Absurd that pointing guns at people to get fake support would be seen as any more legitimate than just having the soldiers do the fake voting themselves.

Yes, it’s not much different from tipping. Puts the burden of responsibility in the wrong place. If a business wants to support charities and use it in marketing, just give money to charities and tell people how much it was. And/or give people the contact details of the charities if you want to promote them.

The biggest state, bigger than many countries. How different can it be from other parts of the same country?

An armed society is a society where people are looking for someone to shoot.

Except they don’t even attempt to look like good people. Satan would think he’s been doing it all wrong, he should’ve just said “I’m here to rule over you all and destroy the world, vote for me”.

I thought the idea was that Republicans are actively working on destroying what has been working fine and is benefitting lots of people, not just on preventing more progress.

AI PC sounds like something that will be artificially personal more than anything else.

Or you could say night is the anomaly, because most places in the universe are stars.

Nighttime is absence. You could say most of the universe is absence, but most matter is stars.

Isn’t that the goal for some people in meditation? Nothingness.

Well, Super Mario and WoW are opposites in how many options you have. Forsaken is one of the few I never played.

Although for fantasy games, some people don’t want to play humans at all, because they’re too relatable.

Is there ever not a crisis at the border according to Republicans?

Is there ever not obstruction caused by Republicans in Congress?

Just tax revenue and wealth.

But commercial hydrogen is made in a very carbon-intensive way, although it’s possible to make with zero emissions.

Even in an ideal case, you’re using up energy that could’ve been used to reduce emissions elsewhere.

Seriously, because she’s from a different universe, her actions of committing genocide and torture across any number of star systems are irrelevant?

If Starfleet doesn’t care what people do “in their own space”, how could they ever have a problem with anything? Just declare yourself a ruler, obviously democracy doesn’t play into it, and you decide what you can do anywhere you are.

Of course. The more you have to spend on shelter, the less you have for everything else.

Cuts should be made at the top, not the bottom. Always. If you have to raise your rents, no you don’t. You have spare properties, you’re doing fine.

You mean part of a single episode.

No. They kept her around like she wasn’t someone who should be imprisoned for life, far removed from any position where she could manipulate others.

If they wanted to help others, there was a universe full of people more deserving. Two, even.

Not to mention the fact you say after TNG that the older style was dead as if Voyager doesn’t exist.

Yep.

Lucky they made DS9 before TNG had even finished, then.

We didn’t really get more of the TNG side of things with the TNG movies. Then they moved on to JJA Star Trek, which wasn’t much of anything, not dark, not utopian, just references.

While Discovery was in part based around rescuing an ultra-fascist from another universe.

It took bringing back Picard himself to approach doing what they once did decades ago. And I guess not let the actor have too much say over the script, if that’s what messed up the movies.

Noted.

If they weren’t Jewish, the whole thing would’ve probably just been scrapped.
