Of all the characters that "learn to be human" in Star Trek, I think Odo is the best. It was even very human of him to go home at the end and try to drag his family into the modern era.
You'll just be incorporated into the larger Lewis of it all, like Odo returning to the Great Link
There are worse realities to wake up to, my friend. At least then you'll have a boat, probably.
Agreed. At best, Yeshua ben David was an almagamation of first century doomsday preachers, of which there were several. The Essenes had a couple centuries where a bunch of dudes walked around saying about the same stuff as Joshua, and all the records we have back up his non-existence.
I don’t know dude. If James Baldwin was able to write all his work while his friends were being assassinated by the FBI, and while he was living in terror as a gay Black man … then maybe you can write without using A.I.
Oooo, and ibuprofen! Limberness IS cool!
"I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
Death thought about it.
CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

It's because the dem party exists to pretend at opposition to fascism without being effective in order to prevent real opposition to fascism from gaining access to the levers of power, i hope this was helpful
Christian Nationalism has always been a part of Christianity. The last two centuries are full of Christians saying, "Nope, you can't come here, you're not a REAL Catholic/Protestant/Christian." Before that it was mostly just murder and torture for the same things.
Free Palestine. Outlaw billionaires.
Oo, that's not bad, thank you!
I'm trying to get away from the arts because, even though it's what I would love to do, I'm 42 and I need to make money at SOME point in my life.
Question: what job with talking and charisma can I get, that isn't sales or teaching, and doesn't need a degree? There has to be something.
That makes sandwiches magical, which is obviously true.
Voldemort and Darth Vader didn't rape kids. Just sayin.
Every time.
I'm encouraged that most of the people you're replying to I've already blocked, but the replies are still fun.
Not enough of y'all understand the Overton Window, and it shows. Fuck, does it show.
Woah woah woah, you mean to tell me you won't vote for someone who doesn't recognize or respect your basic humanity? What about Vote Blue No Matter Who?! (This is sarcasm, we need a font for that).
For what it's worth, you're not alone, and I won't vote for someone like that either.
Like it or not, as a whole we are responsible for every horrendous thing he is doing. I'm 42 and I will spend the rest of my life paying that debt back.
Life is like water; there will always be some shit in it.
Better a whore than a pedo. It makes me wonder if Harry knew about all this, and that's the reason he really left.
I get what this is shooting for, but I don't know if you can pin all that on modern times. Christian history is chock full of eras when pain equaled salvation and when love came at the tip of a sword. The Christian Nationalism of today is following an old, old tradition of Christianity.
Good, that's OUR house.
As a kid, I always thought it was more fun to play the Indian than a cowboy. And as a history buff, I know there is no calvary ever mustered that can stand against The People united.
There is no Chosen One coming to save us. There is no magic sword to find or ring to destroy, there is no hero coming. Only the Power of The People can save us now.
