Honestly, this right here is the main reason I don’t believe any real-world bending would end any way other than Earth Kingdom dominance. Peaceful dominance, hopefully.

You can’t wipe out their infrastructure as long as someone is alive who knows how it’s done.

Oh, fire nation bulldozed your house because they felt like it? Well boom. Stomp stomp punch. New identical house made of stone.

Bridge collapsed to cause chaos? Stomp stomp punch, it’s back.

Don’t feel safe living out in the open where fire nation scouts could murderhobo you harder than my last D&D group? Stomp stomp punch, now you have a vast mansion underground in which you can simply… Not go above ground until you need to.

Of course, underground living isn’t simple as “hole in ground, hide all day” but still… There is 0 reason the EK shouldn’t go full Vietnam War tactics.

Demo ranch. Started making comments about the George Floyd protests and I was out

AvE started praising the trucker convoys

Shadiversity got super homo/transphobic and also is just an arrogant douche since his book.

Big “as a gay black man” energy.

What kind of music does data listen to?

You might be quick to answer “Electronic”

We have been shown he listens to all kinds of music. At the same time.

In this ONE instance, I think it’s okay to ignore the rules. Although if data wanted to change the music, can anyone really stop him?

It finally clicked for a friend when I asked him if he knew how old the “young women” were in another case, and he said “I don’t know… 25?” which then got corrected to “16 or 17” when I reminded him that the “young women” in question were minors.

So finally I called out and asked his daughter to show us the cool picture she was working on in the study, and she excitedly runs in to show us. She was 9 at the time.

I asked him how he enjoyed the picture that “young woman” drew for us. I literally saw the change on his face when it clicked.

As long as you rake in the cash quick enough, you can be rich before anyone realized that you’re the problem.

And now you’ve got money to pay people to beat them into submission when they complain.

There is a federation standard for which way is “up” based on the plane of the galaxy.

So at least that explains why Federation ships always meet on “level ground”

as for why the romulans, klingon, and various other non federation, especially non friendly species from the other quadrants, would be oriented the same way?

Idk, maybe the progenitor race from that one single episode of tng that never showed up or was spoken of again made some kind of subliminal or genetic memories of which way up should be.

I was about to say, “what do you mean ‘old days’, I’m still playing!”

This game will outlive DOOM being run on things.

Or more likely, someone will figure out a way to play one in the other.

JUST

DO IT

Hell, make it 100%.

All countries

100% import taxes on all ICE

Make people demand EVs

Motivate countries to produce in-country.

Lol ain’t that the truth.

But I also don’t do any of that for a job, so I doubt my boss will agree!

What if I can operate several different types of forklifts, reach trucks, skid steers, and an excavator, but I’m not “certified”?

He was usually in 3, and in DS9 when Picard catches him before he disembarks the Enterprise, he leaves from 3 and Picard mentions it’s O’brien’s favorite transporter room.

There may or may not be a few patterns in storage…

My favorite repeatable mission, as intended by the devs: we need you to roll this barrel as far as you can by walking into it

My solution: looks at barrel… looks at C4… (20 seconds later) clickBOOM

Honestly if they teamed up with the Just Cause team, they could make something quite interesting. Maybe not good, but certainly interesting!

Literally, if you know there’s 0 chance of it happening, why not test?

Note: this is very different when you’re a government entity making the claim and doing the test vs when you’re an individual making a claim and then someone else does the test, especially if law enforcement or other government bodies are involved.

If the UK investigators were so sure, then doing the tests remove all doubts, and nobody can point to it and go “then why didn’t you test? Seems shady to me” because… Well… Seems shady to me.

The last time it got above 95 where I live, I was a child, nobody went outside that week, and everyone was complaining that it was the hottest days they’ve ever felt there.

It’s already happened 3 times this year. Once in “winter”. All of this week has been above 95.

This is the hottest year of your life…

Every year.

Until you die.

Potentially of heat-related conditions.

Dudes an XP hog.

Then you get to NewGame++, try to skill your way through, then they pull out surprise moves, are a lot faster, and mock your pitiful attempts to damage them.

And this isn’t even their final form.

The Picard Maneuver, flying squid, Riker…

Basically anyone who posts to Chevron7 or Ten Forward who has a profile picture… I recognize the pictures more than the names for most.

Personally, I don’t want people to remember me, I just want someone to go “hey, I know what your profile is in reference to! Nerd-five!” and be on about our business.

Do… Do people care what the REAL scarlet Johansson, Jennifer Aniston or Elton John have to say about Ukraine defending itself and it’s people against a fascist invasion?

I mean, I find their stuff entertaining, sure, but like… Why would I listen to their tactical analysis in the first place?

I went to a celtic festival earlier today and there was a (male presenting) person in a dress you would expect to see on a docudrama about Jack the Ripper.

Inside this lady of the evening dress was the hariest person I have ever seen in a dress. Take that dark dense patch in the center of rikers chest, put that all over the exposed breast area, the upper back, arms, huge beard, very dense hairy legs. And all of it fiery orange.

That might be approaching “too much” territory, but I gotta say, what we have seen on star trek so far has been alopecia by comparison.
