it shouldnt be lit up and bright, but it shouldnt be pitch black either, a really dim light so you can only just make out the outlines of stuff around you would make the environment of the cells spookier than a pitch black room

This pretty much. Some middle ground here, pls. We agree it wouldn't be lit like the sun, but at the same time, making a pitch black cell is just  unnecessary because from a practical standpoint, it doesn't help if units can see in the damn thing either!

Just gonna leave this here...

Einstein's theory on gravity is proven.

Evolution is pretty much a given fact in modern science, everyone accepts. Seeing as there is insurmountable examples of it.

All in all, it's an elusive topic because it begs the question, why are we the way that we are? If evolution IS actually factual, why haven't we seen anything like it on a major scale which created us in the billions of years Earth has existed? Further more, if dinosaurs have been around as long as they had, why had they not gone through the same intellectual metamorphosis as homo sapiens? Why are we the special ones?

Aquatic ape theory.
The fact that we're also a weaker a species as a whole, would probably encourage mental growth for survival purposes

What. So you mean to tell me that humans got smart the way they did because a bunch of niggas lived near water for a long time and then left before they turned into mermaids? I'm sorry, but the just seems like a load of crap to me. I could buy the "weaker species = more brain power necessity" shtick, but Aquatic ape theory? Lolwut.

Some dinosaurs lived in "semi aquatic" environments...why weren't they running around building adobe huts and pyramids?

I'm 100% certain on evolution, it's less of a theory, more of a fact.
Like fucking gravity, it's proven over and over.

I think there's more to gravity. "atoms pull each other together" is basically the argument. What is the actual, physical force pulling them? Not gravity but the ACTUAL, PHYSICAL, thing pulling them together. Is it the electrons somehow grabbing each other and bringing themselves together(that would make far more sense to me). I've tried asking this question many times but people just tell me "oh, its gravity". What is the ACTUAL THING PULLING EACH OTHER TOGETHER, saying one word "gravity" doesn't answer the question. There has to be something, anything, pulling each other together. Tell me what it is and how it works, then label it gravity. But until I hear a solid explanation for this then who the fuck knows what's pulling us to the ground.

It really depends on what theory you go by. Some people say its caused by particles called Gravitons, some say its caused by Gravitaional Waves, others, such as Newtons theory states that: Every point mass attracts every single other point mass by a force pointing along the line intersecting both points. The force is proportional to the product of the two masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them, being represented by the equation F=G m1(m2)/r^2.

Whereas Einstein's theory was basically that though basic physics clearly states two objects travelling in a parallel lines never meet, they actually do due to gravity which is caused by a dip in the fabric of space/time. Basically, it looks something like this.


Though more to the point, I think evolution is something that is quite true. I don't for a single minute believe that an invisible magic Dumbledor in the sky suddenly clapped his hands and all of existence suddenly came to be. That just sounds way too idealistic to be true. I do believe, however, that there is a source to everything. For example: Energy can not be created or destroyed -- that much we know. But it makes you think, if it can't be created and it can't be destroyed, how the flying fuck is it around to begin with? Energy is essentially suited to the situation via conversion into whatever, be it heat, kinetic, sound, light, blah blah. All in all, it's an elusive topic because it begs the question, why are we the way that we are?

Further more, if dinosaurs have been around as long as they had, why had they not gone through the same intellectual metamorphosis as homo sapiens? Why are we the special ones?

What about spontaneous generation? I still think that's a viable theory. Think about it, when the earth was created it was nothing but molten rock and the climate wasn't habitable for any lifeform to exist. But eventually amino acids and other proteins were created due to this heat and the climate, eventually leading up to single cell organisms aka prokaryotes or however you spell it.

Yeah, no. Spontaneous Generation is a dated theory which contradicts many things such as univocal generation. It's essentially effectively disproved by the Swan Neck Bottle and the Fly & Meat experiments. Probably not what they're actually called, but that's beside the point.





As you can see in the diagrams, if spontaneous generation were true, then organisms would have developed in the broth or on the meat even without contact with microorganisms or flies. Amino Acids are the building blocks of life, and the way I see it and from what I remember from a brief and rather vague explanation, the process in which unicellular life was created on Earth in its volatile primordial stages was through the random crashing and smashing of elements and various other organic building blocks thus leading to the most basic of make ups which would henceforth be added on to via natural processes and the later dubbed natural selection.

“Lee? Lee, are you there?” inquired a dainty, almost mousy voice that seemed to trail off occasionally before starting up again like a broken record.

 The voice, fading into incoherent ambience in the head of the man who sat in a gloom ridden, dusty room behind a workbench. All around him were an off putting array of dolls which littered the room, varying in size and appearance. Many sat in place with expectant glimmers in their impeccably flawless porcelain eyes as if waiting for someone to pass by in order to snake their arms around them and never let go, while some simply gave off the illusion of constant watching; never once blinking for fear of missing a single movement. The short Asian man who sat at his station wore an overbearing jeweler’s loupe as he fed a thin piece of thread through the head of a needle, tying it in place with ease and began to busily poke about with dazzling expertise as he made quick work of suturing on a delicate looking life sized arm onto a child sized doll. As he moved to make the final stitch to complete the arm, the voice pierced the gloom once more. The sudden noise had startled him, causing him to flinch and yelp in pain as the need bore itself into his finger; a single droplet of bright scarlet oozing out before dripping onto the fabric of the dolls clothing.

“Argh! Damn it! There’s blood on the fabric now! That will take forever to get out! No!” he wailed in horror as he darted to and fro, gathering materials to take out the stain with a maddened glint in his eye that likes of which are common place of those who are obsessive with their professions and hobbies.

 Soon enough, the owner of the voice skirted the corner, lead along by his shouts of frustration. It was a fair skinned Asian woman whose hair was tied in a small pony tail. Upon seeing him, her expression immediately darkened as she spotted him rabidly toiling away, noting his disheveled hair, unkempt beard and piled of empty dishes and food containers strewn about his workspace, while in contrast, his works which he went so far as to call his children, were perfectly and neatly arranged in cases and on chairs. Anyone would be able to tell this man essentially lived to work on his dolls with little regard for anything else.

“Lee, this isn’t healthy, you need to do something about this. Look, I talked to Mother and she thinks its best that we trying…erm….” The woman faltered for a moment as she braced herself for the torrent of insults and disbelief she knew would come, “that we try selling these dolls.”

Just as the woman had predicted, he turned towards her after plucking his loupe off with unsettled, shaking hands which trembled from the rising anger at such a suggestion. His naturally squinted eyes had widened to the point of seeming near unnaturally round, only going so far as to emphasize the dark circles under his eyes and blood red veins lining the whites of his eyes; clear signs of sleep deprivation.
“Are you stupid? I would NEVER sell one of these works of art! These dolls, Leone….” He stopped for a moment as she spread his arms wide to gesture to all of his creations, “These dolls are my life! My livelihood! Without them, I’m nothing! I’ve been doing this for 25 years, ever since I first learned when I was a boy back in Beijing; I would never give these up, as my daughter, you have to understand that!”
The word daughter seemed forced, almost as if he had wanted to avoid saying it, but the word manifested its resentments and tore its way out of his throat. As he ravenously searched his ‘daughters’ face for some semblance of understanding, he found only blatant, unsuppressed disgust and resentment.

“Lee, we’ve been over this before; don’t call me your daughter.” She reminded him sharply, any previous attempts at polite airs which she held when she initially addressed him having long since gone. “And I don’t care what you say anymore, this isn’t good for you. You may be a neglectful piece of shit, but you’re still my father and I’ll be damned if you’re going to living this way!” as she said this, she carelessly snatched at one of the nearby dolls, grabbing it by the leg and moving to march past him. “I’m going to be putting these up online by tonight! I’ll trash them if no one buys otherwise!”

“No! You can’t! I won’t let you!” he hissed through bared teeth, his brow furrowing as he stood in her path. Raising a hand, he flattened it before sending it sailing towards her as it sliced through the air with an inherent swoosh. Before Leone had so much as a moment to react, the numbing sound of echoing flesh against flesh shot through the air as she stumbled backwards; the doll clattering to the ground in a heap.

As she clutched her hot, reddened cheek in a jarring stupor, Lee scrambled towards the side of the now cracked and twisted doll, shivering with grief as watery hot tears spilled onto his cheeks, yowling in pain. “Nooooooo! Th-this was my first! My fiiiiiirst one I had ever made! How could you, you witch! My baby, noooooooo!”

“You’re a sick man, Lee! You need help!” Leone stammered before turning about and marching away, slamming the workshop door behind him. He was alone yet again, only this time, he would stay that way. Alone…with his dolls.

(Deleted post from thread and made own thread since apparently that's the things now.)

I still personally don't agree with having PAC. Not for City anyways. If we were talking outlands, that'd be a different story, but I personally feel it has no place in city.

r u mad at me now???

will you forgive me if you are???


pls...?

im srry bby i didnt mean to, pls.
