    So what? Allow the snowflakes to have their heart attacks. Darwin. Survival of the fittest. If they miraculously survive, it will only show that their outrage is fake and just a means to silence others.

    Excellent. Let's call it the WOMbox[^] then.

    I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats. His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

    Maybe that applies to sub-forums. Sub-forums that "do well" survive and sometimes reproduce (such as GIT spawning from the Lounge perhaps?). Sub-forums that aren't used much or attract trouble die.

            Irrelevant, in this particular case. Nobody likes cleaning toilets and you don't need them the whole day, but things get really messy when you don't have one at all.

                True. He did not state at all what traits may make you fit for anything, nor which do not. Anyway, the poor little snowflakes seem to be breeding like rabbits.

                  But it still died, so those considerations apparently don't raise the fitness enough.

                    I don't trust anything that quack said about survival. What did he know about survival? He's clearly not an expert on it.

                    He lived 73 years (at a time when average life expectancy for men of his class, for the 75% who survived childhood illness, was roughly 50~60); he had 10 children: two died in infancy, one died at age 10. During his later adult life he struggled with debilitating health problems, for which medical treatments of the time were not effective.
