It really is uplifting to see a government meet (and so hugely surpass) their climate goals. Living in America, you'd think it was impossible from the way businesses/politicians talk.

This seems like an opportune time to note that Gene Roddenberry was a Marxist who strongly supported China. He almost certainly thought well of Mao.
Can you imagine an episode where Picard doesn't agonize over this decision for 22 minutes and ultimately not do it? The guy spared the Borg.
My cat would die in seconds if I let him outside. He's too dumb to live.
He gained 20kg?
They were changed from African pygmies in later versions of the book. You can still find early copies which describe them explicitly as such:
Willy Wonka tamped down speculation that he made them of chocolate. “They are real people! They are some of my workers!” He advised the group that these tiny black people had been “Imported direct from Africa!” They belonged to “a tribe of tiny miniature pygmies known as Oompa-Loompas. I discovered them myself. I brought them over from Africa myself—the whole tribe of them, three thousand in all. I found them in the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man had ever been before.
I can vouch for this. I just bought a TNG era uniform from them and it's quite nice. Got every piece except boots, which they don't sell.
I haven't been carded in years and I'm 27. I think it's the beard.
Not particularly. Male cats get sleepier but overall I haven't found behavior changes much.
On the other hand, imagine being horny all the time with no thumbs to masturbate
I'm okay with that. I'm an engineer too and I have pretty much no incentive to work hard. I don't get overtime and they pay me about a fifth of what they charge customers for my services—so yeah, I'm lazy.
also, I'm leaking CFCs and trying to claw a hole in the ozone
Roddenberry died in 1991, which is well after 1972.
