First point: fair enough, I see the flaw. But then we’re changing to a more ethical dilemma: does a charismatic person deserve more chance to live?

Second point: with half the population left, there is more time to solve things (caused by humanity). Global warming, for example, will likely be solved by just the snap alone.

Maybe he could have made it that every female can only bare 2 children, that would gradually reduce population. But that would put a huge strain on the younger generation to take care of the elder.

About the 2 faction problem, theoretically 50% of each faction will be gone. Chances are big that the power balance remains the same. But you can idd argue that making 1 faction completely dissappear is also 50% and statistically possible.

About the influential people (let add geniuses to be complete). Those persons are not unique, nobody is irreplaceable. Someone else will step up to be equally influential, Someone else will figure stuff out.

The reason he choose that action is not to be biased and give everyone an equally 50% chance of survival. In his eyes, a cleaning lady deserves an equal chance to a CEO.

The next generations will bounce back. They will not have experienced the thanos snap.

Thanos; I can understand his reasoning, his solution doesn’t favor anyone either and seemed painless.

Imagine hitting a dent in that bulge. Metal doesn’t dent back out, I’ll be a struggle to walk or strip your armor while it is crushed the entire time.

It is today’s equivalent to catching it between your zipper.

I don’t know who he is.

I get called those things when I tell people I believe the cause that a lot of young people are struggling with their gender is because of hormone imbalance (before puberty) .

I believe this imbalance can caused by external factors, like digesting xenoestrogen.

It doesn’t mean because I think about that stuff and have a theory about it, that I am transphobic. Yet a lot of people can’t seem to see the difference between me just having a theory and “Alex Jones” ;)

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make by throwing some random guy’s name into the conversation.

Yes. But in relation to the meme it seemed relevant.

Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical compound  primarily used in the manufacturing of various plastics…

… The health effects of BPA have been the subject of prolonged public and scientific debate. BPA is a xenoestrogen, exhibiting hormone-like properties that mimic the effects of estrogen in the body.

Bisphenol A (BPA), a hormone-disrupting chemical used in food packaging, is present in almost all Europeans’ bodies, posing a potential health risk.

A recent Horizon 2020 research initiative, HBM4EU, measured chemicals in people’s bodies in Europe and detected BPA in the urine of 92% of adult participants from 11 European countries.

The Copenhagen-based EEA said the share of adults exceeding the recommended maximum levels ranged from 71 to 100% in the 11 countries studied, referring to levels outlined by the European Food Safety Agency (EFSA) in an April review.

I’ll just leave this for you to read further on this. https://www.google.com/search?q=bisphenol+a+european

If you want to debate this you are accused of being [buzzword]fobic or a [buzzword]ist.

What is up with all these haters. My friend has a model Y for 3yrs now and never had any issues. It is a great car. Panels gaps are fine, no ratlling dash. I drove it and I loved it! If I could afford it, I would buy the new model 3.

Maybe Europe has different standards but they’re great cars!

My policy is: if you are weaker, you have to be extra carefull and give way to the others.

Usually in this order: pedestrian < bicycle < motorcycle < car < truck

This has served me well. No reason to risk your life in competing even if you are in the right. Being in the right serves you nothing when you’re dead.

Isn’t this easily detectable?

The camera sends a ping every 30sec to the host. Missing ping: sound silent alarm with possible tampering. Missing 4 pings, let all hell break loose alarm sound.

That is how my sensors work. They work on 433/868mhz, this is open band and easy to flood. If the hub misses a ping from a sensor, the tamper protection alarm goes of.

They putin a request for an interview with Zelensky.

True but you can’t deny by my example that people who invested in a more environmental friendly car are are punished for it.

You missed the part where it says 2 ton for full electric? More heavy electric cars with their instant torque and very high torque values tear up the road and its tyres more than the petrol variant.

The prices will apply to vehicles weighing more than 1.6 tonnes with a combustion engine or hybrid vehicles, and more than 2 tonnes for electric vehicles.

Bmw x2 xDrive25e is a hybrid weighing 1800kg.

Bmw x2 sDrive18i is a petrol weighing 1500kg.

Both have exactly the same petrol engine. The plugin hybrid car, despite being cleaner, falls under the new parking law while the pure petrol one does not. Seems like they didn’t thought this through, and it is (again) bullshit to do this in the name of climate. They just want money.

Closing a stapler after refill.

I have known this for a long time

I got most of my negative reviews removed without reason on different platforms. Even a negative review on an online store removed by trustedpilot on request of said online store.

This has absolutely nothing to do with xenophobia. This was based on a documentary of chinese economic waste and the people that fall into poverty because of it.

I work in a hospital, we use these long vertical elbow buttons or rfid readers with a badge which is also touchless.

And if I need to push a button like in elevators, I use the knuckle of my ring finger.

Some even have this little touch tool on their Keychain to touch screens or buttons.
