Che. Nah, just getting one defeats the purpose. Thanks for th'offer, though

So, uh. Giant archer-type isn't viable? That's the thought that's tempting me, currently.

... of course, I haven't actually played any yet, so...

Mostly-bumping to say I'm back from nap and the room's up. We gots one fellow, but more would be nice

E: Out for a bit for some self-maintenance (food, etc.). Back. in... probably 45 min to an hour.

E2: Annnd shutting down for the night, I think. Got some bandwidth/comp resource other!stuff I want to do before sleep, tonight. Will try again tomorrow!

I don't get it.

Look up.

And there's a point where you're verifying so much that it becomes impossible to progress a discussion. For example, can you give me some statistic on how often things that make sense don't hold true when tested

Often enough that we've had years of scientific progression "Oh shit, logical deduction based on previously accepted axioms failed in the face of reality" is pretty much one of their major kickoff points. It's especially common in the social sciences, yeah, though a lot of that is due to how young the field is.

If you'd like something more grounded in logic, the rebuttal would be that 'people enjoying heterosexual sex' doesn't necessarily entail 'will have more children.' Pretty much nobody enjoys birth (Debilitating, incredibly painful, and possibly deadly, especially in the past.), after all, so avoiding procreation while having sex is pretty high on a lot of peoples lists, and has been for a very, very long time. All you get from 'people enjoy sex' is that 'people will have more sex if possible' (assuming the axiom that people seek what they find enjoyable; something that isn't always true), not that they'll breed more. You also seem to be ignoring that social pressure to reproduce may be capable in itself to keep the homosexual population reproducing enough, assuming that the presumed genetic trait stays strictly within homosexual individuals (which I'm fairly sure pretty much no one has basis to claim. Implicit: And no be pulling it out of their proverbial arse.). If the trait is recessive or rides on something else within the larger population, reproduction within the homosexual population is entirely likely to be completely irrelevant.

What I'm basically saying is, that while what you're saying may follow logically, you're making jumps you can't back up without unfounded conjecture. Considering you're making testable claims, that's kind of a deathblow for what you're proposing.

For some subjects there are simply no available studies. So unless you're gonna finance one, we have to settle for conjecturewaiting until there is one.

Incidentally, I've shifted that for you. When we're talking things that can influence policy or peoples actions in very meaningful ways, that's the direction you need to go.

If there's not this honking huge list of games once you set the list (More or less in th'middle of the main window, below the 'Welcome to GameRanger!' banner) to 'all games,' then you're probably experiencing technical difficulties

E:
E2: I'm back, and th'room's going active now.

Well, I'm not currently hosting. About 3 1/2 hours from now. The room only stays up while there's someone actually in it. I'll throw one up for you to see if it works, quicklike.

E: Going to just leave it up, but I'm not actually there. Pass is same as earlier.
