Does anyone else find it a bit odd that aliens are all interested in human or nearly human women? One would think that most aliens would be attracted to creatures with similar characteristics to their own species. The ferengi should find us as unappealing as most of us find them.

According to Grok, the threshold is 50% of humanity. Apparently Elon Musk dying is as bad as or worse for humanity than a Thanos snap.

Just finished the expanse. Starting isles of the emberdark.

Judges should be part of the judicial branch, not the executive.

Of course DS9 had to lose the special effects data, they saw B5 do it first.

The reasonable solution would have been to include a mechanism for quickly and efficiently overruling these decisions when needed. They have to report to congress about anything that is withheld, but as far as I know they didn't include a provision that would allow them to reject the given justification and order the release.

Username checks out.

The unfortunate reality is that there is no real advantage for Ukraine in calling Trump out on his bullshit and condemning the idiotic plan, no matter how much they deserve it.

Trump is a narcissistic moron with dementia. He doesn't give a shit about the details and he has no principles, he just wants whatever makes him feel like a tough guy that people fear and respect. Fighting him will just lead to a temper tantrum. Better to give him empty words and hollow victories while avoiding any meaningful capitulation.

The rodents, their size unusual.

These are the same shit stains that refer to legal immigrants and refugees as criminal illegals. The ones that condemn the idea of politicized prosecutions and claim no one is above the law while pursuing politicized prosecutions of people for daring to hold Trump accountable and not treating him as entirely above the law. These are the ones touting transparency while cracking down on whistle-blowers.

I could go on all day with this. Everything they say is in bad faith. They don't care about being right, they just want to throw out soundbites to be repeated by propaganda outlets. Illegal orders are lawful. Following the constitution is seditious. War is peace. Freedom is slavery. There are five lights. The Star Wars sequels are just as good.

And the fact that they know they must lie is all the more damning.

As long there isn't one of those fucking wind farms out there wrecking the environment and giving whales autism, right?

“Operation Charlotte’s Web”

The one where they send in some pigs.

All this effort to communicate the idea of bigger or smaller rolls instead of just giving us the total surface area. But then, this isn't about informing the consumer it's about making it seem bigger. If they just gave us a total measurement in sq ft that would make it too easy to compare prices.

It's like guys measuring their dick, they aren't terribly concerned with the validity of the measurement as long as the result sounds good.

Characters have strengths and weaknesses. A GM should target both, giving everyone moments to shine and moments to struggle.

My understanding is that the creator wanted each season to follow a new set of characters, with season 2 being the previous generation that founded the organization that horn rimmed glasses guy worked for. But the network said no, and made him slap together a direct follow up. That was already an uphill battle before the writer's strike.

Kind of unrelated, but season 1 was also supposed to end with all the various characters converging in an epic battle avengers style, but they were over budget and the network weren't willing to give them more, so instead we got the poochy ending.

Great idea. I hear the epstein files have info on some filthy whore that was sucking Clinton's dick.

He doesn't admit defeat, he claims some kind of win or deal and then backs down.

All they had to do was not fuck it up. Just sit back, let the developers work, and collect the money. But apparently they thought they could make slightly more by ruining everything. Fucking morons.

If “regular innocent Americans’ health insurance premiums double, they’re not gonna be able to pay their rent”, Greene said.

Gotta love the qualifiers there. They put so much effort into dividing the country and demonizing the various forms of them that they have trouble articulating the idea of us.

To achieve the status of measles elimination, a country must have no ongoing local transmission of the disease for at least one year. It will lose that status if it has a chain of cases that spread from person to person for more than one year.

We've been heading in that direction, but we won't have officially lost our measles-free status until the current outbreak has continued for a full year.
