And also, relatively higher human intelligence is not selected-for. Once one gets a bit above average intelligence (for either gender), the smarter one is, the less likely one is to breed.
So, a gene that keeps one's intelligence limited to normal levels will have a selective advantage.
Ok, but while that may be the case for the past few generations, it doesn't change the fact that for thousands of years of human evolution, higher intelligence has been a good thing. It's what got us to the top of the food chain.
The whole Drain The Swamp mantra did not start with Donald Trump.
No but we all know that Mexicans are rapists. From there it's no big intuitive leap to New Mexicans are rapists. Guilt by association, I'm afraid, means Arizonians must be rapists too. We need your DNA and we should probably build a wall around Arizona while we're at it.
They MUST believe in the flat earth, because no matter who you talked to or how byzantine and strained the rationalizations, it all came back to - in their minds - proof of God.
I find it hard to take a cosmological model seriously if it can be disproved by a shovel.
Now Democrats are protesting AGAINST job creation... That's a first.
Those jobs will still be created, they'll just be created somewhere other than Queens. And anyway, aren't you Trump supporters supposed to hate Amazon too?
It's because unless you live in a city or have been to college, the only exposure you've had to diversity is when you went to jail or went to certain neighborhoods to buy drugs.
Dubya never had an annual deficit over a half-trillion dollars, Obama rarely had an annual deficit less than one trillion dollars.
Well, Obama had to bail out the banks that Dubya let dump on the economy.
So the ten-year 'cost' of Trump's tax cuts is $1TN, so what? That's $100BN/yr, and it stimulated the economy.
Did it? Corporations are back to laying of workers again and any "stimulation" of the economy is over.
Tax cuts, however, are still in effect, just snowballing the debt.

You should demand that your local politicians fix the courts. Then you can have nice things again.

Well, for one thing, HIV resistance has only been useful since the 70s.

Yes, obviously they are popping up all over the "plane".

Or maybe we can use murder as a renewable fuel? Only in Chicago though.
Windows ARM is not great. It doesn't even have chrome.
"Ayyyy! I" want to give government contracts to my old construction buddies in exchange for graft and kickbacks.
What's wrong with that?
I'm going to have to assume that a super-massive banana is bending spacetime, because that's the only explanation I will accept for it's absence.
Banana walnut pancakes FTW
Someone never learned about good sportsmanship. Look them in the eyes and say "good game". Then we'll all go out for pizza.
On the topic of emotion, I've seen a lot of fake quotes on all sorts of subjects and I'm not sure I've ever fallen for one.
Wow, not a single one? Amazing. You should win a prize.
Well he did just eat your lunch, I'd say that qualifies as a prize.

It's a sample size error, in other words. Like how I can say "Supreme Court Justices are 65x more likely to be alleged rapists than Mexican illegals".
"Polar Bear Population on the Rise" according to new study by the University of Bad Math, Ontario.
I can think of a certain stable genius who thinks it's all a hoax.
You're already criticizing it, dummy.
$1/hr is fine. USD is strong at the moment and that's well above minimum wage in lots of places. Just not for white people.
I believe they like to be called "midgets"
Actually it had more to do giving electors a backdoor. One they never used and never will.
As my own professional opinion, I would say that Java is better for writing backend APIs than Node/Express.
I hope you get some thank you letters in your soap envelopes, grandpa.
Vote for candidates that support universal single-payer healthcare.
