This. From the opposite perspective - my mom definitely did have kids to give her life meaning (she explicitly told me “your brother and you are the reason I live” often throughout my childhood) and in a vain attempt to replace the love she didn’t get in childhood and/or from my abusive father. I’m in my 30s now and…

Mother of one here and very much agree. However as a mother of a child with significant health issues I will say taking care of her does give me purpose, if not meaning.

Handlen already hates it......

If they just want to rename themselves CBS: Star Trek, I would be okay with that.

Pike and Georgiou are both massive fan favorites. Seven of Nine is as well. Giving them their own shows is some major fan service and I will happily take it.

On the one hand the return of instakills is great.

I feel like there should be an Avengers of greatest living humans, and this is Evans’ applying for membership.

In this scenario, Jimmy Carter is the Nick Fury...they’ve got Dolly Parton and Brian May on board...but are looking for some younger members to carry the torch...

Whiggly’s a troll, see here for examples of the act. No idea why he’s ungreyed on the Root, but anyway:

8Chan down again?

Well, well, well.
