For sure. Idc what anybody else's opinion about that show was, it was so wholesome and amazing. And the ending was so good. Hiding that relationship between two female characters you'd already learned to love for who they are, understanding why bubblegum wouldn't accept finns absences suddenly making sense, huntress wizard, Jake and his family growth. What happened to humanity, finns struggle with honor, loyalty, and then finding out humans still exist? they really should make a movie. It was a little past my time, but once I watched it, I could see how its target audience could see that love is love, that nobody is wrong for being who they are, the actual important things to judge a person by isn't who they love, it's why they love and care about the people in their lives. So many subtle things about that show, as outrageous as it was, really showed that togetherness is what is so important.

    Animals under high stress do not reproduce. This has been well established. Humans are animals. The global economy has produced too much stress and the rewards are going to a handful of people, while we suffer to make "line must always go up" a reality for them, we can't afford food. But we did briefly have the world's first trillionaire, so that's pretty nifty.

    I think the bigger concern nobody is addressing is the physics. Yes, while able to throw whatever into space, the initial thrust would place any object under stresses that they are currently not able to withstand. Nothing alive would likely survive the amount of G's from the thrust. The amount of acceleration placed into a stationary object would likely liquify anything solid. I don't think they would use his powers for this as it would likely kill anyone and destroy anything else. If he himself is flying it up at a reasonable rate if acceleration, he would likely be able to charge millions, even if cutting the budget in half it's probably the best thing anybody could hope for, so millions of dollars per event isn't unreasonable. But him being a superhero, he'd likely donate his earnings to charities or something. Which is noble but also tragic that he has to sacrifice his physical strength for a society that doesn't praise selflessness. But I think that's going beyond the scope of the original question

    I mean, accepting you're aging with grace is way better than publicly displaying you're actively fighting a losing battle. We have not made strides so great with medical procedures that you can't tell you've had alterations done. Get enough of them and you look like a lizard person. She absolutely owned her beauty when it was external, now is the time to show the character behind the skin is worth knowing. She's doing that with statements like this imo. But I don't know if that's worth anything.

    I don't have have people that aren't family in my life. I actually don't even have that much family I speak to on a regular basis. She made this when she was 8 years old. Part of a group activity her mom took her to. A group of anyone who wanted to follow along to a Bob Ross video, we all know "the joy of painting". Anyways, she wasn't thrilled with the result. She said she needed more time to get it right. But she was 8. She wasn't in control of the environment, was using someone else's paints (acrylics) with a non prepped small canvas, nobody that day used wet on wet, no pauses allowed, real classroom setting. Anyways, she surprised me the other day when she was home sick from school. Her mother and I, no longer together. I was at work and got a snap notification. She had sent a picture, one she just painted. It was the same painting, done again that day. She controlled everything, the pacing, the canvas, the right oil paints. She didn't say anything, just sent the picture. Her updated and self taught follow up to the same Bob Ross tutorial. And I couldn't have been prouder. She's much like me, doesn't like to do things for performance, doesn't seek recognition or approval from people. Hates people commenting on what she likes to do. I know when I was in piano, I have recitals for that reason. I loved what I loved specifically because I loved it, I didn't need to prove it or show it off. If people commented, even positively, it would make me not want to do it anymore. I know she's exactly like me. So I never pushed her, never told her to pursue it and get better. If she liked it, she would motivate herself. But I, as her dad, can't help but feel proud of how far she's come (she only startedd painting again this year) after that fiasco at 8. But I felt like people needed to see this. I think it's the best thing ever. (I'm new at this so hopefully I get the new one posted here as well)
