But it's too late to prevent resistance to DDT, it's already happened.

Geez, I'm sorry! That was not my intention. I guess I should have said 'you need to read/watch more science fiction'.
The things that you are saying The Matrix stole from Dark City are not actually original to Dark City in any way. That's not even considering the fact that it's not possible given the filming…

Too late, resistance has already developed in many mosquito populations. Even if you think it's perfectly safe, DDT is just not that effective any more.

"Dark City" story of 'the one' take 1 - damn didn't sell so well - back to the drawing board. Hmmm - how to fix it?

Am I correct in guessing South African? I actually quite like the accent myself, it has a nice sound.

Um, I've seen both movies and I'm pretty sure they're not filmed from the exact same script.

Yeah, so you really think the writers of The Matrix had time to rip off Dark City seeing as there was barely any time between the filming of the two movies? The scripts for both would have been completed long before either of them was filmed. If you want to accuse The Matrix of ripping off something, you'd be better…

Wow, reading through the comments of everyone's food dislikes I wonder how any of you guys ever manage to get an enjoyable meal! Anything other than cooking every meal for oneself must be a risky endeavour.
The only things I straight up dislike are canned tuna and fake banana flavouring. It makes things pretty simple.

They were both made around the same time in the same studio, so I wouldn't call The Matrix a rip off, they both just ended up stylistically similar with parallel themes.

But if it's trying to be an interesting show that people enjoy watching, a simple way to do that is to introduce some variety! We've seen ancient Rome, Elizabethan England and Victorian England many many times so far. Surely they should mix it up a little to keep viewers interested.

You've been doing all that stuff since before the 1930s? Wow.

I've been thinking for awhile that I'd love to see a Doctor Who episode where they go back in time to one of the great African or Middle Eastern cities/civilisations, as the Doctor's travels into Earth's past so far have been pretty predominantly European. The only problem is making sure the writers do their research…

You're saying we haven't caused any mass extinctions? That the scientific consensus isn't overwhelmingly supporting the fact that the changes in our current climate are being caused by us and are preventable? That the denial movement isn't being funded and motivated by fossil fuel companies?

Alright, if you're going to…

Why do you think we haven't caused it? We've already caused mass extinctions and transformed many ecosystems, and the scientific consensus is that we can do something about climate change, but time is quickly running out. With people's lives at stake (not to mention all the animal and plant life that is in danger) it…

You don't have to, because they're the same thing. And you're right, they do not feel empathy (it's been hypothesised to have something to do with mirror neurons), so even if they don't disobey the law and/or become violent they tend to see other people as simply tools to be used for their own advancement, take…

So you admit that climate change will cause human death and suffering, but you think we don't need to do anything about that? That sounds rather... sociopathic.

The point is, people like to point to the changing of the term as some sort of smoking gun, proving the invalidity of the idea of climate change/global warming. Both are accurate, and whatever is causing the warming of our planet and the increase in extreme weather events (scientific consensus: mostly us), it will…

You do know that the reason 'Global Warming' got changed to 'Climate Change' is the same reason 'Sexually Transmitted Disease' got changed to 'Sexually Transmitted Infection', right? Both phenomena are still just as present and real, but the names got changed so that your average person would better understand what…

You don't think gender imbalances in professions are a problem? We should be having the most qualified and talented people in each profession, not the most vagina or penis having person.

Now they need one for the multiple heat waves we in the Southern Hemisphere are experiencing at the moment. I guess the basic armour would be sunscreen: +30 , hat +80 and sunglasses +10 UV protection respectively. Essential provisions would be ice cold sangria: +180 heat reduction (and +5 tipsiness) per glass, and…
