Sunday School 5 years, 4 months agoYes Simon then be careful with your words. Say “woke activists who go to far are modern witch hunters” and try not to over generalise. This whole “fear of cancel culture” as though its some rampant out of control problem is a product of conservative reactionaries. They’ve been doing it forever and will keep on doing it. It takes our attention away…[Read more]

Sunday School 5 years, 4 months agoWoke people are the new witch-burners – unfortunately.
This is a ridiculous over exaggeration. Sometimes what they are opposing is entirely reasonable. It’s easy as a straight white male to see racism, homophobia and sexism as a problem that is mostly resolved requiring soft activism but that is blatantly untrue. They are still rampant and a…[Read more]

Sunday School 5 years, 4 months agoI think it shows the paucity of religious morality.
Indeed. There is no Christian society out there that doesn’t pick and choose from their “source of moral authority” book they call the bible. As they slowly reject one old rule after another to keep their rules compatible and palatable with modern secular society…their Christian morality…[Read more]

The Greeks were slave owners, misogynists and war happy. They were by no means angels. However even being able to devise and implement a concept like “sortition” is revolutionary. And that was accompanied by a golden age of novel ideas and written and discussed in a novel way along with proto-scientific ideas. This also happened in an inc…[Read more]

Hard to imagine a different outcome unless secularism alters our trajectory enough to avoid the existential dangers.
I don’t really know. The Greeks were constantly experimenting with new political and social ideas (sometimes out of necessity sometimes for pure interest). That included increasing rights for the average citizen and constant ideas…[Read more]

Sunday School 5 years, 4 months agoI think that this point you might as well just have a Clorox Bleach diet. God will protect you if he wants to (which he doesn’t).

Sunday School 5 years, 4 months agoA few puns make me numb, but maths puns make me number.
My eyes rolled so hard they got stuck and now I permanently look sceptical and bemused by everything.

Sunday School 5 years, 4 months agoThanks Reg!
I’m still staggered by some of your puns. The awfulness defies description. However, I shall leave you with this:-
A few puns make me numb, but maths puns make me number.

XKCD has a pretty funny article regarding what would happen if suddenly all of our technology suddenly became intelligent and could communicate with one another. The result is very little. Big machines are bolted to the ground. Cars could drive over a few people but they’d run out of gas/electricity and some speed traps would contain them.…[Read more]

Sunday School 5 years, 4 months agoWell now, Reg. I have a friend whose 5 year old has started to pick up on isolation swear words. Whereas ‘bammit’ is quite sweet, I am completely sold on ‘Cheese Crisis’. That is my go to expression. With that clarified…
Cheese Crisis, Reg! Any more puns and my head would explode. Petra is feeling a lot better since we shoveled multiple f…[Read more]

NEWS NEWS NEWS!! Current Events and Favorite News Sources 5 years, 4 months agoRobert, watching Fox news for two minutes is extremely nauseating. Though I have to admit, watching MSNBC can be equally aggravating. While I may agree with much of their content, I find their bias is proudly on display. One big difference is MSNBC is far less likely to outright lie, distort facts and knowing manipulate on a significant scale, but…[Read more]

I sort of do the same thing Pope. I read the wikipedia articles on obscure languages (there are thousands of them so it’s unlikely I will run out). As I had taken a couple classes on linguistics I know the bare basics about phonology and grammar and language families. So it is “MILDLY” interesting as you say. If it is completely unengaging it…[Read more]

She explains that her battery is good for a 173 years.
That will be quite the orgy then.

What if robots had enough AI to develop wants, needs, pride, and fear of death? What if they could be better at sex than any human on top of being more physically attractive?
Then those robots would just spend all day having sex with one another until their batteries ran out. Doesn’t sound very sustainable.

Sunday School 5 years, 4 months agoThanks Reg! Spent all day yesterday at the emergency vet as the damn puppy found and ate most of a battery. Vet saved the day, if not the bank account. Got some time today to enjoy 🙂

I remember of all the colossally stupid god damn shit that Dr. Bob said while he was here (and he said a lot of colossally stupid shit) was somehow giving the catholic church credit for the progressive ideas and human rights we now enjoy in modern society.
Despite the fact that the catholic church was demonstrably against, and…[Read more]

They become Buddhist hippies preying on children in Thailand, or they become men’s rights activists or “proud boys” or they become flat-Earthers or they join ISIS or they blow up a Mosque or hopefully they see the light and reform their ways (LMAO).
