    "Suppose there are 2 bluebird populations that live together in an area. They do not interbreed. They look very much alike. You would say that they are good morphological species."

  • my mom opened a credit account with my ssn when I was a kid, will disputing it on my credit report put her in prison?

    My score is a 561 now, and I will need a very large loan if I want to go to graduate school. I don't want to put them in prison. the account was opened in 1986, which was 9 years before I was born and somehow ventured its way into my credit score, I don't know how all of that works, maybe I was added as a cosigner or something. I want to fix my score, but I don't want to put her in jail, is that even a possibility. Do they try to open a criminal investigation if you dispute an item or will they just remove it and be done with it.

  • Is natural selection the only way that an organism can evolve?

    In natural selection, each organism mutates and the ones that developed traits that had a negative impact on their survivabiltiy in that environment died, and the ones that were left mated and produced offspring that carried on their traits. unfortunately in society today, deficient people dont die because of medicine, supermarkets, and housing. so thriving in todays society requires intelligence, but unlike in pre-industrial eras, not having these thriving traits wont make you dead and alone. meaning that all that is left to determine what traits will continue is mating. But women are still attracted to the big and muscular. of course intelligence can be attractive too, but intelligence isnt aesthetic, and people arent going to keep drawing bouncy balls from a hat in the hopes of finding one that can reach the ceiling, theyll eventually settle for the one in the prettiest color.Even if someone did find a way to aesthetically determine someones intelligence, deficient people dont die anymore, and everyone is connected by 6 degrees of seperation, so if two idiots cant get dates, they'll just date eachother and have two dozen kids. So even selective mating would be obsolete because the mating pool is no longer rendered finite by geographical limitations.

    Can DNA still adapt to the environment without natural selection, or would any mutations from now into the future be either random or a result of selective breeding determined by outdated mating parameters?

  • on a scale of 1-10, 10 being undateable, 5 being "dont know if worth it", how unattractive is desperation?

    A relationship is kind of like food; the longer you go without it>the more you crave it>the better it tastes>the harder it is to let go.

    im 19 and still single, and the desperation isnt going away

  • what is awkwardness, how can i fix myself?

    Im 19, never had a girlfriend, im a social burden, i cant keep a conversation going, girls look at me like a chemical spill that they should avoid. And i do what i can to avoid that, because i dont want to make them feel guilty. I can tell what they think of me through their eyes and body Lng. Im weird, creepy, awkward and undesirable, and i think theyre mostly right. I'm still not valuable. i've been attached to 3 girls since middle school, and each one went through (or is going through) the same phases. Flattery> curiosity> awkwardness> guilt> hatred. Each time it burns, and it doesn't go away. Right now, fell for a colleague, named emily, and she would have been the greatest thing to ever happen to me if i were only better. but she's not interested, she's going into the same field, she likes all of the same things i do, she's identically intelligent, has a dorky laugh, and she wont even hang out with me. I just want to know what its like to hug a girl, to hold a girlfriend, or a daughter, to feel like someone is happy simply because im around. and i have to suppress this fantasy, because its not healthy, and it always hurts afterward. A relationship is like food, the longer you go without it the more you crave it, the more you crave it the better it tastes, the better it tastes the harder it is to let go. and my body is just about out of energy. I started working out april, ive socialized more, pretended to be happy, but nothing works. I have until summer's end to fix this

  • I'm a 19 year old guy, how young is borderline too young?

    I know 18 is the legal age, but they do make the speed limit 35 and expect you to go 40. So if I like a 16 year old, is it "immoral" to pursue. I don't care about sex by the way.

    And how would she feel about this from a moral standpoint?

  • im 18, skinny, out of shape, introverted and want to bulk up (for girls), where do i start?

    I'm in college, and with it came an urge to better myself. I'm skinny, REALLY out of shape, and want to look good. I'm introverted, so I don't think I can be around a bunch of bulky guys in a gym. I have plenty of money because the government gives it out to students like candy.

    So, where do i start?

    Diet

    Exercise routine

    Personal Trainer?

    Tips for introvert

    how often should i work out

    I don't want to be a body builder, i just want to be presentable to girls, and just normal.

  • i creep girls out, whats wrong with me?

    im 18, and, no matter how much i try to respect girls' space, i creep them out. what behaviors do girls interpret as creepy, and whats so creepy about them? i leave crushes alone, respect them, do nice things for them, i even filter inappropriate thoughts about them and still in the end they end up hating me.

  • is it possible to convert energy (in any form) into propulsion?

    lets say that, somehow for arguments sake, there is a generator that can perpetually generate energy. Could this energy be used to create propulsion, without any need for a propellant? Or is a propellant required for thruster capabilities? aside from propeller rotaries.

  • Is it possible to change a girls mind about liking you?

    so i really like this girl that i work with at my family's restaurant and shes 18 (im almost 19), and shes known that im interested for a while and is still flattered (she would smile and say hi). the other week i asked if she wanted to hang out, and (while smiling and looking in my eyes) she said "im good.. i have a lot on my plate right now." i could tell she was flattered. i think it means shes not interested. shes still friendly to me. she hangs out with these other guys we work with (one's a sociopath, one's a pothead, and one is an immature moron, and are not physically impressive)

    im skinny, insecure, desperate, a little ugly, and jealous

    but, im very smart, sincere, passionate, and i can be funny when im comfortable around someone.

    is it possible to change her mind?

    Would having conversations with her make her feel awkward?

    if not, would it be over the line if i ask her to not date anybody we work with?

  • an exosphere aircraft carrier, is it feasable?

    it could travel anywhere in the world in less than half a day, even over land. it could fire predator missiles in near limitless quantities. tech exists that can deflect missiles, so it would be untouchable. it would be the perfect warship.

    would it be possible?

  • depression, im having trouble taking interest in things i used to like, and i would sit for hours doing nothin?

    basically im depressed. i had an epiphany about myself, and all the things that will never happen. i cant get motivated. its all related to my recent question if you even care to look http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=201401... . my insides dont hurt anymore, and i dont know if thats better because now i dont feel anything at all, i feel empty. at this point i dont know if sad describes me, but moreover 'not happy'. i used to play video games, watch tv, etc. but on my way home from college i just drove around, looking for things to do. i dont feel hungry either, which isnt a problem at the moment. when i got back i just started sitting in my chair for about 45 minutes. i didnt feel like moving, or crying, or feeling anything at all, i just sat there with a knife close by for convenience should i find logical consensus.

    i dont know what my purpose is anymore. i always told myself that i wanted three things in life "an amazing wife, a daughter and a shotgun." but i know that between my awkwardness, my ugliness, and my depression, i wont ever get those. ive accepted myself and am no longer sad, just empty and detached. i figured that this is the moment that normally people end it, so i have a knife right next to me for convenience should i decide to do it. but ive always been against impulsive decisions that have permanence because of their impracticality, so i dont know or care to know if ill do it anytime soon. i dont want to die, but at this point i really dont care to live and if a semi were about to tbone me, i wouldnt lift an eyebrow

    i want to know whats happening to me, and i know that usually i would want to fix it, and i must not be in the right mind at the moment. so for practicality's sake i want to give fixing it a shot.

    whats happening to me?

    do medications help?

    will i go back to normal with time?

    would a normal dr. handle this kind of thing or would he refer me to a therapist?

    could anyone whos dealt with this before offer any advice?
