Preeeeetty sure they're not talking about your dad spanking you.

Just study it the same way you study any dangerous or harmful thing... study cases. You don't have to create situations in a controlled environment to never the less do science.

Comparing them to lolicon enjoyers would be rough, but I bet social scientists already have some methods figured out for studying that kind of stuff.

Colloquially accurate, though. Weird to use such a restricted definition of a word that has MUCH more common understanding...

hyperpalatable

Well I'm glad we have different palates then!

There is more building under them. Only a small portion extends past.

Eugenics isn't inherently bad. If you prefer dating humans without genetic defects, congratulations; you're a eugenicist.

Do you prefer blondes or brown hair? You're preferring genes again! Don't like people with potato bodies? There you go preferring genes...

Find out your fetus has a genetic defect and won't live past five even if you birth them, so you abort? Cheer on genetic therapies that could solve such issues? Congratulations, you've practiced eugenics!!

Eugenics itself is not bad. It's the racist fuck desire to want to "cleanse" the "race" of humanity that's bad.

Nah. We lost fur hundreds of thousands of years ago and never needed it again to survive several ice ages. So I'd say we've definitely evolved past fur thanks to the 'advanced' tool usage of... clothing.

Great games, but that's more of just flavor text than a manual type situation.

Ehhh, it's not THAT uncommon for older couples to grow some resentment. The whole boomer, "I hate my wife" DOES come from somewhere, and spiteful people that are legally bound to each other will do all sorts of stupid shit before they split.

... Though usually it's from people a little more shitty than Walt. The sort of people who turn into selfish egotists a little easier than getting a cancer diagnosis and a bag of cash. Granted, the show did a great job showing how they were both flawed and both had a touch of ego in their normal lives. Walt's just happened to explode feeding off his resentment of his old business partner, and recent success producing.

In Skyler's defense, she was staying because she was an accessory after the fact, not that she was terribly OK with it. I've definitely seen people make that level of dumb decision before, and about as big of life decisions, too, with far less payout than millions of dollars and a viable laundering scheme!

Carbs generally are not a dietary problem. It's excess sugar and excess calories that are getting most people (at least in the west) fat, more than carbs. Yes, excessive carbs can contribute to excessive calories, like eating fries with every meal is definitely going to get you there, though your body needs carbs far more than it needs sugar!

Hence why when most people cut out even just sugar filled drinks and desserts, they can often exercise past how many carbs they eat.

He wasn't doing it as a threat. He was doing it because he was a gentleman who happened to be seeking revenge.
