Meta and I laughed at the bird furry for like forty-five solid minutes last night. Every time we started to settle down, one of us would say something like "Put it in my cloaca!" or "I wonder if we could pay Dalton to change his avatar to Big Bird" or "I'll bet his favorite makeout song is 'Rockin' Robin'" or "Starglider is a bird furry" and we'd lose it again. It was pretty great.

I had a similar reaction when one of the mods on SB found out Einzige/The Overman was a registered sex offender.

PS you shouldn't make fun of him for being a furry, don't want to hurt Thanas' feelings

i'm not really active in it anymore, either, but i was for a few years before i realized i'm not outgoing enough to be the activist type. i mostly just follow a few blogs now

a lot of atheist groups seem not to know if their message is "religion is false" (which i agree with, for everyday definitions of religion) or "religion is harmful" (which i really don't know about). either one can get sour when it's asserted with enough smugness in public though

also dawkins and hitchens are awful mansplainers. like i once saw hitchens, on a panel in australia, try to tell an iranian woman how she would be treated in iran

the SB search is down, but the gist of it is that Einzige left enough of a trail that one of the mods followed it to his name on a sex offender's registry. einzige started a thread where he threw a hissy fit over congress approving a couple million dollars (like ~$30M) for ads at sporting events and sponsorship for three stock cars in NASCAR. he then started referring to anyone who liked NASCAR as white-trash or rednecks (I had to inform him that typically white-trash and rednecks use those terms for endearment); remember einzige was a sockpuppet of ArcturuskMegsk on SDN who advocated killing theists because they were stupid. one of the mods confronted him about why he felt he was such a better person than they are and revealed that he was on a sex offenders registry for molesting an 8-12 year old (IIRC), he denied it saying his uncle had a similar name to him, was told that if he keeps lying the mod would post the info for all of SB to see, left for about a month, came back and admitted it was him.

well, i knew einzeige was arcturus mengsk. but the whole kiddy fiddler thing is a new one

[Bakustra]

a follower of a dude who denied that there could be concepts greater than individuals turns out to be vile in real life? Color me surprised.

yeah, i'm not involved since it's generally better for atheists in canada and less relevant to my experience, and more importantly i really don't care about the 'movement' or 'ideology' very much except for brief periods whenever i see that my conservative catholic friends have posted stupid religious persecution complex shit on facebook. i may be an incredibly shallow person.

yeah

also dawkins and hitchens are awful mansplainers. like i once saw hitchens, on a panel in australia, try to tell an iranian woman how she would be treated in iran

i have never heard of an interaction between dawkins or hitchens and feminist issues that didn't involve them looking like massive chauvinists

you don't have to be a pedo to be vile though

I was 'joking' about how he was obsessed with Max Stirner, whose entire philosophy was rooted around the supremacy of the individual over the conceptual. So it's no surprise that a pedophile would latch onto an ideology that grants him absolution.

[adr-admin]

ugh why did i post in that util thread now i'm going to ultimately waste hours on it

and i'm behind on work but then again work is over 6 months behind on my pay so meh

[adr-admin]

ugh ugh ugh i don't think most the participants have even really thought about the issue


did i ever tell y'all about the ethics class i took in shitiversity? this was 2005 and i was a newb on sdn completely enthralled by the flamewars

and omg the same shit irl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111111111111111111111111 amazing

and the teacher was like some d&d dungeon master trekkie. he talked about that stuff in class



so easy a right

nope i flunked it.... i coudln't find the final exam!

lost the paper with it written (which also had the website address on it and the teacher's office location which i also never saved in my brain)

and didn't know anybody to ask

so yeah pwned. it was recorded as "incomplete" aka "F"

[Phantasee]

i was just being sarcastic and then people took it seriously

anyway r/athiesm is boring and mostly just new athiests who are still angry about the whole religion thing vs older athiests who actually don't care about religion who just don't talk about it

and i'm not an athiest anyway so it's not relevant to me

once i figured out how to cut out the annoying parts of reddit it's been entertaining enough

[starku]

no no

justify your need to be told what to think more

[Zod]

maybe i just don't get "new atheism"

i mean i wound up going atheist after exploring all kinds of different belief systems and eventually deciding they were all pretty much bullshit

but this was before the internet was everywhere and dawkins was a thing

[starku]

didn't sdn teach you that if you have no opinon you need ot be really noisy

BrooklynRedLeg thinks that the country would be better off if more Republicans were like Ron Paul.

Hmmm.... do I really feel like putting in the effort to troll him?

He's a chubby-chaser and has stupid opinions about robot anime, especially Robotech. Ask veef for more details to get the best trolling. But if you throw in a couple fat jokes and stuff he might melt down or might run away. Guess it's a crapshoot. Or you can link the SomethingAwful Ron Paul campaign ad.

[RedImperator]

Is that seriously the most stinging criticism you could think of? That's great, it's nice to know that no that no one will be coming after me for sticking my dick into an ostrich or attempting to masturbate a robin. If they do I'll tell them that I make video games as a hobby so there's no way I could be guilty of molesting animals.

you are the wind beneath my wings

[Phantasee]

awful

I was thinking more along the lines of "Factual" Trolling, i.e. "Yeah the country would be better off. There would hardly be any Republicans in positions of power," or "Sure. That gold standard thing would sink us and everyone would realize what utter fuckups the new Republicans are."

Something like that. I don't know. I've not put too much thought into it beyond being tempted by it.

Uh... no. You'll notice I didn't post a huge info dump.

Eh. That's too obvious. Anyhow, I don't think I'm going to poke the roadkill with a stick. The occasional temptation just isn't enough to interest me in spending the time "debating" him.

Even if I did it just to troll him, I'd end up taking it (too) seriously in the end.

Edit: And anyways, Simon Jester beat me to it.
