How about fucking no.

Theocratic dictatorship. One of the 13 spouses of the ruler over a city-state overthrew her husband. She secretly keeps him alive, as he was the the warlock-patron of the spouses. She funnels his power through the cage and redistributes it to her co-spouses, lying about the power source.

The city is bellicose and subjugates its people, restricting magic use to the royalty and court officials. It’s trying to take over other neighboring city-states.

Three of her co-spouses escaped her wrath, but she can’t exactly filter to whom she releases the patron’s power. They’re mounting a revolt and amassing power.

He’s not wrong. BRICS was a response to our hegemony. He’s just politicizing it and making it look evil.

Brasil, Russia, India, China, South Africa. It makes sense for them to ally with one another.

If the drop response was paired against retaining the offspring, and if the drop response coded genetically, more survivors would result potentially for several reasons: predator would be distracted by the discarded offspring and less likely, but the reduced weight burden.

So, making shit up.

Do you know this from reading it somewhere or are you just making shit up because it makes you feel better?

Oh, no! Consequences for their actions! Anyway…

I hope this is a trend.

Hah, seriously. I am really good at running along rocks for some reason. I was sprinting around a point so I didn’t have to sleep on a stinky beach. Ended up under an eagle’s nest. Woke up and harvested mussels and made them for breakfast.

I know. But this just leads to a dog pile on Lemmy. It already started. It’s impossible to discuss human evolutionary biology without emotions getting involved for exactly the reason you stated.

Because bad faith actors co-opted the language for their subverted messaging, it’s just a wash.

Christ. I forgot that it’s impossible to speak about science online. I didn’t once insinuate that line of thinking.

Fuck this thread. I’m deleting it.

My ex would say, “that rules like anarchy.” Cute.

“Ed Wilson”

More commonly known as E. O. Wilson in his publications. Highly important scientist. Postulated that humans are eusocial creatures similar to ants, termites, seahorses, and naked mole rats because we follow a hierarchical pecking order.

Read his book “The Social Conquest of Earth” if this intrigues you.

Plot Twist: the solar panels displace the trees and cause widespread issues with local flora and fauna.

Crazy. I live in Seattle. Normally we snag in September… I will see if I can find them in my spots when I get home from Mexico in a month.

Amazed you’re getting chants midsummer. Where on the globe are you?

That squid is cosplaying as an octopus.

We live in a dumb world.

Vote choice should never, ever be a reason for banning, unless it’s a brigade. Most of the time, there are too many variables, nuance, or other things to consider that we can’t see. Without commentary, who can truly understand the full meaning behind a vote?
