Re: Jokes
A bilingual joke: A Spaniard walks into a clothes shop in England and to look for something, but he doesn't speak English, so the shop assistant keeps picking up items and saying "This one?" "No, no," replies the Spaniard. Finally the shop-assistant shows some socks and the Span...

Re: Meritocracies
I know, but jokes make valid points too. as for institution... don't worry, you can use the word in the sociological sense: we just need people do consistently do shit to call that shit an institution. like family is an institution, friday night beer is an institution, language is an institution, th...

Re: Biology of Your Conrace
Thank you! yeah, I know, although there's some cool content there, its not only titles that are wrong; format is unattractive and the whole thing is about as organized as the molecular structure of glass. that's why I need to make another site, copy-paste the good stuff, spellcheck it while I'm at i...

Re: Meritocracies
Well, that's the issue here: anything that grants advancement in a certain institution is a merit, so anything's a meritocracy. Meritocracy, however, is generally used to describe institutions where advancement is individual and related to some sort of skill relevant to the immediate job . In that w...

Re: Are your main conpeople human or of a different species?
xD i guess I'm not that original either. my main conplanet, Suenu, is just that: the product of a terraforming endeavor that was, at one point or another in its history, abandoned after being deemed economically inviable after the terraforming had begun. So it has terran organisms and biota, even hu...

Re: Biology of Your Conrace
obligatory remark about how its funny the way in which people thinking of different sorts of sentients still speak of 'races'. when I read 'your conrace' I think about, perhaps on account of being a non-native, particular sorts of humans: something like this https://sites.google.com/site/oncwadha/ph...

Re: Habitable Moons
what do you care if your moon is tidally locked? [it doesn't have to be, but if it is, it's gonna be locked to the planet, not to the sun; It'll still get plenty of daylight, even though, say, a month of its year [or something, depends on parent planet's size and distance to moon] its gonna be [if i...

Re: You
Well, I do not know about English, but in German there is a differnce between the median and the average. If we got people with the age of 20, 21, 22, 23 and 61, the average is 78.2 and the median is 22 because you got an equal amount of values that are greater than 22 and less than 22. Sorry for h...

Re: Foreign Opinions On English And Other Languages
spanish always sounds aggresive. como que agresivo, weon... que cresta te pasa? ah? ah? a quien le estai diciendo agresivo? a mi, weon? :D to me, american English sounds like 'regular english' spoken with a faulty nose-lung occlusion [that is, everything is nasal]. And british english sounds, well,...

Re: You
You're making me paranoid, Torco. mwahahahahha, my plan comes together We have quite a large age range here. The oldest I've seen is 61. The youngest I've seen is 14. That's a 47 year median between the extremes, despite the fact most of our members are in their early-mid twenties. Oh! Time for a n...

Re: Iryal Climate Map Seeking Feedback
that is one fucking awesome map, bro.
however, the colours chosen are all wrong, or at least unkind for someone with my particular chromatic perception parameters: I cannot tell apart savanna and steppe, nor desert-subtropical-mediterranean. you're a cruel person.
