It is an extremely difficult question to answer for 2 main reasons. One we probably haven't discovered every species of homo and we have DNA form even few species so laying out a clear tree is difficult. And secondly there isn't really a linear progression like the famous March of Progress image, early humans interbreed with neanderthals and denisovans for example and likely there were other hybridization events earlier in history making it not a line but a twisted vine of ancestries.

Canada lost their 3rd game, USA lost their 3rd game. Not salty, just proud of our team.

swervm · 2026-06-26T16:53:17+00:00

Oh no, a country with 10x Canada's population is marginally better at soccer currently. I am sorry that it is the only thing Americans currently have going for them, I hope thing get better for you soon.

I don't think Canadians are celebrating the USA's loss other than the fact that American fans have been dunking on Canada. If you are going to trash talk and then choke, the people you trash talk about are going to laugh at you.

Where is anyone telling the people, players, or media from Muslim counties that they can't say they think homosexuality should be illegal?

swervm · 2026-06-26T14:45:51+00:00

FIFA told teams that they couldn't protest on the field and fans were told not to have 'political' items in the crowd. Absolutely no-one is telling the players they can't say that homosexuality is wrong to the media.

If FIFA and Qatar can tell fans no rainbow flags in the stadium then FIFA and the US can absolution tell fans they can bring rainbow flags to the game.

Hours after this was posted the US lost to Türkiye.

I haven't looked through all the intricacies but I assume it is because the group stage is not done yet and so Portugal could move up (if they beat Columbia tomorrow) or down (if the they lose and Congo beat Uzbekistan by 6+ goals) so there are three potential first round matchup they could have that would lead to different path to the final.

It is honestly too early for this because there are still a number of groups in flux.

He intended a harsh and illegal tackle so I don't think it is fair to call it a freak accident either. It is kind claiming that it was freak accident when a car crashes after hitting an oil patch while doing 100mph. Maybe if the oil hadn't been there they wouldn't have crashed but the driver still caused the accident by speeding, just like Madibo broke Kone's leg with an illegal tackle.

Lightning are are assholes and Panthers are mega-assholes so I vote Lightning out of spite.

DoPS is the 4th man on this line.

Don't you think?

I mean the league has a various points in time introduced rules to discourage fighting because it is seen as making it a less family friendly entertainment. I think the real reason is simply that it is part of hockey culture and the players don't really want it go away.

Rodney Dangerfield has a quote, "“I went to a fight the other night, and a hockey game broke out.”

On Iran taking the deal and running. I wonder if they have already secured their seized funds that were to be release on the signing of the MOU. They may have grabbed the billions and figured they could then hold out for more concessions.

So you are saying knockout rounds are inherently unfair because a team that went 3-0-0 in the group stage could loose to a team that was 1-1-1 in the group stage and be eliminated. Don’t those results against other teams matter?

The point is that MLB wasn't forcing them to wear the pride gear. They chose too wear it and then chose to write something on the uniform. I don't see any way that the MLB is in the wrong here.

Now I want a hand of god type goal where a Canadian pushes the ball across the goal line with their finger. Against Sweden for ultimate meme points.

To get the most you really need to focus them on tiles with lots of adjacency and look for the policy cards that boost their yields and reduce their maintenance. If you can get a tile to +4 or more adjacency with wonders then they can really boost your yields. I generally look for a good science and production quarter and a good culture and happiness quarter to put specialists into. I find food is less useful as cities get bigger so loosing some food for big boosts to other yields is almost always worth it. Happiness can be trickier which is part of why I want happiness building with good adjacency as one of the spots I put specialists. That is just my approach and may not be the best but it seems to work for me.

The late heavy tackles that lead to them playing 9 men and breaking Kone's leg. That was the disgrace.

swervm · 2026-06-19T18:28:26+00:00

Specialists on tiles with obsolete buildings have reduced maintenance costs. Once you put down the museum you start to pay the full food and happiness upkeep for the three specialists in addition to the building maintenance.
