Reason #1,324,789 of why I love this show.

This was a casual side conversation between Bashir and Sisko about a fellow crew member, completely unrelated to the episode’s plot, and its just so sweet.

It’s nice to know that if you’re a pregnant father-to-be on DS9, your buddies Julian and Miles will build you a hatchling pond, buy you baby clothes, and throw you a shower eagerly attended by the station’s commanding officer (who was practically beaming with joy when he found out that you were expecting).

A male character is producing offspring, and two male characters are giving him a baby shower, which at the time (and still is) the dominant joke for male characters is how to get out of attending a baby shower.

The MEN on DS9 were the broody baby-crazy ones. The women couldn’t care less. Kira never breathed a word about wanting a baby and when she had one imposed upon her it was kind of hilariously played up for her reluctance. Worf was all “let’s have a baby!” and Dax was like ehhhhhhhh. Even Odo got all parental with a lil bucket of goo he found.

You are not going to pass a skillcheck against a rip current once it has you.

Waves will not bow to your physical prowess no matter how impressive.

Shock does not care that you used to be on your school swim team.

If you hit your head, being good at swimming isn't going to turn you face-up while you're unconscious.

My coworker and I placed it and then I forgot about it. DoorDash is on my Naughty Apps list for constantly sending notifications begging for attention, so I have them turned off.

So it was very belatedly that I checked the status and saw there was a message.

A lot of messages in fact.

I looked down and literally just saw “Tell no one,” as a white man in his fifties strolled in with a backward cap. When I told him I was just seeing the messages he said, “Yeah, check it out, that text chain is lit.”

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

please rb for larger sample size!

Thank you for helping with this data collection. Please rb for as big a sample as possible!

Needed a clean graphic for a project, and figured while I was vectoring I would put sex and magic back in.

It absolutely takes me out every time because this is a rare outside perspective in the show from another adult who rightfully points out how absurd it is to expect the children to fight

yeah the first time some sixth grader gets us attacked by vampires, I’m going to feel very ‘mom lifts a car off a baby’ about it. Stand back kids, this is up to me.

Employees and developers working on Magic: The Gathering Arena say they were hired with promises of remote flexibility, so they bought homes and built lives around those assurances. But they say they are now being told they may need to relocate to Washington state — or effectively lose their jobs.

Her example was in call centers, where an agent might take 1 difficult call in 10, which is stressful, but the person has the 9 easy calls to offset that stress and recalibrate their nervous system. But when 'AI agents' take those 9 easy calls, you, the human, are left with 100% difficult calls. What used to be a small, unpleasant portion of your day now becomes your entire day, all day, every day.

And to make things worse, your boss fired all the other humans, so rather than spreading out the bad amongst a team of people who could commiserate and provide support, it's just you, absorbing the stress, alone, forever.

I can’t do that without negative consequences

I can’t do that unless I have support for it

I can’t do that
