I can never tell when you're trolling anymore, Will. I think it must be a function of [chat]; like how Thanatos rose to meet the perception that he hates everything, you've become some sort of arch-oldguy. Forever yelling at those damn kids to get off your lawn, not really sure if you're championing gender essentialism out of genuine belief or just to stick it to these long-haired hippie fags.
It's funny. Outside of the forum context Than is the nicest person
i mean, i don't really know why east asian people have epicanthal folds, but they do!
Well this one is a sort of catch-22 because having epicanthal folds is part of what defines you as Asian. I mean, there are plenty of people on the continent of Asia who don't have epicanthal folds, and we generally don't call them Asian.
That's sort of the point, right? There very probably are genetic markers related to intelligence but the variation in evolutionary history and environments within the ambiguous categories that are "black" and "white" make it seem pretty unlikely that there would be broad cross-racial differences.
Even moreso because, whereas sickle-cell is a trait that is a clear response to a single environmental pressure (malaria), cognitive ability relates to a tremendous variety of environmental pressures, so you would have to have broadly distinct environments (broad as in things like environments of scarcity and environments of abundance) for there to plausibly be much of a difference.
Gim Rex Ryan coaches the jets, he is a rather large man, large men have heart attacks because of poor eating. Ryan being from the northeast would not just eat regular nachos, he would eat some horrifically awful new combination, and thus Meatball Nachos were born.

it's mostly out of pique at the echo chamber this place becomes at times.
Does any group of like-minded individuals become an echo chamber? Are friends just an echo chamber? Friends ought to share something in common with one another, does that create an echo chamber? We do not agree on everything in this place, anyway.
they can but don't always.
but it always bothers me, especially when i basically agree with the consensus. it makes me feel like an uncritical asshole within a self-reinforcing circle.

I'd deep-fry 'em, too.
We should team up and serve food that no sensible person would eat, and sell it to fat people because sensibility has long sense left them. We could call our restaurant "Fuck It I'm Fat." It'd be ironic and shit.

At times the group has simply found the correct answer.
Sorry- I think you missed the point I made earlier.
Sickle cell being more prominent along traditional race lines is more of a coincidence of geography than of anything inherent to the genetic makeup of african americans
well, except that malaria is common in warm, sunny areas. that's the causal link.
yes will that is literally what I just said, or at least what I implied
what about the east asian slanty eyes thing?
i'm interested in how that fits into your position on racism.
The same way? The fact that all of these people express a similar phenotype is a function of geography and the migration of their ancestors, and doesn't necessarily say anything about these people?
I mean, you can easily say "this person looks like thiiis, that person looks like thaaat" all day. You can speculate as to why there is this physical diversity.
But when you link this physical diversity to some other trait offhand without considering other factors first (asians are better at math olol) I feel you are being dishonest, because the physical appearance is more of an anomaly than anything else.

Step 1. restaurant becomes known as a haven for obesity and bad food,
Step 2. quietly add XXS size t-shirts to sell to the young, naive, anorexic and fashionable who will be unable to resist the irony lols.
They just serve burgers and women in nurse oufits that don't fit (with mirrored floors). We wouldn't bother with that bullshit. It'd just be a pit with ridiculous food.

but there's no really obvious reason why traits like epicanthal folds and flat noses and black hair would be evolutionarily suitable from environments as diverse as korea to thailand. most likely there was either a driving genetic advantage in a region where the mother group was located for a long time (high wind or cold or sun protection or whatever else) or else they were just random but visibly obvious genetic quirks and that early humans in that region wiped out the different-looking human groups because we're kind of xenophobic like that, especially in times of scarcity.
i guess really my point here is that the acceptance of a genetic trait doesn't need to be qualified with a detailed understanding of its environmental origin in the way that arch is demanding.

It does if you are trying to ascribe anything more to it than "it exists"
And for things like differences in cognitive ability or abstract aptitudes between geographic groups, you really need a detailed understanding of all the factors involved; you can't just say "it exists"
So, I'm totally going to get sucked into the LoL thing, huh?
Like permanently free or trial-free?
God damned free (and >10€, as I'll apparently pay that) games.
It's permanently free. Basically, every week they give you a different set of free champions. You can play these guys as much as you'd like. If you'd like to have a champion permanently unlocked you can buy them in one of two ways. You can buy them via influence points which you accrue by playing the game or you can buy them with riot points which you purchase with money.
The only thing you can purchase with only money is extra costumes for champions, but those are obviously purely cosmetic.
