Viagra: for when your south needs to rise again.
The US has no national ID system.
The business is genociding the out-group. It is just the cost of doing business to them.
I always knew Mondrian was painting cow production machines.
The photograph example has local hidden variables. The quantum version doesn't, but nothing has ruled out non-local hidden variables. Locality is a nice property we want the universe to have, but the universe doesn't have to obey our desires.
Were you not in the age group to watch Mr. Rogers? Because he turned out to be exactly what he appeared to be: kind.
A lot of his works are still good. I just won't buy new ones, I won't give him any profits.
None of them, really. Mr. Rogers was genuinely as awesome as he seemed. As a young adult, John Von Neumann, Grace Hopper, and Claude Shannon became my heroes. None have anything particularly bad that I've seen.
There are some people whose work I admire whom I don't like, e.g. Harlan Ellison was famously an asshat. But they're not my heroes, and the work is not the creator.
And the ability to schedule deliveries to happen on a day of the week when you're likely to be present. And the notifications that your delivery is near, so you can be ready to pick it up (important for expensive items).

Yeah, there's never a hard dividing line between a species and its immediate predecessor. Merely a gradual chain of mutations that eventually results in distinct populations. If those populations can't successfully interbreed even if transported to meet, they're different species. The definitions for asexually reproducing organisms are even more fuzzy. This concept that taxonomy doesn't have fixed divisions confuses a lot of anti-evolutionists.
