I think there's some kind of general fascination with rich people ingrained naturally in the human mind. It's not just in comics. It's present in many fairy tales, mythology, religious books..
Iagree it can help the rich to get away with things. But I also think it's not fair to blame authors for using good old archetypes, while I also support kindhearted critique of those archetypes - it's important to understand their role in social context and to make authors aware of the downsides.
This picture has no right to say it shows a face when it omits the eyes and jaws. It's like posting a picture of human nose and saying what an ugly face people have.
I think that's why op's asking in the first place, right?
If you were republican and asked whether the democrats are as enthusiastic this time as the last time, it would be a perfectly legitimate question. The fact is, people tend to shade themselves from the online madness (good for them), but then they can't be sure whether the madness continues with full force or not.
Asking about it seems logical. But neither you nor I are able to answer.
I haven't seen Prometheus - the reviews talking about stupid characters were too much for me. Are you saying the characters are not really stupid, just have way too much enthusiasm for their scientific field to care for their safety?
In that case I may give it a try.
There are also cheap specialized squishy water bottles with little shower-like hooked ending that can be used as a bidet if you don't want to bother with insalling a real one.
This is my ABBA rule.
I think that would be great - if people were incapable of lying. As it is, the candidate with the most people-pleasing program (true or not) would win and you wouldn't be able to check their past activities to see whether they're trustworthy at all.
I think the ability to react to what life brings in a healthy way can be really great for you. I don't think it's bullshit.
But too often I hear this from people who are just trying to wave off the struggle of others. I know people who are scared to engage empathy when it comes to a person with serious bad luck. Perhaps they would be too devastated or it would remind them that they too could get unlucky one day.
So they blame the victim and say it's in the victim's head, the victim should try harder. And it makes them feel safe, because they, of course, have the right attitude. This way they also get rid of the feeling they should help the victim.
Those people make bullshit of this otherwise good advice.
Yeah, I've never heard a Holocaust survivor say that and I've heard quite a few testimonies.
First time I saw the Jurassic park I thought no way would intelligent people just run around a huge and therefore dangerous Brachiosaurus or jump out of the car and run right to the ill Triceratops. That would be Darwin's award kind of madness.
Then I studied biology, got to know some zoologists and paleontologists, and yeah, this is exactly what would happen.
This is awsome. What is it from? Are there more planets?
It's ok to eat a bit more nutritious food when it's cold - your natural body heating costs energy.
Cover your head when outside, your head loses an unreasonable amount of heat.
If your bed's too cold in the evening, buy a heating pad - a warm bed feels awsome.
If your hands get painfully cold, more excruciating pain may be waiting for you when they start to heat back up. To avoid the additional pain, put your hands under cold tap water first - I promise it's going to feel warm. Then increase the heat slowly until your hands are warm again.
