Are you asleep right now?

Yikes. This person needs a whole spectrum of medication pre-scriptions.

My headcanon is that after world war 3 we lost track of time (for a while; survival was priority) and a lot of records were destroyed / reconstructed, so the dates become fuzzy after world war 3, and by the time of TNG and DS9 those fuzzy dates had become accepted as fact because they didn’t know any better. The eugenics wars haven’t happened on the canon dates, but whose to say they don’t actually happen 10 or 20 years from now? 😛

Real life example, our date system involves numbering based on the birth of somebody that almost certainly didn’t exist. It’s just widely accepted that Christ was born 2024 years ago. Or would it be 2025 years ago? I’m too tired to figure that out.

I think its popularity was a product of the time. Back then the show was downright groundbreaking, and as you had to watch it week to week, the hype and popularity built up over time, and a lot of that was deflated when the show was hit by a writers strike and then the finale which was kind of a polarising shitshow. I’d bet the people that love it watched it while it was airing, and I’d bet most people that watched it after it aired are generally like “eh, it was okay at points”

I mostly watched it while it aired, and while I like it, I don’t go out of my way to recommend it to people very often. I think for the time period it was great, it was a big event at the time, but it’s clear RDM had no idea where the story was going and watching it again years after the fact makes that so damn obvious. The show had some great cliffhangers and twists which worked really well when you were watching week to week and could talk to your friends about it, not so much if you’re binging it 20 years later.

GLORY TO YOU AND YOUR HOLE! ಠ‿ಠ

Thank you for your service pedantry.

Ah, TFWs. If you go by the news, neither big farms nor Tim Horton’s can survive without them. I’m glad you’re treated well. It pains me to think about how much exploitation is in the industry.

It’s a dream of mine (and a handful of friends) to start a commune / cooperative farming thing (closer to the hobby side of things) east of Toronto once we pool enough money, so insights into the industry are fascinating to me. And yeah, we know it’s going to be more work and recurring failures than we can possibly imagine (especially to start) but we’re determined and going to be diligent in research and preparation before we jump into it.

Oof! Hello, fellow Ontarian here. I had no idea this was the case for Ontario farm workers! Is it common for people to be paid less than minimum wage and not get breaks? Is it just for specific times of year (ie harvesting) or for the entire growing season?

This may sound weird, but: thanks for the work you do in agriculture and feeding us! 😛 I’m in / from Toronto, and try to buy local when I can.

Oh my god, thank you. I thought I was having a stroke.

Welp, time to expedite that switch to RustDesk, I guess!

Well that’s going to be a really awkward episode of Below Deck

I love that all of the responses in here are just forking jokes.

100 gross of self sealing stem bolts!

Soju is waaaay too easy to drink

We require more vespene gas

I initially thought “War Pigs” when I first saw the image, but I don’t think that’s it

I don’t believe that’s possible. I think at one point there was a way to disable all access to the history API, but I don’t believe that option exists anymore. Additionally, it would break a lot of websites.

Unfortunately I think this is probably a result of the way YouTube implements their “auto play next video” feature, and they are unlikely to change that.

An option might be using an alternative YouTube front-end, rather than using the YouTube site, but I don’t have a lot of experience with those. (other people on here do though)

No. The API is correctly named, but I can see how it could be misleading (and concerning!)

That API allows websites to programmatically go somewhere in your history. It can go forward, back, or to a specific point in your history, but it can’t see what that history is, it can only go back 3 pages back or forward 2 pages for example. It doesn’t actually know the history, it just navigates to those points in history. So Google isn’t going to know that you were on Pornhub 3 pages ago, for example.

Hello again Mr. Stamets! ❤️
