

I figure that that is probably a dig at, some mockery – misplaced and wide of the mark as they apparently don't understand analogies – of Justin’s somewhat inadvertent analogy between FfTB/Skepchick/Atheism+ feminist/sjw dogma and Islam. Which is, I think, actually quite a good one – somewhat along the same line as Paula Kirby’s photoshop last August.

Yes I do indeed look like Hassan Nasrallah so I guess I am doxing myself. It should also come as no surprise that in the past Egyptians and Iranians have just come up to me and start talking in Arabic or Persian. When I was clean shaven I have also had Kashmiri Indians approach (they assume I am a Dardic).

I managed to listen to the entire FTB hangout. To sum it up, that evil MRA dude Ron Lindsay made the entire WiS conference all about himself by forcing all the bloggers to write about how offensive his speech was instead of allowing them to hardly even mention all the women speakers.
Near the end of the hangout Myers tells a rape joke.
I expect his commenters will call him out on it any time now.

I don't know. but I do know that putting together a muiltple-layer shop like that takes time and patience. Maybe Becky was done near the end of the project and Paula simply did more of a rush job with her. And faces can be an absolute bitch to work with. It's hard to stick a face or head in and make it come out looking perfectly seamless.

Regardless, it's a great example of a good concept executed well. The only people who didn't understand it were the baboons :lol:

Considering Kirby worked in the "restored" Ecce Homo, I think the crudeness of it was part of the humor against people who artlessly injected themselves into the sainted community. If I think of it being done with the faces properly scaled and feathered, it's not nearly as funny as the "plastered on" look.

That's just me playing art critic, though.

With a racist hat even. None of those images bother me in the slightest. But then I used to eat my lunch while sitting at the dissecting table.

One other thing ... is anyone here seriously disturbed at seeing Greta naked? It is not as if it is a private image, and though she is not to my taste, what possible objection could there be?

Have a shot each time Opheliar tries to get herself onto the main image by grunting, muttering and saying "yes, I know, I saw that, yes" when one of the men makes a useful point about atheism or feminism. The whole thing will speed by.

I'm unsure as to why people say I made an analogy in my post. I didn't (or didn't intend to). The jist of the post is this: How can one be consistent in supporting "Draw Mohammad Day" yet rebuke satire of feminists? We know that Draw Mohammad Day/cartoons of Mohammad may lead to violence and, at the very least, will lead to someone claiming offense. Satire of feminists...well, what is the complaint? If it is 'hurt feelings' then you can't support drawing Mohammad knowing that hurt feelings (and even violence) will be the result of Mohammad cartoons.

Well great, you've worked in a dissecting lab. You've seen nasty shit and don't feel anything other than curiosity in images of an extra-scrotal testicle or a goatse. Many people will feel violated and have lasting damage from scrolling down a page and seeing these. I hope this isn't the kind of place where posting gore images and videos is seen as amusing or effective.

If you want to show yor disdain for social conventions, and demonstrate your belief that just because you have seen broken bodies, so everyone else should be fine with them, go and post your stuff on nickelodeon.com. Why not, right? Because you have eaten your lunch at a dissection table, so fuck those kiddies and their sensibilities.

The Public Radio Talent Quest

In May 2007, Watson entered The Public Radio Talent Quest, a contest aimed to find new public radio hosts.[10] The contest claims to have received more than 1,400 entries.[11] Watson's entries won the popular vote in every round,[12] and she was declared one of three winners who each would receive $10,000 to produce a public radio pilot.[13]

Watson's pilot, Curiosity, Aroused,[14] was an hour-long program focused on science and skepticism.[13] It featured interviews with Richard Saunders of Australian Skeptics and Mystery Investigators, and Richard Wiseman, author of Quirkology and Professor of the Public Understanding of Psychology at the University of Hertfordshire. She also investigated claims of poisonous amounts of lead in lipstick, went on a ghost tour in Boston and visited a Psychic Fair.

Her show was the only one among the three winners not to receive funding by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting for being turned into a one-year show.
That's cause it sucked. I listened to the entire thing. It sounded like an 11 year old wrote the script and she is just annoying to listen to no matter what she is saying. If she came to my door and announced I'd won the publishers clearing house sweepstakes I'd still tell her to shut the fuck up cause she is annoying me. ...

Well, since most prople write there own Wikipedia pages (or so I'm told), I'm surprised the sentence didnt end, "...for being turned into a one-year show.BECAUSE OF THE PATRIARCHY!"
she didn't win because it was a poll to get through to each round and she got it pharyngulated it every time. blagging overseas votes for a USA competition? "how to cheat your way to a radio show competition final" isn't how i would say it but im not saying it am i?

I figure that that is probably a dig at, some mockery – misplaced and wide of the mark as they apparently don't understand analogies – of Justin’s somewhat inadvertent analogy between FfTB/Skepchick/Atheism+ feminist/sjw dogma and Islam. Which is, I think, actually quite a good one – somewhat along the same line as Paula Kirby’s photoshop last August.
I'm unsure as to why people say I made an analogy in my post. I didn't (or didn't intend to). The jist of the post is this: How can one be consistent in supporting "Draw Mohammad Day" yet rebuke satire of feminists? We know that Draw Mohammad Day/cartoons of Mohammad may lead to violence and, at the very least, will lead to someone claiming offense. Satire of feminists...well, what is the complaint? If it is 'hurt feelings' then you can't support drawing Mohammad knowing that hurt feelings (and even violence) will be the result of Mohammad cartoons.
As I indicated in some detail in a comment on your blog post, I think that the implicit analogy is:
Islamic dogma is to Draw-Mohammad-Day as Feminist dogma is to “draw its modern-day ‘prophets’ in ridiculous poses”.
Which is, I think, what undergirds your quite credible argument that they are being hypocritical in supporting the former while having an attack of the vapours over the suggestion that their dogmas are fair-game for being similarly targeted with satire. That is, that that particular sauce is fine for the Islamic gander, but they’ll be damned if anyone tries to use it to garnish the feminist goose.

While they might reasonably object by asserting that their “philosophies” are dogma-free, that hasn’t been the response of most of them which seems to consist mostly of faux-outrage and umbrage. Which tends to prove the point: if they had a credible refutation to the charge then one would think that they would be only to happy to trot it out for all to see; that they don't do so speaks volumes ....

Look, sugar-tits. It happens. It's not a trend. It's not a harbinger of things to come. It doesn't mean you have to be buried outside the city walls when you die of acute butt-hurt.

Sometimes people, to make a point or, in my case, to one-up someone just for the mean-spirited juvenile hell of it, will post stuff that pushes the envelope just a little bit. You won't like it. It will make you feel all icky inside. It may make you beat off to it and then, as a sort of obvious reaction-formation, get on here and complain about it a lot.

But let me assure you. You will go to sleep tonight and tomorrow, when you wake up the sun will be shining, the birds singing and it will all be like a bad dream. Then the people you work with on the farm will come into the room and you'll tell them they were in your dream spreading their ass cheeks and it's good to be home.

Then you will log back in and keep scrolling until you find the stuff that pissed you off in the first place and a signal will go out through the either and, without you even knowing it, the Vatican will fast track you for canonization because you are such a fucking martyr.

Oh my goodness. The DRAMA!

Mykeru wrote:Yes, you will have better results if you quit being a cheap, whiny little fucker, kill your piggy bank and fork over the cash for the Blu Cig starter kit.
I'd recommend either an eGo battery - or, if you're a rich bastard, a variable voltage model, such as the Provari. For the tank, options include the Vivi Nova or Kangor Protank. There's really a fuckton of options, though. Here's some info: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/ ... ation.html

Be careful though, because I've noticed that getting into e-cigs has turned me into a bit of a hobbyist, which is costing me a little money (my vivi nova tank has been...slightly modified). Also, if you don't like the propylene glycol, they also have kinds that use vegetable glycerin, which is what I use (you can also mix them, which many people do).
Thanks for the links on these! I have a blu-100 and have been wanting to branch out but keep using the blu battery/charger box. It would be nice to find other flavors that use the same cartridges, even better if I can refill them. E-cigs are alright for me, I think I might be craving one of the other however-many chemicals within cigs though. Hopefully different cartridges will have better effects than the blu cartridges.

X situation is *like* Y situation...
Being against situation X is *like* being against situation Y
Being agianst Draw Mohammad Day is *like* being against the satire of feminists.

I get your point. But you definitely used an analogy. I know you hate the dictionary and all, like a good little skeptic ... but this is one of those 'I need a dictionary' situations.

Still love ya, though. Good job with Fincke. Worth listening too!

Yeah, taking the time to write a novella which uses some nice humor and imagery to stand in place of an argument is your thing, that's fine (though in this case I don't think you took enough time planning character development and plot cohesiveness. Please take that onboard as constructive criticism.).

But this isn't the same thing as posting Meyers's head onto the body of a naked man with a knife poking from his ass cheeks (as I have done). Or posting a gif of a dog humping a cow (which was excellent satire).

This is about posting goatse and posting an image of a testicle hanging from a cut in the scrotum. These are images which go beyond nakedness, and into bodily internality (behold my social science-type creation of words and WEEP!). Goatse is something which many people would be quite upset to find when scrolling down some a message board. And that 'upset' is nothing like Opheliar's 'upset' at seeing her head shopped onto a lizard's body, or whatever.

Yes, we may point out that an anus is just one end of the human hosepipe, so what is the difference between posting goatse and photos of bad dentistry. But then that's a bit like, as the point I was trying to make in my last comment, saying there is no difference between showing 11-year olds in sex-ed class a video of a woman breastfeeding her baby and showing them "Anal Virgins II".

Anyway, I think the summary would be this: offensiveness - sexual, anatomical, linguistic - is a spectrum. I've declared my position on the first two here (as for the third, I have no limits), and that is all I can or want to do. It's up to the other Pitizens to decide where they stand and whether it's important enough to them to make comment on it either way.

Spoiler tags (if the security issues have been fixed) could benefit those in need of them methinks.

since this is an adult website, nickelodeon.com, and a sex education class for 11 year olds is hyperbole, dahling.

as far as I'm concerned, the images are meh - the image of a person vomiting makes me a bit nauseous, but I don't ask anyone to refrain from posting it, I just scroll by. The naked image of ReGreta's superimposed onto Mykeru's face made me cringe a lot more than the goatse and the testicle.

the point is, different things bother different people.

so you looked like this when you were young?

a more attractive pair of spectacles, and getting rid of the turban would make all the difference for Hassan Nasrallah, but who am I to tell someone else what to do

Sigh. I also don't like that crap at all. I get that the whole idea to always subvert whatever vibe is building up, and that's all fine and dandy with me. People start holding hands and a rainbow is showing up in the header, people go into an argument over self defense with knives. Which is then subverted with Schlager music. People are too harsh, someone drops some love. That's what I love about the place. People who spend time and make photoshops, often of very good quality (still Sturgeon's Law applies like everywhere). The creative energy would never be that high without the constant juxtaposition.

But can we please draw a line somewhere. Do I run risk of seeing beheaded people, or some workplace accident where someone fell into a McNugget chicken shredder with his face? And then why did we complain about some previous images and seemed to agree that they are over the top? Just because they weren't posted by a regular? Seriously folks. You would spot that hypocrisy when it happened on another side, provided it was like that. And then I'm annoyed because it shits over people and their stuff who actually put some effort into their work, Jan Steen, Gumby and the other 'shoppers. Eventually it's just plain old boring trolling, along with the same old excuses why it should be permitted.

I would not know either, unless I just happened to come across it, or if Andrew posts it here (where is Astro, by the way?)

I read AVfM sporadically, an article here and there, if it is one that caused controversy, I will make sure to read it, sometimes I browse around looking for an article that I am interested in, which is how I found the One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest article last night. I found it to be spot on.

The best answer I can give you at the moment, is that I was not impressed with her, and I would have to go back and re-read things I've read of hers to give you a more detailed answer. I may do that, but not right now.

Around 1:09 they have a chuckle about cleaning up after rape, it might be a stretch to call it a joke, nevertheless seems it would be considered offensive if uttered by non feminists.
