If it were simply the young version of the characters, I’d say Picard. He was a scrappy fighting arrogant young man.

De-aged Picard, despite being young, would be out of practice and be too distracted by things like morality and proportionality.

Yes this was it! Thank you!

It’s not mine. Literally look back through this comment thread.

The person you replied to said “steal” was a poor choice of words and you piped up to say it wasn’t. That was the moment you entered into a semantic argument.

Someone is gonna need to double check this, but I feel like it’s saw a documentary that said cheetahs are super anxious… in the doc I feel like a guy slept in a makeshift shelter with cheetahs in a thunderstorm to help chill them out.

It sounds so bizarre that im not actually convinced this wasn’t a dream, though…

Your disagreement with op about the definition of stealing IS the semantic argument. That’s what a semantic argument is.

You got into a semantic argument… and then started laying down incoherent definitions that you made up on the spot.

Yes, I agree, you are absolutely trolling.

You’re the one who invented a definition of “theft” that for reasons beyond my understanding consider the consuming organisms specific mechanism of utilization that also specifically considers if the organism has the ability to synthesize the structures independent of consumption and now also demands that the process be sustainable for an arbitrary (but not indefinite) amount of time AND the structures must meet an arbitrary bar of complexity (which you’ve proclaimed unilaterally is greater than fat) etc etc etc

I’m going to drive directly to my point now that hopefully you can see how your ever-expanding definition of “stealing” (which I promise you, I’m not even getting STARTED on pushing issues that would force you to continually expand) is just bad.

Counter Definition: Eating isn’t theft. The degree to which ingested materials must be broken down to be useful is interesting, but none of it is stealing. The article used a word that while amusing to read isn’t technically accurate.

Digestion begins before you swallow. I expect if I chewed up some salad, opened my mouth and aimed it at the sun, some percentage of what I’d just chewed on would have access to co2, h2o and 600nm EMR, and synthesize a glucose molecule two.

Since the genesis of this conversation was purely semantic (“why is eating a chrolorplast theft if eating anything else isn’t?”) I think it’s pretty fair game to point out that yes, technically I also can reap the benefits of photosynthesis in a very limited way for something im actively digesting.

Not really a point in getting into a semantic argument if you’re just gonna come out swinging about being anti-science.

Only a Varool would use such language in public

I imagine there is an incredibly short window in which I technically can.

Am I stealing chloroplasts when I eat a salad?

I think there is something to the “millennial’s refuse to grow up” mantra that boomers and genx accuse us of.

Like, if growing up is adopting a “fuck you i got mine” mentality… nah.

Millennials are apparently the first generation to move “left” as they grow older, instead of right.

There are changes. Some positive.

NAIL. FINAL ANSWER!

Kids certainly have the capacity.

Windows 3.1 had some BASIC games that you could run. A snake game and one where monkeys threw bananas at each other. It was a great “fuck around and find out” platform. I could write simple programs from scratch well before 10, learning entirely through experimentation.

530 to sit down for supper, after supper a little outing like a bike ride or car ride to the store, be home by 7, yogurt at 730, then straight to teeth brushing/bath. Pjs/books (with the light already low, then crib.

Also super consistent with nap timings. If he wakes up during his nap windows, we just let him chill in the crib.

Hardest part for us was just getting everyone into the routine. Did take a few weeks.

That being said, I’ll relay the best parenting advice we got, which was “every parent thinks what works for them is the objectively ideal approach. Every kid is different. Take it all with a grain of salt and figure out what works for you”

For us, having a rigidly consistent routine helped that kinda dovetailed into bedtime. Supper at the same time, baths/teeth brushing at the same time, pajamas at the same time, etc etc.

Maybe you’re already doing that, but it helped for us. Every kid is different, so obviously your milage may vary

Considering starships exist in the vacuum of space, I expect the hull should be able to handle at least 1atm pressure differential!

Technically a second is an arbitrary measure of a proprty cesium133. Now, anyways

Kinda implies it’s an analogue process. More like an AM radio than a digital image.
