<p>White dwarf explosions result in zinc? Can someone ELI5 as to how they know this if a white dwarf has never actually been monitored closely? Or are these just theories? Pluto for example was found to have a haze with newer telescopes so what if the observarions from white dwarfs which are so far away based on assumptions - are not correct?</p>

<p>I never got the argument that its too expensive so we can't have kids. Look at the most impoverished countries - they have much less money but have more kids and often strong senses of purpose and community.<p>All of it is societys perception, how we are being bought up as men and women, our actual purpose, and greed that has killed the desire for children.</p>

<p>People say that if 16 year olds can work, pay tax, and join the army, they should be allowed to vote, but that argument doesn’t really hold up.<p>First off, the UK has one of the most generous tax free allowances in the world, you don’t pay tax on anything under £12,570. Most 16 year olds working part time or on low wages aren’t paying any tax at all, so the whole “no taxation without representation” thing doesn’t really apply here.<p>And let’s be honest, most 16 year olds aren’t working anyway. They’re still in school or college, not out earning or dealing with adult responsibilities.<p>Some people say teens are too immature to vote. Personally, I think it’s more about naivety. At 16, you’re still figuring out who you are, let alone understanding politics or economics. If someone like KSI ran for office, half of them would probably vote him in as Chancellor just for the memes.<p>You learn a lot of tough lessons on the way to adulthood. At 16, you’ve got zero life experience, no bills, no mortgage, no kids, and probably no full time job. So when it comes to voting, they’re more likely to be swayed by TikTok trends or what their mates think, rather than actual policies or ideology.<p>And let’s be real, Labour knows this. Just look at the voting intention by age<p><a href="https://www.statista.com/statistics/1379439/uk-election-polls-by-age/" rel="nofollow">https://www.statista.com/statistics/1379439/uk-election-poll...</a><p>However it will back fire because many that age will split the vote to Greens, Lib Dems and maybe even Corbynites.<p>Next question that courts might ask in cases are, if a 16 year old criminal gets away with more as they are counted as a juvenile, but is considered old enough to choose the lawmakers, does the same adult laws now apply to them? If they are not perceived as mature enough to be considered as an adult criminal, then why is it different for voting?</p>
