Garak being really good at buying cheap leftover fabrics and using them up just explains all the clothes on DS9.

There are two kinds of Star Trek fans: those who love Lwaxana Troi and those who are wrong.

Where does "Troi's mother comes to visit" fall?

@Stamets I choose to believe thre was someone else by this name who wasn't an idiot. They mean the 22nd Century Elon Musk.

The solution: Amnesty and citizenship. Screw this "Everyone must suffer trying to be here." They wanna be here. There are jobs for them. Just swear them in and forget all this bullshit.

I saw those pictures in school. We know that Truman signed off on dropping the bomb on two civilian cities and it was a horror that had never been seen in the world before or since.

Dude, we talk about our atrocities all the time. The current push to whitewash Native American genocide and slavery is actually getting a huge pushback, because we talk openly about this stuff in the US and it's only a minority that tries to silence it. We talk openly about the atrocities during the Vietnam War, and about the invasion of Iraq, and about prosecution for war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq.

You can say a LOT about the US, and even the amount of denial we have about our standing in the world, but you can't call us in denial about stuff like that. We're in conflict within ourselves about it, but it's a well known and well discussed thing in the US.

And wait... are you from lemmygrad? The tankie server?

I worked for a guy in Oklahoma City he did.

Biggest asshole I ever worked for. Made the Jewish chick work Christmas, when everyone else was home, because she asked for a Jewish holiday off.

I'm not sure using a program designed to find the most likely words and sentences is a great way to finish up a book series known for turning cliches and tropes on their heads.

In a comment to another post I listed a bunch of communities, and only !cat autolinked. So okay, I can autolink to a federated server with a ! the magazine name and @ the instance name.

But none of my local magazine references worked. What do I do to link a Kbin magazine in a post?

Even if he's dead, his investors and his company should still be held accountable for all this bullshit. We need to put a stop to these assholes cutting out every safety measure except the liability waiver they make the customers sign.

This is a "Let them fight" situation if I ever saw one.

I bet this is more about the stress of being constantly available to your boss, your parents, your teachers, your neediest friends than about wanting a world without technology.
