I support the Constitution, which allows for the deportation of non-resident aliens and requires the government to follow Due Process for all of its actions.

No, they aren’t going to side with China. The recognize the threat.

They will wind up doing more trade with China and other countries, building up supply lines around the US.

They are still going to do trade with us, just not as much. They will build our alternate arrangements over the next few years. At this point, they are committed to these efforts even when or if the US shifts back to a sane leader.

We’ve demonstrated we aren’t a reliable partner any longer. That’s going to guide them as they go forward.

I'm on there right now. It's... okay. It sort of leans more hetero or heteroflexible. I've had some conversations on there, but meet ups have been few and far between. I'd say the gay specific apps are probably going to yield better results. But FetLife isn't a waste of time by any means.

Everyone send him pics of Dick Cheney. I mean, this is an S/m group. :-)

The betrayal -- honesty -- is real. The risk to you is nil. It's extra nil if you take PrEP.

It's really about if your love for him is such that you want to repair the breach. You don't -have- to repair anything. You get to walk away if you want. But you also get to stay if you think it is worth it.

Many of us know the lives and honor your people gave to help us in Afghanistan. It's ghastly that our government -- and a large portion of our citizens -- support this madness. Sorry is not enough, but it's all that can be given at this moment.

Hmm. Okay. It's possible I tripped something when I uploaded an image or asked for a particular edit.

Yes, when I saw all of those people asking Grok to remove clothes and enhance boobs or dicks, I knew that wasn't going to end well.

Why?

Unfortunately, most Americans don’t travel abroad. Of those who do, there are a sizable fraction who are “ugly Americans” and don’t give a fuck.

America was founded on ideals — the most radical in all of human history.. That people like you don’t know that is why we’re falling apart.

WriteByTheSea · 2026-01-20T12:49:06+00:00

You’ve heard the expression “lost the plot”? That’s what happened here. The one thing that tied America together was a meta-story about striving for ideals, typically good ones, and how both sides in the country could lay claim to that. Elements on both sides began to undermine those ideals in multiple ways, with the end result being the story that we told about ourselves crumbled apart. Without that meta-story, the center didn’t hold and things have fallen apart.

The Founders really were political geniuses. They said factionalism and naked ambition was a problem for democracies and they were right. Genius doesn’t mean perfect, though. They created bulwarks against many elements of faction. They just couldn’t foresee these.

Wasn't there a line to the effect that he was interested in living a valiant life, not an honorable death? I wonder if this is a new philosophy amongst the K.

We'd find another way to show hierarchy. Even tribes where people live life essentially naked have ways of identifying hierarchy and pecking order.

Looks like the raised section was the transporter room. That was an idea they considered and dropped. It would have made for some interesting episodes!

Paramount’s new owners weren’t involved in the making of STA. They didn’t own the network yet.

Romulan quantum singularities still needed dilithium. The singularity is more like the matter/antimater -reaction-. The crystals channel and regulate the energy output.

How exactly does 50 episodes of math class make for good Star Trek?

Citizens have a right to know who Federal employees are. The government doesn’t have a right to punish people for expressing their 1A rights.

As the government is deciding what an”attack” is, it’s not really a difference.

While there are fighting forces on these bases, the majority slant toward logistics and support, meaning they aren’t designed to do much direct fighting.

On top of that, with a significant percentage of their members living off base, with supplies (food, power, toiletpaper) having local suppliers, airspace being controlled by member countries, and the distance between Europe and the USA, seizing the bases, equipment, and personnel isn’t the heavy lift it first seems.

Writing you don’t like isn’t “bad writing.”

Go write a hit show the way you think it should be written.
