So your logic is that supporting garbage is better than supporting the anti-garbage because it makes clear to everyone that you and everybody else are supporting garbage? Don't you think voting Trump because "he will win" is a self-fulfulling prophecy?

Crew romance doesn't play a big role in Voyager tbh, gay or not. The only proper relationship we see fleshed out is between B'Elanna and Tom Paris. We hear about Tuvok's wife, Janeway's fiance, and whatever that is between Seven and Chakotay.

It will be interesting to see Harry dating men but I don't see a pairing on the bridge.

It depends on what you're wiping off. If it's for drying yourself after a shower, then I'd just use my big bath towel to dry every part of my body since they should all be clean by that point. I sometimes use an extra towel for my hair since I have long hair and it needs some extra fabric to help dry out.

What a read. We thought the world is getting smaller as people connect with each other through social media, and yet we are worlds apart on this one. These rich people just can't fathom a life without a yacht. To them, it's not luxury, it's a necessity, just like you and I need water. No matter how much education they might have had, it's not enough to get through their thick skulls to make meaningful change with their lifestyles.

Disinformation. BRICS and ASEAN are not ditching the dollar and definitely not this year. ASEAN agreed to promote local currencies and reduce reliance on the US dollar, not to ditch it.^1^ BRICS is definitely not ditching the dollar as well. There was no consensus in the BRICS summit. Brazil wanted a common BRICS currency, Russia, China and South Africa wanted to promote local currencies instead, and India is less enthusiastic about dethroning the dollar.^2^

Hope she gets some much needed mental health support in prison
