Re: Help support the Slyme Pit
Cool. I'm a bit of an amazon-aholic when I've got cash to spare, so I'll be sure to run through here first. :)Lsuoma wrote:So, a lot of you will remember that the cunts at Google deep-sixed my AdSense account for alleged click fraud.
You'll probably have noticed that I have been jiggering around with the page footer, and have now set it up to reference my Amazon.com associates account. If you click on the link in the footer you'll be taken to a basic page with a search box at top right. If you purchase your Amazon.com goodies through that search box, it'll help the pennies come in to support the Pit.
Thanks, and let me know if you have any questions...

Eh? What has SN's being a lesbian got to do with it? (Presuming SN is a lesbian - I have no idea, and can't possibly see why it could be an issue even if she was)JackRayner wrote:WTF?! :lol:

"Classless"? Isn't that a good thing? Or does xit* mean it in a 'not enough class' way? In which case: PeeZus Christ Classism!
However in spite of our being 'classless' and other bad things, xit says we're 'right about atheism', which more than makes up for it to me. Did xit mean that? Or was it an error? Thirteen posts later and no-one's questioned it.

Scenty is a lesbian? Alright, it's by the wittily titled 'Hallucinating Liar', but I don't recall Scenty ever saying so here.
On the upside Scenty, this guy:

If he'd claimed you shared her opinions, I'd have thought it was offensive, but like a good feminist, he only mentions appearances. So you can pass for 33. Not bad eh? (Scenty mentioned recently that her 50th is coming up)

I haven't spent too much time in the new forum there, but there has been a notable increase in people on YouTube and elsewhere noting that "Hey, you guys have a better opinion of women than FTB" Which is true. And an actual misogynist just isn't going to get the sort of feedback they crave.
No one denies there's injustice and that people suffer, but great monolithic forces that explain everything? That's nuts. Reality is infinitely more complex. Patriarchy theory, like The Bible and the Protocols of the Elders of Zion are explanations for idiots, or bigots or both. It's not a zero-sum Us vs Them. We are all in this together and, very often, this sucks for everyone.
In any case, the Athiplus people are fundamentalists and fundamentalists need an enemy. The more narrowly defined, if entirely fictional, the better. In fact, if your social cohesion is based on continuous battles against the forces of whatever, then the more fictional the enemy, the better. You can't defeat a figment of the imagination and so the necessary state of constant conflict is assured.
As Atheism Plus goes into its death throes, and people bail out leaving a smaller, harder core of crazy, they are invariably going to get louder and subject to a lot more angry thrashing about.
Which is, of course, totally my idea of a good time.

Makes sense, if only because the Ministry of Truth's attempt to make A Voice for Men the official enemy back-fired in such a wonderful fashion. Not only did they get various video LULZ launched at them, but it doesn't take a genius to realize that if you link (or coyly don't like The Peez) to AVfM promising people that this is the very festering hive of misogyny and chest-thumping male privilege and people actually take a look, they are going to be disappointed.AKAHorace wrote:Seriously though, I think that PZ has restarted this charade to energize his base. These guys need someone to pile onto and fewer people are naive enough to waste time trying to reason with them. So he has not had anyone to ban for a while, the tone is getting tepid, they miss tearing in to someone and so are forced to pick a fight with Oolon (who seems a nice enough guy).

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
SN isn't lesbian & more into men, if I remember right. Did have a go at lesbian rad fem separatism shit before it was cool though.
What is wrong with having MRA points of view? There's a lot of fucking overlap on equality between MRAs and feminists.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I see Oolon is pulling a Dillahunty. People told him over and over what PZ was like but he couldn't remove his tongue from his idol's arse long enough to listen. Now that he has finally been placed in the oh-so-scary "dungeon" Oolon decides a blogpost is needed adressing the unfairness of it all.
Big fucking WOW Oolon. PZ acted like a cock to you and you were treated unfairly. Who would ever have guessed it?
Just who do you think your blogpost is benefiting. other than yourself? We all know what PZ Pissflap is like and his acolytes won't listen to a word you say until the same thing happens to them. It's about time you got with the program.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
From Oolon's blog: "} I’m actually concerned about PZ, I’ve never seen comments garbled on Pharyngula – even the horrible racists and homophobes… Why not just delete if me saying effectively the above but in shorter form is that offensive? This is strange behaviour…"
Jesus, Oolon. How many times have you been told that this sort of shit is commonplace at Pharyngula? Garbling the comments of detractors has been going on since the Ark set out yet you didn't give a fuck before and chose to ignore it when people told you it happened. I wonder why that was? Why the big change of heart? Why should anyone care now that it's happening to you?

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Yeah, nah I didn't think you were, I just thought it was drawing too long a bow. I now see it in a different light considering your second paragraph, the one that's bolded, which I very much agree with. There's so little self-awareness there, it's fucking amazing. When they read these boards I'm sure they scoff at what I've just said, but I swear to god anyone with half a brain can see how dogmatic they are for a self-proclaimed bunch of skeptics. Which makes comments like this one (from 'Well, I won't do that again') extra amusing, it's almost like some meta-irony or something:AndrewV69 wrote:As I do not understand humans on an instinctive level the way I do animals, that was me speaking for myself and no one else.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
New poster here...
Thanks to PZ linking to this site I have just spent an amusing half hour reading this thread and thought I'd register instead of just lurk. Like many who have PZ's blog at FTB bookmarked, I have gone from liking his stuff to going "meh". As for that horde of his, well I'd rather post on an Answers in Genesis forum than dip my toe into that crowd of uptight preciousness. Lots of lols there atm though regarding PZ getting all butt-hurt about oolon and this terrible, terrible forum. ;)
At least FTB put me onto Al's blog, so when he left I gladly followed him to his new (old) site; I hope Al really is posting here now too btw. :-)
I may not post much here (or I might) as I'm new to the Slyme and still need to get a feel for the place, but let me just say it's refreshing to to see you can speak your mind here and not get hammered by groupthink.

Hi there :) I used to love reading PZ's blog. The past few months I've noticed it's become less skeptical and scientific and more self-serving and placating.

Oolon hasn't taken the official entrance exam, evidenced by his refusal to admit to wheter he likes fishsticks. By oolon's reasoning he is therefore not a pitter.

Maybe that's why PZ doesn't like linking to the Pit - people might actually visit and like it. The Streisand effect and all that.
Also, oh, yes, this place is one of the spots where you can discuss what's going on without getting shitcanned. It's still amusing to me that Ophelia Benson says she can mod and ban people on her blog at her leisure, but whines about it when people do it to her on other blogs. It's that kind of hypocrisy that's rampant over at FTB / A+theism.

But something happened.
Whatever it was, it set him on a course that resulted in him leaving skepticism far behind.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
I had to look it up but I believe the proper term is Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP). I would be interested in why you think it is creepy seeing that as far as I can see sales/marketing people appear to employ aspects of it extensively.JackRayner wrote:Oh yes. There are a LOT of those. It seems there is a lot of money to be made in selling "success with women" to men. And some of it is kind of creepy too. The NLP [Neural Language Processing] brand of PUArtistry creeps me the fuck out. Just the idea though, I'm not entirely sure that it works.
I've gotten into trouble by mentioning some of my knowledge of pick up to the women I know, too. There was one friend that I recommended recommended OKCupid to. She returned with stories about some of the ways that men initiated conversations on there, so I started giving her some of my thoughts on the subject, and eventually let her know about pick-up, and how it affected my perception of the whole dating thing.
Several months later, after we ended up having a one-night stand, she started accusing me of having used PUA mind tricks to get her into bed.

So you are a "natural" PUA *shrug*. Stuff like this is useful to people like me who would be completely clueless about what is going on without it.
BTW, the fact that she drank wine before the sex is according to the radfems rape. And not just in Sweden either my man. Apparently on an American campus and increasingly everywhere, you are a rapist (and you wish I am joking but I am not).
Apparently the thing to do to avoid a false rape charge is to get her to text you a "great sex last night" kind of thing so if she has buyer's remorse later you have proof of consent.

It seems they think that any male who buys into all that “women are people too†crap have never had sex.
It’s PUA thinking. They need the trope of the beta male to see themselves as alphas.
That’s right boys, we’re all AFCs* over here, stuck in the ‘friend’ zone. Gosh, high school is like totally the worst. [Pines for the cool girl totally out of his league.]
*Average Frustrated Chump. Actual PUA term.
If you have two possible interpretations of what a person says:
1. They have a contempt for their own gender which amounts mental illness.
2. They're lying. (Maybe just to you, maybe to themselves too.)
It's worth giving at least some consideration to theory 2.
Brownian mentions PUAs. I don't know that much about them. (Since expending time, money and effort getting stupid neurotic women into bed doesn't interest me.) But I know this: Among campus bed-post-notchers fembots are often a target. As I once heard it expressed: "If you can stay up 'til three in the morning agreeing with everything they say, they'll probably have sex with you."

PZ doesn't link to things like this site for the same reason the discovery institute doesn't - he knows his lies and hyperbolic rhetoric will be shown for what they are. He (and others) follow other practices of the IDiots such as banning, editing, censoring, etc.Pitchguest wrote:Welcome! I'm still new, too, but the people make you feel welcome quick.Inaction Man wrote:New poster here...
Thanks to PZ linking to this site I have just spent an amusing half hour reading this thread and thought I'd register instead of just lurk. Like many who have PZ's blog at FTB bookmarked, I have gone from liking his stuff to going "meh". As for that horde of his, well I'd rather post on an Answers in Genesis forum than dip my toe into that crowd of uptight preciousness. Lots of lols there atm though regarding PZ getting all butt-hurt about oolon and this terrible, terrible forum. ;)
At least FTB put me onto Al's blog, so when he left I gladly followed him to his new (old) site; I hope Al really is posting here now too btw. :-)
I may not post much here (or I might) as I'm new to the Slyme and still need to get a feel for the place, but let me just say it's refreshing to to see you can speak your mind here and not get hammered by groupthink.
Maybe that's why PZ doesn't like linking to the Pit - people might actually visit and like it. The Streisand effect and all that.
Also, oh, yes, this place is one of the spots where you can discuss what's going on without getting shitcanned. It's still amusing to me that Ophelia Benson says she can mod and ban people on her blog at her leisure, but whines about it when people do it to her on other blogs. It's that kind of hypocrisy that's rampant over at FTB / A+theism.
I think oolon has to bow before a statue of Abbie first, then kick a woman in the privates (see Nanny Offal, we can use the word less than you can!). Then dance naked widdershins around an effigy of Watson, all the while offering coffee to it.
Or was that just me that did that?

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
Quick note - not sure if anyone else gets the "Ardent Atheist" podcast, but I went and bought the premium package ($10 for the whole 90-odd minutes instead of the free 60 minute, ironically after hearing the episode on rape jokes and Daniel Tosh), but they did one from TAM that is hilarious, including a few songs, and one song about Elevatorgate. That was episode 75. Just thought I'd recommend it to everyone.

Re: Periodic Table of Swearing
The deal with PZ is simple. At some point he realized that in terms of doing science, he'd hit the ceiling long ago, and being a prof at a small northern tier uni was what he was doing. Now, there's nothing wrong with that. In fact, it's a pretty solid gig, but, you're not going to get famous doing it. He was never going to be Dawkins or any of the other major scientists. He wasn't getting a chair anywhere, lucasian or otherwise.
He was just going to be Dr. Myers from MN.
There are in fact, worse things.
But then he figures something out - he's kind of internet famous, and he sees that the more internet famous he becomes, the more people want him around. They pay him to fly places and talk. He gets in movies, he even gets interviewed by real news people, and he starts edging closer to that Dawkins - level fame he wants so very bad. Since he can take lots of time off to go be internet famous, he does, and then realizes that aligning with Becky et al, even though she's a prat, brings more attention, and in terms of ad money, well, he's doing rather well for himself as long as he keeps the hits up.
That's easy, he just has to piss people off and in the US, just saying "I'm an atheist" gets you that.
At this point, he's basically a New Media Douchebag. He doesn't do shit, I'll bet a ten-spot his book never gets published, because he'll just be so gosh-darned busy, he's got no time to write it. (Thanks Greta, that excuse is a pip!). He has the 'regular' job which gives him stability, and the "internet famous" job which feeds his ego.
It's really not bad work if you can get it. But that's probably why PZ is the way he is.

You know, for all that they talk about how PUAs are evil and vile bastards who hate women, I constantly said over on Skepchick back in the day that that right there is the cause of very nearly 100% of my success with women, and they praised me for it.

That's pretty solid analysis. I called into A Voice for Men Radio a couple times when John and GWW were going off on Atheism Plus, because my theory of the thing is very similar to yours. By now they may have gotten that this is nothing more than an internet fight, a couple forums and blog consolidation sites that thought they could take it into the real world because they are deluded fucks.
Like everything else that gets stuff done, the Atheist/Skeptic movement is a hierarchical system. Doesn't mean the people at the top are better people, just that in any given hierarchy they are just better at doing what the hierarchy demands. In the corporate world, this might means being a sociopathic shit.
Anyway, there are those who do, the Dawkins and Dennets, Hitchens and Harrises that do the heavy lifting and also the Randis and Shermers and Joe Nickells who actually write, investigate, they are out there knocking doors and slapping people around. To write a book like Shermer's Denying History where he takes on the entire Holocaust Denial industry and uses source documents, photo analysis and eshews some erroneous witness testimony like the claim the Nazis made soap, and brings it all together in a slam dunk takes an incredible amount of chops. If you've ever seen the number Randi did on Uri Geller, it's a think of beauty and, really, you have to be a professional magician to really deconstruct Geller's methods. Now, it's not an exclusive club, you can have people come in out of nowhere like Larry Kusche and The Bermuda Triangle Mystery Solved, but the point is, you have to do the work.
Below that are the people who don't do, but write about what's done. And below that are the second and third tier bloggers who are just members of the me-too committee.
Thing about this pyramid is that the people on top tend to stay on top, but the people in the middle, the mediocre bloggers, dream of replacing them. IN any revolution the means of the middle is to enlist the peons to overthrow the ones at the top so that they can then take the place of the ones at the top and totally forget about the people on the bottom again.
What FFTB and Atheism Plus represents is the "internet-famous" people who got famous repeating the stuff that the people at the top did. At some point they decided that they didn't need the guys at the top that actually did something and the internet famous thought they could run the show themselves. Of course, once they had a little revolution, or what passes for one in internet land, they started playing "fuck the peasants" immediately, as always happens.
The joy of this whole cluster fuck is that the people who repeated, like a really egotistical typesetter who decides he doesn't need the people who actually write the copy, immediately had fuck all to say. This is why Becca is off giving lectures on mean shit people said to her on YouTube: That's all she has. She doesn't create anything, all she has is marginal internet fame and all she can do is talk about her adventures on the internet. The rest of them: The Peez, McBoob and the rest thought they could do it too, but they don't have the fire-retardant skin necessary to be one of the people at the top doing it.
I have a manifesto on the subject, but you get the idea.

There are a LOT of those. It seems there is a lot of money to be made in selling "success with women" to men. And some of it is kind of creepy too. The NLP [Neural Language Processing] brand of PUArtistry creeps me the fuck out. Just the idea though, I'm not entirely sure that it works.
I've gotten into trouble by mentioning some of my knowledge of pick up to the women I know, too. There was one friend that I recommended recommended OKCupid to. She returned with stories about some of the ways that men initiated conversations on there, so I started giving her some of my thoughts on the subject, and eventually let her know about pick-up, and how it affected my perception of the whole dating thing.
Several months later, after we ended up having a one-night stand, she started accusing me of having used PUA mind tricks to get her into bed. The fact is that all that was involved was a liter and a half of wine in my system, half a liter in hers, and her being extra flirty with me. [I think I've mentioned this story before. It was very traumatic. :violin: ] The level at which I currently employ "PUA tricks" are; believing physical beauty is common, indifference, and assuming that women are attracted. If these things are "mind tricks", [on anyone other than myself] then some of the men I know are fucking Jedi Masters!
Yes, that. Linguistic. :? Anywho, my feeling "creeped out" by is a wholly subjective response. I won't defend it, beyond saying that I guess I'm bothered by the idea of fellows using even more specialized manipulation techniques to get laid. I know...it's, like, if it's effective, why shouldn't it be used? Just because it's more effective than what you personally do? Like I said, I got nothing against it but my own emotions. *Shrugh*
I used to be. [Editor's note: I had a giant wall of text here, but I cut it, in the spirit of succinctness. If you're interested in hearing a story then lemme know and I'll share.] Then, at 22, I agreed to enter into an exclusive relationship which rounded my sharp edges off and then spit me out a year later when I had been house-broken to the point of being unattractive. Familiarizing myself with pickup has helped me learn why I was more successful pre-relationship, so I've been working on shedding my imagined inhibitions and getting my edge back...AndrewV69 wrote:So you are a "natural" PUA *shrug*. Stuff like this is useful to people like me who would be completely clueless about what is going on without it.
I'm aware. [Isn't it sad that such a conversation must even be had?] Just went on Facebook and dug up PM's from the night after it happened; October 29 of last year. I remember that the PUA, Jedi mind-trick accusation came Monday the 31st at school, where she was wearing a really skimpy costume... [No relation to the one-night stand! Don't need a slut-walk happening on my tiny campus. :lol: ] She mostly took it as an adult. An adult would have at least taken responsibility for their own actions, and not blamed it on being hypnotized by a younger man so drunk that he couldn't comply with going a second round because he got the spins and would have puked everywhere... :oops:AndrewV69 wrote:BTW, the fact that she drank wine before the sex is according to the radfems rape. And not just in Sweden either my man. Apparently on an American campus and increasingly everywhere, you are a rapist (and you wish I am joking but I am not).
Apparently the thing to do to avoid a false rape charge is to get her to text you a "great sex last night" kind of thing so if she has buyer's remorse later you have proof of consent.
