What are soft sciences supposed to do when experimental methods are either impractical or unethical?

Same thing astronomy did.

Hey genius, if you need experimentation in order for a field to be a real science, then explain how astronomy is a science.

It's mainly called social science in my country.

Same with Astronomy.

Y'all straight people who only just heard of this discourse should spend more time listening to asexuals

[–] exocrinous@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago

They’re just being puritanical or shy with their movie watching company.

Or asexual and sex repulsed, or sexually traumatized. Why do you jump straight to calling people reactionaries when there are perfectly good legitimate reasons for their behaviour? It's almost like you don't believe in asexuals.

Can't you red card the bullies?

Well the last one was One so this one must be Two

For someone raised in a city, all bears are strange. Whereas, a man has to have some visible deviation from normal behaviour like a red armband or an anime porn hoodie in order to be strange.

Bill was great tho

First off, that's an incredibly reductive description, especially considering Moffat ran it for a few years. Second, The Owl House is 100% a kids show and had much better stories than the last time I watched Dr Who

Some comic-book events feature a black Superman, and that raises questions about whether Kryptonians coincidentally match every ethnic group on Earth

Not exactly, but they have dark and light skin. Krypton's red sun is a big deal in Kryptonian health. Kryptonian communities living closer to the equator would probably evolve higher melanin the same as humans did. Actually, light-skinned Kryptonians require a bigger suspension of disbelief than dark-skinned ones do.

And obviously the racial dynamics between dark and light Kryptonians wouldn't be the same as on earth. It would depend upon factors like the shape of continents, the location of arable soil, of large herbivores and of predators, and of minerals.

Fun fact: swords made out of meteorites are a common trope in Japan, because Japan has poor iron and big mountains.
