Trying your best and doing it right are 2 different things. It is time this butthurt world re-understands this. Someone should have told her she sucks at it. And yes, it would hurt her feelings but also opening up opportunities for her to pursue something else she will, undoubtedly, be better at.

She can still dance like this if she wants to with all the passion in her heart, but break dance competition, nope.

First point: fair enough, I see the flaw. But then we're changing to a more ethical dilemma: does a charismatic person deserve more chance to live?

Second point: with half the population left, there is more time to solve things (caused by humanity). Global warming, for example, will likely be solved by just the snap alone.

Maybe he could have made it that every female can only bare 2 children, that would gradually reduce population. But that would put a huge strain on the younger generation to take care of the elder.

About the 2 faction problem, theoretically 50% of each faction will be gone. Chances are big that the power balance remains the same. But you can idd argue that making 1 faction completely dissappear is also 50% and statistically possible.

About the influential people (let add geniuses to be complete). Those persons are not unique, nobody is irreplaceable. Someone else will step up to be equally influential, Someone else will figure stuff out.

The reason he choose that action is not to be biased and give everyone an equally 50% chance of survival. In his eyes, a cleaning lady deserves an equal chance to a CEO.

The next generations will bounce back. They will not have experienced the thanos snap.

Thanos; I can understand his reasoning, his solution doesn't favor anyone either and seemed painless.

Was going to use it as a background, but the artifact ruins it.

I guess I am. But they should add "too poor to convert to electric" in that bubble.

You're ignoring my statement when you say "not everything needs to change today".

When subsidizing switches from oil to renewables (this is what stop oil wants) there is no gradual transition because oil will be too expensive. If that happens I can't afford heating or transportation unless I replace those with electric, which I can't afford either.

If EU manufacturers didn't charge 35k for a car that barely fits 3 people, we wouldn't need to turn to these chinese cars.

Imagine hitting a dent in that bulge. Metal doesn't dent back out, I'll be a struggle to walk or strip your armor while it is crushed the entire time.

It is today's equivalent to catching it between your zipper.
