There's a whole world of media consumers who don't get hung up on details like us nerds. I kind of envy them.
Time to turn in your nerd card.

I have always hated the concept of "genetic superiority." Even if provable, it would not tell us anything about any individual. Which makes it 100 percent pointless.
I agree with your sentiments about race.
Perhaps something interesting would be to determine how much Neanderthal DNA is present in "modern" humans.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but Caucasians and East Asians have more than any other "racial" group
You forgot that no military vessel in a desperate, struggling rebellion is gonna takes orders from a woman with purple hair and a prom dress.
You have to remember that the costume/makeup people had just returned from Burning Man before the shoot.
Oh gods yes there are plenty of original ideal, better ideal around that could be told instead of rehashing the same trash over and over. I have a whole library of books behind me, I can turn around, close my eyes, and randomly grab 3 books that would make better movies that the drek we are seeing today.
Can't figure out why then never made any films based on Larry Nivens ideas/books.
Or Jack Chalker(Well of Souls).
They are just making bad films these days
Have you seen The Lighthouse?
I don't have any idea why the Democrats are going forward with impeachment
You probably don't have any idea because you don't understand the phrase "rule of law".
Californians have no one to blame for this mess but themselves.
When the tech companies really took off and brought lots and lots of jobs into Silicon Valley and San Francisco the fait accompli was done.
I used to live there and still go back to visit often and I have seen how bad it has gotten since the 90s.
The traffic is worse, it is too crowded, the housing crisis can't be fixed, etc;
Before Google and FB really took off, it wasn't that bad.
And having people not wanting to sell their homes because of prop 13 and become landlords in perpetuity didn't help either.
And a general NIMBY attitude with people who already "had theirs", most of whom aren't locals, but people from other states and countries who moved there from the 70s-2000s.
The Bay Area is nothing but transplants, who now think they are "locals".
Oh come on! Somehow the rest of the country is able to do it. What's different? Crazy California political policies.
The property tax backlash in the 1970s and proposition 13 are part of the problem.
Antifa members that participate in violent demonstrations should be hunted down and beat into bloody pulps.
What about Proud Boys and other extreme right wing Neo-fascists?
Or would you give them a pass?
Is your bloody pulp beating only for those who disagree with you politically?
a partisan inquiry in secret and deny due process that any criminal is given in the US.
Is the inquiry excluding Republicans?
Is it only Democratic members of Congress in the interviews?
From what I have read Republicans are in the interviews with witnesses and are able to ask questions if they want to.
Is that not the case?
If Republicans are present in the interviews and do know what the interviewees said and their statements, then your description of partisan is off the mark and hyperbolic.
It is only the left that goes out of its way to destroy the career of scientist who reaches some other conclusion that what is socially acceptable to the left.
I'm going out on a limb here, but I'm going to assume your statement has something to do with climate change.
Why don't you enlighten us to how a scientists career was destroyed because of his/her stance on climate change?
Why don't you show us the volumes of data and analytics to prove that climate change is a Chinese Hoax?
In my country even right-wingers are implementing green party policies!
From your username/id I assume you are from the Netherlands, where perhaps yes, as you say even right-wingers implement green party policies.
But the majority of right wing politicians world wide do not.
Here in the US, "green party policies" or anything seen to benefit the environment at the cost of "economic progress" is fought tooth and nail by the right wing and their corporate masters who actually call the shots.
Your comment,
this concept of humans being the problem is false
is quite humorous, like listening to Flat Earthers try to rationalize their "theories".
the mud flows will choke and kill rivers, mass erosion heavily polluted coastal waters, dying off ecology due to extremely cloudy waters, and the loss in crops due to collapsed rainfall will be huge and those rivers will permanently shrink. That ecological catastrophe for Brazil will be far worse for them, than the rest of the world. The amount of soil to be deposited at the mouths of Brazils rivers will be huge, ten thousand years worth of mud in a century
If what you say comes to pass, then the problem will be just as bad for the rest of the world as it is for Brazil. The Earths ecosystems are interconnected, you should remember that. The Amazon river deposits a lot of silts into the Atlantic, and the marine life in the oceans benefits from that.
Something like what you describe wouldn't be something to celebrate.
