  • I love how everybody is so busy about mining your behavior for ad tracking data and then like 2/3 of the ads I actually see are utterly irrelevant gut doctor / toenail fungus / 17 Most Embarrassing Topless Celebrity Moments crap.

    (I think the reality is that they’re mining that data to identify a small number of people susceptible to high-value scams - like getting addicted to an F2P mobile game and spending $1000s on it - and the rest of us just get generic infill)

    One thing that would go a long way in helping with that would be if we improved the quality of urban schools / parks to the point where fewer people felt like they had to move to the suburbs to start families.


  • My headcanon is that in public / guest quarters the toilet stalls contain miniature holodeck emitters so that they can instantly change to accommodate the customs / biology of any species. Even assuming that, say, Klingons excrete waste from the same places that humans do, they might prefer to do so while dangling from a bar in the ceiling or something else torturous like that, and find the use of a regular sitting toilet unclean or dishonorable.

    It’s like in Good Will Hunting when Matt Damon tells Robin Williams he thinks he’s one step from cutting his ear off and Williams responds by asking if he should move to the south of France and change his name to Vincent, because obviously most moviegoers are too dumb to get the original joke.
