Waxing romantic.

It turns your face into a bagpipe!

Cognitive dissonance is the emotion disruption caused by internal inconsistencies, not necessarily the inconsistencies themselves. Making peace with them is important for our own sanity. If you don't have any strong emotions, I would probably say there's no cognitive dissonance. I'm not a vegan either.

I still hear their voices from the cartoons in the 80s and 90s. I loved Garfield and Friends and that Christmas movie, the best of the Garfeldian animated projects, was on at least once a year.

Fair points.

Being a pundit is a qualification, not a class. It means you have actual experience and training, not just another doomscroller with semi-informed, highly biased opinions like all of us.

Why is the "pundit class" so desperate to push carbon out of the atmosphere?

So you're an asshole, using religion as an excuse to berate and bully people, got it.

The lead from that game and the guy making Starship Simulator are one and the same! He also worket on Stage9, that Enterprise D fan model that CBS took down.

The ship is really Star Trek looking, truly, but it's getting replaced with a much less infringy looking one. We can all see this is the off brand version of the Star Trek game we wish we had, but they are very safe from a lawsuit. Once you get into it, you see enough of a difference that it's riffing on Star Trek, certainly, but it's still enough of its own thing. The new ship will really do this game a lot of favours in setting it apart instead of leaning into it.

Enough of what?
