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!

When really stoned me and some other peeps came up with the perfect place for world peace.
We find an average guy and give him a secret remote control. If he pressed the button on this remote control it will trigger every nuclear weapon on the planet assuring everyone's demise.
Basically everyone would go out of their way to be reaaaalllly nice to each other because no one would want to accidentally blow up the world.
Also, I think everyone's gotten over their minecraft crush. I see little changes you've made... but doesn't look like anyone else logs in.
me too
It's not justified. At all. I can explain to you why and in detail, but only if you are interested in hearing it.
......yeah.........
my locker is fucking tight and our room is p okay
so tomorrow it'll take like half an hour to make everything perfect
or porn, as we say
come with me, bro
I'm not a biologist, I've only taken high school biology and brushed up on a few things relating to mitosis in the past few years but aren't both those options silly? Evolution tends to act on a chemical level where shit goes "wrong" either accidentally or by pressure of conditions and if it turns out to be a successful mutation, it spreads through the gene pool by survival of the fittest.
Whether that is expressed as a phenotype, a new gene, a deleted gene, lots of deleted genes, activation of previously inactivated shit, promotion, whatever... That part seems irrelevant; it all falls under the same umbrella of evolution.
So, are you doing mandatory military service or something?
i like zen a lot
he is like preacher
just ignore what he says and pat him on the head
and let's be honest, everyone on this forum is a dick anyway
dick dick dick dick
Man, I'm not sure Fartacus was actually being racist. I thought we established that he's white; being as he's white, and was talking about white people, I wouldn't say that makes him racist. It might make him full of shit (I wouldn't go that far, actually), not not racist.

Once it does, I'm in.
For two classes.
In related news, would anyone perhaps like to buy one of my plump and succulent kidneys?
NYC back then, finding a white pimp was like finding a charizard in your booster pack when you were a kid
They exist, but that shit is rare
This is why I love my archaeology classes cause most of the time we just read journal articles that you get online.

Wait, do you genuinely think it was racist that I said college white kids generally consider crack, heroin, and meth to be the "dirty" or "hard" drugs?
Really?
You of all people?
It is a bit more nuanced than that, and the distinction is somewhat important to how some research is carried out.
Ultimately I really feel it is completely silly to separate it into an either/or, as both genotype AND phenotype are acted upon by natural selection at different times and in different ways to produce diversity and novelty, but the medial stance is generally not publicized. When forced to pick I choose phenotype over genotype as the unit upon which selection acts.
what monster patch?
if you mean for monsters to work in SMP, Thanny, they do
they have for a couple weeks now
SMP is identical to single-player except there's no Nether
natch
What do you think? Seems to me that selection wouldn't be granular enough to act on genes; an expressed trait is going to be the deciding factor, regardless of the genetic precursors.
vegan kidneys..ehhhhn.
I'll pass.
It's a white baby kidney.
Only slightly used.
$400, please.
It must be a glitch because it's in the protected spawn area. I took the doors off for a while but then monsters kept roaming in!
The minecraft crush has largely ended, yeah. People log in on occasion but leave quickly once they notice the hMod commands are gone (RIP hMod). I'm gonna post the world files this weekend and probably close up the server. It's getting to be a pain to keep running 24/7 when not many people are using it.
the pimp was expanded into a real role solely for Harvey Keitel
Gotta mark your territory.
yeah and he's not even talking about the actual argument
he's talking about before the argument when i said white kids at college frown on crack, heroin, and meth
like
what
You can have self-hating Jews. Self-hating blacks. Why can't you have white people who are chronically disgusted with whiteness in general? You know, Dances with Wolves-itis.
And said pimp was a black dude in the original script, if I recall.
Ok. I... I'm gonna have to go check that out, in context.
Because, uh... seriously, there was some whiny bullshit going on, if that was what sparked the whole thing.

I mean, I'm awesome, but most white people fucking suck.
Way to keep up with events there, guys.
oh brett <3
/swoon
Aw. Ah well.
Whelp, I'll probably continue to poke around occasionally for as long as it is there.
I built a quick little bunker immediately in front of the house that anybody is welcome to use, and started something a little more permanent down at the end of the beach.
It's more that you made generalized statements about an entire group of people based on your limited interaction with them. You use "white people" as a stand in for the small group you've met and then transpose that to them all. All the white kids I knew in college if they did any drug it was pot and that was it.
This statement combined with your laughable other views is about as joking as rush limbaugh speaking on any minority. You clearly don't like white people, you couch it in a joke but it isn't funny, it won't be funny, because frankly you're a fucking racist.
It is hard for me to describe the central disagreement in simple terms.
So, I'll frame it like this: group selection, though I know this isn't exactly what Arch is getting at.
So, group selectionists think that a trait may evolve into a population of animals because it benefits the survival of the entire population of animals. Say, food sharing. If one of the animals shares his food with all of the rest of them, his particular genetic fitness will go down, but the entire population's fitness will go up. If the group is the unit of selection, then selective forces will cause this trait to appear.
Now, if the gene is the unit of selection, then no matter what a trait won't get selected for unless it enhances the fitness of the gene itself. So a food sharing trait like that would never get selected for just because it increases the fitness of the group. The trait would only get selected for if it benefited the fitness of the gene, because the selective pressure is felt on the gene and not the population.
EDIT:
Or, you could look at other levels, like if the organism is the unit of selection, or if the phenotypic expression of the gene is the unit of selection, etc.
