Only EIGHT cups of coffee!? Well look at Janeway, donating an hour of her busy morning I guess.

Why... is there oil there? :-P
I won't tell if you don't...
It perhaps shows how successful the trolly experiment has been, playing its part in changing our cultural attitudes as a whole, since its' purpose (lately, I dunno about originally) was to get people to realize exactly what you just said: that choosing to do nothing is still a choice. Sort of a "wake up, sheeple!" message.
Older generations like Boomers and especially Great before that were ignoring climate change and so much else - not having access to the internet, knowledge was more difficult to come by back then.
Today's era involves different struggles, mainly against misinformation, but at least people more often have their eyes open.
Edit: NSFW video version from the TV show The Good Place that adds some new dimensions to the problem: https://youtu.be/DtRhrfhP5b4?si=zI6lV0G_VRhzjz97.:-)
De-cloaking warbirds would have a much greater impact (on your shields:-).
30 seconds costs a minute
I... but... it... wha... my brain just broke a little :-P
A study on astroturfing on Reddit, written in the style of Reddit by an astroturfer - oh the delicious irony? :-P
Thank you for that compliment in return!:-P
There have always been such (it is human nature) - but right now they feel bold enough to speak and act, whereas previously they had been too afraid and embarrassed to do so publicly.
In South Carolina, various KKK-like groups said in advance that they wanted to kill people, wrapped barbed wire around baseball bats (in order to better kill people with), showed up to kill people, then actually killed people, then bragged about having killed people... Oh right, but the other side was not successful in securing a permit for their peaceful protest, so you know, there are "many sides" to every issue I guess.
Misinformation/brainwashing techniques are powerful. Like if you believed that a particular type of human was the root of all evil in this world, then you SHOULD want them dead, under those circumstances... right? You do not bc you know better, not just about that one group but more fundamentally that it is ideas that bring about evil, not people. But the people killing people do not know that, and it is to the advantage of others who seek power, and want to use the army of sheeple to advance their own agenda, for those sheeple to not know that either.
This sounds like something Mothra would say... :-P
Take my angry upvote you monster!:-P
How did you manage to not include ANY Jeffrey Combs?!
/s btw, I've just been thinking that for several posts, and all the comments here, and saw an opportunity to say it:-P
