I’m associated with the atheist/skepticism community, in my area, and luckily the core attendees of our pub meetups (for science and critical thinking discussion... ironically, over critical thinking-impairing alcohol... haha) are pretty cool and aware that there is a huge problem with the larger community and its…

‘well you did [such and such] to our friend too’

Why do guys do this? I see it come from MRAs a lot, to justify shitty male behaviour (they also think they’re superior, with their hack knowledge of logical fallacies, as if no woman is a skeptic who also knows many of those fallacies, and far better than them. *Ahem*…

Can I share my silly cat toy craft story? I saw a story about a kitten who loves to play with pom poms. I thought that’s so cute! So I made my cat a pom pom. We could be internet famous! I told him. He has zero interest in the pom pom.

You mean my boyfriend Ben Fogle.

Yeah, but let’s hope this abomination does not actually get passed, whatever the political benefits to the Democratic Party. It’s nothing like a normal healthcare bill, it’s a generous tax cut for the very wealthy, disguised as a healthcare bill. Hundreds of thousands of people will be ruined. And some, maybe a lot,…

“Give him...THE COMFY CHAIR!!”

It’s unfortunate that Marine Le Pen is going to exploit their suffering.

Well this wasn’t Broadway or anything, but it was pretty fun community theatre that we performed in a church. We actually had a little family with elementary school aged kids come in on Mother’s Day thinking it was “a” cabaret and they were gone halfway through Wilkommen haha.

Spencer ain’t having a good week...

In the age of Trump there are two expressions, hair on fire and doubling down, and one word, unprecedented, that I would like to see disappear from the lexicon. Surreal is on thin ice.

No lie, that sounds like Donald Trump tweeting from Deeley’s account.

All day I’ve been reading the Tomi Lahren headlines as, “Woman Lies Down With Dogs, Gets Fleas”

Exactly

A lot of the comments seem to be to the effect of “omg UK police state sux” but the reality is you have to be pretty careless to amass the 12 points that lead to a ban. At least we don’t jail people for minor infractions... http://jalopnik.com/never-speed-in-virginia-lessons-from-my-three-days-in-1613604053

Hi Miles. I live in the UK. I’m British. I’ve lived here all my life. I’ve been through this system. It’s official, public police documentation on how to implement the law.

No matter how much you bleat “it’s not the law”, it’s the law of the land. It’s how the law is policed.

Learn how to lose an argument with some…

People *in the US* get more lenient penalties for DUI accidents, than people *in the UK* get for speeding in a residential zone.

The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) issued revised speed enforcement policy guidance in 2013. It suggests that enforcement will normally occur when a driver exceeds the speed limit by a particular margin. The particular margin is normally 10 per cent over the speed limit plus 2 mph. The guidance sets…

It should, I agree, but that’s not how it works everywhere in the world. This just in: different countries have different laws.

No sympathy, if she had 9 points across two previous offences then one of them must have been a significant amount over the limit to be awarded the full 6 points.
