How is it a stupid comparison? A 90 lb old woman is not going to maul someone else to death (most likely) while a 250 lb MMA fighter could easily maul someone else to death.

On that note, are you saying that we should treat people differently depending on their size? That a 90 pound old lady's aggression is different than a 250 pound male MMA's aggression? That if that old lady punches someone we should charge her with disorderly conduct while if the MMA fighter punches someone we should charge him with deadly assault? --- Thanos was wrong.

Most dog owners are like most parents and think their fur babies (just like most parents think their actual children) are perfect or great as-is. Let's face it: not everyone is cut out to be a pet owner/parent. Just because you can have children or buy/adopt a pet doesn't mean you should.

You might be better at showing the comparison by using similar photographs for them, where clothing choice and how they had the characters act/look on the show doesn't skew the results. (By the way, I'm not saying one or the other is hotter than the other. Just pointing out it's not a fair comparison if you are going off something that is purposely designed to make one of them the "hot" one (by wearing skimpier clothing and having the well manicured hair and nails and stuff) and one meant to be the "geeky" one (by dressing in baggier, grungier clothes, letting it show they don't care about their hair, etc.) --- Thanos was wrong.

Not only "these days." Most pop (and "popular") songs have always been produced by songwriting teams since the early days. I remember listening to an interview with Stevie Wonder criticizing modern artists because of how generic and similar the songs sound, but then praised a lot of the music of his era because writing teams would spend a ton of time just making the songs perfect. I don't necessarily disagree with him, but he also clearly pointed out how many songs of the older eras were also written by collaboration instead of just a singular solo venture. Look on most records under the writing credits and you will usually see many names of people who aren't the musical artist whose album it is. Bands tend to have a bit more written internally, but even then, many bands have songs that had collaboration from people outside of the band to help write some songs. --- Thanos was wrong.

Both are good, but obviously both have their drawbacks. Nuclear waste via nuclear fission reactors is obviously a big drawback, as well as safety (the designs have to be very robust with a lot of fail safes in place). Renewables have drawbacks as well. For instance, solar panels and wind turbines have a pretty short shelf life and only last for a pretty short time (10-20 years usually), which means using up resources again to mass produce them (which the energy is renewable but a lot of the resources are not). They also can kill off wild life quite a bit... And for enough sunlight or wind, they usually need to create fields by cutting down forest (if in less arid locations). Offshore wind is great, but the construction is pretty ridiculous and the saltwater of the ocean is extremely intense on weathering the infrastructure. They also can only work when the natural resource is available (i.e., solar can only generate with sun out, wind turbines can only generate with wind occurring). So, when on-demand energy is needed, those two can only provide it by storing excess energy into battery farms... which battery technology really needs to be revolutionized because it isn't keeping up with our push for green and our rapidly growing energy needs. That's one thing that is great about nuclear: it's pretty much non-stop, so you always have on-demand power. Hydropower, the area I focus the most in, impacts ecosystems a ton when creating new reservoirs and even for existing ones as it creates an impenetrable barrier for upstream and downstream movement of aquatic life. We solve this with upstream and downstream passage for fish, eels, and more, but it's ridiculously expensive (like between $5 million to $100 million depending on the site and there is no such thing... and lost flow to these passages means less water for generation). Additionally, hydropower is extremely dependent on the river/creek, the height and flow differences. Pretty much every hydropower turbine has to be custom made for your site, so you lose efficiency in time to develop/design/build as well as cost efficiencies. Run-of-river hydropower (where there isn't excess storage) means no on-demand power. Have to generate when you can. Storage reservoirs and pump storage are great for on-demand energy, though. That said, it also means larger reservoirs, so you are flooding more land to create those reservoirs. Honestly, the renewables I hope more research is put towards is nuclear fusion reactors and hydrogen fuel cells. --- Thanos was wrong.

Part of what's so frustrating is we could very likely have viable solutions available to us in the near future if the general population were willing to allow for that investment, whether it be through supporting companies that use clean energy or favoring government subsidies / sponsorship of alternative energy research. But non-renewable energy interest groups are the ones that have disproportionate influence right now. I literally work in renewable energy. Not to dash your hopes, but it is nowhere near as "clean" as you think it is. Cleaner than non-renewable energy, sure, but there are a lot of negative impacts caused by renewable energy. --- Thanos was wrong.

| Topic | Car inspections are a scam |
| WTGHookshot 06/09/23 7:07:17 PM #20 | Here in NY, the car inspections are pretty robust. Check brakes (brake fluids, pads, rotors, lines, parking brake), any codes the car is giving off with a code reader, seat belt straps and anchorage, steering (wheel, linkage, power steering), suspension, chassis, tires and rims, all exterior lights, windshield, windshield wipers and wiper fluid, horn, mirrors, fuel lines, emissions, emissions control devices, and more. This is required every year and it usually costs close to $30. Every two years, your registration is also required to be renewed. For me, this has usually costed about $45 each time. These are both required even for brand new cars. Honestly, I'm surprised other states have such lean car inspection and registration requirements. --- Thanos was wrong.

Reversing the effects of man-made climate change is fine, I feel. Reversing the effects of natural climate change, though... That's just messing with nature's natural progression and doesn't sound like a good idea to me. For instance, bringing back dinosaurs... Mankind wasn't involved with their original extinction. It was something that naturally occurred due to processes of the Earth after meteor impact. So, reversing that just seems like a bad idea. Whereas preventing extinction of a species because mankind was a jerk and destroyed habitat/hunted to near extinction?

I think he's referring to the fourth movie (Age of Extinction). I wouldn't exactly call it "pedophile laws," personally What was referenced was Romeo & Juliet laws/clauses, where two people are together when both are under the legal age of adulthood but, due to a separation in age, as they continue to be together, one of them passes into adulthood while the other is below the legal age limit. It's essentially the type of law for things like a 17 year old dating a 15 year old and then the 17 year old turns 18 while the 15 year old either stays 15 or turns 16. In the movie, the main character's daughter is technically underage and her boyfriend is above age, but they started dating when he was underage as well. The father originally sees the teenage boy as a pedophile and the teenager defends himself with said law mentioned above. --- Thanos was wrong.

Eventually (assuming humans didn't find a way to get off of the planet and survive elsewhere), it would absolutely destroy the entire planet. Humans require resources (as would whatever allows the aging process to be stopped/slowed). Eventually, all resources would be consumed. Resources are finite. They only replenish currently because humans (and other plants and animals) are also finite. But if humans essentially never die, then any new birth means a human whose needs must be met for the rest of eternity (assuming they weren't "killed" by natural disaster, disease, murder, suicide, etc. It depends if we are only talking "stop getting old" or if we are talking "become immortal"). --- Thanos was wrong.
