We can all agree kids shouldn't be watching porn. We do not agree on how to achieve this.

That was only option 2.

You need to try for yourself. Or consult a therapist who knows you well enough. Us idiots on the internet cannot look inside your head.

I think "vibe scripted" is harsh. The writers were bumping against the restriction that they need

spoilerChapel blood next to anybody when they enter or exit the place. That's why the alien buys it. Scaredy pants tries to go out on his own and gets fried. They wanted to avoid another entrance/exit on screen to keep us guessing how this Star Trek Inception works.

It's a version of "commander, you better take a look at this." It keeps the suspense up for the audience as Riker saunters over, maneuvering over multiple chairs, to take a look at the corpse of the mortal enemy of the federation. In a real military, Worf would say something like "heads up, Romulan casualties on the premise, everybody be on the lookout." That's to prevent the commander or anybody else from getting shot by a possible half-dead Rom in the rubble. But that's not great television. It's just script writing 101.

Gul Darheel* is dead and buried on Cardassia. Smug Dukat tells Odo he attended his funeral. That's kind of a big ask for Bashir to accomplish resurrection from DS9.

Marritza suffered from the HDJ syndrome as well. It befalls characters whose death fits the story - and it is a more impactful ending with Kira almost mourning the loss of this guy.

*previously mentioned in the title but since edited out.

I would say "AI" didn't decorate it either. It provided an image of an idea. It'll take the fictional wife another 30 years to make it happen. And my money is on divorce before that. How come it's her job only? Pull your finger out of your butt, "AI" meme maker, and do it with your wife.

Wortfindungseuphorie.

That's not universally true. Necrophiles may be past that, according to preference.

The study isn't about how good so-called AI is at detecting cancer. The study is about how these doctors lose the ability to spot cancer after having delegated the spotting part of their difficult jobs to a model. They looked at the numbers before the introduction, while using it, and then when they took this assistance away. This study can say something about these doctors' behavior. I don't think it proves so-called AI is shit at it. It's more about how humans get lazy. Roughly six generations ago people could recite poetry from memory, know the dates of historical importance, and remember 50 phone numbers. Now we're like eff that I got those in my phone plus Wikipedia access. It's more like that.

Kids are probably old enough to get it. I would just think that you will be loading a shotgun that's going to shoot you in the face down the line. Either the ladies will get in each other's hair or, worse, they'll team up against you. I think your girlfriend is either insane or not entirely honest when she says she would be fine with your arrangement. I would sooner suggest you look for a place closeby. I'm guessing the 15yo is eye rolling you hard and the 13yo will soon not care about you either. You've carried them through the divorce rough spot with your unique living arrangement. Take a bow and let it go. Provide a better environment for your new relationship.

But everyone deserves a threat and if you live in the USA, then tip is required...

That typo is more apt than intended.

but nobody is discussing this initiative

Well, go ahead. Discuss it. I don't know what it is.
