- Comment on They say MacDonald's is expensive now. Are any other chains still cheap/cheaper? 10 months ago:
I used to be able to get a sausage at the one in Hackensack. Haven't been there in ages though so who knows now.

Another way to exclude young people from society.
- Comment on How does employing a rapist not constitute an unsafe work environment for female employees? 10 months ago:
In an at-will state, which I think is most or all of them.
Right-to-work is different; it means you can't be required to join a union in order to take a job.
- Comment on Any 'creation' of information (pictures, books, code, etc) is just pruning the huge space of possible information to leave just the information you want. 11 months ago:
I'm interested but I'm not sure I have the brain cells for this right now.
- Comment on What's the point of American police saying "Show your hands" after they shot a man? 11 months ago:
Like the guys who literally get away with murder on film need an excuse.

Rain hoods and bigotry.

Depends. Is it Sunday?
- Comment on How do I stop hating children? 1 year ago:
I have this too. The sound of chewing is like nails on a chalkboard all through my bones. It's awful.
- Comment on Chuck Norris has nothing on Gowron 1 year ago:
I swear they picked the dude with the craziest eyes to play Gowron. Like. Look at him. Those are the eyes of an absolute fuckin' maniac.

That song is hilarious.

Goddammit... I've watched enough Bake-Off, I should've known that.

I hate this timeline.

I have a keyboard that supposedly does this. It has never actually worked as advertised.

I have to imagine she had an absolute blast playing this character.
- Comment on Sokath, his eyes uncovered! 1 year ago:
I thought it was a person, witnessing the fall of his city.
- Comment on Sokath, his eyes uncovered! 1 year ago:
I always thought of "Shaka, when the walls fell," as indicating a state of shock, disbelief, or otherwise not understanding what you're witnessing, more so than failure.
Honestly I love interpreting Tamarian meme-speak...

Having spent an unfortunate amount of time debunking bullshit statistics... yes.
- Comment on Is the right to abortion a "negative right" or a "positive right"? 1 year ago:
Negative right. It's freedom from interference. It's not a positive right in that it is not compelling anyone to have or to perform an abortion, only preventing uninvolved parties from interfering in the decision.

That episode was hilarious though.

I forgot he even directed that one. I was more thinking of Frame of Mind.
- Comment on Jonathan Frakes Returning To Direct For ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 3 1 year ago:
So, what I'm hearing is, we're in for some really awesome / utterly mindfuck episodes.

- Comment on When you don't appreciate my extremely long cat themed poetry 1 year ago:
My wife and I spotted your username and we have to wonder: are you aware of the character named Nougat from the game "I Was a Teenage Exocolonist"?
She is adorable, and if you are not familiar you should look at some of her scenes. Your day will be cuter.
- Comment on When you don't appreciate my extremely long cat themed poetry 1 year ago:
Funny thing: Data's cat was played by a different cat in every or almost every appearance. None of them looked remotely alike.
Thus, my fan theory is that in the course of his career Data actually had a series of cats, all of them named Spot.
- Comment on Captain Malcolm Reynolds of Starfleet- Real! 1 year ago:
I bet the AI version looked more coherent, though...
- Comment on The white stuff. 1 year ago:
Yes. Kes was artificially put into it and made a point of saying it happens only once.
As to them having a tendency to single births, I don't remember. There do seem to be few enough of them to indicate a population in decline, but...
If each couple can only have one child ever, their population would halve every generation, wouldn't it? That's... Isn't that wildly unsustainable, biologically?
I suppose they could represent an evolutionary dead-end...
