"And besides, according to all known laws of aviation..."

Lol I love when the bee movie script shows up in unexpected places

Well someone has to educate these barbaric savages, don't you know.

I'm not going to tell you you're wrong about having a type of advantage due to size, but I will say in actual fights, unless you're against someone the size of Halfþor Bjornsson, it won't matter enough to protect you.

And when it comes to knife fights, one person dies on the spot, the other gets to die on the way to the hospital.

Someone once said "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth"

Keep attending self-defense classes and learn to kick assailant ass the proper way!

I feel personally attacked.

I'm sorry everyone, I just like commenting and talking to people more than trying to be creative.

Tldr: Long winded way of saying "is he wrong to assume that?"

American here, I can assure you that the majority of the people around me have absolutely no idea about anything involving the UK government.

In the last month I have overheard two separate conversations in different states, asking if the UK has a "president", and at least one got the answer "no, they have a queen".

I'm not even sure most Americans are aware the queen died. I'm not sure how they could possibly have missed it, but our country is collectively under a rock, so...

I have heard many people over the years trying to argue US law for things happening in the UK.

I have had to inform a great many people that the UK includes Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland. Most people have been surprised to find out Ireland isn't united as a single country.

Americans in general are not smart. Even less informed about anything that happens outside the US than I assume most people in the EU know about the US state Ohio.

I can't hear anyone say "Hard Tack" without immediately hearing clack clack in my head.

Name and shame them to their famlies. Their kids, esp. if they have any, will be mortified.

Oh you sweet summer child...

I usually skip s1&2 of tng when I re-watch except a few key episodes.

Some things just don't click with me, or are just too on-the-nose to take seriously.

TOS is particularly bad when it comes to themes that boil down to "don't be racist and sexist", but they're all a product of the times. And CLEARLY we still have those issues today, but it's preaching to the choir vibes when I watch them.

I don't have to like any of the shows, but I do feel I still need to support them, otherwise we might not get more because the corps that own the IP don't hear enough praise.

I can appreciate that it paved way for more shows while also not caring for it.

With apologies to everyone who loves it, I don't particularly care for TOS. Yet without it I would have none of my favorite shows.

Neat! My only experience with farming is farming simulator, and I haven't played much beyond harvesting a ton of wheat and corn.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 7 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I was about to saw plow farming IS outdated, then I realized modern farming is just industrialized plow farming, and instead of one plow, one ox, and one guy, it's one guy and a giant machine that drags dozens of plows at once AND seeds, covers, and fertilizes everything in a single pass.

They aren't around anymore as of this morning, but they liked the hoodie and hat and I thought someone might like to see two doggos.

They were both good girls and I miss them.
