I’m not going to say the US has always been on the side of angels, far from it, but treating the current administration as business as usual is disingenuous at best.

I didn’t realize those were trade agreements.

Now if they’re deaf tests on the other hand…

Keep in mind there’s a few monitors (at least on their site) that have a higher refresh rate but worse ratings than those on that list.

Here’s the direct comparison tool from their site.

Assisted a terrorist in almost blowing up the wormhole (against her wishes, mind).

Went to rescue a ship of Bajoran prisoners only to bring back Gul Dukat’s daughter.

Those are two more I can think of.

I got laid off and needed something to do.

Isn’t this just a mortgage without the equity?

Yeah, they should emote instead >:(

It’s less about being a power. The British Empire was “A Power”. The US is “A Power”. Russia has been “A Power” and wants people to think it still is. China is “A Power”.

Unless you use it to the benefit of the people, it’s just posturing.

Did you hit your head? Do we need to call someone for you?

Almost like social sites arent monolithic, and different people can be outraged by different things!

placed by the government in the custody of the Picard family

Is that something included in Picard? Cause it seems like a significant departure from the rest of the idea of the series. The government of the federation doesn’t allow people to do things at it’s whims, it facilitates people’s freedom to do what they want to better themselves.

His family has had vineyards for generations. Why wouldn’t they be allowed to? Space isnt exactly a luxury since they have dozens of worlds you can move to and have your own.

Keep in mind the “Gay Space Communism” isnt the soviet dictatorship kind where everyone is allotted their resources and you’re only allowed to do what the state says. Its a post-scarcity world where people can follow passions and personal drive just because they want to. (As long as you learn calculus) Something explicitly stated multiple times in the series.

They have the luxury of the philosophy of improving one’s self and the environment for others.

I mean, at least you can.

14TB or 140TB? The latter is what’s being talked about, so that’s more like 2800 movies. Which more than covers that 1000+ movie criteria.

I’d imagine they were effectively banned, but not explicitly banned.

*7 hours (I just had this discussion with my partner, I thought ten as well)

I believe they reach adulthood in their mid to late thirties. Merry and Pippin are technically in the equivalent of their late teens when they head off with Frodo in FotR

Water makes other water wet. If you have a single water molecule then it is not wet, as it has no other water to make it wet. Otherwise water, as a grouping of multiple adjacent molecules, makes itself wet.

Is this supposed to highlight that he’s white, highlight that there’s non-white admins who powertrip more, or be a play on using irrelevant data to muddy the waters of critical thought?

I just want to be sure what subtext you’re using.
