I'm currently working in a gift shop, which has a ton of stuff that's personalized with names, and I hear adults bitching constantly about how nothing ever has "Benjamyn" or "Kamryn" or "Addison" or some stupid name like that on it. What the gently caress do you expect? You decide to give your kid some weird-rear end spelled name to make them unique, then complain when the name isn't normal enough for products to be made with it on them.

And yet you never seem to have enough Bort license plates.

Is there some sort of law for if a woman says anything a MRA will show up?

Here's how it all began.



Marsha gets shot down.


MRA Ed Itorial shows up. Would it be kosher to post a photo of this guy?
Just so you can place a face to the horrible, horrible posts.
Also, loving 18 year olds? We're both 28.


"Writes in a journal what works and what doesn't".
"Hello, FBI. Can you drive by this guys house and take a look around? Like maybe the basement or the shed?"




That's where it ended last night. Here's some more from this morning. This is still going and even now I've got more to post. Ed keeps digging after he's been shot down.

"Women are very interesting beings"
I'm sure they are to Ferengi like yourself.

Yeah, that whole "I go up to 10 women a day and tell them they look sexy and they thank me" can definitely be cross posted to the stdh.txt thread.

And just to be clear, he gets offended at the implication that catcalling is wrong in the first series of posts and then accuses Mack of catcalling in the last post? Wait, I'm sorry, he doesn't accuse him of catcalling, but then he does...but then he doesn't.

It's a play on the Moms Demand Action gun control group.

It's not really effective because Moms Demand Action sprung up around the Newton shooting, so the picture sorta implies that moms should hang around schools as armed guards. It's not the worst pro/anti gun thing in the thread, but it's still pretty bad.

Kind of ironic, because it was a mom owning guns that gave the Newton shooter access to the weapons he used.

I love (hate) how this kind of person is actually more offensive to their supposed cause than to anyone else, by presuming that they can tell at a glance who is or is not "cis".

Intersectionality makes it harder to write someone off an an oppressor. In past decades maybe a feminist would say "ugh, MEN!" or a person of color would say "ugh, WHITE PEOPLE!" but now people feel they have to stipulate "ugh, STRAIGHT WHITE CIS ABLE-BODIED NEUROTYPICAL WEALTHY WESTERN FIRST-WORLD" ad nauseum because they're trying to blow off steam and walk on glass at the same time.

I would reply with this to everything they post.



So it looks like the dust up from earlier is settled down.

Among the many things I don't like about the MRA guy; he keeps editing his replies.

I've noticed that quite a few MRAs are drawn to Deepak Chopra/quantum focusing/new age bullshit as well. Maybe it's something that comes with the turf?

Recap of characters:

Artie Choke: MRA/PUA. As ugly on the outside as he is on the inside. Wants to have sex with girls in HS. 28.

Al Toesacks: Guy Artie knows. Reformed PUA? IDK.

Frank N. Stein: Friend of the all time winner of best FB Anonymizer name:

Mario Speedwagon: The:mrapig:FEMALE:mrapig: that committed the crime of not liking being stared at by creepy old dudes.





The last 2 posts accurately sum up all sane peoples thoughts here


But then a new status update from Artie!

I stumbled upon a bucket of crazy today because of a science new story comment section:

Let's take a look at this rational response:


So it's a facebook link, which I click on...just to see.



Seems legit.



Wake up!

And the obligatory enormous block of text post. Here are some choice bits (the full bit is just a loving huge block of text that I feel dumber for having read):

quote:

What I have to say is important but impossible to believe. I am going to start by talking about pictures of the Earth from space to break this wall of deception so that we can get into the meat of what I need to tell you after. If you search images of Earth from space, you will get results of the Apollo 17 image, pictures more recently made by NASA, computer generated images, and possibly some of NASA's other work. The fact is that if you do research into these images, you will find that the more recent pictures from NASA aren't even being claimed by them to be of actual pictures of Earth from space. Given with what you are left with in the image search, you are pretty much left with the Apollo missions that are supposed to be real and the obvious computer generated images. Now this should be shocking to people but they never even think about it, because we don't even know that anything is wrong with anything related to NASA at all.

quote:

Given the half century of NASA's work in low Earth orbit, which later expanded to the solar system, by now we should have hundreds, if not thousands of real pictures of Earth from space.

quote:

You will learn that evidence is key, and the only way you are going to learn of what is really happening in the world.

quote:

I learned of the actual fraud and crimes of the U.S. government in December 2013. I was mortified by what I had learned about JFK's autopsy when I was going through the evidence. I studied the assassination and I now have an understanding of what happened to the President. Because of my love of science, I eventually learned that the fraud actually extends into science as well. This was shocking for other reasons, because that is not how science is supposed to even work.

quote:

Since I had learned that we never went to the moon, the pictures of the Earth from space fell into question as well. I examined them and found them closer resembling a giant physical model since the clouds were not changing in the time that was being represented by the Earth's rotation in the various pictures.

quote:

Not only is NASA doing nothing in the solar system, I had to study satellites since they should be able to take pictures of Earth from space. GPS satellites are at a distance that they can take sizable pictures of Earth, and yet those pictures do not exist. There are supposed to be satellites in geostationary orbit as well, very far out, and the images just don't exist. I was learning that satellites passed low Earth orbit didn't even exist, because if they did, we would have thousands of pictures of Earth from space by now. I had to investigate everything NASA claims to do. Like I stated, I love science, and I wanted to know what they actually can do, and where the lies end. With months of investigation, I found that NASA actually does nothing. They are even lying about their climate change data in their models. They are simply a tool to lie to the American people and the world. Powerful people control the world, and what we are made to believe about our countries and our sovereignty turns out to also be nonsense.

quote:

Another shocking fact, similar to the space programs all being a lie, is the fact that nuclear weapons do not even exist. All of the video evidence for them is fraud.
