My childhood included my mother owning furniture that was decorative, but that we were not allowed to use.

Some was just because children are messy, but some was because the furniture was just old and couldn’t handle abuse from people sitting too hard or putting stress on unexpected angles.

That’s what this makes me think of

Do people tell it their name a lot? Even when asking for help with something personalized (like a resume) I still tend to react my name and edit it in myself after.

… Is this just me?

This is already a thing that happens currently. Some admins/moderators don’t like being downvoted and ban people for “vote manipulation” because they vote on things in their feed.

It is leading to exactly that, where people are worried that using the voting system as intended will lead to exclusion from participation in some communities.

Theoretically, you can still sue the office of the President, just not Trump himself.

So, you know. You can cost the taxpayers money, but not the person making the terrible costly decisions

Banned from entire communities or instances, similar to the other people in the thread who are saying that’s why they don’t comment. Some people are very sensitive about getting downvotes.

Careful, you can get banned for voting “wrong” too

Portal was a Star Trek story after all

Not a typical one. Wheatley proved himself immune to Kirk’s usual method of dealing with rogue computers.

You end up with echo chambers by blocking people and communities you don’t like.

Downvoted content is not only still visible, half the sorting options ignore it.

He also spends large amounts of money on social programs and reconstruction efforts, which is a fun fantasy story

I can’t help but remind you that O’Brien was the one expecting redundant backups in Cardassian systems.

O’Brien was scrappy, but Rom was scrappier. He learned from lack of resources while integrating Ferengi systems with Cardassian systems.

O’Brien had resources to back him up. He may have caused a language epidemic, but Rom never caused a panic unless he was instructed to. And he did that without question

This is terrible advice

Most humans aren’t hunters at all

“People saying I am wrong prove I’m right!”

Can you guess why Jimmy has to live in a slum?

Because Superman is a super-dick?

He basically begged for that position after years of standing in the transporter room, waiting for the odd episode where something actually does go wrong with it.

He wanted a place where he could be creative and solve problems, rather than be overshadowed by the chief engineer getting the credit every time.

As a software engineer for a large corporation, I feel this deeply

Probably Monty Python’s Life of Brian

I was one of those Holy Grail kids, I loved the movie and memorized the lines. Wanting more, I looked up other Monty Python works

I was in 7th grade or something, raised in a very religious home. I was not expecting what Life of Brian was, and I know I wasn’t old enough to understand all of the jokes they made

Hilarious movie

You’re telling me that this sign, stating “ON”, is hung upside down, and an owl is hanging from it?

I’m suspicious of these claims, but I’m too distracted by the adorable owl to dwell on it

North America. Is there a pattern of difference?

Who the fuck is Moe?

No I’m in my 40s

Zero issues, everything works exactly as I expect

Not to say no issues exist, but I have encountered none, and that is data
