Stoicism says something similar, although it gets there via a very different route.

Continuing to support demand for beef at current rates as the population grows means that beef production must increase. That means we need more cows. Where do you propose we put all those cows? The current solution has been to cut down trees to create usable land. What's your alternative?

Indeed. That would be terrible. I sure do hope such a thing never comes to pass. Just imagine how bad it would be.

Just imagine.

The water level will be affected by the car's acceleration, which is likely also affecting your inner ear and causing the illusion in the first place.

Jade Phoenix Mage was pretty cool. The capstone ability was that you literally explode, dealing a huge amount of damage to everything nearby and literally vaporising yourself. Then you reform on the same spot 1d6 rounds later completely healed of damage and most conditions, with all your gear.

Also included in this are reviews on things that are not the product - I remember seeing one that was like "great product, but I'm giving it one star because it was delivered late and the delivery driver was rude" - and reviews based on the buyer's own failings, like "I didn't read the assembly instructions and put it together wrong, and then it didn't work properly, so I'm giving it a negative review".

Pretty sure that's not a movable planter. It's literally a circle of bricks around a hole in the paving so you can plant flowers in the soil underneath. It's not something you can push around. They built it like this, on purpose.

The thing with science is that you can't just accept things because they seem obvious. The scientific method exists for a reason. Sometimes things that look obvious turn out to be false, and sometimes proving an obvious thing to be true is a necessary first step to have a solid foundation from which to build other more nuanced hypotheses. Either way, the point is that studies aren't all about finding some new and surprising conclusion. Sometimes they're about taking something you were pretty sure of already, and making it into actual science.

This is the same thing that happens with Windows and Mac. Your issue was hardware; you could have tried any of the other manufacturers who make Android phones. It's like saying you stick with Mac because you don't like Dell - there are other hardware brands who use the same operating system.
