  • I mean, Thanos isn’t even that tough. Most of the people fighting him were just human+ power level (notice how they specifically de-powered the Hulk for that fight?). A lot of characters could take him relatively easily.

    Somebody mentioned Kerrigan. Yup. Zeratul would ‘Nothing Personnel, Kid’ the purple guy. Talandar (formerly Fenix) could fuck him up in a straight fight - the dude has died twice, he ain’t afraid of shit. All of the Zerg charcters, probably.

    The Doomslayer, obv.

    An entire collection of characters from Diablo. Good old Tyrael would bust him open, but any of the angel or demon characters could do that.

    Kinda want to put him in a room with Jack of Blades. Nothing kills a supervillan like another supervillan.




  • Yep that’s what I meant to say lol. Also a healthcare worker, and I agrew on the obesity problem. I’ve seen a couple different work comp claims for nurses that were injured trying to move/help very large patients, and it’s a bit messed up. When we reach the point that we need mechanical assistance to move you, something’s gotta change. Trying to shame people into changing their habits demonstrably doesn’t work, so we need to be looking at other options.

    Healthcare accounts for around 1 to 5% of carbon emissions.

    Meanwhile, the meat industry accounts for about 35% of carbon emissions.

    Yah, healthcare is absolutely not the problem. Feel bad about the environmental impact of your medicine? You could probably make up for it with like one less meat meal a week.

    EDIT: Archive.org link to bypass paywall for the article OP linked. Good read; they estimate healthcare as 8% of total emissions. Reading through, it seems it mostly focuses on insulin pens (which are an absolute godsend). I can’t help but think that attempting to recycle those is entirely the wrong strategy, and that we should instead focus on reducing diabetes cases in the first place. Losing weight, reducing sat fats, and eating fiber are all correlated with reduction of diabetes risk. I think we need some good old big-government regulation to start penalizing foods that have those things in them. We’re all paying the price for them already, time to start making the corporations do it instead.
