Sorry to say but TNG and Voyager were the Star Trek shows that my mom watched.

Everywhere is prone to flooding if water is coming down hard enough for long enough.

I grew up in the late 2000s, honestly I think most of my childhood entertainment was just fine. The most notable thing is iCarly, and I recently watched Quinton Reviews' series on it - it holds up better than I thought, but I realized the moment he named as most fans losing interest was the same time I stopped watching it lol.

Other than that there's Danny Phantom which I watched again and was pretty fun, except for the classic kid show thing of spelling absolutely everything out for you and leaving nothing to be assumed or figured out from context.

When I was in middle school, I fell in love with MLP:FiM (the one that started in 2010). I mean that show is famous for amassing a lot of adult men and women as fans. This one's the most intriguing to me - I rewatch episodes when I feel like it, and it certainly did start as a kid show (a very good kid's show), but as it progressed they tried to integrate more action moments to keep their older audience. On the actual content though, I love the way it teaches lessons and I find that sometimes they're lessons I've forgotten. I honestly think more adults, outside of the context of having kids, should engage with kids media like this. I'm biased - I'm a bit of an age regressor, but I mean when you look around there's so many adults that have forgotten or never learned the essential lessons that media like MLP:FiM or recently Bluey lays out in an easy-to-understand way.

Usually a safe bet

Explaining the word "non-ionizing" to people not familiar with current science can be a NIGHTMARE so good job.

For me it's just ADHD

Nintendo just wants emulators gone. They only use those excuses as a front.

You're mistaking being toxically masculine with having a small dick. It's not the same thing and you're actively participating in bodyshaming when you do this. It's just hurting people for no reason.

So, the consumer tech industry relies on hyping up technologies and blanket applying them EVERYWHERE in order to get investor funds. That's literally the reason why. There's investor money in AI and there's also money to be made by lying to people and having them pay for AI-based services.

The answer, as always, is capitalism.

When we're off this AI hype train, keep an eye out for what the "next big thing" is according to techbros and examine it very critically.

Albertan here, please don't it's just 2015 era US politics instead right now

It's always worth remembering that Linux is not a product, it is free software. So if you are switching you can't go into it with the mindset of "somebody better fix this or I'm leaving" because there is nobody that will feel that pressure or care. You have to use Linux because it's something you want to do.
