  • I avoid approaching women in public because I believe it's inappropriate. My parents say that it's a necessary skill. Who is right?

  • How is it unsafe for a man to approach a woman in a social situation?

  • I disagree. While certainly some things differ between generations, human nature is still the same and the world in many regards isn't all that different from 40 years ago.

    I don't know OP's parents so I can't speak to them specifically, but I wouldn't automatically discount someone's opinion just because they're a couple decades older.

  • The unsatisfying answer: you're both a little bit right.

    You're correct that times have changed somewhat. But I think it's overkill to say that "approaching women at all unless you have business with them is disrespectful and borderline harassment".

    Of course, context matters a lot. Don't bother women at their jobs, the bank is not a lady zoo. But in a social situation where you would expect to meet other people, it's fine to strike up a conversation with strangers or even ask them out.

    However, by your own admission you don't get out much. So I'm assuming you don't get a lot of situations like bars or parties where this would happen. So I would try networking in your community, develop some hobbies, go to functions where you might meet someone in this manner.

  • If they release a massive $1000 Enterprise-D I am all over that shit.

  • Is replicated food vegan?

    Jump

  • It's also important to note that things like heart disease and cancer, of which red meat consumption increases the risks, are solved by the time replicators are widespread.

  • Is replicated food vegan?

    Jump

  • Yes. No sentient being had to suffer and die to provide that product. So replicated meat, leather, or other "animal products" are vegan imo. But I also think concepts like vegan and vegetarian will have evolved in the replicator era.

  • "His mother did what??"

  • "Starfleet could've sent a probe out here to make maps and take pictures, but they didn't. They sent us so we could explore with our own senses."

  • First season had promise.

    Second season was awful, a two-part episode stretched out to a full season.

    Third season was too much fan service. I love me some fan service, but I really think it was a detriment to the season. Ro Laren never should have been allowed back in Starfleet, but they brought her back just to kill her off. I would have liked to see a new antagonist besides the Borg and especially the Founders, the latter of which was never a Picard nemesis in the first place.

    Old Data. Just why? Data has died twice, can we let him rest? It cheapens each of the two deaths beforehand.

    And on top of all that the most interesting original characters, Rios and Elnor, were written off in favor of TNG Season 8.

  • Whats your favorite smell and why?

    Jump

  • Homemade bread. Nothing beats the smell of fresh bread. Just took a loaf of shokupan out of my oven and the smell in my apartment is incredible.

    Learn to make it yourself my dudes, it is 1000% worth it.

  • How are Americans preparing for the Trumpist supply shock?

    Jump

  • This! I don't even live in a disaster prone area, but I always make sure we'd be fine without power/water for a few days at least.

  • I doubt anyone except my partner would notice, so I don't need to live in fear of being found out. Besides, I'd probably still eat anyway because food is awesome.

  • That is possibly the most annoying way to read words on a page

  • What profound statement has stuck with you over the years?

    Jump

  • From "The Good Place": If soulmates do exist, they're not found. They're made.

    I believe Seth MacFarlane said something similar in "The Orville".

    A great reminder from two great shows.
