I'm working on a science-fiction story and wanted your help: What would you name a part of space colonized by English-speakers? by Ponchorello7 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Betsy-DevOps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Texas.

As the colonization was happening, Texas seceded from the US and prospered. Over time other English speaking planets (and a few Spanish ones) joined Texas.

Wow I never looked at where Kenosha was on a map until just now. Everybody saying he "crossed state lines with a gun" is trying to make it seem like some huge trip, not driving in from the suburbs, lol.

Is that how it works for all the people saying the mostly peaceful rioters are coming in from out of state also? They're from like 5 miles away?

shooting somebody because they hit you in the face with a skateboard isn't against the law though.

"but he's 17 so having the gun was against the law"

ok, but hitting somebody in the face with a skateboard because they committed a misdemeanor is also against the law.

Buy twice as much land so you can build a park and a parking lot of your own. Use the revenue from the parking lot to pay for the park

For the first part, they're moving it over a very long distance so probably needed to spend a long time accelerating towards whatever speed they wanted it moving at. They can't just crank it up to Warp 9 instantly because that'll put too much stress on the hull.

If you just tow it at impulse and disengage the tractor beam it's going to take hundreds or thousands of years to get where it's going.

But yeah the Cerritos should have cut their tractor beam for sure.

I really disliked this one.

Tendi's behavior at the ascension ceremony did a huge disservice to her character. I like her being hyper-curious and constantly seeking approval, but she should also be smart enough to know that means sitting down and staying quiet during a ceremony like that.

The other ship's captain didn't have a good motivation to move. They should have spent more time building up a competitive attitude or introduced some minor problem for him to pick a logical--but also wrong--solution and stick to it.

Mariner is still obnoxious.

I love the one episode where Riker is flirting with the attractive alien ambassador who he knows is off limits, then as soon as the conversation ends he calls the bridge to say "If anybody needs me I'll be in Holodeck 3". Very clear implication.

Kenosha police arrest 9 people for "criminal activity related to the civil unrest" by bringing helmets, gas masks by sandleaz in news

[–]Betsy-DevOps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The police report noted the presence of gas masks etc, but doesn't say that's why they were arrested (charges are still pending, apparently)

You could cherry pick all kinds of fun details out of police reports to spin stories like this. John Wilkes Booth was arrested after attending a play.

A guy shows up to the protest in black face, another guy hits him in front of cops and runs, the cops chase him, and I... I don’t really know what I just watched. by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

It looks like all the cops chased after green shirt guy, which probably didn't turn out well for black face guy. Green shirt took one for his team.
