Have scientist and engineering relatives. Then military and doctors as well.

DS9 is the best, but it needs an intro to the world. Watch some TNG and TOS to figure the shows out, then watch some sweet sweet Sisko.

Befriending them also gets benefits, so I try for that.

When I taught history and anthropology, I would begin a semester by showing my students a stick. The students show their ideas of what the stick can be turned into. I then explain the stick never changed, but our thoughts of it did.

We go through a few slides of things that are different depending on how you think about them. Guns, swords, cultural objects, and others are discussed.

It's a great way to explain perspective and thought to students. Now I realize many of the female students didn't get it.

I asked my then girlfriend how she wanted to be proposed to, she dropped to a knee and asked me. I was genuinely asking, but she was too excited to care.

One of my foster kids only has shorts for church. I made sure his tie was short. I tried to explain to my wife what a Fag Boy was, but she kept saying it was inappropriate.

For those wondering, rich kid schools in England call the new kids Fags.

I was married in an arcade, because it's the only place open during Covid.

There are theme park vloggers. They all do exactly the same thing. Then they wonder why they get low numbers.

Colonial expansion always has two phases. The first is all male, and gets along well with locals. The second brings in wives from home, and society takes on the more rigid system of caste and place in society.

Reminds me of the hospital scene in another movie about modern China. The family meet a teenager who claims to be the doctor. The only people on staff are loyal to the state not the patient. It's messed up.

I had no idea the English have become a sandwich service for the rest of the world.

I wish I knew how to respond to this without feeling confusion, sadness, and anger.

I make large link lists for further evidence later on for a reason. It's maddening that I have to do that.

True. They are well beyond the one in 2000 mark. That's when statistics folks say something is wrong.

The original president left, and then anyone loyal to him and his style were kicked out. Lassiter was one of them.

NCIS made fun of that so many times. At one point two characters typed on the keyboard at the same time while dramatic music played.

Don't watch the movie Source Code.
