Fire departments have quite a few people out and about doing various things. They don't (at least if properly maintained) just sit around doing nothing unless they're sleeping.

And the only side that ever gets heard is make women as sexy as possible. Men get big badass armor, while women get to run around naked.

You have no idea what you're talking about. Women constantly complain constantly speak up and always get told to sit down and stfu. It's kinda funny you claim I'm making broad judgements but, you go ahead and just shut me down by doing the same thing. The gaming industry is hostile towards women by design and gamers continue to treat it as though it should remain that way. Be it making women weak fan service characters or allowing sexual harassment to keep on. Anytime they speak up they get told "But not all women" and told to shut up.
Would you argue that there should be zero fanservice in any game? If not, is there acceptable fan service?

It's fine to an extent to criticize certain outdated tropes or stupid trends. I think the crusades against specific games are getting a bit old at this point. It doesn't render them immune from criticism, but some people do need to realize there is a market for stupidly gratuitous sexualized designs and there is a market for whatever some western developers are doing with their character designs.

What??? Mar's problem is that it has no magnetosphere to protect the planet from solar radiation. Any atmosphere that wants to form is largely stripped away by the solar winds. Mars colonization must either be in bubbles, subterranean, or terraformed by somehow re-igniting the Martian core so that it builds a magnetosphere.
Something about melting the polar ice caps. I think an article determined it'd be "feasible" if we nuked it with like thousand of nukes per day for a long period, but, aside from being unrealistic to pull off, that'd also mean it's fucking radiated to shit as well.

Elon is a vaporware merchant who has done pretty much nothing that has actually had any real merit whatsoever. Every major promise is unfulfilled, and he has no clue as to what he's talking about most of the time. The most he's done is repackage existing tech and then fail on his promises to revolutionize them.

So this would be stupid criticism of a proper study, but it's likely proper criticism of anything he has his hands in.

If it's not safe for human testing, it shouldn't be considered safe for animal testing.
There is no such thing as "safe for animal testing" beyond simply making sure you have a viable model and you're not wasting time. You test things on animals to get a feel for how it will react with humans. Nobody is saying that we should put animals through unnecessary suffering. I'm sure there have been pointlessly cruel experiments on animals and animals that have been mistreated even when it's not necessary to the study. But that doesn't mean there isn't massive benefit when you can correlate their suffering to actual advancement.

For some things, you need to work out a ton of different shit before we make it to even being slightly safe to begin human testing. Suffering should be to a minimum, but I'd sacrifice ten thousand monkeys to extreme suffering and pain to let a single paralyzed child walk again. Though that would be under the assumption that it's viable tech. Lambaste this shit all you want because Musk is a putz.
