I guess the secondary directive of the Federation is to gatekeep having fun?
Animation isn't for children by default. Only boring, unimaginative people talk that way about animated stories.
Star Trek has always had violence.
Star Trek has often had profanity. In another alien language sure, but we all knew which Klingon words were curses.
Does sophomoric humor graduate to senior humor when it's subtle enough that you didn't catch it as a child? Humor is SUPER subjective and VERY sensitive to the current zeitgeist, so comparing humor across a franchise that has been around this long seems a little absurd. Data pushed Crusher into the ocean for a laugh, that seems pretty sophomoric to me. Bones regularly joked about Spock's racial differences, that also seems pretty crude by today's standards.
I'm absolutely seeing more of them. They're all relatively new stickers on newer and older cars. They're all of about the same few designs. They're actual bumper stickers, not magnets or signs hung with suction cups in a rear windows, so they're basically permanent. Permanent student driver stickers just don't make any sense for their supposed purpose. The stickers are going to last so much longer than it would normally take anyone to become a mostly proficient driver.
For real though, why are there so many people (who are obviously not new or student drivers) driving around with those stickers? They seem to drive around like that sticker is a license to act like a complete fool on the road and is almost entirely unlike the dumb things your average student driver will do.
I'm always amazed how some people have no self awareness. They have no concerns for others. And yet if you acted like they did and it affected them they would be so pissed.
Like the person sneaking photos of people in public to ridicule them anonymously on the Internet?
What's wrong with taking your shoes off before putting them up on the furniture? Seems the polite thing to do so you don't get snow or mud or whatever other shit is on your shoes on the seat. It's not like there is someone else using either of those seats opposite at the moment. Maybe you're just feeling shame about your foot fetish? It's okay to have a kink about feet, but non-consenting voyeurism is not okay.
They're almost certainly talking about the TNG episode "Pen Pals" where data makes friends with a little girl whose planet is dying.
This is why they are mostly sold with a bitterant outer coating. It should be pretty gross to just hold a recently purchased coil cell battery in your mouth these days.
A small percentage of hyper inflated prices over a large consumer base still equates to MASSIVE profits. It is a fundamental ethical flaw that we even allow for-profit medicine that is compounded by obvious cartel organization structures and corruption.
I'm very pro real books and as a result was hesitant to jump on the ebook bandwagon. That all changed after finishing a particularly large book early during a long trip, lugging those damn dead trees around the country for a while and unable to find anything worthwile to read in along the way. Now with my ebook any book and every book on my "to read" list taking up the same space, same weight, and I don't worry about damaging them because the ebook is waterproof with a rugged cover.
I still buy hard to find and out of print books at used book stores, but those stay home and get gifted to special people when I'm done.
So you're looking for validation, not an honest discussion. This whole thing just got more weird. You're weird.
So we're not getting hand milked by 40 cows while getting figged by 3 cherubs.
It's shorter than saying zero and it's only ever used where context makes the it obviously not the letter. Also, almost all of the other digits are single syllables too. Seven is arguably (I'm no linguist) the only other multi-syllable digit and I think it gets a pass because it's barely more than a single syllable unless you emphasize it.
I don't understand banning sex toys from supermarkets. Every supermarket has sex toys. To say they don't is just naivety. Banning masturbation aids from stores that aren't adults only is only a ban on safe toys. Easy and shame free access to safe toys and prophylactics is a matter of public safety and harm reduction. Restricting those things by law to adults only stores, online, and private parties is cruel and causes harm. The Texas law isn't much different, just dipping a toe in the waters of harmful oppression.
Sex toys and their packaging aren't always inherently obscene or explicit. Y'all can stop clutching your pearls, the kids will be alright.
YYYY-MM-DD is the only non-mental way to write either.
I was only answering your question about why programming a way to parse those common date formats is problematic.
The date is 12/11/2024. Am I talking about yesterday or a day about a month ago?
I was going to say something snarky too, but this is the only sane take here. Nothing more needs to be said.
Ok, not to many other comments, still though.
Bro, if you didn't want people to respond with genuine takes on what you post and if you're going to be so defensive, why are you even here?
Also, I'm not defending anything. DST should be the standard time because we spend most of the year in it anyway. But that's just my own opinion, which I feel no need to defend to you or anyone else.
You're so wound up about making your point and defending your point of view that you're not actually comprehending my comments. It's your map in the sense that you are presenting it to us, who authored it isn't really relevant to this discussion.
Just pointing out the ridiculousness of getting petty and insulting about the way other people define time scales because you don't agree. There is no objective truth here, just subjective opinions. ALL of those opinions and methods have flaws, especially your beloved "everyone should just use UTC". There is no such thing as "correct" here, so putting that word in your map's title and using "right" and "wrong" in this discussion is just naive.
We spend most of our year in daylight savings time. Standard time is the pretendy-magic-time.
