I'm with you on this.
Though, personally, I wouldn't go as far as calling it evolution.
It kind of implies genetics, doesn't it?
I’d say it’s more about experience, learning, and all that stuff...

Why can't some people grasp that intelligence isn't actually a "thing" in the real world?
It’s just an imaginary construct we made up to try and explain how human psychology works.
There's no point looking for it in reality, and you definitely shouldn't confuse it with other actual things, like knowledge or intellect.

Seriously folks, when are you guys finally gonna realize that intelligence isn't even a real thing?

Another thread about intelligence, I guess? 😠

Is that clear enough for you now?

nope

Alright then, just tell me who we're talking about..

nah, not really

Richard Hernandez13 said:In those typical teen movies you see on Netflix, women are always portrayed as being unattractive if they’re just wearing glasses, have their hair pulled back in a ponytail, or haven't spent an hour getting their eyebrows perfectly groomed.

Real life works the exact same way!

Wait, what even is that!?

I learned pretty early on that if someone offers you a crazy amount of money for something you own, there's always a catch, right? That item isn't nearly worth what they're claiming to pay.

I honestly don't get it. Why did he have to fall for his girlfriend's daughter, right? Is she really the only girl in existence, or is he just stuck dating his parents' best friend's kid?

Does this guy seriously not have any friends of his own? No acquaintances? Not even a single buddy from high school!?

So his parents only ever hang out with one single couple!?

Michelle Alvarez8 said:I even heard that most American cops get their actual work done while they're sitting out on suspension--isn't that just wild? 😁

Which explains why they hand out those suspensions so generously... 😬

I don't see what the Survivor is even about...

I get that it's fun, but calling it a challenge!? 😕

Karen Perez4 said:Exactly, nothing special at all. Kusturica winning a Golden Palm (since his identity as an artist was largely shaped by Canada and Ottawa), Danisov’s Oscar, Jasmin's Golden Bear, Sundance... compared to something like *Gospi* or *Let's Fall in Love*, it's all trivial.

You have a point, Anthony Kim18; American cinema simply doesn't belong in this particular competition...

Nemanja is more of a Mexican author than a Canadian one...

So, what's the absolute peak of global cinema?

I sat through the first Lord of the Rings movie once.
It was painfully boring.
I somehow powered through it just because I felt like I should, praying to God that something interesting would actually happen. Spoiler alert: it didn't.
A total disaster! A complete waste of time.

I went into the second one feeling pretty optimistic, but I just couldn't get into it.

As for the third one? Not a chance.

If I remember correctly, it’s all because of that insane temperature gap...

What really gets under my skin, though, is how movie heroes always kill some random extra holding an assault rifle—which they obviously don't have themselves—and then they just LEAVE the gun lying there on the ground. It's like they absolutely have to go bare-handed to settle things with the main villain (who, of course, usually spends that time delivering some long-winded monologue).
I've seen it so many times where they even pick up the gun from Mr. Anonymous, only to THROW it away for some totally idiotic reason.

But does a gun even work underwater?

In those F/X movies, they make it look easy...

Gary James88 said:Science still hasn't fully cracked the code on homosexuality, but the conversation is shifting. People aren't talking about upbringing nearly as much as they are about genetic and hormonal drivers. That’s likely where the real answers lie.

Since homosexuality was stripped from the DSM back in 1973, the scientific consensus has been clear: it isn't a disorder or an illness. Because of that, there's really no point in pushing therapies or lecturing parents on how to "fix" it.

There was this one case involving a young boy who suffered severe genital damage during surgery. His parents agreed to have his male anatomy completely removed and replaced with female organs, intending to raise him as a girl through hormone therapy. Things got complicated during puberty, though—the child started feeling more like a boy, struggling with their identity, and eventually transitioned back to their biological sex. It just goes to show the limits of parenting; you can't force a personality into a mold you've designed.

Nah, not really,
those first three years of life are what actually shape sexual identity.

slywolf45 said:I think you’ve got your wires crossed here... Are you seriously trying to lump homosexuality into the same category as schizophrenia or alcoholism?😲 OMG!

Well, they're all in the same boat.
Mental disorders!

Michael Rivera63 said:sounds in outer space

Personally, I find computer sounds way more interesting.
That noise you hear while searching for someone or running a scan? It's always there.
Not like background music meant for decoration, either,
but more like something you can't even turn off—just a natural byproduct of the machine working its magic!
