Aw, so you are just playing what you think are the odds (that conveniently reinforce how you want things to be, very lucky). Maybe you should have said that at the start rather rather than "science has proven that the influences of biological factors are so small as to be moot."

Aside from all the synergies with Knife Juggler, buffing creatures, and its resistance versus mass removal it's a Harvest Golem in the 2 mana slot.

Are you hitting on me?

This explanation at least makes some sense, something that has been sorely lacking up to now.

Your initial position was that everyone in science was in agreement and we were fools for disagreeing with things science had already proven. I started this whole ball of shit if you remember.

So I check back in a few days later and she's gotten even assholes like fanaskin to start reading abstracts from research papers from Standard and shit. Her initial position that there was this universal agreement among researchers in the fields of psychology, sociology, and neuroscience has...

Being able to push buttons betterisa substantial difference. Have you really watched top ranked players lane? I meanreallywatched them. People like Bjergson can take a champion like Leblanc that is a notoriously poor farmer and almost never miss a CS under pressure form their opponent while also...

Disenchant the old Jax. He's half a legendary.

Not reflexes, mechanical skill. The execution side of the game. edit since you won't fucking stop editing - Get over yourself. I haven't posted more than a few times a month in this thread since May.

Hey now, Upper plat! I was failing promos for Plat 1 pretty regularly before I stepped back. There are low diamond players in those games you know. And I've done to the silver to plat thing on multiple accounts in multiple seasons and have played from 400 Elo to 1500 Elo in S1. I've seen things...

My eyes, they won't stop rolling.

Something about how the game is put together leads me to think that it isn't relevant if the first one was silenced. edit - yeah, that was my guess

She sees a big payday and she's going to ride this thing out.

Well that is disturbing.

Does anyone want to take the position that human beingsarerational?

David didn't kill himself until he was 26 and after his brother had killed himself and after his marriage fell apart due to the strain. Do you think maybe the difficult relationship he had with his parents was the result of finding out at 13 that you've been lied to your entire life and that...

Going to bring up David Reimer again, the man who had his penis destroyed during a botched circumcision and was reassigned female at 6 months old. The theory of gender neutrality sold to them by Dr. John Money of Johns Hopkins sounded good. Gender identity is the result of social learning so...

The most ridiculous claim made in this thread is that people in the social sciences are able to agree on anything.

You act like there's this big difference between ratings. Oh man that Udyr shit may work at bronze but you just wait until you get to the top of gold. Trust me, Udyr is going to fall off like a motherfucker! It's nonsense. You know what separates bronze players and diamond players? Diamond...

I have no idea why you are such a snob.

Yep, we know all about the instincts and behavior of all of the different species and sub-species between monkey-lemur and modern civilized human because we looked at another animal that hasn't been on the same evolutionary path as us for a hundred million years. I get why we study chimps...

We don't know because our common ancestor was a monkey-lemur from a hundred million years ago. You have absolutely no idea what instincts were gained and what instincts were lost in the long fucking parade from monkey-lemur to human being and how that is the same or how it is different from the...

Mist already has a pussy. She doesn't need another one.

It doesn't count as using science to back up your stance when you just say "science says" or "science has proven" like you are quoting from the New Testament.

Here is what you need to do. You need to take every single piece of research that has started with assumption that we know what the instincts of the monkey-lemur ancestor we share with chimpanzees are because we can observe chimpanzees and stop acting like it's not just the current best guesses...

I personally don't care about the particulars of whatever opposition argument Mist feels like she's refuting. I'm trying to hit home that the very nature of this kind of research requires a great deal of assumptions to even get started. I'm not willing to accept the idea that we can say much if...

You weakening your own position by revealing the critically flawed assumptions at the foundation of your arguments actually does make the opposing argument stronger.

Time to move further west or further north.

Too much Monster, not enough The Graduate.

That guy can go fuck himself. Older women are sexy.

I wish there was a good way to make this an avatar while preserving context.

Hey, I agree! So let's start by not pretending like we know what is socially driven and what is biologically driven and acting like that there is no dispute and that all of this is bedrock science when what we are doing is comparing two species that have been on a different evolutionary path for...

You are saying flatly wrong things again. One-hundred percent completely fucking wrong things. The very idea that you can look at chimps today and say they are like our monkey-lemur ancestors from a few hundred million years ago is absurd.

Chimps have millions of years of evolution along a different path. Their closest ancestors have millions of years along a different evolutionary path. You can't come to those conclusions. At all.

Mist has gone and confused the primates of today that we can observe with the ancestors we share with those primates from hundreds of millions of years ago. We have no way of knowing what instincts were present in early humans and how those instincts changed over time. We have no way of...

No, we don't.
