This makes Section 31 sound like Oceans 11. Which would be fine if this were the first mention of Section 31 and what they are about. This is nothing like the Section 31 from DS9, maybe there is some kind of explanation for that, we'll see.

Can confirm.

Nice bait in the post title.

I use this daily and just wanted to highlight two downsides:

  • 1 some instances are quite slow in response

  • 2 some instances are non English, so everything except search results might be unreadable unless you know that language

The second one has been happening less frequently recently though, not sure if there are just more English instances or some other reason behind it.

Not just microplastics but also microbes.

Are you serious? It's Microsoft.

Damn, they are pushing this real hard.

That's a big point that also usually isn't really distinguished in all these studies, especially the ones about children and screen time.

I feel there are differences between just watching cartoons and playing some involving game.

Also, just walking by a TV that's on is also screen time, or not? Is the TV running in the background at home screen time when you only look at it 5 minutes here and there?

I'd be happy if those studies would clearly state, 4 hours social media per day is bad. Or 4 hours watching TV with at least 30 minutes long sessions is bad. Stuff like that.

You probably won't.

Well yeah. Turns out you are not the average user. Don't mean that neither as a compliment nor an insult.

In episode 2F09, when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones. I mean, what are we to believe, that this is a magic xylophone, or something? Ha ha, boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

I think there is a clear difference between being immortal and being indestructible. I would think if your planet breaks apart you'd probably die with it being crushed or whatever. Also always unclear if being immortal means you don't need to breathe air.
