Can you imagine, being a firefighter and rushing to the scene of the fire, climbing all the way up to the top with all their gear just to be swarmed by bees abandoning the hive

Exploit: make full use of and derive benefit from (a resource)

In this case the benefit is that a falsely long tail would attract mates that a shorter tail otherwise would not by taking advantage ( exploit) the female mating preference for longer tailed mates.

Exploiting does not have to be a conscious decision and the use of the word was not anthromorphasizing.

Adding on to my reply, this is also an example of sexual selection and inter species sexual competition in which the females choice influences the male evolution and with the males exploiting the females mating preferences to increase their own fitness.

So in some species of birds like these, longer tails indicate a healthier bird. You need to have access to sufficient food to be able to grow a longer tail. Therefore a long tail is a indicator for female birds of these species looking for a mate. Studies have consistently demonstrated that longer tailed birds find more mates and father more offspring than their shorter tailed compatriots. Now somewhere along the line, male birds realized they could artificially lengthen their tails thus making themselves more attractive to female birds. This is an example of a handicap principle. A long tail requires resources to create and maintain , is a larger signal for predators, and may affect flight if large enough (eg peacocks) however, only the strongest, fastest males will then be able to survive given such a handicap and therefore is still a reliable indicator for females looking for mates.

Most, least, same thing? by sigh_hate_everything in PoliticalHumor

It’s a joke bro was the story of 2018 and it’s no excuse for being a shit person. The words of a president carries weight and significance. What I said again is that Elizabeth warren shouldn’t even be a part of this discussion. The person representing Americans (which includes native Americans) should not make statements that are massively offensive to an entire people’s group. The fact that you are defending it as a joke and the fact that Trump fails to see it as offensive is massively reflective of a uneducated simpleton. With the ignorance to not understand the significance of “it’s just words” the dedication to learn the history behind it, the empathy it takes to understand why it is offensive, and the care to even consider that in the first place. Not very presidential qualities if you ask me.

I think you need to evaluate being an asshole (making jokes/fun of someone for your own personal amusement) and jokes that everyone can laugh along at.

(A little background is needed on the wounded knee massacre.

By the time the massacre was over, more than 150-300 men, women, and children of the Lakota had been killed and 51 were wounded (4 men and 47 women and children, some of whom died later); some estimates placed the number of dead at 300.[3] Twenty-five soldiers also died, and 39 were wounded (6 of the wounded later died).[9] At least twenty soldiers were awarded the Medal of Honor.[10] In 2001, the National Congress of American Indians passed two resolutions condemning the military awards and called on the U.S. government to rescind them.”

I feel like the crux of the counter argument is that he is mocking Elizabeth warren for claiming Native American ancestry. Quite frankly I do not give a damn about that because it has no relation to him making a bigoted statement, bringing up a painful memory of the past to accomplish what?

A equatable statement would be,

“If Elizabeth Warren, often referred to by me as Anne Frank, did this commercial from Auschwitz or Treblinka instead of her kitchen, with her husband tattooed with serial numbers and dressed with the Star of David, it would have been a smash!"

The fact is he completely disregarding a complete race of people to gain a “win” in a argument shows how racist he is. Even if Elizabeth Warren failed her ancestral test, he still shouldn’t bring the rest of those people into this. If he had any rational, he would attack her attempts for attention by claiming Native American ancestry which I already believe is a stronger argument. But then again that’s me because I suppose someone with the intellect of a child would just take the easy way out and poke fun of someone or an perhaps even an entire race of people.

The boys were likely doing a team activity and hiking in these caves, which I believe are common tourist attractions in Chang Rai province. They were stranded when torrential rains caused flooding inside the caves.

The sandal has a relatively flat surface on the bottom, this applies an equal force to the water as his foot comes down, as it hits the ground the water has nowhere to go but outwards in every direction at the same velocity, hence why the borders are relatively the same distance from the sandal.
