@Little Boots it was also the biggest land mammal ever to have lived, it isn't gonna be climbing any trees

Systems fucked and it is as far as I can tell because of lack of discipline

I wouldn't have bludged so hard if belted us lets be real here

weird mix of no discipline but no freedom either

Or finding some other reason to walk on 2 legs lol, I doubt it's pelvis would allow for it

Or at least made me run 3 laps around the field

welllllll

i was really antischool lol

running around the fields didnt help haha

Ah yes sign here name and id to take a piss but I can also just sit on my phone all day and none gives a fuck

@ebinmemes22 I know, but it still evolved finger-like appendages without needing to climb trees. Rather, it used them to grip limbs to nibble off the branches similar to how giant ground sloths functioned.

Clearly svarozgyc is a Richard and Mortimer fan too

lol

school is no place for smart kids

It’s that old thing of “convergent evolution” that I was talking about taking place.

I only learned to enjoy sport right as I left school

i got kicked out of uni for not attending PE

tru story from eastern europe

@Little Boots and it didn't have the intelligence, social structure or ability to walk on two legs so it didn't become smart. It'd need a lot of work

It's not just about the fingers, it's about ending up using them to hold things, like a baby or a stick

@ebinmemes22 I know. I’m just showing how fingers could develop without needing to climb trees.

Thumbs are a different story.

Ye but in the overall argument that was had in the first place it doesn't help much lol

Thumbs is the part that prolly requires tree climbing lol

I might try to do an entire hypothetical species development and try to hypothesize potential ways appendages needed for gripping tools could develop and see if it’s possible without needing to climb trees.

Well octopi can grip things

They're pretty smart too

Their problem is that they're trapped underwater

There's even a species that catches fish to ride on their backs for fun lol

Hyper intelligent crows.

Hyper intelligent trilobites

Hyper intelligent potatoes.

This is something that needs to be said: There is NEVER such a thing as "two equally qualified candidates." There is ALWAYS someone who is more qualified, even if it's just marginally.

Maybe someone has an extra three weeks of work experience, or scored two points higher out of a thousand on a "relevant knowledge" test. There are NEVER equally qualified workers. Ever.

If they're coming up with identical scores, then test more. Eventually one will come out ahead.

Yeah but their CV is unlikely to go into that exact detail level

And also whypipo bad guise

That's why I'd strongly prefer a blind hiring system, where you can't discriminate on race because you don't even know who the fuck you're looking at.

All you know is "College Degree X" with "Y GPA" and "Z score" on some skills test to filter out the chaff.

Or maybe it's the kind of job where people can submit a portfolio of prior work, so you can judge people on that.

There still have to be interviews
