  The one I absolutely loathe (maybe because I run into it more often) is them stealing when I press Ctrl+f to focus their page’s search textbox.

  And people doubt the hypercarnivore theory.

  isn’t at the expense of either of the characters

  It always felt like Odo had the slight upperhand (or narrative sympathy?) in every scenario which was a tad annoying when a major theme of his character arch is his possible propensity for outright authoritarianism (a character arch I thought was brilliant to give him and, sadly, not explored nearly enough).

  I still love both of them but that aspect of the dynamic will always bother me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That one time when he made cheese and it broke the ship⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t say it’s bad acting? It seems right in line with an anxious people-pleaser who doesn’t know when to quit. I thought he was spot on.

  Frankly, this is why I’m still antinuclear; everyone is always, “It’s so easy to store!” but, like, that’s a reliance in a world that loves cutting corners (usually because of corporate pressure…).

  I’d rather invest in the energy source that doesn’t have devastating consequences if we don’t do it right or someone decides to drill into it despite all the warnings we put up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The recent Star Trek series are often criticized for "not being woke enough", but I've come to feel the envelope they are pushing is much more radical, bolder, and important to our specific time...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, – watching at the age I am now – it’s hard for me to not notice how much of a given carceral justice is taken as a given rather than anything remotely more restorative.

  And treatment of mental disability still unfomfortably mirrors our current system than anything I’d hope for so far into the future.

  I think we can accept that the premise is we’ve made astounding strides and there are still areas of improvement; I don’t think that tarnishes the hopeful and utopian dream at the heart of Star Trek.

  Oh, you were one of them that worked with the dolphins?

  That’s just facts.

  But we can still wish.

  Everything is political; how much you notice really is just a metric of how much a particular subject effects you.

  This is such a great example.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, bud; maybe let’s not bring whorephobic and misogynistic euphemisms into this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Truly; it’s shocking how much people are still clinging to permissive licensing in the middle of everything going on.
