It just felt so cliche, that the crazy discovery they make is that the strange stuff is alive. The writers couldn't make it sentient because then they'd need to explain why it's just like the Great Lake but different from the Great Lake. It just exists and Star Fleet happens to be the only ones who know about it.

lol, I love that you're conflating the creator having the budget to make the show more in-line with his original vision with someone else making a lousy change for no clear reason. It's a nice knee-slapper of a comment you have right there. Good luck with it.

Who wanted a visual reboot of the Klingons?

Discovery had so many problems for me: ship flies on magic mushrooms, her mom basically doesn't care about her anymore by the end of it - the show-starting plot line, and the Klingons look like sweaty orcs.

The idea that someone would introduce the verbiage "garbage collection" in the context of Rust is crazy to me. I hope they change that to "file cleanup" or... anything else.

I save "template" SQL queries in a special directory so that I don't have to google how to do specific things. It's basically my own personal "examples" folder.

Who is writing SQL in the terminal?

There are some people who both start and end every gun debate with the "good guy with a gun" argument. Nothing gets through the impenetrable logic of "it makes sense to me".

This comment would make sense if he hadn't stated that the PR was politically biased but had instead said that it was unnecessary or that it would be inconsistent with the vast majority of the documentation. I'm just reading what he said. He claimed it was a PR based on politics, not language norms or historical norms. Only certain kinds of conservatives view gender-inclusive language as a political issue.

I appreciate that you don't want to see this person as a hateful bigot and I don't think he is either. Most people I've encountered that share the same reaction as him have basically been tainted by conservative influences, like media or parents, but they don't have any real hate for trans people in their hearts. They've associated the idea of gender-inclusivity as being political and moved on with their lives, accepting the framing and narratives around the topic.

So long as they're not trying to put solar panels literally in the road but instead as coverage above the road (blocking rain, snow, sun, etc.) then that sounds great.

Everyone wore black.

They have a phobia of making changes that are valid if they perceive the change to be motivated by politics. In the example above, the PR is denied because they have been convinced that the PR is about accommodating trans people. The existence of trans people and accommodating them via grammar is political for certain kinds of conservatives. The irony is that their own political beliefs are affecting their ability to distinguish a valid change from a politically-motivated one.
