So. If I’m reading you right, I think you are saying that we should annex Europe? I like it.

The problem wasn’t that it was free. The problem was that you couldn’t uninstall it. The problem wasn’t that it was preloaded into windows. The problem was that it was tied into various different parts of the OS.

Be sheveled to make sure you aren’t shelved.

The other day I was eating my wife and I choked on some hair and nearly threw up in the bed!

help[ing] the weak among us to survive when they would naturally die off and not typically have the chance to pass on their genetic make up; right or wrong we are breeding inferority into our species

Genetic diversity isn’t really a thing to be concerned about. You need numbers big enough to avoid inbreeding, and that’s about it. No eugenics program would ring numbers that low - and keep them that low for enough generations for inbreeding problems to develop.

I don’t understand? Words that are similar enough to real words take longer to reject as fake as compared to words that are obviously fake?

Gotta love the attitude of the Indian Medical establishment.

Surely it isn’t a fact of life, but rather, an artifact of our society? Like, we could fix it if we really tried. Right? Please?

Slutty mining corp?

Sure, but in a place where paid sick leave isn’t mandatory and (as you say) the culture strongly encourages people to not take time off, who is the bigger asshole?

So basically, if I get the shot I will get a sore arm, I’ll lose some time, likely get a fever, headache, and muscle aches*, and it will be a miracle if it actually prevents me from catching the flu?

Would have been far, far, more important to back up your claim that sometimes the virus isn’t killed off correctly.

I don’t know your situation, but it is entirely possible that they feel they can’t afford to stay home from work and not get paid.

Are those supposed to be examples of good tv contradicting Fomorian’s ‘oh crap’?

But they are only “hard realities” because they conflict with the idealism. So much of the conflict of DS9 (simplified) was about how to hold on to idealism in the face of people who are very much not ideal.

That’s kind of like saying that McDonald’s has been the most successful at bringing steak to the mainstream so there’s no reason to complain.
