I think its a coinflip. There are proper conditions for life to be sustained, but it would've taken some considerable processes to actually create the life in the first place.

Why are you hung up on the how i expressed what types of life forms are most likely there if any? Its relative terminology. Of course any form of life is a complex entity relative to nothing or to inanimate objects. But assuming it has already been created, i don't foresee discovering multicellular or 'complex' forms of it.

I don't think it's too outrageous a figure. I myself would have said 10-20%.

Maybe we're just optimists

Who are your favorite ww players?
Posted in the ATF undertitles thread asking for an undertitle, and PP randomly gave me this one. You'll have to ask him why he chose it lol

Suq'Ata is from Magic The Gathering. When i first played the computer game Diablo 2, i was an assassin and i named my character 'SuqAta' because there is magic card called 'SuqAta Assassin'. It just stuck as my handle for everything after that.

My avatar is the logo/image of the electro dj Feed Me. Got into his music early in his career and he's still one of my favorite dj's. Saw him live this summer which was pretty awesome.

I'll have to think about the ww question

I'm sorry!

what's the biggest meet that you've performed at?
02-08-2015 , 04:40 PM
sorry for the derail

scientific chauvinism is a thing for me
02-08-2015 , 04:41 PM
I don't mind a good scientific debate, and probably Suq too - but not the place for it, unless Suq wants to ofc

In college the gymnastics team i was on was performance rather than competitive. We did two halftime shows for the Wizards and one for the Knicks. The Knicks game was probably the biggest. The arena was packed. Every year we would do a show for the Duke vs. UMD game. Everyone at school knew the team and looked forward to it because we would flip through a hoop of fire
02-08-2015 , 04:42 PM
sure

2012 Duke game. I rolled my ankle playing basketball that week. My coach was so mad. I taped it up like crazy and took a lot of painkillers. I'm the last person in line during the flips. I bailed at 6 stack because i thought my ankle was going to explode.

About me

  • I am 24 years old
  • Grew up in MA, went to school in MD, now live in DC
  • Majored in geology with a minor in astronomy
  • I work at the Smithsonian Natural History Museum as a contractor for the invertebrate zoology department
  • Thought i would play poker for a living; went to grad school at UNLV fully funded and failed to prioritize poker and schoolwork so i ended up dropping out and moving back to DC
  • I just got out of a 5 year relationship, and am already in another..
  • Used to play a lot of sports; now i run consistently, practice gymnastics here and there, and play in a softball league in the spring and summer
  • Been on POG since the summer of 2013
  • My screen name is pronounced 'sook', but most people have gotten used to 'suck', which i agree has far better potential for innuendos and puns
  • Oh, and i'm gay


Picture of me 4 years ago when i was at field camp for geology. We went on a tour of some mine and got to watch them blow up stuff with explosives.





Anything else you'd like to know, please feel free to ask!
I pronounce it suuq or sookata.

Where in mass?
Cool job btw. Tell me something cool about work ( I love museums)
You like playing WW with me? If so why, why not.
Define gay to me or how gay, as in you like men cuz they manly or man that are more feminim? I don't know the right word sorry. I'm sure I spellt that wrong.

I remember one time in a game or maybe it was in post game or the pub:
I made a joke and said something like suck my d or another one of those BaTM prhases that wS kinda strong when someone pointed out it was messed up cuz you were gay.
I felt slighty bad cuz I didn't know but then again I treat you like everyone else. Just another buddy of mine so Obv I didn't mean anything by it.
You were a great sport about it. You were on your crhis pine acct which I also didn't even know at the time it was you.

Take care bro.

popcorn lol.
Dicks are boring, feel bad for girls and gay tbh. Like girls have much more parts to play with. So to me that's a con.

The pro to gay and women? A lot.
For one is soooo much easier to find a date. Girls and gay guys can find date like nothing. Straight guys even the good looking ones have a harder time, and most often than not they have to settle with less than what they wanted.
Girls have the uppers hand cuz they can walk in a bar and take a pick. The hottest guy will surely pay attention to a girl hitting on him if she's half decent looking.

Question:
When did you find out you prefer the guys?
Did you have sex with a girl?
Would you have sex with a girl now?
Do you feel anyways when you look at a hot girl with nice boobs or butt?
02-08-2015 , 05:07 PM
point us to the moments when you're onscreen is what Im asking

Ya. I was the only one to do a double front over the long way on the first pass (2:04). You can see my ankle kind of give out and i stumble a bit.

I'm the second double front in the short direction over two and four stack
02-08-2015 , 05:30 PM
Do you have a circle of girl friends in which you are the gay guy?

Grew up in the nothern shore area. MA has two capes. Most people know of the southern cape, Cape Cod. I'm from the northern cape, Cape Ann.

Hmm. My work is pretty boring. The collection I'm working on right now is the mollusk collection. Has over 1 million specimens that need to be cataloged. So five other contractors and i are entering all the data for these shells into excel. We're basically digitizing the collection. An interesting thing about the mineral sciences department (i work in IZ but volunteer in minerals) is that it has a higher security clearance than any other department. I can get into it because i work there, but not even permanent staff from other departments can get in on their own. The room where they keep all the gems and jewelry that arent on display in the exhibits has the highest security access in all of the museums. Think only a few people can access it it and it has like 4 or 5 different codes and doors etc.

I think I'm neutral with playing ww with you. You're hard to read (in my opinion). You play a bit erratically sometimes, which isnt necessarily a good or bad thing, its just unique.

Uhh not entirely sure what you're asking. I am sexually attracted to men. For the most part i am attracted to guys who are masculine and or you wouldn't really 'suspect them as being gay'. Feminine guys are kind of a turn off (relationship-wise and sexually). I tend to like hairier guys. I think moocher made some jokes before cause he knew i liked otters

And ya that stuff doesnt really bother me cause i know its all in good fun. I'll only be offended if its a clearly malicious attack on who i am, which basically is never the case. I appreciate you saying that though

Right now? Haven't run in quite awhile, so it's probably somewhere laughable like 30 minutes. I can eat a pint of ice cream really fast though.
