SwitchbladeKult posted:It is really a shame too. A lot of people lose their support network when they leave a faith. It is awful that void gets filled with the MRA dumpster fire that is the current sceptics movement. I think for many, just because they don't like religion doesn't mean they're not authoritarians themselves.

RareAcumen posted:I might be mixing together separate incidents, is that the one where she talked about it later as a 'I get being excited and wanting to talk about that kinda stuff with me, but remember to pull it back a bit and not kinda corner me in an elevator and ask if I wanna come up to your hotel room' situation or did the one you're talking about get way worse? Yeah, she wasnt assaulted. But when she said "please don't creep on women when they are alone and vulnerable in a locked metal box. Its scary even if you don't mean it to be" Dorkens started ranting about middle eastern clits. There are a number of "boys will be boys" incidents excusing sexually aggresive behavior and accusations by the skeptic/atheist public figures to the point where its a pattern. And its bad. Specificially Dick Dorkins just yelled about clits for this one.

Yeah I never got how off-putting random flirtation was for women. Then some crazy woman would not stop talking to me in the grocery store even though I was clearly not interested in talking to her. It was really, really, uncomfortable and I had a foot of height and 60 pounds on her and she was following me around like a fuckin' dilophosaurus.

Getting cornered in an Elevator like that is lovely. He should have publicly apologized about it, rather than double down and minimize what happened. You can't go speaking out about how lovely religion is to women and more or less treat them the exact same way.

Whenever I bring in a box of donuts to work and I get stared at by people I don't know in the building and have people talk to me about the donuts I'm holding and get a bunch of unwanted attention I think "this is a glimpse into how women feel when they go anywhere and do anything" Leave me alone of course these donuts aren't for you I don't even know you

It was the craziest loving thing, because it started with her not even naming the guy who did it, and saying "hey if you want more women then don't hit on women in elevators after they just said they don't like getting hit on at conventions" and then it turned into a several month long blood-feud.

More video game dev poo poo here. As much flak as you can give other game designers for putting chicks in skimpy outfits in games, king creep is forever David Cage. He reportedly spent a year looking at pictures of Ellen Page, from a young age until adulthood, and then creeped her out with his album of her. Page was subsequently modeled naked in the game (she considered suing). AFAIK she's never shown completely naked in regular gameplay but the model was there, T&A&P and everything. Cage also, for some reason, needs to include a shower scene featuring a woman in every game he makes. In Omikron (a terrible, terrible game) the main character literally has sex with some other guy's wife while inhabiting the body of said wife's husband within like, the first hour of gameplay. In Heavy Rain there's a dream sequence of a woman being the victim of a home invasion and subsequent sexual assault. It's revealed to be a dream before anything explicit happens, but it's just before or just after (can't remember) a semi-nude shower scene with said woman. She is later creeped on by a motel attendant and wants to totally bone another of the Main Characters. In Beyond Two Souls there's the completely unnecessary shower scene with Ellen Page's character. It adds literally nothing, she is just getting ready for a date. Someone hacked the scene and flew the camera around and discovered the fully modeled nude body, see above. Cage is also a complete loving hack who can't write a coherent and sensible plot to save his life. Some of his games look good technically and that's their one redeeming feature. gently caress David Cage. Anyway, king of T&A games Senran Kagura's dev is upfront, if nothing else: https://twitter.com/kenichiro_taka/status/281205268350660609 Foxhound has a new favorite as of 00:25 on May 3, 2017 |

I think he's suggesting they be moved instead of outright killed? If it were me I'd just let them grow with reckless abandon in my yard rather than putting the effort in to move them.

I mean. 1) He can loving try to transplant whatever he wants since nothing can grow in the wild out there, 2) If Base management hears of that he's on the first flight home. Maybe he get's a warning if he's a grantee, but if he's just some laborer he's toast, and 3) If he tries to smuggle dandelions through New Zealand customs he's proper hosed, potentially even denied entry when they find them. Especially if they look like they're meant for replanting. I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt and say he's not talking about taking them to Antarctica but just garden stuff. If anyone has more questions about "Living" in Antarctica I can answer them. Crain has a new favorite as of 00:49 on May 3, 2017 |

Today I saw a dude on a public page say that Jimmy Kimmel's baby having heart disease was "karma" for making fun of the Trumps. A friend asked if there were any other infants he wanted to die and the guy doubled down.

The eye of the needle being a gate has no historical basis. Its bullshit made up to say. Being rich makes it hard not impossible to get into heaven. Missing and weaseling around the point that Jesus himself said it was IMPOSSIBLE.

Avenging_Mikon posted:I just picked up Nier: Automata, and since it came up, can anyone tell me, spoiler free, do I get to change 2B's outfit at any point? There's an option under Settings -> Camera called "Vertical Auto Adjust" and it changes how the camera shifts during sprinting and such. On its default setting the camera basically lowers for a panty shot while 2B runs. I can get a creator wanting to make their creations sexy, but there's a line you cross to "All these characters are attractive" and "Here's a closeup of her rear end, just for you". The Frank O'Connor one kinda pisses me off the most. And the whole "She's just trying to get attention from the boys" is a real thing that was said, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Wo_CzUwLwI (sorry I used to be able to find a video clip of him actually saying this but nothing sprang out to me without watching every video that came up, although my youtube search terms sure are hosed now.)

Bombadilillo posted:The eye of the needle being a gate has no historical basis. Just this week I had a funny discussion with my wife's uncle (a pastor, too technologically impaired to be an idiot on social media) about the Human Rights Committee. Here in Brazil hating on loving human rights of all things is in vogue right now,so he was mad that "the drat human rights people are always aiding criminals and never their law-abiding victims". It's kind of a "Blue Lives Matter" thing were people say that the criminals have more rights than the cops, who have their hands tied because of it. I explained to him that making sure convicts don't have their human rights violated is their job, and it's the rest of the government's job (law enforcement, healthcare, social security, welfare) to aid the law abiding people. Not to mention that they DO help law abiding people in cases of discrimination and slavery. He was having none of that. Then I said "didn't Jesus basically do the same?" and quoted this quote:When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Which quickly ended the discussion, with his parting shot being "eh, they're all criminals themselves too" nerdz has a new favorite as of 03:40 on May 3, 2017 |
