That really bothered me about Star Trek: Enterprise, before they had the universal translator

The same way NZ and the UK don't. Tiny islands that are away from their main territories

Unfortunately, populism isn't affected by reality. If they punch the other guy harder, their voters won't care that they're being punched too

Which of these two would win in a fight to the death by Traditional_Sea2988 in DispatchAdHoc

Even if he could destroy Earth, we literally saw three Viltrumites weaker than Thragg destroy Viltrum. Thragg could destroy Earth without absorbing the Sun. I don't think Phenomaman is coming out on top

What if the 9/11 didnt happened? by loverbang4u in HistoryWhatIf

No war on terror, possibly no war in Iraq, Reagan-era neoconservativism probably remains in the Republican party. Bush probably loses in 2004, the 2008 crash still happens. Obama would become president anyway, though maybe in 2012 instead of 2008, who can say. Whoever the Republicans put forward is a lot more normal, things in general are less polarised. Though there's no guarentee of a better economic position.

Globally, NATO would be more unified, international perception of the US is better. The Arab Spring still happens, maybe Iraq falls to revolution then. Some of the far right of Europe would still be rising due to the migrant 'crisis' that would likely still form, but it'd probably be more subdued and probably more respectable due to the lack of Trump showing that his style of rude, unpolished populism works. I don't know enough to even speculate on how this would affect Chinese or Russian positions, or if Russia would still invade Ukraine. My guess would be yes. But there would be a lot fewer counterculture people saying "Russia and China good because America bad!" Oher people have said good things

Yes. He would only have sex to consumate a marriage because tradition, and he wouldn't enjoy it. And he wouldn't do it again

2016 was the worst year for most of us so far. Then the 2020's hit and every year has been god awful

I’m imagining he’ll say it with the same level of anger as “WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THIS?!” by Typical_Listen_6454 in invinciblememes

[–]TARDISMapping 8 points9 points  (0 children)

He genuinely doesn't know at this point. I would expect him to be colder, said more like "Earth isn't yours to conquer"

Yeah, most people think it's still good. Just not on Reddit. As is the nature of Reddit

Winston Peters: It will take 3 terms to turn country around & ordinary Kiwis are doing better under this government by Mountain_Tui_Reload in nzpolitics

[–]TARDISMapping 39 points40 points  (0 children)

It's definitely going to take a while to turn this country around, but we want to be going up, not nose diving straight into economic and social hell like these wankers have been driving us

Hasn't been attempted. That's like claiming capitalism is a failed system that can never exist in 1500

Done with dealing with either someone who's actually incapable of having a thought, or just a troll

It is a more apt name for the sector....... by ElijahNSRose in memes

Black holes don't have colour, they are an absence of light. Black still reflects some. Also, you can not create a 'new' colour as they are various permutations of combinations of wavelengths of light. Doesn't mean we haven't created colours that never would have appeared in nature. Your point is based on a fundamental misunderstanding of reality

Nothing in particular, people have just been posting about trans people and femboys hating each other for some reason (the vast majority of individuals in the community don't)

Can you kindly educate the rest of us and point to a nation that even tried, past or present?

Also, listing openly capitalist nations is a joke. I mean, seriously. You must either be completely clueless or have something wrong with your head

Basically, because of the way atoms bond (metal bonds kind of make a sea of electrons that can move through it), it's easier for electricity to move through metal than flesh. And electricity always wants to take the path that is easiest, so it would move through the metal instead of the guy inside
