When will the patriarchal, sexist world of synchronized swimming have its own Elevatorgate so we can get some intersectional feminism going in this community, one that is dangerous for women?

While efforts are made to broaden the field and the events in the sport, making it inclusive, there is something particularly feminine about synchronized swimming. Not just in the way that the movements are impossibly difficult but made to love ok easy—as women we can’t just succeed, we must succeed without appearing to exert effort—but in the way it is judged. Swimmers must lift their body weight above the water while holding a smile rigid on their face, in full makeup, while the rest of the body is submerged in water. Imagine an Olympic weight lifter asked to smile during a clean-and-jerk, or a football player required to let out a churlish laugh during a tackle. In synchro, points are deducted for frowning. Points are awarded for presentation, such as makeup. But the essence of judging itself cuts to the core of what it is to be a woman. The FINA guide for judges states: “All judgments are made from the standpoint of perfection.”
So the synchronized swimmers are forced to SMILE?!?!?! No other athletes are forced to SMILE. So a woman isn't perfect unless she's SMILING?

This is bullshit.

It's a bullshit sport.

The spectators should be drug tested.

It's frankly indigestible. Ex-FTB thirds rankers and the jelly-head kids Atheist+-ers used to steal dinner money from have set up a network. Hilarity has ensued as they apologise to obvious trolls for crimes like 'breathing fast'.

The telling of the story of the death threats are completely distorted, and the video where she mentions that a "gamergater" was on her way to her house to kill her was all part of a hoax that no one else was taking seriously, which of course Wu was aware of. She has chosen to inflate all this harassment angle at every opportunity, and I think she looks ridiculous in this program. I guess really the best course would be to ignore her and see if she can still generate publicity through quality of work, but I think everyone, including Wu, knows that that is not going to happen.

Wu looks ridiculous, if you're in the know about her shitty history and the truth about what gamergate really is. But many if not most of the people know fuck all about Wu and her bullying bullshit, gamergate, schisms, SJWs and their dishonest tactics, etc. Hell, they don't even know Wu is swingin' a schlong under her outfit, and they certainly don't know xer terrible track record as a game developer. So they watch and say "oh, that poor homely woman, that gamergate sounds horrible!" So Wu can sit there and look fucking ridiculous and smile through her crocodile tears because that shit works. The media is either lazy-ass stupid and swallows it whole because hey, it's easier than actually doing journalism, or they're complicit in the SJW fraud that's being perpetrated and intentionally ignore the other side(s) of the story. And the public laps it up, trusting the media to be objective and therefore getting sucked into The Narrative. Bah.

Oh, ok, thanks for the heads-up. I'll just scroll, then, if there's nothing juicy.

The mountain venture was cool, then we decided to stay one extra day to finish some work, and then we were blocked by a snowstorm. I arrived home 1.5 hours ago. And didn't injure myself. I'll post some pictures later.

No arguments there. Can't imagine what they thought they were doing.

I had a very tangential experience of Bloody Sunday. My dad had got a job at a hospital in Derry, and we drove there on Bloody Sunday. There were no car radios then, or at least if there were we didn't have one. When we got there, the place was eerily quiet. My dad was called into work a couple of days early. I was two, too young to actually remember it, but I've heard it told quite often.

He said he was going there to snipe her and "street race" her. People who take that seriously are the reason we have "do not eat" warnings on packets of silica gel.

Hello there
Hi everyone ,

I am a little overwhelmed at being selected to blog here. Trying to get used to it -:

Let me introduce myself. I am from India. When not blogging or trying to propagate a rational world view in the Indian society both online and offline , I work as a doctor practicing medicine 8-10 hours a day , 6 days a week in a small town in the south of the country.

My posts here will be mostly about issues faced by freethinkers in India , about its religions, politics, threats to scientific temper and secularism , gender , caste etc. I may also write about world politics , science , clinical medicine , pseudo science and anything that I find interesting.

Opinions I express here are just drafts , which can be edited and altered if there are strong evidence to back such a change. So I welcome discussions in a civil manner so that all of us can reach a logical , rational , evidence based view points on most issues.

A word about blog title. Many would be wondering what is this Nastik in the title. Nastik means atheist in many of the Indian languages.

So bye for now and HAPPY READING !
Surely not... :think:

Input Devices:
* Computer (HDMI)
* Roku (HDMI)
* BlueRay Disc Player (HDMI)

Will I regret only having 3 HDMI inputs? (I am a PC game player, not console gaming)
Will I regret only having 1 USB input? Is adding a USB hub an option?
What on earth would I need an HDMI output on a TV for?

-------

Issue 2:
TV Stand (60").
I am looking for a dark solid wood stand. Not high profile, or enclosed TV set. I will probably be moving in the near future, so the ability to break it down & set it back up would be nice. But I also do want it to look attractive. Budget is highly flexible depending on the quality. Already checked Ikea and nothing in their limited dark wood selection works. Any suggestions?

Will I regret only having 3 HDMI inputs?

Nah. That's enough. You are going to get plex anyway so you don't have to plug your computer up to your pc anyway to get content off of it.

Will I regret only having 1 USB input?

Most only have one. It's really all you need.

Is adding a USB hub an option?

Doubtful but I also don't think you will need more than one.

Issue 2:
TV Stand (60")....Any suggestions?

Lots of them. First off I would look at wall mounting it. If that isn't an option I like using something a buffet.

Before the break up my set up was wall mounted tv with a full size buffet style record player under it which sat the PS3 (for games and blu ray, we also had a chromecast) with large bookshelves on either side that had the media on it.

* They have an enjoyable hobby they like to devote time

Race, class, gender and sexuality really don't factor at all.

Yet I do see a disproportional number of transgenders in their circles. Have they all somehow failed on several of these four points? I can see how they have trouble with establishing a relationship, but that goes for many non-transes as well.

You know, when I read references to The Orbit the way the text kind of scrunches here makes my eyes see it as Obit and I just realized that there is an old Outer Limits episode titled "O.B.I.T." and damn if it's not somewhat relevant to this whole FTB/Orbit tempest in a teapot.

Which is why the Orbitters will fail, just like Atheism+. They've already set up strict rules for PC posting and soon no one will dare to post anything anymore for fear of transgressing them. Or they'll spend their main time apologising for previous transgressions. There just won't be enough time, even in their jobless world.

I still walk at least 3 km every day, it helps with the fatigue side of the diseases. I don't work, although not because of these diseases, but I do volunteer at a shelter for abused foreign domestic helpers here in HK. Ania goes to bed for days, and yells at doctors who won't give her the meds she wants when she wants them.

My mom has very severe RA. Its painful to look at her hands and feet as they are so deformed. She has had this since a young age. Yet, despite this, she got her PhD, and started two businesses which she ran alone, along with taking care of two kids, for years. All this in a Islamic cultural environment which did not approve of her leaving the house and working. Even with her deformation and pain, she paints, drives, cooks and, to her doctors amazement, takes long walks. I mean, her feet are so deformed that she can't wear shoes, and has to have open toe sandals custom made for her. Yet, it does not stop her, and she keeps going. These Orbitard whiny cry babies are just used to being handed things to them, and a severe kick in the pants would them good.

If anyone was wondering whether there was any resentment about PZ getting the lion's share of the money, I think we cand pretty much put that to rest. From Alex McGabriel:

At FTB, proceeds from ad revenue after hosting costs are divided among bloggers according to how much traffic they get: if you get five percent of the site’s hits, you get five percent of the cash. The Orbit’s system differs in two ways. Firstly, now that we’ve raised enough on Kickstarter to cover our first year of hosting costs, all ad revenue will go directly toward paying writers. Secondly, only half the total will be allocated by views the same way as at FTB; the other half will be divided equally between all bloggers.

You know I like the Freedom from Religion Foundation. But [url=http://ffrf.org/news/news-releases/item ... a-crusader]shit like this[/ur] just annoys the piss out of me.

Ken Caryl Middle School in Littleton, Colo., has a "crusader" as its mascot. The figure is a cloaked knight holding a shield and sword. Latin crosses on the tunic and shield mark him out to be a member of Knights Templar, one of the most feared fighting units in the Crusades.

FFRF reminded the school district that a school mascot should not be derived from the Crusades, since they were incredibly divisive and violent. The Crusaders were zealous warriors who slaughtered Jews, Muslims and other Christians in the name of religion. The whole effort was a disaster that to this day mars the West's relationship with the Middle East.

"The religious nature of the mascot, its historical context, and the two Latin crosses, make the conclusion unavoidable—the mascot is religious and the school is endorsing religion over nonreligion," FFRF Staff Attorney Andrew Seidel wrote in an early March letter to Dan McMinimee, the superintendent of Jeffco Public Schools. "The government (including public schools) is prohibited from endorsing religion over nonreligion just as it is prohibited from endorsing one religious sect over another. Standing alone, the crusader's crosses are an unconstitutional endorsement of religion, and when paired with the religious mascot and the historical context, the endorsement is exacerbated."

For a small group with limited resources they spend a lot of time on stupid bullshit.

I agree with Vicky's earlier assessment about Ana Onion over at T'Orbit. She really is showing promise, I've just been reading her latest which details her experiences dealing with fashion and clothes shopping. I have to say, she really does seem to revel in her various health problems, to the point where based on her writings so far, that it seems to define her. It's an extraordinary approach to these challenges, it reads like a polar opposite to Stephen Hawking.

There does seem to be a lot of transgender people. I wonder if gender identification is more fluid that we give credit. As society gets more Liberal and non-religious - more people identify as gay, trans etc. Due to the other crap stuff they do, it's easy for us to accuse SJW of entering the victim olympics. But they may be correct on this and in the future gender switching and people identifying as Bi will get more common than now.

I want to extend my apologies for using the word “stupid.” In 2010 I wasn’t aware of the problems with this language. I probably should have been, but I wasn’t. The piece also uses some other ableist language (“insanely rigid but impossibly contradictory”). If you want to understand more about why it’s ableist to use words like “stupid,” “insane,” “crazy,” “dumb,” and “idiot” as insults, please read the excellent piece on this by Ania Bula (my esteemed colleague here at The Orbit), Ableism Challenge. She explains it a lot better than I can.

I realise Greta is of significantly-below-average intelligence ('stupid', if you will) so she might be a special case - but generally speaking, how can people this deranged function in normal society? Do they simply profess this bullshit online, and then immediately go back to being normal when dealing with real people? Or are they this dysfunctional in every single human interaction?
