When children are talking about world politics do you get down on your knees and listen to their simple, half-understood analysis or do you say "thats nice, now go do your homework."
That wasn't one of the options you were given but nice try. That's reserved for my own actual children, not jackasses who have the simplistic worldview of a child. Have you ever tried "explaining and teaching" online?

As others have said, Q is an extra-dimensional being, airlocks and the ship and the vacuum of space only exist to him as a concept. There's not really anything any human could do to harm him; they're not our gods but the Continuum definitely has god-like powers and there's only a handful of species on-par with them.

Pretty sure I remember people saying this kind of stuff would happen as soon as deepfakes started being a thing accessible to the public.
We really don't have any solution to this yet. The tech is advancing so quickly at this point; every other month there's a significant jump in capabilities. I feel like the cat is out of the bag, photorealistic AI images are available to the home user with virtually no technical restrictions or limits and no amount of regulation is going to put the genie back in the bottle.
I agree with everything you said but I don't actually see a solution you've posted. Yes we could grow up and have a more mature view of sex and the human body but that doesn't change the ease of access or manufacturing potentially illegal material right now.

What kind of asinine comment is this? What does it even mean? It just seems like a snarky thought-terminating cliché to avoid actually having to engage with difficult ideas. The dead don't notice anything, they're dead. Do you think the living notice they weren't murdered?
I don't know if this is something people say in other countries, but in my country, there's this common cliché or "wisdom" where adults will assure you that the people who picked on you in environments like school will universally develop lives of hardship later on, one way or another getting into mayhem....
I've noticed the growing perception over the last decade or so that atheism some weird belief system or religion of its own. I've heard them say "the religion of science" more than once which is just a complete misunderstanding of what science is.
Some people just genuinely can't conceive of someone not believing in a creator, it has to be understood through the lens of faith for them.
I don't have to; I know from personal experience what it's like to be right and correct. I recommend you abandon you current beliefs and try not being wrong yourself.
Maybe one day you'll wake up and realize that you don't know everything and are not always "right and correct." One day maybe you'll realize that others have lived experiences that are different than yours, but maybe not and you'll just float through life thinking your experience and your views are The Truth.
The concept of “white” as a race dates back to WW2, at most.
Wow I'll make sure to tell all my black friends, I'm sure that'll endear me to them.
When the Irish immigrated to the US, they were considered equivalent to black people by Americans and competed for the same jobs.
Well, this is just completely false, you're completely disconnected from reality. Irish were never blocked from whites-only schools were they? Irish people were never subject to interracial marriage laws afaik. Were any Irish ever entirely excluded from being able to immigrate to the U.S.? I know it's popular among certain groups to pretend certain Europeans faced the same disadvantages as formerly enslaved African-Americans but frankly it's incredibly insulting and tone deaf as fuck.
Theory is fine you guys but you need to actually go out into the world and interact with people sometimes.
