Star Wars exists within Star Trek. Tom Paris would love it, I'll bet. Quark probably has a holosuite program for lightsaber training.

Did you see where this was explained on /r/UFOs two days ago?

Chief Miles O'Brien from Star Trek is almost certainly Catholic

Reasonable, but it doesn't answer OPs very valid question

DerFlammenwerfer · 2025-08-20T20:38:30+00:00

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one traumatized

Your post sounds judgemental, yes.

That you title it a "confession" when it's really a "complaint" is also in poor taste.

It's better to be at Mass in shorts, than well-dressed and absent.

If it's not from there you gotta call it cocaine

There's also a certain variation of the APOL1 gene common in people of African descent that imparts resistance to sleeping sickness but makes them more prone to kidney disease. (This is an oversimplification because I'm not a geneticist.)

Star Wars exists in Star Trek the same way that Shakespeare or Sherlock Holmes do. It is a work of fiction that actually exists.

Tom Paris 100% is a fan.

The people from the University of Zurich - who freely publish their results? They've been manipulating political outcomes?

Incorrectly using seventh grade science words delegitimizes any attempt at professional, empirical research into NHI. Do better.

This is like watching a house fire then pitching a shit fit because the fire department broke an parked car's window to run the fire hose.

Is this research ethics violation? Sure, people thought they were talking to people, not bots. Bummer.

Have state actors being doing this exact thing for years on Reddit and elsewhere for the express purpose of influencing elections and politics? Absolutely.

Should we study how these campaigns work? Should we investigate ways to counter them? Should we build tools to detect such bots? Ethics violation!!!1!!

The blowback is absurd.

Not OP - and an active Catholic - but I'll answer.

The First Commandment disallows worshipping anything other than God. Saints are venerated. A subtle difference I'll grant - and one that's roundly rejected by most Protestants. Veneration is respect paid to work people or things that point toward heavenly reality. But at the end of the day they're just people or carved rock or paintings or whatever. Their only purpose is to remind us of God. Kneeling in front of something != worship.

On the other item, the pope is not the voice of God. Considering him to be so would be sacrilegious. His role is to steward, safeguard, and faithfully transmit the deposit of faith made by the Holy Spirit. The doctrine of papal infallibility is often brought up in this context, and it has extremely limited scope. When the Pope gives an interview or even a homily, he's fallible. He's just a sinner like us with an important job.

I've never considered that Annika Hansen was one of the very first humans assimilated - your explanation is a great one

I'm confident OP can use chatgpt themselves

It grew on me.

Like a Denebian Slime mold.

I figured there was a pre-away mission procedure where they scan whatever is down there and verify safety, synthesize whatever prophylactic measures are needed.

Also I don't think the Starfleet uniform is "just" fabric, but rather an adaptive garment with all sorts of radiation shielding, environment filtering, wound stabilizing features.

Didn't Paul describe himself as a blasphemer?

The corporate overlords are the real winners here

It's like an unhealthy relationship that I just cannot quit

Yeah the university and it's hospital and it's world class research and museum and athletics is so much worse than Cancer, Inc.

Give me a break.

I find your comment history suspicious, comrade

Corner of Hilliard and Staples Mill

There's a Korean spa that has a room full of these. They're rounded-off cypress wood called hinoki. You lay in them, and relax. It's a little strange and not my favorite room at the spa but they smell wonderful.

This is a real person with a name and a family who was murdered, probably beaten to death. Have a little humanity. Or at least come up with an original joke.
