I found Captain Shaw highly relatable.
Don't forget, even in the Star Trek main timeline, Earth had to suffer through the Second American Civil War, the Eugenics Wars, World War III, and the post-atomic horror before her people were able to start building a utopia. We're right on track! ☢ 👽 🐬 🛸
This fact about the word rice is new to a lot of folks here, including me.
This is why we're in this thread trying to educate you, my child.
I am constantly amazed at how many people online seem to have fallen off of the turnip truck yesterday.
The rind is often used in cooking, as a source of umami for soups and so on.

I would like to do a tankie or two.
To some extent, Social Anarchism or Lifestyle Anarchism: an unbridgeable divide deals with that issue, or perhaps with its early roots. When I was more involved in anarchist spaces in the early 2000s, people knew about this article, and generally considered lifestyle anarchists to be wankers. But since the rise of social media, it seems like a kind of lifestyle anarchism has become the dominant tendency, with people rejecting not only hierarchical power relations, but any kind of organization that might have any hierarchical structure, like the federations traditionally endorsed by anarchists. And rejecting all authority, even Bakunin's "authority of the bootmaker" (i.e., expertise).
It's a very bad state of affairs, and I think it comes about partly because baby anarchists today learn from word of mouth rather than from books or textfiles, and in particular, from baby anarchists who hardly know more than they do but have social media followings. Kids these days, is what I'm saying. They need to get off of ~~my~~ our lawn.
There's a correction curve in use for post-1945 radiocarbon dates, but it could easily be lost along with other knowledge in the future, of course.
