It doesn't need to spread it from nothing, but expand and utilize? Absolutely possible

The US is more to the right on average than Cornel West. He won't win. Even if that wasn't the case, people would still mostly vote for the Democratic candidate (in this case Joe Biden), because the Democratic Party is more established and expected to get more votes based on past elections. People are aware of the system used for voting in their country and vote accordingly. Children can understand this, so why are you this obtuse?

I was thinking Mandalorian

It doesn't get destroyed, it just splits into smaller things. Decay chains contain a number of reactions, which involve emission of a particular "particle": alpha particle (helium nucleus), beta- particle (electron), beta+ particle (positron) or gamma particle (photon), accompanied by stuff like neutrinos and antineutrinos. Thus a radioactive sample "loses" mass and energy. You can also have nuclear fission, where a heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei.

This isn't the full scope of nuclear reactions (there's stuff like electron capture, proton/neutron emission, etc.), but it should explain the problem at hand.

Edit: obviously half-life doesn't mean after that time sample shrinks in half, it means half of the original isotope remains while half has decayed. There would be lead and unstable decay products in the sample still. Radioactive isotopes don't decay to nothing, they decay to stable isotopes.

So is apple. Just because it's generic doesn't mean it's not protected by trademark law. Trademarks are also first come first serve, exclusive to a given industry (so you could call your company Apple or X, but it better be not in a business where it's already trademarked). They're also use it or lose it, and you basically have to sue others using it if you want to keep it.

Obviously the logo isn't just the character X, it's a character X in particular font. If they used the same one they would be violating their trademark.

It is a wish fulfillment fantasy most of the time, that's why I really appreciate series which go out of their way to deconstruct that aspect of the genre, like Re:Zero or Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari. Especially Re:Zero, which shows what would actually happen if you put a shut-in NEET loser otaku into a fantasy world.

This is a way for shitty writers to justify infodumping in their story. If your main character doesn't know shit about the world he just got put into, you can justify every other character dumping a huge load of setting and world building down his ear canal. Instead of, like, trying to mix that info naturally into the story, which also avoids the "as you know, John..." trope (where character A explains something to character B that they already should know), but requires effort and skill on the part of the author.

Ha ha very funny. Except this is grammatically correct and not ambiguous. It would work with your joke interpretation if it said "who shot dead, unarmed, black man"

You could present those guys with a supermodel or the fucking platonic ideal of a woman and they would go "that's 7.1 at most, stop overrating"

It already struggles to keep a decent framerate on my 1050, how is it going to run on Switch's integrated gpu?

Or you don't actually have an argument and are posturing.

Most countries around the world have a population smaller than California. The US is just really big. Even then, California alone has about 12% of the entire population of the US, the third most populated country.

If planes are safer than cars, why can't I fly a Boeing 797-9 Dreamliner?

Chew on that for a while.

I love how this person made a good argument about energy storage and you just responded with speculation and an insult, not actually addressing the point. If it's the same 3 points, you should be able to perfectly counter their argument without resorting to an ad hominem attack.

Why would golfscript be more verbose than some others? Isn't it made for golfing?

Including yourself, clearly. Nice touch with the casual misogyny btw

I can't even imagine what kind of horrible person I'm in your head for you to take a common expression and make this shit up. The type of people I was talking about were morons like Bench Appearo, Dim Fool and the guy who punched that firefighter, and left wing commentators are probably gonna respond to them. It's just kinda annoying when every single commentary/polital youtuber talks about the same piece of media at the same time. No need for you to get fired up over my personal pet peeves.

Well, I just asked because I was curious why people are talking about it, I'm not interested in the movie itself.

Every few months people will get raved up about something I couldn't give less of a fuck about and for about a month the internet becomes hell as everyone talks about this thing, from general topic podcasts to political streamers, etc. It was like that with the stupid purple hitler marvel movies, Squid Game, Arcane, etc.

Since it's somewhat political a number of people are bound to get their panties twisted in a bunch so hell will probably continue for the foreseeable future.

I'm gonna be honest, I have no idea what's up with the whole Barbie movie thing. Why would any person over the age of 7 care about it? Why is the whole internet obsessed over it? Genuine question
