He was probably a sweaty smelly guy and didn't clean very well when he pooped. They don't teach you that in bible studies about how much Jesus would stand out on a smell scale riding a bus today but you could probably smell his butt like 3 seats back

What? No dude. A 115lb male wrestler against a female wrestler of the same weight would utterly destroy her

You could have weight-class equivalents for men and women, like men in this range can face women in that range. There are definitely workarounds if it was something people wanted to do.

Cutest tumor in all of Oncology!
Even forgetting ability, the world has generationally supported a caste of male athletes for so long, that in every scenario of combining the leagues it always results in "there aren't any women in the top whatever# of players".

There's just that many more men in the events.

This goes for even the events that don't rely on physical ability, IE chess-like or whatever. There's just that many more men that have such a head start they're won't be any women in the big leagues.

Man, imagine how bad he smelled up on the cross!

Bet the two guys next to him had to whiff in some divine BO right before they died.

"People have done worse" is the worst argument possible.

Former East German athletes have been committing suicide and dying in agony en masse for years now that their substance abuse caught up with them. And it is made worse by the fact they didn't even have a choice, they either took the dope, or they were prevented from competing. No reason to believe matters would be less coerced nowadays, in a different country with equally "liberal" attitudes.

Substance abuse, suicide, dying en masse etc. aren't limited to athletes. Expecting higher standards from athletes who actually stand to benefit from doping is a bit rich when most of the world drinks, smokes and shoots up every other weekend just for giggles and liver failure.

People do worse to themselves all the time. At least with doping you can make some money in the process.

Why would I want to sit in a stuffy coffeeshop full of hipsters writing their "novel" begging someone to come ask about it when I could just get it and leave and drink it wherever I want?

If it's an environmental thing you should focus on people who buy plastic water bottles and refuse to drink tap water.

I think he means bring a travel mug. Most places will give you a drink in your own travel mug if you ask them to. Chain places like Starbucks and Tims will even often give you one or more free coffees if you buy their free-advertisement brand name travel mug in-store.

An aluminum travel mug probably consumes more resources than a lifetime of disposable cups...

The world only has two futures.
1. A utopian society where everyone is accepted.
2. Nuclear apocalypse caused by stupid reason.
I want it to be the first one but it will probably be the second. Oh well.

I don't want "utopia". I'm really skeptical of whether a society like that would be as "perfect" and wonderful as we think it will be. I'd settle for a future like Star Trek, where we have a more egalitarian and peaceful future with the potential for human growth.

Star Trek pretty much was a utopia though. Or at least, the bits of it that weren't the wild west were. If you lived on Earth or one of the more established planets then it was. Obviously the show focuses on the more interesting stuff, but the average Federation citizen wasn't involved with any of that.

Wasn't he thing with the fake alcohol that (as well as the no hangovers) you could drink it and get drunk but then be instantly sober whenever you liked? But judging by Scottie's reaction, the fake whiskey tasted completely different.

That was a common theme in the series; a replicator could do "good enough" but couldn't fully make the real thing. If you asked a replicator for an apple pie you'd get a decent apple pie based on the rules of what an apple pie was. However, a real apple pie had variables. There's a pretty big difference between taking time to make a hand made apple pie and a machine just conjuring one into existence. It's the difference between home made and processed foods; machines can duplicate a process and make something that is good enough but a real apple pie just like grandma used to make kind of needs the grandma.

What a replicator did in the series was create something that was basically a pattern; if you asked it for whiskey you'd get a liquid that had the overall pattern of whisky. Real creations of such things would have imperfections and differences here and there. The computer would produce whatever it was programmed to think "whiskey" was which might vary dramatically from what Scottie though "whiskey" was. How the machine made an apple pie was probably different from the apple pies you grew up eating.
