Null, if you think Clinton is one of the most corrupt politicians possible, you really don't live in the US. As maniac (and others) has noted repeatedly, if clinton's "scandals" are the worst they can (try to) pin on her, she's basically spotless insofar as american politicians go.

11927
Hey, what can you do? Clinton made Voltaire's Prayer, and God granted it. Blame the GOP or God.

The day that happens is the day I actually go through with trying to burn the country to the ground.

Ah, a method I wasn't aware of, neat.

... have you considered asking Toad to sticky a link to that and/or host it, ree?

11930
So far as I'm aware, the only way those things go away is if the boss toad deletes the thread :V

The nose is stupid connected to a lot of stuff, really, and coughing hard tenses up... a lot of stuff. So yeah. Feedback.

Maybe that's what jif's been doing this whole time?

Or at least, for the love of zeus and lower resolutions, spoiler the image.

Dismissal by other factors in 3...2... oh, wait. Ninja'd.

Gale force winds and apparently a couple tornado touch downs already, here in florida, ha. Breezy weekend. No snow, obviously, as you northerners could tell by the lack of winged flying pigs, frozen hellfire blizzards, or notable uptick in demon tourism.

Part of me wonders how florida's going to deal with tornado shelters if this ends up being a thing alongside the hurricanes. Other places, you dig down, have basement and whatnot. Florida, you dig down, there's water. Among a few other concerns. Underground construction in general is a thing that happens to other states, ahaha...

I don't think they stuck around after the battle, but the province is still mine, dood.
... well, fair warning, I already sent something to snipe it for the giggles, so if someone else didn't beat me to it, ahaha...

... also entirely too lazy tired to resubmit the turn over it. If the throwaway does nab it, I'll just leave it undefended, heh.

If you like fairly fast paced platformers, it's definitely worth two fifty. Probably more, t'be honest, but at that price it's about as close to a steal you can get without actually stealing it.

That's literally how natural selection works, man. We embody it. We can practice natural selection as we go along.

My point is that humans practice natural selection when we build tools and devices.

We, ourselves, select for evolutionary advantages that other species have to breed and die for over millenia.
We don't, though, when it comes to technology and whatnot. It's a very different sort of iterative development than what we tend to do with tools. Natural stuff is much more incremental, less directed, etc. They're both, broadly speaking, iterative development, sure, but to call human technological development anything like natural selection is... not particularly accurate. We're not doing some kind of accelerated form of it, we're doing something rather different as a whole.

Last I checked, we've actually only recently started doing anything that looks like natural selection, via computer driven autonomous design programs, and similar systems. S'made a few neat things, even.

... yeah, humans haven't really changed much, physically (including the brainmeat), since the stone age. We're still largely the same critter. The rapid technological/methodological development had... very little to do with the human physical form, and most everything to do with our already-there abilities letting us transfer information intergenerationally effectively enough we rather rapidly (in a evolutionary sense, anyway) built the tools that built the tools, as the formulation goes. Natural selection had already selected for the change being discussed, it was just the sort of thing that had delayed effect, building upon itself over time. No natural selection required, that bit was already pretty much done, so far as getting what we do now done.

Oh wow, that brown flag. Now that's something you don't see very often. Neat!
