Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

I listen to a podcast about aging and statistics. Your highest survival chance is just when you hit puberty. After that your risk only keeps going up. There's no evolution benefits with age.

What I think is funny (and oddly satisfying mathematically) is that life expectancy goes up as you get older. Like, at birth your life expectancy may be 75, but those who make it to 70 are predicted to live, on average to 80, and if you make it to 80, you are predicted to make it to 85 and so on (I don't remember the exact numbers).

That's about the same time my "troubles" started.
