Neil DeGrasse Tyson is like that weird uncle who didn't molest you. You don't understand a thing he says, but he's fascinating.
Shower Thoughts MK2
- Thread starter Specter Von Baren
- Start date
Halo 5 is basically "The Fugitive" told primarily from Tommy Lee Jones' perspective with the audience knowing all the facts upfront.
Noy really a shower thought, but I don't understand why so many diseases come from China. Why not like India? That place also has a huge population and is very unsanitary.
The Dark Knight or the Dark Knight Rises.
I can agree with Rises if you want to break it down like that but The Dark Knight at least ended on some idealism about the human condition that I felt was much needed given the cynical nature of the characters and plot involved.

Not exactly, as shown in the Meme above it's more that they are marking the junk food with stickers that list why it's junk food, people are particularly fascinated with zero sugar Coke since it's specifically marked for having a high sugar content, but anyway that's all that's been done at this point as well as promises of stricter regulation in the future, which given their track record it's unlikely, but it's basically an attempt by the government to address the obesity epidemic going on in the country while completely failing to understand what the root cause is, if you like want to discuss it further I can go into the expected capitalism sucks rant.
Youtube! Can you stop with these F$(%*)!@ aggressive as crap commercials?! I'm just trying to watch a 15 second cat meme video and you're forcing me to watch two commercials in a row before I can. STOP!

If I had to guess, I'd say that the quality of living in China is good enough that diseases spread very quickly since people can more easily move about or out of the country. Perhaps a difference in culture when it comes to food plays a part as well, I'd think Indian people are more particular about what they eat.
Yeah, my dad used to tell me stories about how you'd see human feces just on the sidewalk in India. My best guess is that the divide between the rich and the poor in India is so wide, any diseases that develop in the poor areas stay in the poor areas and therefore go unreported.
A similar thing is happening in my country right now. For the first few months of the pandemic, only those wealthy enough to travel abroad were contracting Covid.
I'd imagine so, any literal difference being so nominal, it'd not be worth considering. Based "on" or based "off of" a true story mean the same thing to me, personally.
Not the country; welcome to the English language.
Point in case: Bomb, comb and womb: three completely disparate and unrelated words, each pronounced differently and the only difference being the first letter...
