Flat Earth Community / Re: Eric Dubay shot us down
« on: April 02, 2015, 02:55:47 PM »Why should we care about disassociating ourselves from someone's racist views? Thork has already done an excellent job of implying we're racist on Twitter:As I previously suggested on IRC, if you'd like to make a complaint about Thork's work on Twitter, please do so in S&C. Personally, I see no reason to investigate unless someone makes a case for it and gathers some, at least anecdotal, support.https://twitter.com/FlatEarthOrg/status/568056850463109120

« on: March 31, 2015, 12:53:33 PM »Aliens are about as likely as leprechauns.Incorrect. Given that there are no leprechauns on Earth, any leprechauns that exist (if they do), would have to be aliens. However, it is significantly more likely that any aliens out there, should they exist, would not be leprechauns. In other words, non-leprechaun aliens are more likely than leprechauns.

« on: March 30, 2015, 06:41:12 PM »There is no way you seriously interpreted that sentence as me complaining about the sound of his voice. You know very well that I was talking about what he was saying. I think the narrator is a bit of a prick, based on how he described the video.Your original complaint sounds like neither. It seems that you weren't focusing on what he was saying, but rather how he's saying it, and based on your clarification I'm still convinced that that was the case.
On another note, how did that woman get accepted to grad school in the first place.She's a "feminist" in the UK. This stuff is all the rage now in some parts of Europe.
Pizaa, I feel like you're getting seriously personally offended by my disagreeing with you. I don't really understand why you are, but I apologize if that's the case.Oh, not at all. I've noticed that people who disagree with me on these kind of subjects seem to think I'm angry or offended. I'm not, I'm just a prick.

The narrator sounds like a complete m'lady.If you judge a man by how he sounds and not by what he says, we're going to have to agree to disagree and never touch that subject again. I can predict no productive outcome, and if we try discussing it it's gonna end up the same as your contributions to the Ferguson thread.

« on: March 30, 2015, 02:05:01 AM »He does seem to have some historical videos, upon a closer look. His channel is simply mostly devoted to dumb MRA/redpiller/Gamergate/I'm-still-complaining-about-Anita-Sarkeesian-for-some-reason/wah-wah-won't-someone-think-of-the-menz stuff. It comes down to the same thing in the end - a loser in a fedora raging about women who won't have sex with him.Give it up for Saddam, everyone. The man who managed to admit he was wrong, and then immediately followed it by being wrong again!
Just watch the video already. Don't be so terrified of someone you think you might disagree based on 5 seconds of listening.

« on: March 30, 2015, 01:31:13 AM »Could you explicitly state what pieces of RE knowledge you believe are contradicting each other? All I see is a link to a Wikipedia page on gravity. I assume you are probably referring to the Galaxy spin curve, but would like to be sure.I directly linked to a section which outlines discrepancies between observation and the currently-dominant theory. The only way I could make it more explicit is by copy-pasting it here.

« on: March 30, 2015, 01:23:53 AM »I stopped watching the video five seconds in, when I realized I had been linked to a whining MRA screed. I'm sure the performance itself is very stupid, but not quite as stupid as the sexually-frustrated loser who creates a YouTube channel devoted to ranting about how bitches won't have sex with him.Ladies and gentlemen, Saddam reminding us why this kind of shit needs to continue to be called out as it happens.
No, Saddam, the channel is anything but mono-thematic, and the person you've ignored is not an MRA, unless you use that term to refer to everyone who has said anything bad about feminism ever. Which, come to think of it, you probably do.

Lauren Barri-Holstein, actress and PhD student at Queen Mary University of London, decided to show a recording of her "feminist performance art concerned with the female body" as part of an introduction to a theatre class. Many students seemed displeased:
"It was surreal. I honestly didn't know how to react. I don't think I'll ever be able to look her in the eye in person, it's just weird."
"It's not even the fact we saw her lady parts, it's the fact I literally have no idea how the clip was in any way related to this module."
"It was just so extreme and I don't understand why it was in any way necessary."
While some were okay with it:
"I understand her aim is to actively gross out the audience and challenge us, which does actually make sense."
"She's really passionate about exposing our socially ingrained expectations, so I'm going to suspend my judgement and wait until I get to know her better as a teacher."
Here's a Telegraph article providing some more detail about the story. Now, without further ado, I present to you Splat!, helpfully censored and narrated by Youtube's very own Sargon of Akkad:
Sometimes I really have doubts about my thoughts of going into academia.

Flat Earth Theory / Re: Why is the sun round?
« on: March 29, 2015, 10:28:20 PM »Did you deliberately ignore the latter half of my post where I show an example of two pieces of RET "knowledge" contradicting one another and yet being dismissed as an unknown or an "incomplete theory", or was that an honest mistake on your part? You seem to have done a lot of restating and repeating yourself (a trend for you, I see), but didn't actually address the issue.Is there really a difference between "unknown" and "untrue"? Because RE'ers sure like to conflate the two when it comes to their own theory.
There's a huge difference.
Again, 'untrue' would be if two pieces of knowledge contradicted one another.

I've long suspected that FEers were only trolls with a bad sense of humor and way too much time to waste. This ridiculous answer is good evidence of that! I at least hope that I entertained you well by taking all my posts so seriously.
Please refrain from posting personal insults and/or off-topic posting in the upper fora. This kind of behaviour will not be tolerated here with the exception of Angry Ranting and Complete Nonsense, which you may peruse should you choose to try and insult us some more. Please familiarise yourself with the rules of this forum to avoid further incidents.
Consider this post a warning. After no less than one more warning, more severe action may be taken against you.

« on: March 29, 2015, 12:41:04 PM »Most of it was the case in TBC. I don't know about vanilla since I started playing in late vanilla.the classes were all locked to specific roles
Paladin = Tank, DPS, heal
Druid = Tank, DPS, heal
Priest = DPS, heal
Warrior = Tank, DPS
Shaman = DPS, heal
But whatever, you should come heal for us in Fungal Grotto since the classes are so versatile. We could use Saddam but he mysteriously quit playing the game.
That wasn't effectively the case until Wrath.

Your question has been answered quite early on. The fact that you didn't like the answer is your own problem. If what you're interested in is ignoring our opinions and then tooting your own horn for doing so, then I'm going to have to ask you to do so outside of the upper fora.

« on: March 26, 2015, 10:51:42 PM »Just a small reminder that this post still has no answer.You will find that petty attempts at taunting us don't encourage discussion. It discourages it. The fact that you think something's been proven does very little to actually prove it, and your opinions are incredibly unimportant here.
Until then, it proves FET is false. There's a second post that does that too.

Is there really a difference between "unknown" and "untrue"? Because RE'ers sure like to conflate the two when it comes to their own theory. After all, without this basic conflation they couldn't even claim to have a working model of gravitation.
