Thy Plague Doctor

I’m of a mind that if your workplace is wonderful, then getting paid to do it is a bonus. Most workplaces suck in terms of the ‘one idiot’ that always seems to dominate them.  Hum a little tune whilst he’s opining. Treat his views like a foreign language that you don’t need to understand.  You could also look for another job whilst you’re there.

God intercedes in your life and yet is such an uncaring and or sadistic prick that she will allow the species to become extinct?

God did murder every human but a handful with the flood. I think millions of people, including the “guilty” children and evil ones with mental problems and conditions that would exclude culpability drowned. It’s…[Read more]

 none of the responses resonated with me. Sorry :/   not even close

Yes because the function of this discussion was to get, maybe even just one person, to help you confirm your biases and to roll the eyes at all the rational comments coming in. It’s human nature to find sound criticism as hostile, unpalatable and offensive. It doesn’t resonate wi…[Read more]

One recent study shows that the male homo sapiens generally spits into the female’s open mouth as a sign that he wants to mate for life. However the sample size for this study was limited.

I believe that study was later enhanced by a study published in the highly reputable Vogue magazine which demonstrated how the female can judge whether she l…[Read more]

I always find it funny referring to gender groups by using the definite article in a laboratory sense. “The male”. Let’s explore it and see how it gets as we use it more and more:

“The female generally does more housework than the male though things have changed over time where the male is catching up to the female, though the gap is still…[Read more]

You are quoting a Maxim article?

If anyone starts a phrase with “Gay or lesbian people want….”  you can very confidently ignore everything that follows. Even something like “lesbians want women” is dubious as there are no small number of LGTB who deal with gender confusion, confusion over their sexual profile, trans-issues. I’ve rarely met two LGTB people who remotely want the…[Read more]

The same goes the other way around. With some women hiding their own personality, career, goals and dreams from a prospective partner under the assumption that guys want a woman less intelligent than them, making less money and having a less assertive influence over major relational decision. Of course, these guys exists and in theory, there is…[Read more]

Obviously the all men/all women is not true. The most that can be done is generalize.  And perhaps there are cultures where the general rules are inapplicable.

Indeed. Most of the toxic scum-thinking that comes out of modern online sexism (like Men Going their own Way, pick up artists, so called “men’s rights activists”) base most their arguments…[Read more]

While some of those guys are great thinkers and I admire how they have tried to spread the principles of humanism and rationalthinking in brilliant ways…after all these allegations (multiple ones for most of them) and their less than inspiring responses…at the very very least a few of them must be true. The rate of false allegations is really…[Read more]

No it’s been an idiocracy since Regan. And English speaking countries have all followed, lagging behind of course, but the UK is pretty close.

 If not attributed to God telling me what other possible explanations could it be?

Like a gazillion billion schmillion other possible explanations…ones that don’t involve an imaginary invisible supernatural being in the sky chatting with you and granting you your wishes. How on Earth does anyone get to the point where the default and only…[Read more]

For a Tarot reading to work you have to hand over your hard earned money AND find some kind of hindsight explanation for how it works. You have to completely ignore and pretend cold-reading isn’t a time honored and very easy tradition. Put faith into a set of printed paper-plastic cards and money making swindlers that there is something more…[Read more]

It all comes down to whether the democrats are willing to give up their chance to win vs. playing dirty. It’s a case of are they willing to give up their principles so they can govern to try and promote their principles.

The Republicans invented modern dirty politics. It ranges from deception to viscious attacks and manipulation to propaganda…[Read more]

It does not seem probable at all

Well throwing a Zucchini seems like the least incredible thing when you wake up the next morning in the festival tent on the floor soaked in beer and other grossness and your friends show you photos (or worse…videos) of what you did that night. If you think stupid vegitable games are ridiculous, the Swiss to…[Read more]

I suck at bowling. I don’t even enjoy it.

No one does bowling like “keggling”. I was born in the Black Forest in Germany a place with gorgeous midaevil villages. They have their own mini-Oktoberfests in early winter. They dress up in their own version of Lederhosen (black without those stupid suspenders) often have free beer and sausages for v…[Read more]

There is barely a vague illusion of democracy these days. Politicians don’t even try to hide it anymore. It’s a bribe competition.

Sadly it is yet one more example of the U.S. forking away from the rest of the Western world and doing the opposite of what is widely seen as progressive in politics. Canada and most of Europe impose strict limits on…[Read more]
