TET is tense at the moment. That always happens when fascists decide to ruin the atmosphere.

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

I literally had to physically leave my computer and take a breather.

I'm better now. Hi guys. I'm going to be on the sidelines, because if I engage too much it'll be bad for my blood pressure.

Which cup of tea is the Holy Grail, however?

Drink from the wrong one, and die.

Good evening, fellow TETers! How are all of you?
Facts are arbitrary. Pleasure is the only truth.
I worship tea.
Here's why I prefer strength over brains- beating a computer at chess is hard, but beating a computer at kickboxing is something anyone can do.
Violence isn't the answer. It's a question and the answer is yes.

Someday, I shall meet Lian and learn the ways of Chinese martial arts, or die trying. More likely the latter, admittedly.

In pictures taken during the first congress of Golden Dawn in February 1990, the congress hall is decorated with the Swastika and the Wolfsangel.

There are many cases in which Golden Dawn members have appeared to give a Nazi salute. The founder of the party, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, appeared to give a Nazi salute in the Athens city council. He claims that it was merely "the salute of the national youth organisation of Ioannis Metaxas". The party states its logo is a traditional Greek meander, not a Nazi symbol.

In May 2012, Golden Dawn ran in Greek elections under the slogan "So we can rid this land of filth". On his post-election statement, the leader, Nikolaos Michaloliakos, had placed a marble eagle on an obvious position on his desk, which according to media reports bears similarity to the eagle of the Nazi Third Reich. After the elections, Eleni Zaroulia, a Golden Dawn MP, wore an iron cross ring during her inauguration, a symbol which has been associated with Nazism. As depicted in a picture taken on 14 September 2012, Panagiotis Iliopoulos, another Golden Dawn MP, has a tattoo reading the Nazi greeting Sieg Heil.


And some other symbols and gestures, because nazis such as Golden Dawn just cannot live without such vulgarities.

In 1990, maybe. Surely they've developed since then?

Nazi salute or Roman salute?

The "rid the land of the filth" thing hardly relates to Racism and whatnot, but sure. A marble eagle... in Greece? No way! I mean, it's not like Greeks and Romans have used those eagles thousands of years ago, before the Nazis stole them! Show me the pictures of them, instead of giving me some twisted media garbage.

I feel that way whenever I get embroiled in a vitriolic argument. I've since learned that the best way is just to avoid those sort of arguments altogether.

It's all they get to start with. They have to divide it properly first, then the man can cut wood and fish and hunt or whatnot. I'm sure a child can survive a few days with a portion of bread.

The same way an adult can maximize total growth of the next generation by feeding the child properly and expending stocked resources from fat.

You know, those resources he has naturally more of.
