I'm not quite sure how you've missed the last 20+ years' worth of complaints? Basically it boils down to that we have never seen an onscreen example of a homosexual relationship in the Star Trek universe, including in all of the many movies since the last tv series ended. In general, there have been very few examples…

Given that I'm not a christian, I'd be very surprised if he showed up to voice any sort of opinion.

Fair.

I'd have to think about it, and it'd probably vary on a case-by-case basis. I'd most probably take it if it was roughly equivalent to a very good coupon that they might do just as a promotion - something like $5 off of a $10 item I had been thinking of trying. Or if it was a small amount. I'd probably feel weird about…

Oh, that's a completely valid way to look it at, and I'm not judging you in any way if you do. I'm just saying that it's iffy under my personal code of ethics, which I have no expectation of exactly matching anyone else's and therefore don't ask other people to live by.

I'm iffy on this.

Me three.

They're on the top of all those crates, too. Google Earth suddenly becomes an important anti-terrorism tool...

But what kind of meditation is that graphic from? There's more than one kind of meditation, and the "clearing your mind of all thought" version does exist. I, personally, find it easier to achieve than the mindfulness version (though I doubt that's true for all that many people; a lot of people get caught by the old…

The headline is deceptive. What the study actually shows is that cramming doesn't work as well, not that it doesn't work at all. For those of us that can recall information fairly well after a single read-through (at least for a certain period of time), reading a chapter the night before a test or reading it two…

I had that exact problem assembling an IKEA shelf once. Then I stopped, took another look, and realized I had one of the side pieces reversed (the hole spacing was nearly but not entirely the same, and otherwise the two directions were almost identical to the naked eye). Everything came together perfectly when I went…

Honestly, the entirety of the relationship between Buffy and Angel skeeved the heck out of me. Any episode where they declare their love and/or stare longingly at each other gets automatic negative points from me, and the younger she is the bigger the hit (which contributes heavily to season 1's poor showing on my…

It pretty much isn't. None of my friends' kids (ages 6-ish to 14-ish) have been taught it in school. And this is school districts across a few different states.

(The word I was going for was "unintelligible".)

These things happen when you're running on three hours sleep and no coffee.

This. Despite still having to sign credit slips all the time, even my signature is almost completely intelligible at this point. You can pretty much count on being able to make out the R and h in my first name, and the J at the beginning of my last name. Getting anything other than "squiggly line going vaguely up and…

I was kind of thinking that she may come back as the sister, since the show spent some time talking about how close they were. I couldn't tell from the picture how similar they may look? Could they be twins? I'm pretty faceblind, so a change of clothing and hairstyle in a still photo is plenty to remove any…

A little obscure, but one of my favorite books is "Those That Hunt The Night" by Barbara Hambly.

Though now that I've actually watched the trailers, I can see that they've done their best to spoil the whole thing right up front, including quoting the line in question. Way to ruin the fun, trailer makers.
