Last time I witnessed queer-baiting this blatant, one of them had wings and the other wore plaid (Tone indicator amused/bit annoyed). Was VERY worried there’d be some Scortegas in the future and VERY relieved at the conclusion (though I kind of think not everybody needs to be buddies but ah well).

I usually don’t notice wardrobe but I fucking loved what Uhura was wearing her party. Ortegas’ antennae though seemed like taping down your eyes to appear “Asian”, what even.

Do humans/Starfleet ever abort negotiations because someone on the other side inadvertently did something culturally insensitive? Has a non-Starfleet culture ever gone to great lengths to accomodate our cultural weirdnesses?

Major consequences = inconveniencing them in their research

That’s why in German, if someone’s room is a mess or they didn’t put a lot of effort into their work, you can call them “slutty”, even if it’s a child, and nobody bats an eye.

Cradle of civilisation, maybe, not humanity. The need (and ability) to problem solve got us to where we are. If everything is tickety-boo, why try to change anything?

Academy was announced in March 2023. Prodigy was cancelled and moved to Netflix in June 2023. SNW’s final srason was announced June 2025. So I think we can assume the design is older than March 2023, when Academy wasn’t a thing yet and Prodigy and SNW were ongoing. Weird design anyway, made worse by the delay.

Herr Wachtmeister, you cannot prove that’s not where I am right now.

*polite German chuckling*

I don’t think most Germans would get that pun, at least not fast enough. So “polite chuckle (at recognising the structure of a joke*)” seems right. No, it doesn’t work in German. I shudder to think what the German dub (which is notorious for fucking up anything involving clever language) may have done with this.

Disregarding the language barrier, WWI is kind of overshadowed in public discourse by that other war so it’s not like we have strong enough feelings about it to be upset about a mildly amusing joke.

* no our lack of humour does not impair our ability to recognise that a joke has occurred fuck off ;P

… tch. Imbecile.

TinyMediaManager renames all my files (anime or otherwise) so that any service can work with them. There’s very rarely anything that isn’t recognised properly.

I like having stuff. I particularly like having stuff and not having to go look for it when I want to watch it. 'scuse me, I’m gonna go start a random Doctor Who episode from over 60 years of material.

They thought they were being taught a capital T Truth about how the world works and they were never told that that’s not how science works. So when science took away that Truth, their entire worldview was in peril because what other Truths can just be thrown out willy-nilly?!

It would have to be sapient to care for the judgement anyway.

I feel quite confident that we, as a species, will one day, in the not too distant future (maybe even next Sunday CE), come collectively to the conclusion that things that behave like the planets of our solar system but do so with regards to a different star also deserve the honour of being called planets. That’s the least bit of faith I have in humanity.

That PDF says “Definition of a Planet in the Solar System” and “The IAU therefore resolves that planets and other bodies in our Solar System be defined into three distinct categories in the following way”.

I mean, what would you call the big, roughly ball-shaped thingies orbiting Kepler-62?

That’s just for our own solar system.

The draft proposal for the definition of a planet was debated vigorously by astronomers at the 2006 IAU General Assembly, and a new version slowly took shape. This new version was more acceptable to the majority and was presented to the members of the IAU for a vote at the Closing Ceremony of the General Assembly. By the end of the Prague General Assembly, IAU members voted that the definition of a planet in the Solar System would be as follows: "A celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighbourhood around its orbit. (p. 1)" More generally, a planet: a) orbits its host star, just as the Earth and Jupiter orbit the Sun, b) is large enough to be mostly round, and c) must have an important influence on the orbital stability of the other objects in its neighbourhood.

It also has a bunch of new, much less scarily big friends now. HulkAbsoluteWin.png

Saying “Google” suggests the market that Google is in (tech, data, privacy violation) because what other Market would they be dominating? I inferred from OP’s answers that what they were referring to is the job market (but I can’t be certain).

It was deleted because your question is incomprehensible as you posed it. I had to ask for clarification several times before seeing a glimpse of something that made sense and I’m still not ENTIRELY certain I know what you’re asking.

No, that’s why I said nobody knows.

Yep.

Okay cool. You said A LOT of stuff and rambled around the topic and I don’t know why but you’re simply asking about what software development is going to look like in the future and whether there will be job opportunities. Yes, there will always be a demand for user interfaces as long as we’re using digital technology, obviously. Nobody knows whether there will be jobs in the field, it might all be AI starting next week.

Are you asking whether there is a growing demand for people designing user interfaces and the user experience?

Okay… What do you mean by “veer towards ui/ux”? What connects these two concepts? Be more specific and concrete, give examples.

What “market”?

What I can tell you is that the market is definitely veering towards editing your post instead of posting again.

I check on Artemis II for 5 goddamn seconds and you people let the Button die.

I THINK they may be exaggerating, for effect and self-deprecation. They may have been looking forward to the ritual of preparing tea and having a cuppa as a bit of normalcy at the end of a day of travelling and not even that very simple ritual is possible in its usual form.
