  • For whoever needs to hear this:

  • Okay that got me. I'm referencing the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle and, more specifically, the Observer Effect which says that the study of something will inherently change it. Granted, that applies to physics in that case but it's still used in reference to studying various other things as there is no way to study something without leaving a footprint of some kind. That footprint alone is enough to vary the study or, as Starfleet is afraid of with Pre-Warp civilizations, vary the thing you're studying.

  • What the fuck

    Jump

  • Next time I'm gonna have to make the source thingy bigger. I put it up above. Not criticizing you, saying sorry that I wasn't more obvious with my thing and made you go lookin'. But it is a fascinating article

  • We're dangerous, eh?

  • I'm allowed to state my opinion

    It was edited, that's a fact

    It was a photograph taken focusing on the center of a security banner. It was not edited or cropped after the fact, it was merely taken from a close range focusing on the images. How this has sailed 35,000 feet over your head I have no idea. But this entire comment chain has been nonsensical from start to finish on your part. Because no. Occam's Razor does not apply to a situation this not occurring. You have invented a chain of events that has never happened, insisted that things were edited when they were not. This is an utter waste of time.

    Have fun with that.

    Edit: apologies on the double comment. Instance issues.

  • Which doesn't line up with anything that Starfleet stands for. Either they're going cloaked literally all the time and never contacting any outside races, which is antithetical to everything that the United Federation of Planets does, or you're only using it in hotzones that Starfleet actively tries to avoid in the first place. But you're also forgetting about the major risk of running cloaked. If someone does detect you, your intentions are going to seem immediately suspect. You're not going to come off like some noble, space-faring organization that strives for the best in everyone if you're hiding from people and spying on them before revealing yourself.

  • For whoever needs to hear this:

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's all I've got too. Research/study of Pre-warp civilizations is literally the only thing that I can think of but Heisenberg says "Good fuckin' luck with that one" too. Maybe the cloak could break it.

  • For whoever needs to hear this:

    Jump

  • Why?

    Phase tech that would allow them to purposefully go through matter? Sure. But the cloak part isn't really necessary when the whole purpose is to explore. It's useful for combat but Starfleet actively tries to avoid battle as much as possible. Having invisible weapons or starbases just feels like it goes against what the Federation stands for. To not hide in shadows but stand up and speak truth.

    To me anyway

  • I really don't care, do you?

  • How do you sleep at night? Please respond with a number

  • 20 I guess. The underwear I normally wear isn't listed on the graph. Jockstrap and no shirt baby

  • Do you buy real Christmas trees or put up artificial ones?

    Jump

  • I haven't had or put up a Christmas tree since I was a child. I don't see the point. I don't do any seasonal decorations. Time moves so fast that it's like a week later I'm taking down a bunch of shit I paid money for and can barely use.

  • Why are you single?

    Jump

  • Because I do not date, try to date, think about dating, or do anything to attempt to be in a relationship in any way whatsoever. Not aromantic. I just had to switch it off because I've got too much baggage to not be a catastrophic disaster and I'm not willing to go through all of that.

    Or as the dismissive and arrogant, pretentious, self righteous fucksticks like to say "I'm afaid of getting hurt." Fuck those people, for real.

  • Jesus christ. You are hell bent on making a mountain out of a molehill.

    To start with, there is no reason to bother providing credit to a security banner that there are 50 of in every airport in Canada. Just isn't.

    But more importantly, they took the pic because they were focusing on the images in the center of it. That's why. They didn't crop out anything they were talking about. It is literally in the center of the image. A banned hockey stick.

    Occams Razor does not apply here as your entire train of logic has been flawed from the start.

    I support this

  • If I was getting paid I wouldn't have needed to beg for money a few weeks ago just to try and remain homeless. If I was getting paid I wouldn't be so worried about getting holiday gifts for my friends or myself. Getting paid... fuckin' lol

    It's kinda funny to be honest. So many people get so worked up the second that they start seeing someone post because, to them, they cannot fathom someone posting that much to social media without an actual incentive whether that be monetary or anything else.

  • We're dangerous, eh?

    Jump

  • I mean the username is in the image. Unless you're talking about the poster of dangerous items in which case they didn't bother to attribute it because it's the prohibited items poster when you go through security in a Canadian airport.
