I remember there being one that was along the lines of:

"Four rows knitting

President shot"

And that's the entirety of the diary entry.

But I can't find a reference for it (probably because I'm remembering parts of it wrong).

i know her heart was in the right place but my mom wrote this in the funniest way possible

Data just commits the crimes and then hopes for forgiveness.

Worf tells Picard that he wants to commit crimes, and Picard allows it because of how polite Worf is in requesting permission.

data will be like. i want to commit crimes and picard just goes. yea sure i’ll allow it because you are very polite

...what is the "sex is just rock climbing" category

It was kind of a joke between me and a friend ("you wouldn't judge someone for having gone rock climbing with a bunch of different people") but honestly the more I thought about it the more I bought into it unironically because:

It is a physical activity done with one or more partners

You should only go rock climbing with people you trust to not let you fall

You should not go rock climbing with someone who is drunk or currently incapable of rational decision-making

Some people get super super super into rock climbing and do not shut up about all the places they have climbed and how many are left on their bucket list and these people are usually men between the ages of 20 and 35 and like it's fine dude I'm glad you're happy but I don't know what most of those mountains even are

While many consider it a fun activity, pressuring someone into climbing when they don't want to (or ignoring their feelings and just dangling them off a cliff,) could cause both psychological and physical trauma

There is no moral value to it whatsoever. Who you have gone rock climbing with (or whether you have rock climbed at all) has no bearing on who you are as a person. Imagine telling someone "it's not that heights make you nauseous, it's just that you haven't found the right person to belay you!" or "you need to save your first time rock climbing for someone special." That would be absurd.

For some people it is a deep and moving personal experience.

historically I have not asked myself "will this aggravate my hip flexor injury" before participating when perhaps I should have 😔

Most people can't, and most people would prefer a movie that they have fun watching, and THAT is why a lot of movies that are described as "critically acclaimed" don't have a big box office take.

I know this has been said so many times in so many words but it is never any less infuriating that we never seem to have basic social services money but we always have fucking war crime money
