    On the topic of suppressing testosterone: it doesn’t work like that. It works the opposite way in fact. Biological males have estrogen, but the testosterone suppresses its effects.

    Ooooh, flight fire with fire

    “SoY LoWeRs yOuR TeStOsTeRoNe”

    “It doesn’t lower testosterone, it just helps identify the low T beta cucks in the room. Real men™ can drink soy all day with no ill effects. It’s the low T boys that get turned into sissies. They’re not man enough for soy. Joe Rogan talked about it”



  • Not exactly plot armor. Well kinda. Definitely loss of suspension of belief.

    Obi-Wan escorting Leia under his trenchcoat through a giant active hangar. The chase through the trees earlier in the series was obviously a cost cutting sound stage scene that I could cross my eyes and say “this is like a stage play, sure”, but that hangar scene? Cmon guys, you can do better than that. Put her in a box and push the box with a cart. Like, it could have wheels for crying out loud. You could’ve spent less on a box and a cart then you did on that ridiculous rain coat







  • I think you missed the second part of my response.

    Lemme spell it out more explicitly. The majority of voting humans will not accept a world without single use plastics. This is because they are dumb as shit. If an alternative is presented that is functionally the same the masses will more readily accept a ban on petroleum based single use non-biodegradable plastics (paper replacements are not functionally the same. see paper straws). Now I don’t want to get bogged down in pedantry, so let’s keep this broad.

    Packaging materials, coffee cup lids, shrink wrap, the list goes on. The world is addicted to cheap throwaway plastics and they will need to be weaned off or the petroleum lobby will just rile up the majority and regulation will fail. This is what I’m saying. Will the alternative have it’s own problems? Absolutely. The hydrophobic coatings they’ll put on food containers will give people cancer. Your scenario at the top is very probable, or something like it. But good luck convincing them to jump straight to sustainability.

    Hell, I’m typing this on a device made of materials mined by children and assembled by political prisoners. And when it breaks, I’ll go buy another, because I need it to work. If you’ll excuse me, I’m gonna go drink until I’m not thinking about this anymore
