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.

I watched some of the GWB parodies. I never had any interest in watching Trump parodies, and I’d be annoyed to have comedians do them in shows I otherwise liked.

It’s not funny anymore, and it wasn’t really that fun then, although satire is a valid method of political commentary. But week after week, there’s nothing new, nothing that’s more shocking than what was already known. They’re fully and completely terrible persons, who should never have political power. Don’t need to embody them to understand that.

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.

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.

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.

Moghbeli didn’t offer details on where the tomato was found, nor what condition it was in.

Start with that, instead of everything that’s less relevant. The only interesting part of this story is where it would’ve been this whole time, how something can be lost in such a closed system, and the answer is no answer.
