And a lot of people misinterpret “Born in the USA” as a patriotic song.

EDIT: If you don’t know and didn’t want to spend a few seconds using Google, it is about American veterans who served in Vietnam, returning home, and not having a very prosperous livelihood.

Well that is the only image of the necklace we have. Gotta wait a day to see if they show more off.

I want the DS9 necklace.

I like the DS9 character posters. At least they got one name correct.

The Federation Standard is a New Trek creation, so maybe the rules wouldn’t work. Doubt anyone living in a non-Federation world would bother learning it.

Secondly, in “The 37’s”, the cryogenically frozen humans from the 1930s each hear people speaking their native language due to the universal translator.

Waiting 24 hours to report a person missing isn’t a myth… just a stupid fucking thing that happens a lot and has no basis in law.

You could try to report a person missing immediately but depending on their age, gender, sex, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, economic status, job employment, location, and maybe many more factors, a police/sheriff department might flat out deny a report because they simply can’t do their job right.

It’s not a myth; it is reality and many people encounter this issue. Especially in the ‘70s and ‘80s in the United States, teenagers would often be dismissed as missing and considered runaways. So the fact is you might be forced to wait or have your report completely ignored by the appropriate law enforcement agency.

Let’s not forget the time writers asked the question should a 1-year-old be forced to have children?

This is the most ‘90s image ever. They look like the cast of a sitcom. Secondly, I finally know what the device Picardo is holding is.

Of course the hidden detail of the computer monitor showing a screenshot from TOS is lovely.
