  • Add I understand it, the real meaning of that line is not exactly what it sounds like. It meant something like "in this anonymous place, only your thoughts matter, not your identity." If an idea was good, it was good, and it didn't matter who had the idea. Very egalitarian.

    Of course, we have since realized that isn't really true. Sometimes it's important to know if a thought is coming from a woman, who has had different experience from a man.

    Still an idea that need to be left behind, but not the one you probably think.

  • That's what Eternal September means.

  • "Pics or it didn't happen" doesn't really work anymore.

  • I'm curious to know why they are there. They can't have much in the way of line of sight from there.

  • I think maybe someone should be worrying about it.

  • The only thing this makes me think is "May I, please?"

  • We can't tell if it's pointlessly gendered unless wet know what the questions are about. Seems likely to be a study of some kind, and knowing how men perceive other men, for example, might be valuable data.

  • Unless you're a MAGA influencer. Then you get evacuated.

  • Isn't that the guy that played Unicron?

  • I'll admit outright that I'm just not interested in most people.

    But I'm terrible with names, even with the people I am interested in. I can tell you all kinds of things about a person, just not their name.

    It's kind of bizarre.

  • I got Councillor Troi for my ship computer. Good times.

  • It's important to note that this specific Nazi is a US Senator, though. Helps illustrate how deep the rot goes.

  • In this case, I'm referring to the description it had during and before WW1, "the sick man of Europe." I'm not 100% clear on what happened, but it was collapsing on itself, and wound up fracturing.

    And I see your point, since I didn't specify a time period. For a while, they were serous badasses.

  • I think things could get better, if the democrats take back power, and then display a level of virtue and resolve they we have never seen from them in the history of ever.

    I think it more likely that we become the Ottoman Empire.

  • the whole political system will lose its credibility

    I think that ship has sailed.

  • Our government isn't quite a case of Trump's word is law. And it was only two years ago that we had a nearly functional government. When Trump finally does the only good thing he will ever do, we have something to fall back on.

  • Always has. Always will. (for a given value of "right.")

    Civilization is an effort to be better than that. Occasionally, we succeed.

  • Also, that one didn't seem to leave any scars.

    I think that refusing to hold her hand was unforgivable.

  • I mentioned to my wife, after Sam had asked, that the Doctor had, in fact, been in love at least once, and maybe three times, but I wasn't sure one of them counted.

    Seems I was wrong. That one did count.
