Stupid people are easier to control.

bill nye is not a scientist, and he never claimed to be one. He is a science communicator, a role he has done well for some time.

Same with Neil DeGrasse Tyson.

No anon, you became who you were meant to be in spite of your parents. You just be careful about it, ok?

Is what I would say if op was anon, but op isn't anon so obviously the whole thing is fake and gay (which I'd like to remind everyone is not a bad thing).

I don't mind pizzacake commics, but at this point just seeing the art style is enough to get me pre-emptivly upset at how stupid and insane the comment section is going to be.

baseball.

The average American could be expected to already know how to throw a baseball, so it was easier to change the equipment to fit the user than to train every fucking soldier how to throw a lopsided stick.

starlink wouldn't have a leg to stand on (in the US, can't speak for elsewhere) if isps were held to installing/maintaining/upgrading infrastructure that was already paid for by the federal government decades ago and then the isps just didn't do the work.

Boo fucking hoo. Everyone else has to make licensing agreements for this kind of shit, pay up.

It's almost like people like good movies. Who would have thunk it?

Also:

I've seen it said that people didn't like The Marvels or Madame Web because the average comic movie audience is sexist as hell and hates even the idea of female protagonists. I'm not going to pretend that such shitheads don't exist, but they're a tiny and loud minority. Female lead characters (or lead characters of any underrepresented demographic) don't automatically lower the bar for quality for the movie. If it's a bad movie, it's still a bad movie.

I myself belong to a couple underrepresented demographics, although I won't specify here which ones. I get told that I should like x or y movie because lead character is like me, but then the movie is bad with bad writing and bad acting and so on and so forth. It's extra fun when the character that I'm supposed to identify with is insufferable as all hell (thanks guys, you telling me that I'm insufferable?). Pandering doesn't make a movie better. Actually make a good movie, and people will like it.

Reminds me of land o lakes butter. They got rid of the indian but they kept the land.

I have spider-man 2 on my gamecube, why do I need a ps5?

Regardless of your opinions about her specifically, it's a simple fact that positive societal change doesn't happen by asking nicely. Look at every civil rights movement ever. Nothing got done until people were inconvenienced and companies lost money.
