Kinda funny that foreigners always bring up baked beans as an example of us not using spices when we bake our beans in a spiced tomato sauce. And then we cover them in Worcestershire sauce, which is largely concentrated and fermented spices.

Like we do actually have loads of foods that don't use any spices - butter pie, sausage and mash, smoked kippers - but people seem really attached to the appearance of baked beans.

The political alignment is entirely relevant to Miles O'Brien.

...you think the Ukrainians are lying about losing one of their own jets?

Yes haha it is very funny that the military is pretending to be the fictional military that is specifically based on them

Eat your own arsehole.

Yes, exactly - as I put it to my players, a "person" isn't able to be inherently good or evil. They'll have their own morals - particular things they always will or won't do - but alignment is for things literally made of the concept of that alignment.

Right, so uni fees don't need raising, they need funding given back.

domestic undergraduate fees remaining frozen since 2012

Not untrue, but they like tripled or quadrupled fees a few years before then, so I'm pretty sure it still accounts for inflation.

It is definitely a lot easier than it used to be, and the horror stories tend to be the attention grabbing ones, so are more often seen.

You know how the tarrasque constantly regenerates? Well what if you harvested it for meat?

The 3.x tarrasque became a joke, but that was a result of the extensive options combined with people's system understanding - sure a single wizard could kill it, but that still needed to be played by someone who understood the system. It was a system that gave unlimited options, so if you worked out how to combine enough of them you could break the system wide open, and the tarrasque was a great yardstick for that.

Then you come to 5e's tarrasque and it's so badly designed that it's obvious from a glance that a level 1 character with flight can just hover above it and plink it down with a bow. I've seen 3.5's brought up in comparison to that, but not as an example of difficult fights in a vacuum.
