Robin Williams killed himself due to a medical condition rather than a physchological one, and Heath Ledger's death was accidental.

After my previous foray into Linux, I really didn't want to spend a lot of time fucking around with drivers trying to get all my components to work. Ubuntu and its derivatives were about the only things that had my network card and my audio card work out of the box, and while I might be willing to spend some time getting audio working, I am absolutely not going to use a second computer to get networking working on the first.

All the stuff about his birth certificate or potentially being born abroad was totally irrelevant anyway since his mother was a citizen at the time of his birth. The constitution is very clear that citizenship is inherited at time of birth with no additional requirements or hoops to jump through. Literally the only exception for birth citizenship is if your parent is a visiting foreign dignitary. And even then, if one of your parents is a citizen, then so are you.

Your PS1 was indestructible? The optical drive on every one I've ever seen had some sort of significant issue.

Until a writer noticed that the web shooters mean Peter is a once-in-a-century chemist and should be swimming in cash from selling a few things he cobbled together in his apartment. Now, Peter Parker runs a mega-corp. Part of the reason that Miles Morales was introduced is specifically because Peter was no longer an everyman protagonist.

This is partially because the Legendarium was constantly being revised and was never finished, and partially because he wanted it to be self-contradictory, like real mythology.

Similarly, the red fox is clearly orange, but English speakers were exposed to that species of fox before developing a word for that specific color. For bonus linguistical oddities, 'orange' was used for the fruit before it was used for the color.

The Breaking Bad nazis are the main antagonists for the final season. That was how low they had to go to have an opponent worse than Walt. And Walt hired them in the first place.

So, there are these things called candy cigarettes. They are candy shaped like cigarettes. Despite simply being things like bubble gum or chocolate, it turns out that people who ate them as kids are about twice as likely to smoke real cigarettes as adults. This has resulted in them being banned as advertising tobacco products to children in a good number of countries. This add for nonalcoholic beer specifically saying that minors can buy it can easily be argued to be the same kind of thing, with the same kind of legal response. If consuming non-alcoholic beer as a minor results in significantly higher rates of alcohol consumption as an adult, then ads for non-alcoholic beer that target children, like the one shown, might be worth a ban.
