It wasn't that long ago when Republicans complained about participation trophies and how, at sporting events in schools, the ones who did not win still were acknowledged for their effort. They were complaining that it would make children weak, not want to compete, not give their best effort if they got recognition without being the top dog.

Now they demand their participation trophy and it better come with tendies!

-Denmark: only been to Copenhagen but i'd say it was really good, really liveable and safe

Denmark is basically less dense Netherlands. Those two are really similar, but there's greater regional variability in Denmark when it comes to infrastructure.

Edit: I don't really speak french, don't even think I've spelled most of these correctly and I have no idea where the accents go. I think I mostly use the above expressions, since they're occuring in German as well as in English.

Given the desolate state of the US educational system... mhhm, true.

Well given the popularity of the Joker that'll likely change.

I didn't really like TOS (except the movies, those were great) was a big TNG fan (not the movies though, didn't like those), I loved DS9, I was okay with Voyager and basically did not care for anything after, except maybe Lower Decks? Haven't seen SNW yet, will give it a try.

But all of that is just like, my opinion man, you go watch whatever gives you the good feels, I'll not police your opinion.

Except if you like Discovery-Klingons, liking those makes you a garbage-human!🚩

I can, I did, it fucked me up mentally. I'm 41 now and still suffer some of the consequences of the abuse by my peers and one especially vicious teacher.

That's not how bacteria multiply. There is horizontal gene-transfer, but that would be a very slim chance.

No ancient bacteria aren't the problem, multi-resistant strains that have already evolved and are evolving in our clinics are the real problem, some bacteria that haven't been an issue for quite some time, because our antibiotics simply killed them, have now developed resistances and are suddenly becoming deadly again.

E. Coli, Staphylococcus aureus and Salmonella, some of the most prevalent bacteria in humans are rapidly becoming multi-drug-resistant and resistant to desinfectants like chlorine. These superbugs already account for a shockingly high number of deaths in healthcare facilities and the situation is only getting worse as more and more countries use increasing amounts of antimicrobials, kickstarting microbial evolution into overdrive.
