Lol, there are just so many random variations of every opening that it’s virtually impossible to know them all. It’s sometimes helpful to see what an opening is called so that you can potentially look it up later, but 99% of the time I feel like Michael in the meme.

Holy hell

They’re going to tell me to google something. I can feel it.

I swear I learn more about LOTR from comment sections under memes than anywhere else.

Also can’t forget gaming companies that have turned many modern games into Skinner-boxes.

It’s like reading a news article and seeing horribly constructed sentences and typos. Like, this is your main job! I know there are a lot of English majors out there who would love to find work.

Now you tell him

I was thinking the same thing, but I feel like it probably wouldn’t land the way I imagine it in my head. Lol

That’s amazing, haha.

Is there more to life?

It made the world weird - especially politics. I still attribute the extreme polarization that we see today to the aftermath of 9/11.

Don’t get me wrong, I know people had strong opinions before 2001, but it didn’t seem like political party was as significant a part of the average person’s identity like it is now.

Sorry I may have some pent up anger.

Nothing a good night of sleep can’t solve!

You’re not supposed to notice such things.

There are worse people to resemble!

That sounds like a cool teacher

TNG is a great place to begin. It’s usually what I recommend to anyone who hesitates to start the original. It matures the series and gets into the philosophy of trek more.

You can always go back to TOS later if you really get into the whole universe of Trek. It’s light-hearted and campy, the characters are cultural icons, and it’s fun to see where everything got started.

It’s honestly pretty rare for places to not have one in the US unless you’re in the downtown part of a major city. Sometimes when walking downtown, it feels like every shop’s bathrooms are staff-only.
