After a bit of discussion @nullpointerintime and I decided that the Scottish are the Vorta of the British Empire, not the Jem Hadar

The current discourse is "gen alpha can't read (score: 256) unlike the EXTREMELY LITERATE gen Z (score: 260) AND millennials (score: 255)"

I hate that the "Gen Alpha can't read." conversation so much because people are taking this as a chance to call children stupid and their parents monsters instead of having a very real discussion about how the education system is flawed by design, covid fucked up everything socialization wise, these parents having little access to child care and more work hours leads them to lean on things like tablets and phones to watch their kids more and more, teachers are more overworked and underpaid than ever leading to them leaving the profession in droves and that's only like the surface level issues. There's a myriad of factors at play here, not just that "The kids are spoiled screen-addicted brats with no imagination and their parents are childish spoiled millennials who just let coco melon handle everything."

I get this on some level but like,,, you can walk the prairie now. They had horses in 1867, she just wasn't taking the fastest transport

I get why people find this kind of thing cute but they do know that it's completely destroyed any possibility the original will work right

"oh yeah this was a common slogan, we have several examples of this in the houses of scientists. Probably some kind of incantation meant to ward off bad luck via ironic detachment"

The fact that picards family canonically died in a fire feels extremely underdiscussed and a massive checkovs gun we never hear about again. Like fires are rare even now in the 21stC, wouldn't it be super suspicious in the 24th?

In the Pale To-the-moonlight

At oh eight hundred hours, california time, the cryptocurrency market has completely crashed. Apes are already selling for less than $100. So, this is a huge victory for the good guys. This may even be the turning point of the entire economy. There's even a 'We avoided a recession' party tonight in the castle.

So I lied, I cheated, I bribed men to cover the crimes of other men. I am an accessory to fraud.

But most damning thing of all, I think I can live with it. And if I had to do it all over again, I would.

Yud was right about one thing. A guilty conscience is a small price to pay for the safety of the Global Economy, so I will learn to live with it.

Because I can live with it.

I can live with it.

Siri, erase that entire personal log.

Yeah the great filter could also be something like "there is insufficient evolutionary pressure to develop beyond unicellular life"

Ime everyone who proposes a Great Filter theory on why we haven't heard from aliens assumes the filter is something like nuclear war, but complex animal life that isn't able to compositionally use tools existed for 500 million years, what if the filter is really OP lions
