Well would you look at that, rich people living by a different set of rules than us poors. As a wise person once said, if the law is only punishable by a fine, its effectively a law only for the non-rich. If they really wanted to give it some teeth, after a certain income bracket the fine should scale up and be a…

So, mandatory.

That’s the answer for Pike. She’s asking it of us, the audience, who live in a world where children are sacrificed for things like gun owner rights.

Same. I coulda used a few season’s of “oh, you JUST missed Kirk, he went down that corridor.” or “aw, he just got on that elevator” :/

I’ll attribute it to the lack of Muslim leads in general, but the idea that we’ll have a Muslim main character shown praying who isn’t a terrorist feels like a breath of fresh air.

WHY would they do that? Responsibility of ANY not their MO, making (‘fake’) $$$$ is their ONLY focus...

Having been in the hospital a few times as a patient, I’ve seen a small amount of the bullshit nurses had to put up with. I didn’t think they got paid enough and that was before CoVID.

Perhaps someone should point these jerks to this piece from Jim Stanford on The Conversation.

Capitalists sure do hate it when they find themselves on the other side of the supply/demand equation. Suddenly then govt. intervention is a good thing. Bunch of evil vultures.

Deep Space Nine is not just Star Trek at its best. It’s also 90s scifi at its best (alongside B5).

It doesn’t matter.

It doesn’t matter.

Carano really screwed herself over. Seems like Disney liked her in the role so much that they designed a whole concept around her. It could have been a huge thing for her career.  When she became too toxic, they decided they could salvage whatever minimal work they had done into other projects. So Disney is basically…

Evaporation uses energy, which lowers the ambient temperature. Swamp coolers DO cool the air. They also do humidify the air. I agree that this is obnoxious, but it doesn’t change the fact that they do provide dry-bulb cooling.

It’s all just Shakespeare reboots in the end.

Remember when new ideas were new?

good.

To me, the bigger problem with these TikTok trend is not that they get the kinds in trouble, but that they encourage this behavior to begin with. The devious licks thing has gotten really bad. My son’s high school has had to close all of their bathrooms becuase they’re not in operable condition right now, and I…

Can’t understate how widespread this is. The game is what is the biggest/most valuable thing you can take. Steal isn’t even the right word. They aren’t taking the things to keep. It’s just oneupmanship. Schools in our area have been forced to close boys bathrooms. They take the soap dispensers, the towel dispensers,…
