Might subcategorize, like "Frankensteinian irony."

That, or she should be named "Mary" instead, I guess.

The population of NYC is 8 million, and they had fewer than 1M votes for mayor? That, like, 12.5%.

Even if you limit it to just citizen population, I found that number to be 6-7 million. Thats still only a 14-16% voter turnout.

The fuck?

It's called "Whattaboutism" and it's straight from Russia's playbook.

Maybe this is the larva of the Cerritos Warp Moth, named after the ship which discovered it.

This is anecdotal, but... I feel like it has gotten really slow. It's like it doesn't index anymore. It's so slow as to be unusable, even if I'm just searching within one DM history.

Yeah, imagine a small rural town trying to start their own car factory today.

"Oh, it's going to cost $100 Million? Well shit..."

Yeah, as much as I actually loved those movies (they were the gateway drug that got me back into Star Trek after only watching random episodes on syndication), I think their window of relevance has passed. Making another one would be pointless, unless maybe if it was some crossover with Strange New Worlds. But I imagine that would confuse general audiences horribly.

Yeah, I've seen this come up a couple times.

The problem is the English language doesn't have a word that works as well as "children" when talking about your adult sons and daughters. The technical best might be "offspring", but it has that same weird clinical sound as referring to people as "males" or "females". It'd be like trying to use "humans" as the inclusive replacement for "ladies and gentlemen." (That said, "humans" has a certain comedy value in its use.)

Okay, but that's still not a "deeper cut" than the single parent living paycheck to paycheck getting a fine that puts them on the street.

Until fines are proportional to wealth, laws only apply to the poor. The rich can pay for an indulgence.

As an Idahoan, I'm just overjoyed that Larry Craig is still being referenced after all this time.

It's just nice to be in the conversation occasionally.

The fact Q shows up at the end to meet Jack makes me wonder if he had anything to do with the "accident".
