Dude, put it further out closer to the street and let the thieves ease your clutter.

Oooh! If only I could move that damn drill press on my own!

It doesn't take much muscle to redirect a spotlight from the porch to illuminate the drill press at night. ijs.

And hey, Toyota + chains = problem solved

I guess white people don't have to worry about being completely disenfranchised. Hey, you know what happens historically when people feel like they're completely disenfranchised with no rights within a system? Riots.

White people won't be first anyway. Riots may happen, but I think the real violence will happen when a community with an active militia is taken over.

I wasn't looking for a movement at all.

Too bad, kid. The loudest person who believes roughly what you believe is officially your spokesbastard.

Did we know that Puppycam is back?

I found out about 8 posts ago.

Trudy, may I tag this please?

Allyson, I read that. But I don't understand how you're interpreting the part you quoted...

You're usually much more rational than I am (I'm typically bananas), so I gave some thought about how I was interpreting the various texts. I think because I've been immersing myself in cognitive dissonance regarding women's issues within this group and men's reactions to the women and their complaints, I bent backwards in the other direction and read it with a huge amount of confirmation bias. The arguments frequently made (and I don't discount some degree of trolling) in defense of sexism as a biological adaptation (usually in the form of evo psych just-so stories) is the weird way sexism is justified in a movement that excoriates religion for justifying sexism because it says so in the bible/torah/koran (apparently, sexism did not exist prior to Abraham). And when people ask these justification people for citations on their claims that men have no control over sexist behavior, we usually get a PDF of a paper on how bedbugs mate. Which, not helpful.

In the last two weeks, I have diagnosed 543 internet commenters with Aspergers.

In fact, I think there needs to be some sort of godwin's law that says that the longer a discussion on women's frustration at being objectified at conferences grows, the probability of a comparison of chimp mating habits as a justification for gangrape reaches 1.

I keep catching myself, or having other people catch me in confirmation bias traps like this. It's frustrating.

I do think sociobiology tends to degenerate into just so stories. That is, it is perfectly rational to suspect that biology affects our social behavior in the abstract. But actual attempts at this mostly degenerate into storytelling that may have literary merit but has no scientific value.

Here is JZ Meyers on that. [link]
