Answer 2

i guess you dont give straight answers huh

Answer 3

It's against the CoC to give straight answers without an explanation. I prefer the people I help to read up on information and decide on their own what it could be. That way users have to think and learn. :-)

Answer 4

lmao someone is an over achiever

Answer 5

Moderators are here what did i do to receive such a visit?

Answer 6

I'm not an over achiever when I prefer students to learn more than just getting straight up answers. Would you really want everything just given to you? Never knowing how to do such things later on in life. Learning is good. Everyone needs to do it.

Answer 15

Just a little FYI, comments that are a little sarcastic may not translate well. Sometimes what is said with 100% fun in mind are things the other person sees as 100% attacking, belittling, and so on. Because of the emotionless nature of Internet communications, it is impossible to see your smile, hear your laugh, or know your Intent. More neutral language helps to prevent these small mistakes.

Answer 16

Sorry if i offended you @beccaboo333 I didnt mean it. Promise :D

Answer 17

Let's say a random mutations gives you the power to fly. You could pass this mutated gene to your children. Soon, there will be much more people flying around. These people (or population) will have great benefit from this power and have more chance at survival (maybe not in this time (since the normal folks have no problem to survive either) but when this was in the mesozoic era, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the flying people would laugh when a dinosaur picks you for diner, you'd just fly away. And that is how a simple mutation can change evolution, because more and more flying people will spawn, and the dinosaurs would have less to eat (and extinct).
