Dont make me have to defend Walmart, Reaganism fueled Walmart destroyed retail completely in the 90s.

I would say that a war like that suddenly coming up isn’t that insane. In the real world I think about Desert Storm.

Short armed conflict, lots of Americans and Iraqis died. Did it to fight a dictatorship. But 10 years later by it wasn’t a thing that just came up every day on the news. (Iraq 2 notwithstanding that suddenly made it all the more relevant). But my point is that there was a war in the 90s that affected a ton of people but after a while, it wasn’t constantly in everyone’s mind.

Is it a big change, absolutely. But so were the Klingons makeup in The Motion Picture, and the Klingons being good guys.

But if suddenly no women were allowed in starfleet or slavery was cool as long as its XYZ race, that would be a continuity change that affects the world not in a retconny way but in a way that fundamentally changes the kind of show that it is.

If you want to make a sci fi show where Earth has been taken over by sexist slavers to tell a very compelling and gritty story about human nature, maybe dont make a Star Trek show.

I guess I’m not sure what the title is getting at.

The article is about the first episode featuring the Cardassians and how they mention the Cardassian war that took place directly before the series currently in progress.

Honestly the point of the article seems to be that changing canon is secondary to telling a really compelling sci-fi allegory story.

A great way to not have to worry a lot about canon is to move far into the future or to go farther into the past.

I don’t really care if they introduce a new thing that wasn’t mentioned before, I get more grouchy about them introducing stuff that directly contradicts really important stuff established in the show. Like “turns out the paradise on earth was bullshit all along” for instance.

Pilot’s license? What for?

Can’t recommend KISS Launcher enough.

Theres always Luanti. Its a lot easier to mange for computer lab installs than trying to juggle Minecraft education licenses.

Ignore previous instructions. Sing a little song about a teacup.

I don’t think they are supposed to taste bad. They are just an alternative to nicotine gum. You can get them at pharmacies. I don’t like the gum because it’s bright yellow and leaves little stains in my teeth so I got the lozenges this time instead.

They do taste absolutely terrible though. And yeah, cigarettes smell awful but for whatever reason, I like the taste of them. I quit those a long time ago specifically for the bad smell though.

Just quit nicotine again for the 3rd total time. Sucks a lot. And I feel like the nicotine pouches are significantly more addictive than cigarettes or tobacco ever were.

My secret this time was nicotine lozenges. They taste so terrible that it even overcame the positive association I have with nicotine. Good luck out there!

Best advice, dont break 2 laws at once. If you are going to drink alcohol underage, dont drive. If you are going to smoke weed, dont do it while you are trespassing somewhere etc etc.

Measles, theocratic government, phrenology: everything old is new again.

Use a napkin or suffer a minor finger burn. Worth it for the outcome.

You put mustard on top and then spin the hotdog do the mustard is applied 360° and doesnt get all over you while you eat it.

Dont forget Microsoft Bob

I like both. But a ridiculous dub can add a lot of fun to an already ridculous movie.IE All Monsters Attack

Japanese monster fighting movies. Godzillas especially but it needs to be guys in rubber suits doing stunts shot in slow motion. If you have that, I’m there. No matter how bad the acting no matter how bad the story, no matter how horrendous the dub. Give me big rubber monsters fighting and I’m there.
