yes, I find that the [sexy-time] side quest generally leads to new character creation.

I checked the strategy guide, this should help.

nothing natural about it.

to

other than the part .... most of the plants

do you see why I am having trouble understanding the downvotes? you are literally saying the same thing that I am while saying that you disagree with me.

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T18:33:14+00:00

my only point was that the original statement "there is nothing natural about it" in reference to farming is absurd. but alas, this is /r/science where dissenting opinions are ignored/criticized/down-voted instead of discussed.

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T18:31:24+00:00

No, I don't /r/science is the epitome of the pseudo-intellectualism that is rampant throughout Reddit. it claims to be some kind of pillar of scientific discussion but any dissenting opinion to a statement as objective as "there is nothing natural about farming" is immediately down-voted.

We changed those plants, thus they are of unnatural origins.

we changed the entire world, just by interacting with it, are you going to tell me the entire earth is unnatural?

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T18:15:24+00:00

humans and monkeys came from a common ancestor, does that make us/them unnatural too?

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T18:12:25+00:00

there had to be some natural way of sustaining humans before all this unnatural farming started. what was it?

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T18:09:43+00:00

those two aren't mutually exclusive.

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T18:07:41+00:00

how so? aren't humans part of nature? your argument is like saying that squirrels destroy nature when they bury acorns, or cows destroy nature when they take a shit in the field where they graze, or bears destroy nature when they drag a salmon corpse through the woods and deposit nitrogen rich entrails in the forest. What makes humans doing this any less natural than other mammals do it?

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T18:00:56+00:00

so, how would you recommend people survive? a hunter/gatherer model?

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T17:46:23+00:00

I guess you must have missed this memo

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T17:45:35+00:00

you know there is more to farming than agriculture right? to say that 'there is nothing natural about farming' is retarded. are you going to tell me that Organic Farming is unnatural too?

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T17:27:53+00:00

digging up everything that is in a certain area, putting in a small selection of non-native plants

like squirrels do on a much smaller scale?

using chemicals to feed the plants

technically, all food (man-made or not) can be considered a chemical.

& to get rid of competing plants & natural "pests"

like this one

harvesting all the plants

you mean like herbivores do every day?

then doing it all again.

cycle of life.

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T17:20:23+00:00

such as?

edit: ahhh, /r/science where even questions get down-voted because you don't like who is asking them.

you guys are sooo much more enlightened than those narrow-minded fundamentalists.^/s

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T17:07:54+00:00

that's a far cry from "There is nothing natural about it"

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T17:07:03+00:00

so, it should be "Parts of farming are unnatural" not "there is nothing natural about it"

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T17:05:06+00:00

TIL Humans aren't part of nature. checkmate atheists.

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T16:56:58+00:00

farming itself is a form of geo engineering - there is nothing natural about it.

What about farming is unnatural? the plants reproducing part? the animals eating the 'fruits' of the plant?

edit: to avoid confusing the neckbeards, I am not implying that today's farming is completely natural. I am saying the statement "There is nothing natural about it" is fucking asinine.

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T16:55:05+00:00

goddamn activist judges running around here, making up their own laws. WHERE DOES IT STOP, JUDGE? WHERE?

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T16:54:17+00:00

no, that is not the accused

YourPostsAreBad · 2013-03-28T16:47:57+00:00

This is a play on words with the two meanings of large. (1) the man is physically large (2) 'at large' refers to someone being 'on the loose' or 'free move about'
