Reply to comment by nonanumatic in For someone as famous as Micheal Jackson, it's surprising that we don't have many biopics about him. by exporterofgold
Every documentary, police report, and person who knows the case. The only sources who think he’s innocent are the ones that go strictly off the legal proceedings, just like OJ.

Reply to comment by SeienShin in Adoption is the 'skip intro' button for parenting. by thedbm
I honestly found with both of mine that it was a hellish, unenjoyable nightmare up until about 18 months. Then it starts getting good after that.
So like the really bad first season of an otherwise amazing show!

Reply to World peace is absolutely achievable. by [deleted]
Maybe I'm too pessimistic, but no it is not at all. Literally every plan to achieve something is tainted by the perception of the one making the plan. So he/she will naturally not take every possible human reaction into account.
So without a forceful silencing of those who oppose world peace it is not possible. It is against human nature even, because almost everyone is susceptibal to corruption of mind.
While it is a nice thought, it will always fail because not all humans are going to align.

It’s hard to explain it in the title, since it’s only two sentences but I’ve been trying. Just look at some of the other comments

Ragtime music.
Ah, 1997...

And music. And group acceptance. And a feeling of thinking they are going somewhere that others aren't. Exclusivity.

Adoption processes take years usually. So it’s worse. You have to sit out the intro but can’t watch it or interact.
And then you have to live with whatever choices somebody else made during the tutorial.

Reply to Really surprised humans don’t have standard upgrades yet, like how horses have horseshoes. by [deleted]
Horses have shoes because we have bread them for other abilities and weaker hooves came along with that. Humans have never been selectively bred for a particular trait otherwise we probably would.

Hence the technically impossible
Theoretically it's possible, just keep removing human problems until it becomes possible, remove religion, remove social class unhappiness, remove starvation, remove financial burdens and so on until everybody is happy, this isn't impossible if humanity either all got on the same page or a great war wipes out a huge amount of the population, it's just never going to happen
In theory it's possible because it's entirely based around human element that humans if they so choose can deal with
In reality its just not going to happen, even if you could solve a few of the problems there will always be somebody around to ruin it, humans just aren't capable of all coming into agreement

I agree, ButFez. I just meant war is glamorized, as you said, in movies, video games, even politicians (look at T&*$%, who declared at one point that we should "carpet-bomb" the Mideast).

Reply to comment by smileymn in World peace is absolutely achievable. by [deleted]
Well, I'm American. The U.S. public needs to insist. Personally, I am beyond disgusted by my country's meddling and shady deals and pouring arms into conflicts. When it comes to Ukraine, maybe we have to, I don't know, but there are a lot of conflicts that we should never have been involved in. I think the US public is, unfortunately, underinformed about a lot of bad actions of some of our government and military leaders. If more people were made aware, especially young people, there might be more support for cooperating with the ICC.
Edited to add...I know I'm being optimistic about my fellow Americans.
Edited again to add... what's with the downvote? Tell what's wrong with what I said. I'm trying to be nuanced yet optimistic here.

You're not really explaining your point so no wonder you're getting downvotes

The apes are literally this little fella's descendants. Like cows and horses, BTW.
