My zoom background is the TNG bridge so every time my therapist logs on for our session he opens the hour by asking βHow are things on the Starship Enterprise?β and I just think thatβs so much better than βhow was this weekβ or βhow are you feelingβ
βRunβ would be the funniest last words. Imagine youβre dying of old age, surrounded by family, and they lean in to your bedside expecting some final nugget of wisdom or expression of gratitude and you just whisper βRUN.β
at this point I think of half mast flags as just "they must have been to tired to get it up all the way" or "the rope probably frayed & wouldn't pass the top pully"
this would drive a reasonable and sane person to violence, what in the literal fucking hell are they doing to the burger, and why would you ruin good food like that
People who make """assisted""" driving features that stomp on the brakes when you are doing something perfectly safe and which can't be disabled should be forced to recant their life's work and then shot
