fermented foods taste better than almost anything else. if you dont know how to appreciate something like surstromming or natto or century egg you need to develop your palate and man up

A baby palate is when you need strong tastes, and also believe talking about the tastes you like doesn't make you seem like a little kid. An adult palate is when you can appreciate subtle tastes.

"Manning up" as well as "growing up" are almost always used by people who are worried they haven't done either and believe that everyone else should do both.

I don't have any evidence to back this up but I strongly believe that a solid majority of nurses have secretly killed at least one patient under their care.

"Man up" just means to carry on through with something even if it isn't going your way or is difficult.

Obviously "man up" is a gender neutral positive and "don't be a woman" is gender neutral negative.

But surely the correct thing to do is check to make sure your doing it the right way if that is what is happening?

I mean if something is difficult you don't just keep doing it, you look and see why it is difficult and try and change it if possible. Then you keep at it.

“Man up” is to do something you are dreading and don’t want to do. For instance, if talking on the phone to a person causes you extreme distress and anxiety where you have to recover for the rest of the day you man up and answer the phone when your mom calls you.

Both the Borg and cylon virus plans were genocide, and putting them into motion would have made Starfleet and the human colonists no better than their enemies. Picard was right not to infect Hugh with the virus, and Helo was right to stop the cylon virus scheme before it could be executed.

Setting BSG aside, the bigger question prompted by the Borg and Picard’s handling of them is during TNG is a doozy - is genocide ever the pragmatic solution to genocide?

Humans are, to the Borg, Species 5618, with first contact in approximately the year 2356. By the year 2375, the Borg had made it to Species 10026. In almost 20 years, the Borg had encountered over 4,400 sentient species, and doubtlessly assimilated many of them. In short, if Picard had infected Hugh in 2368, would he have prevented possibly a thousand (and counting!) genocides? It’s literally the trolly problem.

Arguably, this is why the Borg subplot in Star Trek: Picard is so important. It proved that Hugh and Picard and Seven and the space tweens weren’t outliers - anyone could be saved. Killing a Borg is murder, and to inflict genocide against the Borg is to finalize the genocide of all the cultures it has enslaved.

That's a really interesting point: by genociding the Borg, you're not just eliminating their race but all the races they've assimilated to save your own skins. In a sense that might be worse than what the Borg do.

Making assimilation the way the Borg reproduced kinda ruined the entire concept of them. If you go back and watch the original Borg episodes, they didn't assimilate individuals. They assimilated technological and biological adaptations and added them to themselves. You see an unaugmented Borg baby. They were a separate species. The exact mechanism of biological assimilation isn't explained but presumably it's some kind of genesplicing. So you can't "save" the Borg because they just are Borg. They are something different. That's literally the entire loving point of them in the first episode they appear.

When the assimilated Picard, that is very specifically an aberration. The Borg have encountered a society that they can't easily defeat, and they also can't understand. So they created Locutus as a go-between. Something that was part of the Borg, but still human enough to communicate with the Federation.

But the fact that that was supposed to be a singular event was completely forgotten, and eventually they just became cyber zombies. lame as hell.

The woman president in BSG was literally Hitler. Humanity was, by and large, better off under Cylon rule on Planet Whatever, than under her rule. She only kept the tiny elite in good conditions on the one ship. Everyship else was a Liberal dystopia with child prostitution run rampant.

BSG was so tryhard cynical. I remember reading the official lore summary on what the actual twelve colonies were like, and the one thing it went into any detail on was the lovingly considered ratio of boomer sleaze : religious terrorism : police brutality in each one.
