I much prefer the philosophy in Mass Effect. Everyone stumbled across the Mass Relays by accident, so tracking down non-rear end in a top hat species so you can tell them about all this cool FTL junk you found lying around is actually viewed as a moral prerogative. Edit: Mass Effect wears its influences proudly on its sleeve, so I always assumed that was specifically included because Casey Hudson was Mad About Star Trek.

Very vocal cats are only cute they aren't yours. Living with one is a constant barrage of horrible screeches at all hours of day and night. Everyone tells me they love vocal cats but inevitably they have 0 or quiet cats. I love you kitty but SHUT UP

If it turned out that the government really was putting chemicals in the water to make people sterile and/or gay, I don't think I'd be too upset about that.

I know for a fact the actor who played Garak explicitly played Bashir and Garak's first scene as if Garak was hitting on Bashir. What I want to know is which Star Trek characters were gay. They’re all gay. Even the straights? especially the straights

No matter how many times I've seen people earnestly try and explain them, there is no logical explanation for why NFTs have any value. Like most things related to crypto it's just another market for scammers to exploit. It doesn't help when the most ardent NFT defenders are people who own a lot of them and depend on people seeing them as legitimate things that make sense to buy to be able to recoup on their "investment".

Dark Horse is the worst manga publisher in the West. They let popular stuff fall out of print for years and license series just to give up on them. They haven't even solicited the fourth volume of Ms. Koizumi Loves Ramen Noodles yet. Is it a Covid-related delay, or have they decided to stop releasing volumes of that series? With Dark Horse, both are possible.

PHUO: Saying "tens" of something just sounds weird. Using "dozens" covers the same general numerical range and sounds less awkward. As in, "there are dozens of geese up there" vs "there are tens of geese up there".

There should be a movement to re-Germanify america. The single biggest immigrant group in America, and that entire identity was destroyed by WW1. Bring it back, change the names back, biergartens on every block, more tubas, uncover the German history of America.

The German immigrants to America were overwhelmingly left wing and abolitionist. Americans of German descent should be proud of their heritage! It's one of the few cases where a European country sent their good ones to America.

PHUO: There probably needs to be some talk and action on how to deal with surplus men in modern times, but that talk is forever poisoned after incels got access to the internet That is a problem most populations have had to deal with in some way because the men on the losing end of that equation are the main targets for radicalization and other bad propaganda

Yeah war is the big one, but modern warfare is too safe and seldom to have the intended culling effect (at least for members of the superpower side). Plus most militaries are volunteer forces which defeats the point

Like unmarried men from the ages of 24 to 55 have to register for physical combat duties and if your number gets picked you’re off to the Blood Dome where dreams are made and broken and the winner each season is gifted with exemption from the next two seasons.

Part of the New Deal was shipping a bunch of guys off to the middle of nowhere to dig a canal or build a dam or something. We could do that again right now, hire thousands of men and send them off to build solar power plants or dismantle dams or other stuff that needs doing. After a couple months they come home with a fresh tan and some cash in their pocket

Are you an unwed male from the ages of 24 to 55? Then off to the Blood Dome with you! I believe this season is Chainsaw Forest (you’re issued a baseball bat and have to eliminate the other players while navigating trees made of chainsaws), so you’re pretty lucky. Better than Grizzly Bear Boxing by a long shot.

"Sarge, I'm only eighteen, I got a ruptured spleen And I always carry a purse I've got eyes like a bat and my feet are flat My asthma's getting worse" "Yes, think of my career, my sweetheart dear And my poor old invalid aunt Besides, I ain't no fool, I'm a-goin' to school And I'm working in a defense plant" "I've got a dislocated disc and a wracked up back I'm allergic to flowers and bugs And when the bombshell hits, I get epileptic fits And I'm addicted to a thousand drugs" "I got the weakness woes, I can't touch my toes I can hardly reach my knees And if the enemy came close to me I'd probably start to sneeze"

Unsolicited advice is bad advice. If a person doesn't ask me what I think, there's probably a reason, and even if there isn't, I've got no reason to think I understand their situation and motivations and so on. I mind my own business unless someone asks and I dream of a world where others do the same  And Dark Souls 3 is the weakest soulsborne game.
