I'm a fan of both, though I guess the second one isn't quite my thing—not by much. And honestly, you might be overdoing it with all those sad emojis in your posts 😁

honestly, if you were looking for me like that, I probably wouldn't come back anyway🥳

Wait, isn't a girls' night basically just the same thing—drinking, strippers, and general debauchery? 😁
I don't really see why families need to be part of that... it's not exactly what I'd call quality time, I guess. 🙂

Not really my thing, I guess.

Whoa there! I'm definitely not an elitist! 🎉

You guys are nuts. Christmas is honestly top-tier. I mean, you get presents. Presents = war. Plus, you eat massive amounts of food. Same goes for Easter. Therefore, holidays rock.

As for the Black metal party thing, sorry man, but you don't even know who Euronymus is, let alone anything deeper than that.🙄

Timothy Jones85 said:You've got this one little habit... whenever you're out of your depth in a conversation, you just pivot to relativism—like, "well, nobody really knows anything, right?" I guess that's your go-to move.😁 That’s just the kind of stalling you’re always pointing out in everyone else—I guess.🙂

Look, I’m just relativizing here—forgive me—but that's kind of the whole point of this discussion. If I don't question what you're saying when I disagree, then what are we even doing? You can't actually know if they're any happier than we are, yet you're presenting it like it's some established fact. To me, it just feels a bit pointless.

2. gayder

That counts as forum slang? I mean, sure, I guess.

Timothy Jones85—honestly, nobody knows if they're happy or even whole people, let alone you... plus, what kind of people are they anyway, using all those ridiculous nicknames you gave yourself? 😬

Regarding those species that slowly evolved over time—their only mistake was being patient, so now we just wipe them out. I mean, is it my fault a snowy owl didn't invent a gun? 🙂

😬

A diet?

Are you seriously critiquing his old man? 😁

@Timothy Jones85/">@@Timothy Jones85 — kill me now, I can't remember the title, but there’s this one book where they gathered a bunch of those weird findings... I think it had "Secret History" in the name, but I might be wrong. There, I helped. 😬

You're probably better off you didn't stay for a beer—it was a total riot that Friday.

The latest data suggests evolution might be a bit of a question mark 😉

Look, I'm not even arguing with you about how destructive people can be—that’s all fair. No need to go over it a dozen times. I just think civilization isn't purely evil, just like the animal kingdom isn't some perfect paradise. Animals tear each other apart just to survive, after all. So, what's the big win there? I don't think life would be particularly great if you were some gazelle out in the wilderness, terrified every single time you tried to grab a drink of water because a lion or a crocodile might be waiting. I wouldn't call that a win.

Rick Lee said:you're comparing apples to oranges... in nature, everything has its own niche and purpose—it’s just how things stay balanced. sheep are domestic animals, bred specifically for meat, wool, and stuff like that...

you aren't comparing apples to oranges—more like apples to your own triple-layered interpretations.😁
i'm not really sure what that has to do with anything... you mentioned lions not killing fifty antelopes when they only need to eat four, implying that humans are the ones who act differently... but I guess even a wolf would kill more than it eats sometimes. a wolf is an animal, not a person. a sheep isn't raised for a wolf to hunt, and then the wolf decides to be merciful because a human already did the work of raising it. i don't see how that works.

from a civilized perspective, it's impossible to truly grasp the brilliance of how nature functions since we've drifted so far away from it.

i don't really agree with that... i mean, humans are part of nature, so everything we create is basically a product of our own nature... plus, we're still very much living by those Darwinian laws...

Timothy Jones85 said:In the wild, you’ll never see a pride of lions kill fifty antelopes just to eat four—that’s just inefficient survival.

But then again, you definitely see packs of wolves doing exactly that to sheep. A lion isn't being "merciful" to the antelope—it's just that hunting one is hard enough, let alone fifty.
Besides, have you ever actually seen a male lion skip a meal just to feed his kids? I don't think so.

So, what exactly does someone mean by "biologically superior," anyway? 🤣

Hey frozenfox13, you didn't even mention Ten Years after—I guess you're a pretty weak rocker or something...

Just let the guy be—he’s bringing in plenty of gold as it is, yet you guys are still coming for him... Rolls-Royce

I think I get what you're getting at—analogharbor442 was telling me the exact same thing.
