I get the hate for those movies, but I honestly enjoyed them all.

They are what got me to watch TOS, finally. Then I did a full watch through of the series. They were great for revitalizing the fan base and making new fans.

I honestly love having the movies as a different universe/timeline. Saves us from tone whiplash, like Shakespeare TNG Picard vs Rambo Movie Picard.

I want to see this variation of a zombie movie.

Patient zero is a prominent politician.

His handlers continue to puppet him, because they already spent so much on his campaign.

Followers literally line up to be bitten and infected.

Imagine how hard it would be to resist wording things in the Imperative just... Accidentally.

You get frustrated, yell "Shut up!" at someone in passing, and that person is now mute unless you realize your mistake and undo it.

To confirm what you mean by "I'm a conservative", which of these commonly held "conservative" beliefs (each which implies a lack of empathy) do you not subscribe to (i.e. "I don't think like that...")

  • Black people only get harassed by police more often because they commit more crime.
  • Gay people shouldn't be allowed to marry.
  • Women should not have the choice of abortion.
  • The state is allowed to infringe upon free speech to prevent you from telling children about gay people.
  • Foreigners are ruining this county.
  • Climate change is a lie.
  • COVID was a lie.
  • Contemporary statues honoring Confederate traitors and slave owners are "honored cultural heritage".
  • All corporate media lies about Donald Trump, except that corporate media which supports him.
  • Rich people earned all that money, and we have no right to take it back, or to limit how they use it.

At the very least, there needs to be some serious audits of the power structures of Starfleet and the Federation. So many evil admirals...

Horrible article title, obviously written to be misleading clickbait.

They didn't delete the pension fund.

They deleted the Google Cloud account running the management of said fund.

It was inaccessible for a week, but has been fixed.

Big fuck up, and big news. But on the level of "hurts Alphabet stock and panics people for a week" not "bankrupts countless people, maybe crushing a whole nation's economy."

To be fair, this comic isn't just about abortion. It could also apply to things like "modesty" laws in places like Iran.

It doesn't matter what the ice cream represents. If the argument for a law is wholly religious in nature, then it is unjust.

Might subcategorize, like "Frankensteinian irony."

That, or she should be named "Mary" instead, I guess.

Honestly, I put animal abusers in a lower circle of hell, along side child abusers.

It's about the power differential. The difference between a white adult male and a black adult female (for example) might be considerable, but its not going to be even close to the power differential between either of those adults and a child or a pet.
