What handheld is he playing in the top image? Looks too small to be a steam deck

Oh OK

Northerners weren’t simply more high minded than southerners concerning slavery - industrialization lessened their dependence on slaves to the point where they could abandon slavery without the economy crumbling.

Presumably this would happen in the south as they industrialized as well.

We grant you the rank of EU member, but you are not in Europe.

Edit: For those of you taking this seriously, it’s just a play on a stupid star wars meme

I’m not sure how to spoiler tag so I’ll be vague, but I think it was necessary to have her opt into that romance even though she knew there was a tragic ending to it.

Oh and the short story is very good, as is Ted Chiang’s entire collection. I would definitely recommend reading them to any scifi fan.

It happens in the short story too.

As someone who came into the series at elden ring, I agree with you. I initially tried a mage and it felt quite a bit more difficult than sword and board.

The game felt like it was designed for physical weapons and shield, whereas with magic the difficulty was all over the place - easy time with one boss, nearly impossible on another. If you aim for a boss cheese build maybe magic is easier.

It really bothered me that they didn’t even mention the doctor, what with seven of nine being there and the ai plotline. But after watching more of Picard, I’m glad they didn’t and especially glad they mostly steered clear of ds9.

There is an episode later where Data defends the rights of a less-human-looking artificial life (the one with exocomps), though no courtroom scenes.

I think most star trek episodes can be torn apart pretty easily - I actually enjoy pointing out errors while I watch. But it’s good drama and themes with fun characters in an optimistic future, which is still a rarity decades later.

Also who says “anyone can become president”? Liars and the gullible, I guess

What’s wrong with whacking it to sports illustrated? Who is being harmed?

Don’t like the sound of that

Didn’t the huge group of humans that could never agree on anything all decide to go live without technology with cave men at the end? It’s been a very long time since I watched it but I remember hating that. iirc there were some unresolved plot lines too, but I don’t remember enough to list them. I was a huge fan of the early seasons.

Yes, it’s this one. What a god awful episode.

Agreed. I saw this and thought it looked beautifully passive aggressive

Are we head canoning Kira as bi now or is she including mirror universe Kira in this? Or maybe I missed something in several watches.

I did. You never explained where you got this idea that Millennials have a 25 year gap and the others are 10.

Which is exactly why I qualified it saying it’s not exact. What dates are you using? You must be using something to say that Millennials are 25 years while the others are 10. That’s MY point.

It’s not an exact definition, but below I think is close:

Baby Boomers: Born 1946-1964 (18 years)

Generation X: Born 1965-1980 (15 years)

Millennials (Gen Y): Born 1981-1996 (15 years)

Generation Z: Born 1997-2012 (15 years)

Generation Alpha: Born 2013-present

What you’re saying doesn’t line up with this at all, but maybe you have other generation dates in mind.
