Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

They do a mean opening, though.

So they blew up the lab in Russia and the CDC? Because those are the only two places with smallpox in the world.
That was a bad deal Skippy.
It's extremely unfair and sad that it's future generations who will suffer due to climate change and loss of biodiversity, and not the people of the present day who didn't give a shit.
(the joke is that smallpox has already been eradicated
those aliens swindled me!)
That's actually inaccurate, Couscous, quantity of surviving offspring isn't necessarily better than having the survivingest offspring. Really a better measure might be how many offspring your offspring have and how many offspring your offspring's offspring have and so on so forth, but even that doesn't account for the fact that technically you're evolutionarily successful if you have one offspring that is like totally indestructible and it has one offspring that is totally indestructible. Or hell, you could reel that back to just surviving infinitely, because if you can do that you're as effective as any replicator at passing your genetic information on into the future.
But the real answer is that there actually isn't a "point" to life. We talk about genes metaphorically like they're intentional and goal-oriented but they are oblivious to the whole evolutionary fitness thing too. It is literally a case of "shit happens because it was most likely" or in some cases not even the most likely, so it could probably be reduced to "shit happens".
*shakes head*
give me some credit
Wikipedia says that it was almost eliminated by road crews twice.
You'd think they would have flagged the area and warned future crews or something.

I mean, you just killed my dog, you had it coming.

OH SHIT THAT PUPPY IS CUTE SCHEDULE THIS ROCK FOR ASSIMILATION*
Actually over simplification of the actual issues with biodiversity, extinctions and damage to the planet.
Lets say the Developed world decided to go green and magically did. That leaves the majority of the world who hasn't. There are no magic bullets. Hell even with the improvements in the world in the recent 50 years in development indexes convincing people to change how they act is near impossible when it comes to vaccines in many areas.
Also Kagera is trolling you.
I have to see if I have Civ5 installed on this computer, but if so I am down.
I'm just the dealmaker
Our dogs are pretty good.
I should, you do have the dulcet tones of an NPR radio personality.
That dog shed like a mofo.
I am skippy flatow, and this is science chat
It's on a somewhat steep slope that is directly alongside the road. It's just a terrible spot.
It's actually amazing that it's the last spot. It had a substantial range in Northern California at one point in the past. Yet somehow, it was wiped out everywhere except one amazingly shitty location.
If Kagera is merely trolling me, he should be aware that he trolls me just like this often enough that my opinion of him is that he is... heh.
Lets just say that I don't care for him.
-edit-
Oh also, the apologist stance of "We can't possibly fix these problems so lets just not bother." is also awful. It's the last resort of the so-called climate change "skeptics" when they are losing a debate badly.
"Oh well then clearly it's so bad that there's nothing we can do to fix it so why change."
the oldest tree in the world maybe?
and it was like out in the middle of the desert with no other trees around it
and then someone crashed their car into it
Can't wait for Obama to try and take muh Gunz. Woof.
That is a very nice compliment.
Bet it has something to do with a tape worm.
Limp dick.
I...I assume.
