The Minimalist is a GOOD THEME

does my theme impress you with its minimalism?

thenoobyorker: By way of ohnoproblems and immolator, atheists argue with the Twitter account zizek_ebooks. To respond to the first inquiry, this is how you call Richard Dawkins and a lot of evolutionary biologists naive. Evolutionary biology is treated unlike any science by both academics and the general public. For the average person, evolution is equivalent to natural selection, and because the concept of selection is easy to grasp, a reasonable understanding of comparative biology is often taken to be a license for evolutionary speculation. It has long been known that natural selection is just one of several mechanisms of evolutionary change, but the myth that all of evolution can be explained by adaptation continues to be perpetuated by our continued homage to Darwin’s treatise (6) in the popular literature. For example, Dawkins’ (7–9) agenda to spread the word on the awesome power of natural selection has been quite successful, but it has come at the expense of reference to any other mechanisms, a view that is in some ways profoundly misleading. There is, of course, a substantial difference between the popular literature and the knowledge base that has grown from a century of evolutionary research, but this distinction is often missed by nonevolutionary biologists. Drop the mic, evolve away. there is nothing more satisfying than watching so-called “free thinkers” clutch their pearls when someone blasphemes their idols.

so netflix comes up with a business model that works because people are willing to shell out $10 or so a month for unlimited access to a shit ton of movies instantly streaming right into their faces.

then all the major distributors realize they could also cash in on such a successful business model so they pull their movies from netflix in order to start their own pay sites.

but no one wants to shell out $10 or so a month to each different pay site, including netflix since their inventory has now been completely decimated.

so now we all go back to illegally pirating everything for free.

dear bearded heavy metal t-shirt guy on the d train,

what is the point of carrying around a flask if you’re just gonna dump it into an orange juice bottle?

i am pretty sure you’re not even fooling anyone. as far as i know, orange juice is rarely the color and consistency of cheap whiskey.

sincerely,
confused fellow alkie somewhere beneath park slope

p.s. i can tell it is cheap whiskey because no connoisseur of brown liquor would wear a “demilitia” t-shirt, probably. but what do i know? i usually drink whiskey out of a glass with ice and self respect.
