I learned about that on the Discovery Channel… but okay.

I get the point you are making and I mostly agree with it. My one main argument is to ask if the other people really are just as qualified though? Just taking O’Brien again, he is 45 when his son is born in DS9 having at that point been in Starfleet for over 20 years and served in over 200 combat engagements. That’s not an amount of, especially hands on, experience that the average anyone is going to have at enlistment time.

On the other hand at the end of the series he goes to teach at the academy so I suppose you could argue that what you are positing is exactly what is being done to him there. Being rotated off the front line and put in a place where he will have access to mental health resources. It’s also mentioned in Voyager where they have crew that they talk about wouldn’t have made it on a starship and would have been turfed to a star base or similar had they not been stranded in the delta quadrant so it may be that what you are describing happens to everybody who isn’t a main character anyway.

You still aren’t reading what I am saying because it’s more important for me to be wrong than to have learned something in your mind. So goodbye.

I haven’t ignored anything but if you are going to be an asshole then I am going to ignore you.

Please look at the link again and pay attention to the difference in regional dialects. I would have been happy to learn that it was accepted in other places but instead I’ve been told to masturbate, and had two other people be a fucking asshole to me. Only one person has been simply informative and I looked it up further. Until you can emulate them kindly fuck off.

Yes which is why we say that and not builded. I’m not sure what your point is.

I think you are confusing informal and irregular in this case.

Your point is well made but for the record O’Brien wasn't an officer and never went to the academy. He even jokes about having to call Nog ‘sir’ when he becomes an ensign.

Ain’t is in the dictionary, it’s still considered incorrect.

Thanks for letting me live rent free in your head!

Recommended age for colonoscopy is 45, I’m pretty sure there are people younger than that who had mice like these. They were still the default well into the XP era.

Spiders, of course, being notorious for liking small dark moist places devoid of the things they eat…

It’s weird to me that anybody ever believed that one.
