Internet anonymity in general is a terrible thing and I would do away with it if I could. I’m impossible to say who’s a real person, who’s a bot, who’s an alternate account. It’s allowed every evil and terrible person to find others like them and embolden each other without the oversight of social pressure from the rest of society which I think is an essentially needed social cue of healthy human communities.
Yes I realize the irony of posting this on Lemmy.
Austin is a gem.
French toast is basically single-serving bread pudding. I’ve found that people don’t need too much convincing to have dessert for breakfast.
I don’t even think they look that similar tbh. Besides, how many ancient symbols are there that don’t have any resemblance to anatomical structures? Probably most of them. This is just the power of suggestion.
Bruh this is not science. This is a coincidence.
Sweet, are Advice Animals back?
We all do the best we can, so whenever anyone criticizes your choice of consuming something, just hit em with ol’ reliable “no ethical consumption under capitalism”
Couldn’t get through on any site last night. But, I’m signed up for the Nintendo preorder on 5/8 so I feel pretty good I’ll get one of those.
And if not, whatever. They’ll make more, I’ll get one eventually.
Because nobody wants to be second fiddle.
It was never overtly stated that Barclay was doing sex stuff, though I thought it was a neat bit of world building how they said that recreating people they knew in real life was sort of taboo.
Starve to death, probably. Isn’t that what happened to King Midas?
I’d call it a strong nose.
I have some bad news about the rest of the 21st century
Pick your poison.
I think this has been pretty explicitly confirmed in DS9 and LD.
Hard to compare, because Star Trek Earth really has no need for modes of production. Hence my parenthetical - it’s hard to describe their “economy” in terms of the systems we have today since they can produce pretty much anything they need, as much as they need, whenever they need it.
The X Games
I would direct these questions to your doctor then, assuming that’s who’s instructing you to take your blood pressure.
Not about the characters themselves, but lots about the universe.
-We don’t see it on screen a lot, but I assume that automation takes a lot of the less desirable jobs. This frees up people to pursue their passions or improve themselves without having to worry about who’s going to want to dedicate their life to being a janitor.
-While money isn’t necessary on Earth or within the Federation at large, Starfleet members and/or Federation citizens are given stipends to spend at places that may need it. This includes ports of call like Farpoint Station or non-Federation establishments like Quark’s Bar.
-Unpopular one incoming. The economy of Earth (for whatever the term “economy” is worth here) operates more similarly to an idealized form of capitalism than it does to communism. We see that private property canonically exists and can be acquired or relinquished through personal transactions. The Picards own Chateau Picard, Joseph Sisko owns Sisko’s restaurant, and they’re free to operate them as they see fit.
Why does blue get separated into different shades?
