Fuck apartments and living like sardines altogether. Especially if they're towers. Fucking ant minds like that shit.

Another name for your crotch area. Kind of archaic, but lives on in the Armour item we call the codpiece.

Let them pray for manna from their sky buddy who supposedly loves them most. Bit let no human raise a finger or send a penny to support them. Let the parents of starving babies hunt and eat the Taliban.

Reply to Do we know if any other species has a minority with ‘abnormal’ social cues/behavior, such as what we would regard as neurodiversity in humans? by platonic-humanity
Yes, behavioral as well as physical differences are grist for the selective mill. I think socio-sexual selection has been seriously downplayed and overlooked. If someone is acting weird, you might not want to breed with them. If the behaviou4 set cones with physiochemical cues, it makes avoidance that much easier.
If the minority nevertheless manages to thrive and populate just enough to prefer hanging and mating with each other, and stop mixing with the parent group, then you have a new race, which might become a new species one day if the two groups drift genetically far enough away from one another to have sterile babies.

Yeah, the series after Where Are You, with all the weird celebrity guests. Also had Carol Channing, and the Harlem Globetrotters

Reply to If aliens make first contact, what academic specialties should make up a 5-person team to study/interact with them? by Yesberry
Ethologist for sure, not just a "biologist", or a psychologist whose head is stuck exclusively up human ass.

You have access to agricultural products now. Leave the wild alone.

Hunting culture can die in the same historical dumpster as slaver cultures.

Are "Natives" still allowed to profit from their deaths in the name of disgusting, obsolete "culture"? Maybe it's time to stop the racist special dispensation, then.

They know they can use it as a big bad buzzword that might get a few simpletons excited about their cause.

Reply to is it the case that poisonous animals tend to be colourful and if so why is it that they tend to evolve to be colourful moreso then other animals? by HumbleProdiGenius
As predators learn the difference between lookalike poisonous and non-poisonous races/species, the difference in the poisonous ones might become more pronounced (the less different ones being mistaken for harmless more often). See how the Samurai Crab came to be.

They also had to endure more people around them dying if accidents and disease, and also a higher child mortality rate. They were closer to death, saw it more often.
