We are scientists and engineers and should know better than post links to websites. Why should I trust MAPS instead of getting an actual FDA release? I couldn't confirm this myself on the FDA website. I don't know these people and they seem to have a vested interest in promoting this stuff, so it may be a bit overhyped.

Your self-esteem should be intrinsic for you to be a balanced person. Demanding that society accept you and telling yourself how great you are is a defensive behavior associated with low self-esteem. Try actually focusing on solving problems in a tangible and lasting way instead of covering them up.
Obesity causes depression, low self-esteem, poor memory and focus. The obesity epidemic should not be acceptable, and you're living in a fantasy world if you think life is just as great for a fat person, as it is for a healthy one. We must fight the food industry, not the cosmetic industry or the Hollywood studios, for the right to a healthy diet where unnecessary amounts of sugar and fat are added on to everything, and portions large enough for 4 people are sold as individual portions.
Fast forward 1000 years. Your flying car is running on essentially free energy thanks to its "gravity engine" (tm) which draws upon Physics so extreme, that to become aware them, you would have had to setup something as massive as a white dwarf orbiting a black hole, and study it for 30 years, before being able to reproduce this phenomenon in laboratory conditions, let alone miniaturize it.
And ice can also quickly sublimate in a vacuum depending on the temperature, and during the day the Moon temperature rises above the boiling, let alone melting point of water. The Moon's gravity is too low to retain water vapor, so as soon as you get liquid water it disappears within minutes. Meters of ice would sublimate in a day. If the Moon had a 3 km thick layer of ice, like we do, it would sublimate in 10 years. You don't need heat or impacts, just some basic knowledge of thermodynamics.These well-known facts have been around for over 100 years. You would have to have ice in permanent shadow at the bottom of a polar crater to get water. But, on a side note, we already sent impactors to the most likely place where water could theoretically exist and did not find any.
I don't know much about Physics but I did some quick math on the NASA results and we are talking about 5 micronewtons per watt, not 0.1 newtons per watt. If this affects your conclusion about perpetual motion, or not, is something I am not knowledgeable enough to judge. But I would love to learn more from you!
Modern Psychology believes that drug use is a form of self-medication. People will instinctively gravitate to things that make them feel better. Article states causality has not been established... it's just a BS correlation.
It seems to me that it is a safe bet that the known limitations of Physics will never be overcome, to such an extent that we will be able to dominate the galaxy. I.e. FTL travel doesn't seem like it will ever be more than science fiction. Many phenomena are governed by a dipole curve, where things start slowly, then hit a tipping point where they rapidly accelerate until they reach a new level of stability. You see this in economics, in Physics / Chemistry, in the evolution of new species, etc.
Why are we alone then? If alien civilizations had arisen 1 billion years before ours, and developed technology beyond our dreams, wouldn't they at least leave a trail of some kind?
Something to consider is that radioactivity decreases with the age of the universe. There is a certain probability that a % of an element will be a radioactive isotope when such elements are created. Less and less heavy elements are being created as the universe ages, and existing ones decay. This means that life will arise more easily.
If you divide the distance walked by the number of days since I started playing... which includes many days where I didn't play, and some where I played 8 hours. Lost 15 lb and slimmed down considerably! Also met two really cute geek girls who were happy to let me play with their, ahem, pokemon!;) Grab them by the pokemon I say!:D
And we know lots of carbon has been trapped under the ice, leading to doomsday predictions that it will begin to decay and increase non-human CO2 in the atmosphere as well as CH4, as we melt the tundra.
There is a limit to how much plants and algae can survive with existing nutrients, plus we've been killing them. Not to mention some stuff falls to the ground or the ocean bottom, never to return its oxygen again. Not everything rots.I imagine complex life having arisen and expanded even before we were around might have had something to do with it as well. Lots of animals eat plants.
That sort of thing already exists. Not sure if co-op or association is the right term in english, but man, wtf, why do people reinvent the wheel all the time, there is already a legal model for electing and firing your leadership.
Studies have shown that 100% of all people BORN, will eventually DIE:) Increased birth rates will necessarily lead to increased death rates somewhere down the line.
And that is precisely why I am good at it. I would never write long-winded BS that was mostly copy-pasted, loaded with huge if-else chains that can't be unit tested. At my current job I delete more code than I produce. I refactor the BS written by junior coders in the past ten years and it is not uncommon to replace 100 lines of code with 2 or 3. Deleting BS code is so satisfying 3 "Work smarter, not harder!"
If the rich don't suddenly turn half the world into an authoritarian regime, start killing the poor and feeding them to each other, civil unrest may lead to war and massively thin the population. Or what have you. The UN predicts the world population will peak at 9 billion and then go down on its own...
None of my old CDs work anymore. You thought you owned yours forever? You must be young. Nothing is permanent. Everybody dies. Everything will rot away. In order to preserve anything, you must continuously renew and repair it. This incurs an ongoing cost. You can pay for it yourself with your own time and money, or have someone take care of that for you. Like a landlord, or Apple.
It has been 70 years already since the first nuclear bombs were used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, it is only to be expected that scientific and technological progress democratizes these things. My phone has more computing power than every single 1945 computer in the world put together. Millions of people know fairly advanced physics and electronics.
Has anyone actually been sick lately? The most sick I've ever been was catching the odd cold in the winter but these days I take the flu shot, so, not even that. Most bacteria and viruses are harmless, they're everywhere, you inhale and ingest them routinely. That's why you have a strong acid in your stomach and antibacterial mucus lining your respiratory tract? Gotta love that immune system!:)
They have kids with the high testosterone alpha males, and then some of them go on to do menial work, turn out to be aggressive, or they simply grow tired of each other after some years. But their first choice is usually some animalistic notion of "good genes". And then later when they're older and wiser they marry the type of beta male they had friendzoned before, because they're more peaceful, less risk-taking and often smarter and more successul.

Let me start by saying... Can we be less american-centric? I bet statistics show most users here are not american. As for UX: Just look at your competitors and do the same as them. People expect certain modes of interaction. This is like, UX haphazardly developed by "bits and bytes" geeks, and I myself am one of those old school bit logic and assembly lovers, but I'm not going to pretend I can do a decent GUI (let alone that I would enjoy it). Showing raw ID codes for users? ID codes for posts? What. You call this web design? I mean I stare at IDs in databases all day long, but normal users shouldn't see the guts of a system. What other website / forum has such a limited number of votes? The zoo system. Do people actually use that? It's strange and unwieldy. Preview? Why? Can we just edit our posts like everyone else has been doing for the past 15 years, in forums, social networks, whatever? Why do we have to have a privileged few random people moderating? In other places, everyone can vote, or "Like", or "+1" a post.

You can kill a pokemon with twice your CP if you know how to dodge its attacks properly and hit its weakness, i.e. "It's super effective"

For a lot of people in Romania that is otherwise known as 3 months pay.
