It's kind of funny that the chuds don't even see themselves as space marines, just nameless guardsmen intended to be used for cannon fodder and sometimes sandbags. Great self esteem guys E. Eh second look i guess that could be power armor, but everything else is off.

Chuān pǔ wáng! Dameixing! King Trump! I can't get any sense of what 大美兴 means though. Might be that they're used for their sounds rather than their own meaning. Image searching the phrase turns up a lot of meme-y looking pictures of Trump, I want to say mostly from 2016.

Great self esteem guys I think they're guardsmen. The tanks look like Leman Russ variants (the main gun looks more like a battle tank), and the shoulderpads aren't nearly large enough for space marine power armor. It does look like they're holding bolters, but the scale of them is way too dinky for an actual bolter (or a space marine in general), so I'm leaning towards guardsmen with funky looking autoguns. There's also a commissar up top near Trump. We can only hope that he fails a leadership check.

ryde posted:It’s like a reverse pigeon hole principle. The pigeonhole principle says if you have some discrete system with x variations and you take y observations where x < y then you’ll get duplicates. In the case of Yu GI Oh cards if you have 200 cards and open 400 cards worth of packs then you’ll get duplicates. What he's saying is not that every exemplar should be a little different, but that given there are millions of species on earth now, it's weird that with only 250,000 fossil species identified from all of previous time we would have more than one t-rex, but no representative of one of the other millions of species that must surely have existed before now. Basically the argument is that the fossil record suggests far less total past biodiversity than we would expect from hundreds of millions of years of evolution (because if there were a lot more species out there to be discovered, why are we not finding them before we find multiples of the ones we've already got). Obvious and immediate (but probably not all the) flaws with this argument, some of which have already been pointed out against the slightly mischaracterised version of the argument: - I have no idea if that 250,000 figure is correct - As others have said, species are kind of made up (for sexual species they're supposed to be only able to breed with each other, but for some "species" that's only true because they happen to be geographically separated from related animals that look different enough to us to be a "different species") - As others have said, just because two fragmentary skeletons look like the same species to us, doesn't mean we'd think that if we met the living animals. Who is to say what is normal anatomical variation by individual, by age, by sex etc and what marks a radically different animal? Maybe scaly t-rexes and feathery t-rexes both existed?  - There might be really good reasons why we have multiples of some species and none of others. Particular times and places are more likely to produce discernible fossils - Really how well can you tell one tiny shellfish from another by looking at a rock speckled with all their imprints?

Terrible Opinions posted:The other super obvious one that the animals that represent the overwhelming majority of biodiversity on earth, insects and small of soft-bodied ocean life, don't fossilize well. There is no reason to believe that would be any different in earlier eras. Yeah it's a bit like shining a torch into your backyard at night and saying "weird that only animals with retroreflective eyes exist in the world, seems like biology might all be bullshit!".

Fishman seems to be like the type of modern conservative who sees a tiny gay pride flag in a mug full of pens at a restaurant, and then for the next week feels the need to scoff and guffaw about how things are so PC nowadays, and could talk your ear off about how you couldn't play Blazing Saddles on TV today, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE JUST TOO EASILY OFFENDED NOW

I wonder, has "they keep shoving it down our throats" been associated with any movement that was on the right side of history, ever? All that comes to mind with that phrase is folks who are angry that gay or black or trans people even exist, or seeing interracial marriage, or desegregation, or any number of things. It's pretty much always, in my experience, people pretending they've already given enough leeway and "shoving it down our throats" means "not completely ignoring they exist at all times". Maybe I'm wrong, but it's such a loving war cry from these sorts of people throughout the years. So, because you called it bullshit then, you'll call it bullshit now too, right? Unlike these liberals, you'll be consistent, right? That's your message, surely.
