When I was a kid growing up there were lots, and lots of toy commercials on TV then I think it was sometime in the late 80s or possibly early 90s they phased out toy advertising in Australia, and I don't know why they had this nanny state idea that toy advertising was bad but it was a thing. For a while they did vanish from TV screens. So why did the government think it knows best?

Australia has this fascination with nanny state governing.

Had a dream last night which made no sense involving the zombie apocalypse, coming across humans who couldn't die no matter what I did to them, and I seemed to have an unlimited amount of superpowers just by thinking them up. Somehow that last part carried over into the next dream and the powers were explained away by me being a Q.
 
Watching Prometheus and then Alien Covenant what's the deal with the Engineer people? They can build hyper advanced ships that can travel to Earth and back, and deadly living weapons that rewrite DNA yet they dress like they are primitive people living almost in the stone age, and their world didn't seem all that advanced at all.
