That river has 15+ bears in it! I'm assuming the photographer was there to take pictures of the bears fishing. No wonder one might wander to the photographer. Probably also not a hungry bear, just curious.
Both of you are talking about transcontinental passenger service. The video completely agrees with your comments, and says so in the first few sentences. It poses and answers a different question. There are areas of the US where regional intercity rail is completely reasonable. For example, the Northeast megalopolis has a population density of 1,000/sq. mile, which is only slightly less than that of the Netherlands, and with many cities within 200 miles of NYC. Why we don't have good intercity rail service in those areas?
The leveling here is not that of Harrison Bergeron, as you imply, but of the starting line. After all, in an oval race course, the inside track starts further back than the outside. The rich often have the inside track. Why should the course for others be longer by forcing everyone to start at the same line?
I don't think it's neat to use such descriptions, no. Not even if all the cool kids are doing it. Yes, I remember "Star Wars kid", and the ridicule and bullying he received.
There is little need to emphasize American women. By far the heaviest person shown is a man, in the very bottom picture. The heaviest Olympic competitor is Ricardo Blas, Jr., at 200+ kg. Should we discourage judo? It shows several boxers, and over 10% of professional boxers get dementia pugilistica. Should we discourage boxing (which some do)? One of the rhythmic gymnasts is standing en pointe, which may lead to life-long foot problems. Should we discourage ballet? And so on.
I do agree that John's comment about "healthy body" wasn't quite on topic. The linked-to article explored what it means to have an athletic build, not a healthy one.
Based on Wikipedia's list of US metropolitan areas by population it's missing Phoenix (#12), Cleveland (#16), Orlando (#20) and others before getting to Memphis at #46, so it covers 26 of the first 46 major US cities, or somewhat more than half of them.
While an interesting challenge, they quote conspiracy theorists as saying "documentation of the Apollo missions is only available through NASA". This is incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Third-party_evidence_for_Apollo_Moon_landings lists third-party evidence for Apollo Moon landings, including by a radio ham in Kentucky, http://legacy.jefferson.kctcs.edu/observatory/apollo11/ . Also, the theorists are at odds. A different set of theorists say the Apollo 11 astronauts saw alien spacecraft, and while that report was suppressed in the official transmission, they say it was picked up by hams.
