I really hope they try, the CIA is watching and they nab him out from their own dumb noses so Assy can visit the US right when Trump loses. Maybe they can even be court buddies! I'm sure there are a lot of Russian hackers he will immediately squeal about to make sure he isn't tossed into a federal prison with meat around his neck while the guards scream "PEDOPHILE" to all the other inmates.

Best episode is the one where he gets his mind taken over by a probe that makes him live out the memories of a long dead guy from a dying planet. I saw a rerun of that when I was like 5 and I still think about it sometimes.

If I were Picard I would have kept that probe and punk'd people with it.

Wait, is Frakes dead? Google says no. Did he do something to lose his ownage status? Cause Riker's open-door, equal opportunity boning policy was one of the coolest things about TNG. Dude was down for anything, with anyone, at any time.

nah poor choice of words, he is still around. And yeah Riker was awesome. If dude had been on the original series he'd have been like "so this is basically a blob that drools acid and eats rock. okay. Bones... wheres the hole. You know the one."

like Kirk gets the rep but poo poo, Riker was probably worse, the man just had a holodeck and command privileges to keep the edge off whenever he needed. Kirk gets horny, it's either try to seduce the yeoman for the eighth time or a bottle of space lotion and pics of green ladies

The episode where Riker has a forbidden romance with an androgynous alien who's obviously played by a female, thus losing all the impact of the point about gay tolerance that it was supposedly making.
Fairness to Riker's actor: He wanted that alien to be played by a man, not a woman, but the producers chickened out.

I'm sorry, but I hate these kind of articles. "Congrats, you're no longer a neonazi!" Isn't something that should be lauded as remarkable, but white people seem to need near constant praise.

FactsAreUseless posted:

White people should be praised when they do good things, but not consistently. They should get praised once for every random number of good things. That's stronger reinforcement.

No, white people should not be handed cookies for managing to figure out that it's loving stupid to hate people based solely on the color or their skin or their last name and literally nothing else, especially when they are the privileged class. This near constant need to center yourselves, even when you're the villain in every objective sense, is annoying as the gently caress to every PoC. It will only make that fall from privilege all the more harder on white people and more likely for them to lash out in violence when that privilege does disappear.

TL;DR - you don't get a cookie for managing to act like a decent human being. The floor of humanity. for everyone else should not be the ceiling for white people.

I said this before, but: I was just making a psychology joke. Random interval reinforcement is the idea that if a behavior is positively reinforced, but only sometimes, that reinforcement is stronger. It's the same principle used in things like lovely f2p mobile games and slot machines. I was not making a serious statement about politics.

My second favorite is where the crew had to save a bunch of actual Irish people because the Irish are a bunch of lazy drunk hicks who managed to gently caress up their colony. Hilarious!

Or the one where Worf condones the only sane course of action and everyone acts like he's crazy... oh wait that was like 90% of the episodes

At least we're not the Thalmor (yet)
Yeah, at this point I bet there could be an actual video of Trump sexually assaulting a woman and the hardcore Trump supporters would either A) say if was a false flag attack with actors staged by the (((media))) or B) become convinced she was a liberal plot placed there by the Clintons to seduce Trump just so they'd have dirt on him in case he ever ran for President or C) not care at all because women having rights? Pfft, what a joke #RepealThe19th #NeverHillary #ZionistMedia.

Trump has not just courted, he's attempted to legitimize the whole 'the government did 9/11, faked the moon landing, killed JFK, are all reptiles, and ran over my dog' conspiracy wackos that you usually only see rarely. Paired with his dangerous rhetoric of 'the establishment is evil' and his spiraling out of control, I fear this won't be over just because Trump loses. He'll be sitting there in his Ivory Tower saying 'the election was stolen from me' and 'I'm the REAL President', and there will be a segment of the population who basically acts as if he's their leader.

IDK using the Ecuadorian embassy to front a child sex ring sounds like it's a quick way to either get him kicked out on the street (since the Ecudaorians can't exactly recall him back to Ecuador since he's not an actual diplomat) or the British to revoke their diplomatic immunity and raid the embassy.
