You heard "B's get degrees"? I always heard it as " C's get degrees" because grad schools look for B average or above (3.0+) At least that's most of the grad schools I've looked at

When I see some product advertised as "made with science" I usually assume they have done zero actual research, no studies whatsoever and its just meaningless marketing trash. Those are products I generally avoid

How would the mechanism work in your example?

Thank you. This was exactly the point of my comment. While some readers interpret the word lightly, there are many who use it literally in the context of biology with a reference to creationism. There is no evidence for creationism

No, but I'm not sure what that has to do with the topic at hand Also unsure how that's an appropriate response to a request for citations?

Got links to any of those papers?

I think that's a reasonable perspective to take, although I would argue that there is no clear goal in evolution besides survival and reproduction

Perhaps my example is poor, but it shows that hands are not coupled to predation I'm specifically talking about the evolution of hands, humans are not the only organism with hands.

by netizen-936824 4y ago
No, its definitely relevant. Hands were not designed with any specific function in mind. There was not evolutionary pressure to "throw rocks at the eye of a mammoth" Did orangutans evolve hands to throw rocks at mammoths? No, th

Who's being authoritarian? I'm suggesting changing how we think about housing

That's a great question. Unfortunately I don't have the answer but I believe it has something to do with civil v. criminal cases. I just know that's the line of thinking that these top legal minds are using to justify this b

Word and phrase choice indicated that this was your perspective as a driver I'm wondering why you chose to respond to me rather than the person who chimed in with solid experience and an explanation for you.

Thank you for your in-depth response. I appreciate hearing from people with first hand experience on topics that I don't personally have experience with. There's things we don't think about when its so far out of our usual fi

I know you're likely being sarcastic and I definitely understand. I can only speak to my experience and that's in the US, although I can't reasonably doubt that it happens elsewhere

Not quite, I'm offended by people assuming they know the correct answer about something and making baseless assertions. Asking your friend first would have been the move This is something that seems to happen in the US on a constant
