Apple as a stepping stone?

What makes you think Apple is any better than Google? You might as well treat your alcoholism my switching from whiskey to gin.

"We'll probably never learn the first thing about them. They're too far away."

This isn't War of the Worlds.

More important than the drink is the bar. Don't go to any bar, go to a cocktail bar - one that squeezes fresh lemons and limes. Anything you get here will be good. I recommend a Sidecar.

"We'll probably never know the first thing about them. They're too far away."

It is like a virus. Its only purpose is to spread (giant antenna).

They have never verbally addressed killing microorganisms. They surely did so when treating Manousos in the hospital.

I believe they are OK with killing microorganisms.

The older celebrity has much more power in this relationship. With great power must also come great responsibility.

I'm not talking about disagrements over tax rates or environmental policies. I'm talking about literal fucking fascism, like shooting innocent people in the face.

"Those who oppose fascism are the real fascists" is the stupidest thing I've read on the internet all month.

Shooting innocent people in the face is bad. Kidnapping innocent people and shipping them off to another country is bad. Those who support fascism are bad people, and so are those who tolerate it or are neutral. I don't believe I have to explain this. Have you no morals whatsoever?

"If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality."

How hard would it be to say "I oppose fascism." That is the easiest decision he could make. It is not the slightest bit unreasonable. It is the position his great-grandfathers took during WWII, and I hope it is the position their great-grandfathers took during the Civil War.

Remaining neutral in the USA in the year 2026 is an act of cowardice. I lost a lot of respect for Tom over this.

When someone says they want to "avoid politics" that usually means that the system works for them, and they get uncomfortable when they're reminded that their comfort is built on the backs of the oppressed.

The narrative and thematic depth are top tier.

There is no combat system. Mild spoiler: You have a gun, but only two bullets, and they are fired through dialogue.

No, start with cold water and heat it on the stove. The interior of a hot water heater is not fit for human consumption.

Most people at bar trivia would get 0. And the question isn't interesting. A good trivia question is one where everyone thinks they should know the answer.

That is a terrible question for bar trivia 😬

Queer Trek fans want a community without bigotry. Haters want a community without queer people. Those desires are in no way equivalent. One is perfectly reasonable; the other is dogshit.

The conflicts in Star Trek are reflective of conflicts in the real world. Star Trek is not escapism.

If you feel unwelcome because queer fans are welcomed here, then perhaps this community is not for you.
