Why this of course. Took you five whole days to show back up again.

Oh don't give me that. You fucking never bother to track anything down on any topic. The one time the stars aligned you misread what you were citing and hid for a week.

You know what, you've fucking lost your science privileges. You've been using the phrase "science has shown" like a priest talks about Jesus. "Jesus tells us that it is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle etc. etc. etc." I bet if I went back and took a drink every time you...

You don't really understand my point. There was a time when there wasn't anything special thought of breast milk. Scientists didn't find any evidence it had additional benefits. Not finding evidence of its benefits is different than finding evidence it has no benefits but the one was treated...

Have you considered Mist's position that no, no they do not? That the only trait passed on is that boys copy men and girls copy women?

I just want to go back to this earlier statement at the start of the day where you plainly stated that there are significant differences in the older areas of the human brain between genders at birth and now you've said that there are some differences even at birth in the more recently evolved...

The human brain is solved. Everyone pack it up.

It's a soft science that people like Mist have latched on to as a means with which to upend society. It's all fine and dandy to have a conversation on a message board but she would put base legislation on her opinions. She's dangerous and she doesn't care who would be hurt provided others...

Wait, what? If they did default to modeling female behavior than they would not end up lost and aimless in young adulthood? That's absolute gibberish. We learn different things from each parent and when one is absent and there are no substitutes the child suffers. Taking up the gender traits of...

Wizards are the stronger overall class with a more useful better caster stat (Int) and better spell progression. The slightly better class skills and slightly better non-weapon proficiencies don't balance out getting your next level of spells one level later. The Wizard always has their new...

I'm not getting my list, am I.

Can I have a list of the sexually divergent behaviors that are not learned through societal forces?

Masculine traits exist that when passed down to a female offspring are not expressed.

It's a science word. Don't question it. Youpriv.

You keep taking the position that all of our behavior is learned in society. I'm pointing out behavior that objectively is not learned behavior. Behavior that is not learned exists in the animal kingdom and the human race is not separate from it. And you yourself said that the more primitive...

You sound positively Catholic when you take the position that biological differences between genders are a thing found only in the lesser animals.

Who teaches the freshly hatched turtle to seek the shore? How does the salmon know to return to its spawning ground? Who instructs the spider how to balloon?

Oh man, I know that playbook. Tanoomba! Did you hack Mist's account? YOU AREN'T OVER AT HER PLACE ARE YOU Our genetics impact out behavior. The traits that successful males passed on and the traits that successful females passed on are not the same. Men and women are not the same. If we...

The decisions we make today are molded by the decisions of our successful ancestors and the traits that they passed on to us. But I can understand why you find such an idea disturbing. The knowledge that your little cunty habits and mannerisms won't be passed on to a new generation of women...

Where as entering a highly competitive field with substantial monetary rewards may be massively advantageous for a male when it comes to passing on one's genes the exact opposite is true for a woman. The women throughout history that were of that mindset were just less likely to sire a bunch of...

You are trying to use "small differences" to also include small outcomes from those differences and then blaming everything else on society.

Look, we really think we've got something here when it comes to women not going into engineering and we are going to bring this up over and over and over again as proof of something something.

That would be great if I was confusing genes with DNA and wasn't instead pointing out a situation where a whole gigantic ton of similarity leads to incredibly different outcomes. What if the difference between the male and female mind is 2%? AW SHIT Wakandan

You think that the higher-level cognitive regions of the brain are the only regions that have a say in occupational choices. We're walking around with the person part of our brain stuck onto our ancestor's monkey brain stuck onto their ancestors lizard brain. Those higher-level cognitive...

Maybe you want to give that post another try? edit, there you go

No shit. She admits there are plain physiological differences in the brain between men and women but chooses to simply behavior down to "boys do what men do and girls do what women do." How genetically similar are humans from bonobo chimpanzees? Super super similar? Like we share 99% of...

Bro, do you even know how genes work? The man's genes don't only go into the male babies...

The release schedule bothers me. The PHB has an MSRP of 50 fucking dollars and all the core books have a staggered release. With 4th I just bought a boxed set of the three core rulebooks day one and was good to go. Having no Monster Manual basically forces the DM to buy the first module or there...

The silly text aside this is a picture of a peacock and a peahen. Males are selected based on their plumage and even subtle differences can be the difference between a successful mating season and no dice. Peacocks don't only pass on their genes to male eggs/chicks but to females as well...

I find the arguments made by evolutionary psychology far more convincing than that pile of bullshit. On top of that are you aware how badly you really throwing all of the transgender people under the bus with that? Let's talk briefly about David Reimer for a moment. At 7 months his penis was...

Men tend pick careers based on dollars. Women less so. We've got the entirety of human history where a male's chances to pass on genes are tied to his value/usefulness. Some of that is genetic and some of it is social. There. Engineering gap explained. No amount of funding is going to make...

Fuck all that noise. Just pull it out.

Yes. He's Mecha Graves. He's the Graves that was built out of pieces of lesser Graveses.

Oh. HEY EVERYONE LOOK OVER HERE

Chapstick in the washer isn't so bad. Chapstick in the dryer is u fucked.

The Rock blew up a bunch of people during promos. It was just something that happened. It may have sucked for Jeff Jarrett and Al Snow and everyone else that got destroyed but I wouldn't have it any other way. I've been following The Attitude Era Podcast for a while now and it's pretty...

It's good to see that Sting is financially sound. I had worries that being a well paid wrestler in TNA was akin to being a well paid fry cook at McDs. It wasn't even just the one bad bump that wrecked Hart. There is zero doubt that Goldberg mangled him (and badly) but he may have recovered...

He wrestled Mean Mark Callous (Taker's NWA/WCW gimmick) at least once so sorta? I like Sting. I'd like to see him get a real run in the WWE and get some decent paychecks for a change.

Beneath the Planet of the Apes, Escape from the Planet of the Apes, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes, and Battle for the Planet of the Apes, are all mediocre to bad milking endeavors themselves so why get all uppity about the rebooted franchise? There was also a TV showanda cartoon series for...

Is that one of those charts that is using numbers obtained through different calculations at different times but is acting like it isn't?
