The fact that democrats running for office aren’t blasting this to use fear to drive votes is moronic.

The republicans are great at weaponizing fear, it would be so easy to make ads that say “GOP wants you to carry your rapists baby and then have them shot up going to school”

I see you fellow feeble little horse fan

And what happens when he doesn’t pay?

Weird way to phrase “school shootings” but that’s one way to tackle the gun problem. Reframe it

And Dems will refuse to either A) send in the national guard to enforce the law or B) say fuck it the courts are irrelevant and ignore all the BS decisions they want

Shit maybe I need to finally do my SG1 rewatch

Sure Jan

But where’s the fun in that for the rest of us?

I remember when the only place I saw people unironically use the phrase normie was 4chan. And now ironically the normies have adopted the phrase themselves, unknowingly appropriating 4chan culture

They’ve been saying “this is the end of the GOP” for years now. I’m so tired :,(

“ “Winning local races is key to building the statewide infrastructure," Fried said. “We need to win again.” “

This is the case all over but it’s been awhile since the Dems have (appeared to) give a hoot about local elections. Moreover the voter base is just not enthused about voting in those of year elections compared with GOP voters. It’s gonna take a cultural shift. The Dems giving a shit about local races is a start but it’s not a change that happens overnight.

Spend money to shoot people in other countries but try to spend money on aid and these folks lose their marbles

Good point about the Klingons enforcing a quarantine with force.

I’m pretty okay with just accepting it as a design change, I only bring it up because they previously tried to explain it.

Absolutely! Highly recommend watching DS9 :)

The reason why I say the Klingons “changed” and it’s not just a design characteristic is when the crew of DS9 goes back in time to the tribble incidence on board the enteprise, a character (I believe Odo) asks Worf to explain why the Klingons then look so different from him. He gets agitated and refuses to talk about it. If I recall as well, Afflication, the ENT episode has a story indicating that something regarding Augment experimentation resulted in different looking Klingons.

so I saw that website, but what’s weird is I can’t access most of them when I try to search for them?

I’ll click communities at the top, switch my filter to all, and then search for specific communities and can’t find them. For example according to this list there is an amateur radio instance (I think that is the right word?). When I click it I am lead to it but it logs me out. When I search for it under communities though I cannot find it.

Am I doing something wrong? Is there something I’m not grasping about this?

Yeah I won’t lie I’m… very confused but I’m kinda just rolling with it and hoping I figure it out along the way. I can’t speak for others but I find myself generally comfortable with computers and willing to try things out and see what I can do. Some people are afraid to do that and idk how to change it

l am happy that La’an seems to have some sort of characterization other than “hates the gorn and is angry”. There is potential for her to be interesting but she was downright forgettable to me in season 1.

I am confused by the choice to have the Klingons look like the redesign. This is TOS era so surely they should look like TOS era Klingons, no?

It goes without saying I agree with others about M’Benga and Chapel just taking drugs and fighting Klingons. We can find ways to justify it and make it make sense but it feels out of place.

I also just… don’t like Chapels character. It doesn’t really make sense to me that half the time the Nurse is doing the things the doctor would normally be doing but also is a kick ass bad ass action star. If anything the way they’re portraying Chapel should be how La’an is portrayed.

Honestly now that I type that out, I’m thinking about how in TOS Chapel is just a small quiet side character. If you’re gonna have Chapel in SNW maybe it would make more sense for HER to be the one emotionally scarred by the Gorn, and her character arc over the course of the show being a lot about her mental and emotional recovery. Going from being totally reclusive but accepted into starfleet medical for being competent to coming into her own and finding her strengths.
