What will happen when the sun explodes?
The Sun does not have enough mass to explode. Instead, the Sun will expand. Explode and expand are not the same thing. When a star explodes it blows it outer layers into space - a star exploding is called a supernova. When a star expands it expands thousands to millions of times in size. In approximately 4 to 5 billion years the Sun will have no more hydrogen atoms to convert into helium atoms, which will cause the Sun to expand into a red giant start. The Sun will increase approximately 16 million times in size, expanding beyond and swallowing Mercury, Venus, Earth and possibly Mars. Once the Sun is in its red giant phase and its core temperature reaches about 100 million degrees Kelvin it will then start a helium fusion. Earth will no longer exist when the Sun expands into a red giant star.
If it's innocent until proven guilty, then why is the US judicial system rigged against the innocent?
I’m going with the side that says “you have a point”There are a lots of things that are really bad about the U.S. justice system that aren’t evident in many other countries, such as:High bail pending trialLengthy trial delays that encourage people to “plead out” or rot in jail waiting for a trial dateProsecutorial abuse of the system asking for “short” adjournments that they know mean a six week delay until the next available dateIncredibly high minimum sentences that mean going to trial is very riskyAn incarceration rate that’s higher than any other country, including many that don’t have rule of law like North KoreaChronic legal aid underfundingThe root cause is most likely that prosecutors and judges are elected in most places in the United States where in most countries they are civil servants. Even in England, prosecutors are hired, not elected, even though they don’t work for the state. Law enforcement officials are usually elected too. None of these people get votes by being soft on crime.In addition, a lot of people make money off the judicial system and they would lose that money if the system were reformed. The major group of people opposing bail reform are bail bondsmen, who get to keep a 10% fee for putting up bail whether the charges against you are dropped tomorrow or you actually wind up going to trial. A lot of prisons in the U.S. are privately owned as well, and reducing prison populations is bad for business. You may have heard of the scandal in Pennsylvania where a juvenile court judge funneled juvenile defendants into a private juvenile facility he had shares in, often without any notion of a trial.
What is the controversy behind the Captain Marvel movie?
I am going to skip right over the fact that no comic fan actually likes Captain Marvel and the fact that she is low tier on the power scale in the comics but Disney is marketing her as the most powerful Avenger and go right to what I actually consider the main controversy at the moment is and what will probably sink the movie.So after almost three years of hype they finally dropped the trailer for the Captain Marvel movie. And… lets just say it was dull. Really, really dull.There wasn’t much to get excited about in the trailer and and to top if off Brie Larson, someone who somehow won an academy award, manages to have the same bored wooden look on her face in every scene. I mean there is literally a scene where she is having electricity shot through her brain and she still looks bored.So people pointed this out and in response Brie Larson and the shill media went full Ghostbusters 2016 and attacked anyone who didn’t like the trailer as a sexist. As if there has never been a female in the MCU before.You know because that has worked so well in the past. If people give you any kind of constructive criticism there is no reason to learn from it. Instead just attack them as a racist or a sexist. That will make them want to see your movie.In short, I think the main controversy with Captain Marvel is the way that the people in charge and their puppets in the media are responding to the honest opinions of the fans.We already saw a Star Wars movie flop for the same reason recently. Something a few years ago I would have thought was impossible. So I wouldn’t be surprised if this is the first MCU flop. I just thought it wouldn’t happen until after Infinity War part 2.
Reagan unemployment of 7.4 in 84 = amazing, Obama's 7.8= horrible, isn't that an odd standards cons?
what a thoroughly partisan reply byhisello... why if you just looked at JUST your facts... why you would think cons are perfect... lol... did you even mention the cause of Obama's recession ONE TIME... the housing collapse? how can you SO NARROWLY FOCUS ON ONLY ONE NARRATIVE, SO MUCH SO EVEN A CHILD COULD SEE THE BIAS? why bother saying so much that's so blatantly cherry picked? your answer to my other question was much better when you didn't waste your time making a complete fool of yourself... I'm shocked at how you could give such a professional reply in such a comically bias manner... it's like telling a 20 minute joke, in great detail and great energy... that's not funny
The US is the only developed country with a two-party political system, and I believe this has destroyed our great democracy. How do we promote greater diversity by adding more political platforms?
Any first-past-the-post voting system will have a powerful impetus towards having only two parties. It's baked into the cake. That said, I disagree that a two party system is necessarily a bad thing. Usually the complaints about the two party system are along the lines of, "I'm a socialist! Why can't I vote for a candidate with a realistic chance of getting elected?" or "I'm a Libertarian! Why does my party never win? It's unfair!" While I certainly have my own moments of despair along those lines, I always try to remind myself that the fact that my preferred third party might not win elections isn't really the point. Historically, successful third parties in US history disappear. Why do they disappear? Because one of the major parties co-opts their message to grab their voters. That's pretty much exactly what happened with the Populist Party near the end of the 19th century, and they radically changed the Democratic Party. Under such a scenario, even if my party is destroyed, the ideas that they held get brought to national prominence and have a shot at being implemented. Also, the two party system has one significant advantage over one of proportional representation, in that extremists have a very hard time getting to national prominence (and before someone starts going on about how Ted Cruz or Rick Santorum is an extremist, those guys are a long way from Golden Dawn). The two party system does a pretty good job of moderating policy, all in all.
