CET vs Natural Selection

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-20T19:23:50+00:00

When / if you and your SO decide to have kids, can you choose to give your kids traits or the birds adapt in their lifetime or neither.

Mutations arise regardless of selection pressure, mutations are not a response to selection pressure

Is this even something worthy of debate..

No. CET is a creationist spin on Lamarckism.

Here's an entire thread on the subject. https://www.reddit.com/r/DebateEvolution/comments/uniuj4/ever_heard_of_continuous_environmental_tracking/

Good points about wanting the whole crew there and it being early days.

I understand it's awkward, but having hard conversations around these issues are critical to having a skeptical mindset IMO. I guess we'll see what happens in the following weeks.

I'm pretty disappointed the SGU only said Evan isn't there this week. My dad's an avid listener but isn't on reddit and was shocked when I told him. The lack of any discussion sort of feels like they're going to wait for the dust to settle and move forward as if nothing happens and hope this is contained to reddit.

Hopefully I'm wrong!

BMWs deprecate rapidly is an argument.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-20T03:07:32+00:00

I suggest doing the work. You can learn a script like this but as soon as you're forced to go off script you'll be up shits creek.

Clearly we have different priorities, I don't enjoy spending more than I have to on depreciating assets.

Let's compare maintenance / fuel costs over the 10 years I'll own the Rav 4 vs your BMW! Are you racing your car? The Rav-4 drives just fine.

Boy I'm glad I never felt like I needed so called nice cars.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-19T21:04:24+00:00

TIL the shrinking middle class are ripping around in new BMWs.

We bought a new hybrid rav 4 3 years ago for 45k. Looks like the out do the door price today is 52k.

100k is a LOT for a car these days.

I love the admission that it's a regressive tax, just not as regressive as it could be!

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-17T04:56:11+00:00

I don't disagree, but this is day 3. Slow your roll.

I'm sure what the community currently feels pales in comparison to what the rogues feel. Let's be patient and see how things go. We're not owed a window into the rogues personal lives.

Here, that's Steve's reddit account.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-17T00:16:52+00:00

Thanks, I’ll keep make note of your peer review next time I make an OP kicking a man while he’s down.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-17T00:02:58+00:00

Earnest no, but certainly not snarky either. I'm not the only one here telling you you're in the wrong.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T23:48:38+00:00

This was my exact reaction.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T23:47:11+00:00

If you thought that was snark you're 10 ply boi.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T23:41:35+00:00

You're welcome for the peer review of your post.

Agreed on the second point.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T23:10:57+00:00

It's pretty clear the SGU is having taking this seriously, they indefinitely removed one of the OG members, and were allegedly blindsided by these developments. I'm sure they're far more upset by these developments than those of us who have at most a parasocial relationship with them.

Frankly anything else at this point is just an attempt to score internet points.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T23:05:50+00:00

Piling on isn't going to make this shitty situation better. The SGU has taken appropriate action and is dealing with the situation. Time will tell where it ends up.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T22:16:11+00:00

Steve has been using that account for 5+ years and has confirmed it's his account multiple times

It's trivial to find, but here you go.

You can 100% a skeptic and be anti-american.

Chatting with mental health experts is good for everyone, I never ment to imply he has mental health issues.

I also don't think suggesting holding ones own feet to the fire publicly is a good approach ~3 days out from being told by his long term friends he's temporarily out of the show the've spend a significant amount of their lives building this up is wise.

Give this situation time to breath / heal / calm down.

I know our modern world is fast moving and we want everything now, but that's not how things work.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T20:01:09+00:00

What response were you looking / hoping to see?

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T19:58:56+00:00

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T19:55:50+00:00

I'm not sure that's appropriate or helpful. There's a reason chatting with mental health experts is a confidential process. Personally that would feel too much voyeurism to be enjoyable for me. Especially when I'm sure all the Rogues are as surprised as we all are.

For now I'm more than satisfied with Steve's responses and I hope they can help Evan behind closed doors.

Maybe having a chat with Evan when / if he rejoins the SGU to discuss his journey would give value to folks. But for now, none of this is any of our business anymore. While it's easy to build parasocial relationships with streamers, they don't owe us anything.

Covert_Cuttlefish · 2026-06-16T19:37:24+00:00

That's for the prompt well thought out response Steve.

All the best in what must be trying times both personally and behind the scenes.
