Everything here was supposed to disappear. Banned subreddits, deleted communities, cancelled blogs — much of what is archived here survives nowhere else.

It stays free — no paywall, no account — for the next man who comes looking, the way it was free for you.

I pay for the servers, the storage and the bandwidth myself. If you want this record still standing in ten years, become one of the people who keeps it online.

yes, it is terminology borrowed from the animal kingdom since, you know, you are an animal just like women are.

evolutionarily speaking, your sole purpose on this earth is to reproduce in order to keep the species going. this sub explains how humans have evolved to further the strongest genes of the species via reproduction and mate selection, thus leading to a higher evolved human race.

this mate selection is based on obvious clues about A) which person has the highest aptitude for survival amongst the others in the social sphere, and B) which person has the most optimal genes which one would want to pass on to their offspring such that their offspring also has the highest chances of survival and replication.

insulting rather than adopting this dissection of humanity will only put you at a disadvantage. the genes that make you, you, will be weeded out of the evolutionary gene pool and you will be ultimately forgotten and erased from the history of the human race because of your strict adherence to your liberal ideas... and you will only have yourself to blame. this is entirely within your power to control. so i urge you: don't choose eradication.

for your own sake.

They're not. This sub just tends to attract that crowd. If they follow the advice here maybe they'll change.

Insulting aside, I find it quite depressing that of all of the sperm that unloaded out of your dad's nut sack and into your mother's dumpster of a womb, you were the one that won the race to the ovum.

Oh well, I guess even Special Olympics contestants have gold medal winners. Congrats!

nothing to see here.

classic redditor who hasn't had sex in seven years, still trying to honor women so much that one will eventually sleep with him.

carry on, white knight. carry on, sir. this bud's for you!

i answered you under naqualaqua's comment.

but you are not here to learn anything or seek answers to any question. you are here to troll and push your ideals - ideals which you have never put the time in to completely understand the longterm ramifications of. you believe something without ever exploring the alternate viewpoints. that's pretty closed minded. it reminds me of a jehova's witness.

Pay him no serious mind, the better part of this guy's hierarchal DNA ran down the crack of his mother's ass and ended up as a stain on the motel mattress.

I dunno, you should probably walk up to that special "m'lady" in your life that your orbiting, with your fedora in your hand, and ask her. She's probably fucking one.

EDIT: Don't ban this guy mods, at least not yet. I say we have some fun with this little pot-bellied piglet.
