What even is the point in your statement? Yeah it clearly happened. That was never debated. If it hadn’t happened I wouldn’t be advising people on a safer course of action.

The Okuda’s were very forward thinking and helped to inspire the interfaces we use every day now. Not saying they invented them or they wouldn’t exist without them. But someone watching that show as a kid said “I want that” and then worked towards making it real.

And when you look at the forward thinking for props like the PADD in TNG (and later entries). That form factor and use isn’t far off from e readers and tablet computers. No one back then was really imagining a future where everyone walked around with tablets. Now that’s a normal part of life.

Star Trek helped motivate people to develop the cool things they saw on screen. It was a source of inspiration for many young folks to get into engineering and technology. So there is some influence present.

Seems like the world powers (excluding the US) are content to just look the other way on this one. Correct me if I’m wrong but I don’t think even Russia has said anything and they have a strategic partnership with Iran.

If you suspect someone illegally has a firearm please do not attempt to take it. Photograph the person and go get help. You could be charged with theft of a firearm and could be endangering yourself if you take it.

Technically the guy who grabbed the bag committed theft of a firearm. So if cops wanted to be really dicky they could charge him. Though I doubt it would stick and would cause massive backlash. But as a rule of thumb. Don’t grab people’s stuff especially it’s a gun. Just take a photo and go get help

Also not everyone is a prude about language. You can not expect the world to censor itself just because you want to shelter little Timmy from reality. Just teach your kids when and when not to say certain things and they’ll be a lot better off then if you shelter them forever.

Rest is important and well deserved. Have a good evening.
