It's annoying to keep collapsing and uncollapsing the ribbon. Also, the old-style tool bars were ALSO context sensitive (in some software). That's not something new to ribbons.
Both the old style and ribbons did that. The biggest problem with the ribbon is that it's a screen real-estate hog.
Other than that, the ribbon hasn't improved anything I've noticed. The UI was rather arbitrary before the ribbon and it was arbitrary afterward also. In that case, don't move stuff. You get used to the arbitrary positions and memorize them. When the ribbon came along, I had to relearn it all.
All those options should be "googlized" so that one can search options based on key-words and synonyms. There's too many for hierarchical menus to be effective.
claimed that the Rebel Alliance would have been off better had they not destroyed the two Death Stars because what they're left with is a Galactic Economy in ruin
So the Death Star may be too-big-to-fail? Well, then break up the monopoly into many smaller Death Asteroids and let them compete with each other. If you want to fry big planets, then you use multiple Death Asteroids on the same target.
It's also easier to sell off Death Asteroids because only big clusters could afford a full Death Star. Death Asteroids could be sold to the more numerous smaller clusters.
Why not just fill it up with fake spoilers instead? Nobody will then know what's real. That way you don't have to delete contributions and look like a mean censor.
Suppose our universe is an emulation, and the "server admin" of this emulation sometimes speaks directly to the brains of some of his/her "pet humans". The server admin would essentially be "God".
Well, we can get rid of government and go live in caves. Cavemen didn't have to pay stinkin' taxes. And no bureaucracy: issues simply settled with a big wooden stick.
Criticizing religion is often pointless anyhow. It's usually not based on anything empirical. Example:
Bob: "Zeus wants me to chop heads off."
Fred: "Why should we believe you?"
Bob: "Zeus told me personally. I felt it in my bones."
Fred: "Well, I think you are delusional."
Bob: "I don't care what you think. I know what Zeus told me. He's more powerful than you. Now stand aside and let me finish chopping or you'll be next..."

Is "it" the infection caused by the bacteria, or the condition of being stupid enough to inject oneself?
No thanks. I'll pass.
Amen! Many people like gambling and cards, and relating that to statistics will draw their attention.
Maybe also explain gambling addiction and show why it usually doesn't pay. Statistics can help them understand why it's a dead-end.
now the poor cat has to go back to her day job.
How about allowing the user to customize the interface to some extent. Here's some notes that use web browsers as examples:

How about a bunch of Trump quotes. The book would be huuuuuge!
Now they can get a life and go out to eat at "Super Lucky Happy Golden Family Noodle House".

The never detain kids who look like Howdy Doody for "odd devices", it's always dark skin or turbans.
We need a bigger Shoe Lobby that has NRA-like influence.

No wonder us Slashdotters have a reputation for spending too much time alone in the basement lab.
Anyhow, I'm making him solar powered now. No connectors.
That's a simple configuration switch. Go into the menus: Edit > Preferences > Personality > Romance

The W-M-Ds were probably also inflated fakes.
Money may not mean much after an apocalypse. Let's see your apocalypse simulation outcome distribution.

You can't entirely rule that out.
If one claims a deity told them such acts are "meant to be", then what?

Ahhh, the good ol' days.

That issue is debated elsewhere in the reply pool. It may be as much about getting away from dangerous people as it is physical conditions.
True, if you show up, the plan is off.
There is. It's called "Silverlight".
