I had a conversation today that reminded me of another conversation that I had almost 20 years ago. Don’t worry, it’ll all make sense soon. The thing is, back in 2004, I thought this was an extreme reaction.
Now, it seems to be everywhere. What the hell is wrong with people today? Someone, please explain! Continue reading When Your Emotions Take Over Your Life!
It’s an old joke to be sure. “Am I fat?” You’re not supposed to be honest and say yes, yet if that’s the truthful answer, why wouldn’t you? You’re not saying it maliciously, you’re trying to save someone you care about from an uncomfortable fact when they still have time to do something about it.
At least that’s how I’ve always looked at it. Yet today, the world has gone entirely off of the rails and there are plenty of people who are only looking for validation from strangers and they don’t want the honest truth.
Well, too bad. Continue reading If You Don’t Want to Know, Don’t Ask!
I run into this a lot and I have no clue what the hell is wrong with people today. Why do people spend so much of their time online desperately searching for personal validation from complete strangers?
What the hell is wrong with you? Continue reading Enough with the Personal Validation!
I find it very difficult to even watch so-called “vegan” content because the underlying assumptions made are just ludicrous IMO. Why? Because it’s all based on people’s fee-fees and as anyone who has watched my videos knows, I don’t give a damn about your feelings, only your facts. Any argument made on the basis of “but it makes me unhappy!” is just bullshit. I absolutely don’t care, which is why things like “ethical veganism” just make me roll my eyes. That’s why I decided to take a look at an article online trying to defend it and point out all of the places that it’s just ridiculously wrong. Continue reading The Rank Stupidity of Veganism
I was thinking about this over the last couple of days, but maybe you can relate to this. Have you ever watched two theists debate? It doesn’t matter what kind of theist they are, they can share the same faith or they can be completely different, but it’s really not very impressive if you approach it from the outside.
Why is that? Here’s my explanation and why I think playing those games is ultimately pointless. Continue reading It’s Hard to be Impressed
Let’s say something that a lot of people just don’t like. You are a ball of meat. You owe your very existence to a 3-pound lump of flesh in your head. Your body is just a life support system for the meat sack that makes you who you are. If that meat gets damaged or dies, so do you.
Welcome to reality. Yet the fact remains that a lot of people get really upset when you point this very simple fact out. Why is that? Continue reading You are a Ball of Meat
I keep telling myself that I won’t respond to this because it isn’t going to change anything, but every once in a while, I have to, because this time, it wasn’t just once. I could ignore it if it was once. It was twice in a row that Matt Dillahunty lost the intellectual thread and started ranting.
Come on, can we just stop? Please? Continue reading Here We Go Again!
This is one of those things that, as I’m sure you can understand, got sparked by watching a bunch of videos over on The Atheist Experience. That should come as no surprise to anyone, but since today, as I’m writing this, is Thanksgiving, I had a lot of time, sitting around and waiting for the food to cook, so I spent it watching some YouTube videos.
Yeah, that rarely ever goes well. So let’s talk about it. Continue reading Keep Your Fee-Fees Under Control!
I’ve seen this a lot but where I’ve really started to notice it is on some of the shows put out by the Atheist Community of Austin. Most specifically, I saw a call this past week over on Truth Wanted by someone calling themselves a “sentientist” and from there, the whole thing went to hell. Continue reading Veganism: Me and my Fee-Fees!
This is something that I’ve thought for a while but could only really put into coherent words recently. Someone pointed out that it’s very similar to my 30 Second Debate Tactic so it’s been floating around out there for a very long time but hey, I’m going to try to articulate it here.
Theists, it doesn’t matter what your book says until you establish a baseline for your claims! Let’s talk about it. Continue reading Putting the Cart in Front of the God
