Great apes are closely related to humans BECAUSE humans are great apes. That idea is offensive to many religious zealots, so it's not a fact often brought up in any conversation unless specifically prompted. This isn't a logical fallacy you've uncovered, just a cultural bias and stigma. Of course a language model will also avoid the topic unless specifically prompted because it's trained on people and articles that ALL do the very same philosophical dance and mental gymnastics to avoid inciting the ignorant zealots.

~~Calling anything bad weird seems a little judgemental for my taste. I like bad weird. Good weird is boring.~~

Ya basic.

Getting weirder and weirder is the only viable direction a Master of the Universe movie can go for success. Don't you remember the last movie?

You might eventually and with some great expense (even if you have a public defender, jail isn't cheap for poor people), but you won't beat the ride. They can and will destroy your life and livelihood with a trumped up charge for little more than knowing your rights. It doesn't matter if the charge sticks, the injustice has been done and freedom has been trampled.

I guess the secondary directive of the Federation is to gatekeep having fun?

Animation isn't for children by default. Only boring, unimaginative people talk that way about animated stories.

Star Trek has always had violence.

Star Trek has often had profanity. In another alien language sure, but we all knew which Klingon words were curses.

Does sophomoric humor graduate to senior humor when it's subtle enough that you didn't catch it as a child? Humor is SUPER subjective and VERY sensitive to the current zeitgeist, so comparing humor across a franchise that has been around this long seems a little absurd. Data pushed Crusher into the ocean for a laugh, that seems pretty sophomoric to me. Bones regularly joked about Spock's racial differences, that also seems pretty crude by today's standards.

I'm absolutely seeing more of them. They're all relatively new stickers on newer and older cars. They're all of about the same few designs. They're actual bumper stickers, not magnets or signs hung with suction cups in a rear windows, so they're basically permanent. Permanent student driver stickers just don't make any sense for their supposed purpose. The stickers are going to last so much longer than it would normally take anyone to become a mostly proficient driver.

For real though, why are there so many people (who are obviously not new or student drivers) driving around with those stickers? They seem to drive around like that sticker is a license to act like a complete fool on the road and is almost entirely unlike the dumb things your average student driver will do.

They're almost certainly talking about the TNG episode "Pen Pals" where data makes friends with a little girl whose planet is dying.

A small percentage of hyper inflated prices over a large consumer base still equates to MASSIVE profits. It is a fundamental ethical flaw that we even allow for-profit medicine that is compounded by obvious cartel organization structures and corruption.

So you're looking for validation, not an honest discussion. This whole thing just got more weird. You're weird.

So we're not getting hand milked by 40 cows while getting figged by 3 cherubs.
