Exactly. I’d speculate that they were only pissed that there was so much publicity and that they had to pay out (although they still cheated by only giving 20% to the Caltech students). Otherwise, they could totally get away mostly paying out “winners” that were either employees or relatives, like they did for years with the Monopoly contests.

What? RTFA. 2 boys were charged by the Sheriff’s department. They didn’t face any punishment from the school, but law enforcement definitely investigated.

I can’t believe nobody realizes this is Trump’s doing. He wants to Make America Grate Again.

What’s the cup barely visible on the left? I’m wondering if that one explains the gigantic taco.

You mean Green Burrito?

If the trash is not close enough to the door, that paper towel goes on the floor. I know it’s a bit rude, but every public restroom should have it close enough to do this.

I heard that motherfucker had, like, 30 goddamn dicks

Must have been doing a lot of base-12 math?

Yeah that smells different

I believe that the reason everyone is having an issue with your question - and your replies - is that you’re communicating poorly.

You seem to be inventing usages for words and terms that have well-established, widely understood meanings: “house trained” already means something unrelated to human behavior, but you seem to be using it in a way similar to “domesticated”. “Manic” is commonly associated with mental health conditions, so you being confused as to why that was mentioned doesn’t make sense when you were the one to mention mania:

Since when I experience protohuman traits such as Kill, Conquer and Reproduce. It doesn’t feel anything like what is explained or expected with Mania.

Also:

House trained (less calm (instead of more controlled)

I just can’t figure out what that is supposed to mean. Being civilized is less calm?

Regardless, to attempt to answer what I think you’re asking: these “protohuman traits” such as “Kill, Conquer, and Reproduce” were selected over millions of years of predatory competition. But once civilization became the dominant selection filter, survival was more contingent upon cooperation than domination and aggression.

Physiologically, our endocrine systems didn’t need to change, though - there’s been either not enough selection pressure or not enough time for there to be a noticeable difference in how we process various enzymes and hormones that we evolved to survive as hunter-gatherers. It simply hasn’t been necessary to our survival to “control” it.

Besides, it took millions of years and thousands of mutations across thousands of speciation events to develop that extremely complex system, and civilization has only been around for about 20,000 years, and - at most - two or three hominid species.

I was thinking the same. I’ve always had a “sensitivity” (?) to kiwi, mango, papaya, avocado, and melons (plus bananas and tree nuts when I was younger, but that seems to have disappeared). Never had an issue with latex.

I’ve been told that it is technically an allergy, but like you it’s not the kind (or at least magnitude) that will kill me - it just gives me an itchy, burning mouth and throat. I’ve never tried taking an antihistamine to alleviate the symptoms, though - I just avoid them. Don’t especially care for most of those anyway. Besides, it’s a very weak reaction so even if I do end up eating them it’s just kind of annoying.

How can I Access that kind of inspiration?

Slut!

For one thing - it’s not just one grenade. I said it 3 times: grenades. Say, scattered all around the playground and classroom.

I’m not asking who is responsible. Knowing who is responsible isn’t going to stop the ankle-biters from blowing each other - and themselves - to smithereens. It doesn’t matter who is responsible right now - first we need to stop them from exploding.

I’m asking what the better solution to the problem would be: should we try to separate the kids from the grenades, or try to teach 5-year olds the proper use and care of handheld explosives?

Let’s say we have 2 kindergarten classes, and in one of them we let them play with balls, Frisbees, and playground equipment. In the other, we let them play with balls, Frisbees, playground equipment, and grenades.

If some of these tykes get exploded, do you think it would make more sense to limit their access to the grenades, or to try to teach them how to use the grenades responsibly?

But they’re facing global condemnation. Some world leaders are furiously frowning at them!

They even have to endure CRITICISM. Can you even imagine such punishment?
