You can have conversations IRL that nobody will monitor or have any record of. I swear, people these days have forgotten how to exist in the real world.

I wouldn't call moderated internet communities a panopticon. You can opt out at any time, which is pretty antithetical to the definition of a panopticon.

No, dogs have no concept of gender identity.

Because humans are social animals, and these sorts of customs are signals to each other that we're all willing to abide by the social rules our societies follow.

If you found salmon bland, then "fishy" tasting fish probably won't be a problem for you. Cod is a very mild and delicious fish and it's what I would have recommended.

If fishiness isn't going to bother you then you can probably cook it any way you want. Oven roasted or pan seared would be good bets. If you wanted something to make it delicious and not mask the taste too much, fried fish in a simple batter can't be beat imo.

Whether it's through professionals IRL or strangers on the Internet, it'll require effort on your part. You're going to have to want to be an active participant and willing to work on yourself. It will be a process, not a single event.

I like semi-obscure Star Wars references and clever wordplay.

I got the YouTube premium family plan a long time ago. Been worth every penny for the amount of YouTube we watch.

I know it's an unpopular opinion, but if there was one streaming service I was gonna pay for it'd be YT premium. You can pirate everything else pretty easily.

9/11. It was the only time in my life I saw newspapers publish extra editions.

For those too young, extra edition as in "extra, extra, read all about it," when a news story is so big that the newspapers publish a whole nother edition later in the day.

Data's poem was written by real people trying to sound like a machine.

ChatGPT's poems are written by a machine trying to sound like real people.

While I think "Ode to Spot" is actually a good poem, it's kind of a valid point to make since the TNG writers were purposely trying to make a bad one.

That's still selling your labor though.
