I'm not saying they were wrong to shoot the soldiers, not at all. I'm saying, in a show where every character agonizes over every decision with long teary heartfelt speeches, it doesnt make sense they're all like "yeah I can pull this trigger with no hesitation and lets never even discuss it"...

no there is not a simple threshold that defines the line, in part because these processes vary so much between different groups. its defined more by reproductive isolation: evidence that two populations are not interbreeding to any meaningful extent (little to no "gene flow" between them)...

eh, "Old warrior protecting and training a daughter figure" isnt inherantly woke. Both Robin Hood and the girl appear to be white. Neither one appears to be gay or otherwise degenerate. It may turn out to be shit, but I call this progress in casting.

No one in actual biology has taken the "biological species concept" seriously for probably a hundred years. Sterile offspring doesnt factor into the distinction. Species are defined by genetic divergence plus reproductive isolation. Thats it. Dave Hillis is just doing some weird troll in that...

And there was never even any discussion about "maybe we shouldnt kill these people, who are just Americans doing their jobs and just trying to capture us, not kill us" No hesitation. These high school kids and a small town sheriff had no hesitation whatsoever about just murdering all of them...

youre right to call out that scene. it perfectly exemplifies why that director sucks so much. he turns everything he touches into a shitty modern cartoon. he takes world famous actors and million dollar special eeffects and produces a fucking childrens cartoon. it really just shows his...

Yes but the Hillis guy is explicitly rejecting the idea that genetic differences and reproductive isolation are enough to call it a different species. Hes literally doing the "if they can breed in a zoo theyre the same species" thing, embracing a strawman for some kind of shock value or something.

I dont exactly know where to put this, but this thread is where I generally put it when scientists say absolutely retarded things. https://whyevolutionistrue.com/2026/01/04/neanderthals-are-homo-sapiens/ A few thoughts. Buried deep in this reasoning is a recognition that the other races people...

I do blame them. I just blame the people who built them system, and the dumb shits who just happily went along with it, too.

Yes, login.gov is where I saw this. Your explanation covers why it started, it doesnt begin to explain why a single person complied with this. Ranting again at the cunts who set it up and the cucks that complied - people who havent read or understood scifi shouldnt be allowed to make decisions...

To be clear, I didn't encounter this while looking for porn. And I'm not trying to say I'm better than that or don't look at porn or something. Just clarifying. The most recent was a government motherfucking website. What makes me angriest about it is the fact that its spreading means that...

A couple times now this has happened: Try to create account "Take a selfie and upload a picture of your ID to continue" Is this real life? Which dystopian nightmare future did I wake up in?

I didn't say it made sense, I can't pretend to understand why it is that way. Maybe its that they have surplus babies in need of adoption so they're motivated to make it easier / cheaper. All I know is they pursued it in multiple states and that was the best option all 4 times.

The key to adopting is understanding that you don't need to adopt from an agency in your own state. My parents adopted 4 of my brothers and sisters. All out of state. They lived in a state that made adoption bullshit so they adopted out of Illinois. One of my adopted brothers has stayed in...

I get the frustration at the slow pace but I don't get it after the finale. Its moving slow but its moving. That south american dude with the name I can never remember is great. As far as I can see S1 is his origin story. I dunno, maybe they'll go all Lost in S2 like eight fucking years from...
