Correct, capitalism is just a system intended to prioritize capital using markets. Science is a methodology of determining truth. As a method, it is tautologically “perfect” because all failures are to be accounted for by the very methodology. The choices that capitalist systems make and socialist systems would make may be different, but the decision-making process itself could be run scientifically.

Define healthy. Nicotine is a stimulant and does improve mental acuity.

I would argue that most magical fantasy eventually starts treating magic as science. If you live in a world where chanting can summon water, that can be studied scientifically.

It would be quite hard for magic to be unscientific. I’ve bandied about a story setting where magic works until you figure out why it works, then it stops working. This eventually devolved into a reverse arms race where factions are researching magic to deny its use to their enemies.

Quantum computing got us the Donald Biden superposition

I’d say that her bonus payout to her tour staff shows that isn’t the case.

Ditto, one could also comment on the use of a kid as a political prop while not making it personal about the kid.

Drink more water, that’s my solution

What do you mean, the decision is very much a state’s rights decision. It stops them from requiring proof of citizenship on federal voting forms but allows them to do so on state forms.

If Russia didn’t have nukes, I guarantee you they would have been invaded over their invasion of Ukraine. (Not that they would have done that without having nukes)

I think another key aspect is it didn’t try and make the source material the joke. Too often these kinds of movies wouldn’t understand the source material and would try and poke fun at it instead. Like a wink to all the “normies” watching for cheap laughs in place of actual comedic writing.

Yes, that is the case for being in your own timezone, but what if you are dealing with someone in another country, you will need some way to know quickly what their local dayurnal situation is. Or if you are travelling, the jet lag will be compounded by confusion.

But then we would need some method to quickly discern the relative position in the day/night cycle of a locality, perhaps some form of number to indicate the percentage of a day before or after midnight their local area is at. Then probably just add that offset so that the viewer doesn’t need to do the math everytime.

Just upgraded from an s9 to an s24+ and this is happening to me. Need to do a hard reboot to get out of it (but rarely can hit the power button to get to lock screen)

If you had told me in 2008 that electing the first black man President would create racial issues in the US, I would have said, that’s fine, we need to get passed this. If you had told me that electing Obama would have lead to President Trump, I may have voted for McCain. (Assuming I believed the foretelling)

I saw this and then asked my fiance the same setup question. She replied, “because they’re marsupials?”

I then showed her this post as the punchline.

I am confused, don’t they scan your card before you check out?

I have few doubts that there were many plans aimed at agitation depending on the events of Jan. 6.

Racists today are just lazy, relying on skin color to discriminate. Back in the day the Irish weren’t “white”. The IRISH!

Pretty sure that’s an air pistol and firing an actual pistol like that (assuming something big enough actually blow a head off) would do weird things to her shoulder.
