Not trying to being mean but mediocre talents are generally talents that people never put the effort in to get better. Now, I'm basing that on the premise that talents are natural abilities in any given area. Not to be confused with people that never get great at something they've put alot of effort into. If you're mediocre at something you've put a ton of work into that just means you didn't have a talent in that area. That doesn't invalidate your ability, it just means you didn't have a natural talent in that area. Plenty of the greats didn't have talent in their areas but through massive effort and good teachers they've bridged the gap between the talentless and talented. The downside is that if a talented person puts just as much effort into it they'll most likely be that much better than their counter parts.

Well, "regular" bugs are eaten by many all across the globe so I don't see the problem. Honestly, this is a bit condescending. This is like someone deciding that red isn't a color because it falls into the 625–740 nm wavelength. And to them any color that falls into that range is not a color. I mean I'd get it if there was some sort of ethical or moral reason but this is just I don't like that therefore you don't get to like that either.

See now that makes me want to see a movie that takes place during modern times where every mythological being of a particular culture suddenly exists. All of them. No exceptions. Then watch as people scramble to remember all the old tales, the folk tales, the old wives tales that told them how to deal with those beings.

These are beyond dumb. A more accurate depiction: Picture Earth^^ completely fine and smiling. Then picture one hair sliding forward. There. That's it. That's the entire extent of the effect of humans on the planet. A momentary blip hardly even noticeable by the planet. The planet meanwhile doesn't care a single iota about it's ability to have life, support that life, or what that life might entail. If anything humans comparable to the benign microscopic life that lives on your skin. Not the ones could cause an infection if they get in a wound. Just the ones that live, eat, breed, and die by the billions that we don't even notice because they do nothing to us nor could they even if they tried.

I use a Rainx windshield wash that's pretty handy. It means that in most cases my wipers only need to be on low or timed settings and everything is perfectly visible. You never want to be the guy that has it set on high for just a little bit of rain. What ticks me off is when you see people who don't turn on their headlights when it's raining. If your windshield wipers are on your headlights, according to the law (US), should be on. I have yet to see a State that didn't have inclement weather as a criteria for when you must have your headlights on.

This makes the large assumption that those knowingly choosing wrong (i.e. unethical or immoral choices) actually care about those choices. A good person who chooses to do the wrong thing may experience guilt over it. A bad person could probably care less and be completely happy with their choices.

Either strawberry or vanilla. Either is good. I have yet to taste a chocolate that was actually good.

Knowing that it's The Onion and what that means and moving onto the you really expect me to believe that man has 45000 friends? I thought their whole schtick was that it's generally a somewhat believable story even if absurd and completely made up.

I can see three totally legit reasons why this would happen. First, someone agreed with or was loyal to Hitler and purposely didn't remove the picture because it would then be destroyed. Two, someone was just lazy and had a "million of these things to do" and just slid it up there because "I literally could care less". Three, it was a practical joke that probably just got forgotten about.

I'm not sure how the embodiment would work but I'd be willing to give it a shot.

2D? Poorly fleshed out cartoon with wildly over the top quirks and cliches? A fictional character imagined and developed by strangers for mass consumtion?

Anyone else notice that the globe is backwards? That's the west coast of the US but according to that globe it's the east coast.

I know they're a bunch of nutjobs but why vegans? There's nothing in the bible that says you can't abstain from eating meat or animal based products. Not that I'm a vegan. It's just really weird to throw those guys in with unbelievers and cannibals.

This looks like what someone who doesn't know what a bomb is supposed to look but has heard snippets of things from various sources. Watch? Check. Wires? Check. Explosives? Check? Batteries? Check. Random bullet to act as shrapnel? Check. Pipe? Check? Taped together into one package? Check. Besides that fact that this is clearly showing, a dummy grenade with the pin still in it and the clip completely locked in place by the fleshlite with a random assortment of things taped to but not connected to anything, the Mayor is an idiot.

Well, that'd be alright. Was just playing Boundless.

Yes, and no. Generally, those stories that follow that trope are referring to unintended consequences or those acts done on accident. The other more common bit is the amount of time the change is coming from. It's not 10, 20, or even a 100 years. It's 1, 2 or 300 million years. Oh, and did I mention unintended consequences? Cause that's really important. It's the changes you didn't plan on and are always "worse" that everyone is worried about. No one talks about making small changes that better everything because that's already something people talk about and in truth is rather boring. Anecdotal though it is, the fact that this is the premise of the original post proves my point. And before someone jumps in and says we don't ask yourself how often you've been asked or heard "What can we do to make things better?" Most likely at work, or a business or service you've used.
