Having survived 3 moves in the past 10 years, my rules for books are thus:

With Alien sentient being around, that needs to be broadened. If you can mate with Alien species without it being bestiality, eating them should really be cannibalism.

That was two universes ago, when CERN flipped an electron. We are now in the third version of this universe, I’ll post a primer here soon to get you caught up. As my above post states, it’s now MacFarlane not McFarlane. It’s Smokey Bear now, not Smokey The Bear. Life WAS like a box of chocolate replaces the familiar…

The fundamental issue (which was touched on) is that there’s fundamentally no chemistry with the crew. Trek always works best as an ensemble; TNG got good when viewers (and writers) got a feel for each of the leads and knew how to “paint” a good story using each.

It’s like reading reviews of the Star Wars movies.

“Sorry to break your head canon” should be shown on screen before everything now.

I read a couple of different recaps of Discovery each week, and I find that they say a lot more about the particular reviewer and what he or she expects STAR TREK to be than about the particular show.

Point of parliamentary procedure:

These two essays, both written by women who identify as demisexual, are both highly compelling and highly self-aware:

I think you misunderstood me: I’ve never really had an interest in sex. I was never a horndog, not in my youth, not with the “right partner”, not now.

I’ve used “demisexual” or “gray-A” to describe myself, mostly because as I’ve gotten older, it seems that my attraction really does seem to work a little differently than my friends’ does. I don’t think it’s oppressed or belongs in the DSM or needs a flag or whatever, but it’s nice to be able to have a term that sums…

The majority of the population totally experiences sexual attraction based on physical characteristics. Demisexuals are wired in such a way that a person’s physical appearance doesn’t register at all, so they have to get to know a person before those thoughts spring up. Whereas most people use physical/sexual…

Trump’s nauseatingly response of “Good Luck” before heilcoptering away to Camp David (I think it was), is all the more disgusting.

Seems like a fine boy, no probs here.

They are so tough in their gangs at their backs - I mean the police, of course. One fired a gun, those animals beat our brother and the cops watched it all happen, while probably thinking - “we’re missing out on all this action”.

You fucking sack of shit:

Part of it is also that they have spent a bajillion dollars raising their safety standards and reducing pollutants, all of which now goes to waste if there’s no rules to enforce. It’s basically what happened with the FDA dropping the regulation to put calorie counts on fast food - all the science was done, the menus…

I wasn’t around for this one, but my grandmother is from the UK and her house was covered with all the comparative plates, and tea sets, and knick knacks for everything from the weddings to coronations to anniversaries, so I grew up surrounded by the royal family. I was in college when Kate and Wills got married and I…

remember when ben carson removed brain surgeon from consideration as a basis for intelligence?

Okay, I actually am in a polyamorous relationship, and have been since about 2001, and I can tell MVP that there’s actually a term for the bullshit her boyfriend is pulling. It’s called “Relationship Broken? Add More People!”, and it refers specifically to the kind of person who thinks that polyamory is a solution to…
