ApostleO,

At the very least, there needs to be some serious audits of the power structures of Starfleet and the Federation. So many evil admirals…

ApostleO,

Is this lasagna?

ApostleO,

To be fair, this comic isn’t just about abortion. It could also apply to things like “modesty” laws in places like Iran.

It doesn’t matter what the ice cream represents. If the argument for a law is wholly religious in nature, then it is unjust.

ApostleO,

Might subcategorize, like “Frankensteinian irony.”

A question about Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home. [Spoilers]

The whales Gracie and George were stated to have wandered into San Francisco as calves. Outside of feeding events which can include the famous bubble nets, humpback whale pods usually consist of a lone mother and calf (or calves) pairing with a trailing “escort” male. Humpbacks are one of the few mammals that can be nursing...

ApostleO,

That, or she should be named “Mary” instead, I guess.

ApostleO,

Debt strike!

Debt strike!

Debt strike!

ApostleO,

Honestly, I put animal abusers in a lower circle of hell, along side child abusers.

It’s about the power differential. The difference between a white adult male and a black adult female (for example) might be considerable, but its not going to be even close to the power differential between either of those adults and a child or a pet.

ApostleO,

Currently somewhere around 10 years single.

I struggle with social cues, anxiety, etc.

It’s lonely.

ApostleO,

Confidence? Not so much. But it’s less a fear of rejection, and more a fear of upsetting someone.

In short, my thought process goes like this:

  • Approaching women can make them uncomfortable.
  • I don’t want to make anyone uncomfortable.
  • Therefore, I don’t approach women.

I basically limit myself to online dating, but as we all know, that’s a shit show unless you’re in the top 10% on the scale of attractiveness. And so I’ve been single 10+ years.

ApostleO,

I, for one, thought this was a reasonable take.

What else do people expect you to comment? Like…

Neat.

Or…

Thoughts and prayers for the driver and his family.

?

What discussion can a post like this garner except speculation? And to preface your speculation with an acknowledgement that the story has no real details… seems fair to me.

ApostleO, (edited )

You picked two random days, compared their active user counts, and concluded that it must indicate a continuous trend.

Yesterday, it was 60°F out. Today it’s 30°F out. Clearly, by next week, everyone in my town will be dead by freezing.

Experts struggle with statistics. Laymen, doubly so.

EDIT:

Also, that’s only a difference of 7%, so it’s not even that drastic.

EDIT2:

Also also, what does any of this have to do with your post being removed? What was the post? Did the mod/admin give you a reason for removal?

ApostleO,

Golly! Three whole data points?! Now we are cooking with gas!

ApostleO,

Which explains why it was standard procedure for presidents to put their money in a blind trust. And why Trump didn’t.

ApostleO,

The population of NYC is 8 million, and they had fewer than 1M votes for mayor? That, like, 12.5%.

Even if you limit it to just citizen population, I found that number to be 6-7 million. Thats still only a 14-16% voter turnout.

The fuck?

ApostleO,

The previous conviction was overturned on a procedural issue, like a mistrial. He wasn’t pardoned or found not guilty, so it isn’t double jeopardy. It’s just a “redo” to make sure another jury would still convict without the procedural issue.

AM radio law opposed by tech and auto industries is close to passing | Ars Technica (arstechnica.com)

A controversial bill that would require all new cars to be fitted with AM radios looks set to become a law in the near future. Yesterday, Senator Edward Markey (D-Mass) revealed that the “AM Radio for Every Vehicle Act” now has the support of 60 US Senators, as well as 246 co-sponsors in the House of Representatives, making...

ApostleO,

I had never heard that before, and that now my truth. It makes so much sense.

ApostleO,

the [worst] Democrat [is] better than the best Republican

That’s generally true, but not in the hypothetical. I’d honestly vote for Mitt Romney before I’d vote for hypothetical Democrat-Ticket Trump.

ApostleO,

It’s called “Whattaboutism” and it’s straight from Russia’s playbook.

ApostleO,

Something tells me Bill is saying that publicly, then discreetly paying lobbyists to oppose such moves.

ApostleO,

I’d love to tax the kleptocrat class and pay to fix some of the country’s problems, but I’m worried a woman and her doctor might do medicine deemed heresy by my twisted interpretation of a book of fables I never actually read (and may not even believe). Also the gays and brown people scare me, and somehow the only way I can save myself from them is to give Elon Musk ownership of San Francisco.

ApostleO,

Bill Gates is a higher class of billionaire.

And I’m sure there were some relatively nice nazis in WWII Germany. Still nazis.

ApostleO,

Karma is just debt for morality.

ApostleO,

There are no bad dogs. Only bad dog owners.

ApostleO,

At this point I can only understand it if I know who’s saying it.

That is the most frustrating thing about discussion these days. Everyone using the same words but speaking an entirely different language.

When you don’t agree on the definitions of words anymore, or you don’t hold yourself to using them in good faith, then you take discussion off the table. You’re no longer debating; now you are just arguing. It’s one step away from violence.

ApostleO,

See, we all thought that.

Turns out the problem wasn’t that they committed genocide. It’s that the genocide was directed at the Jewish people.

And as Netanyahu would have you believe, if you’re against Israel, you’re against the Jewish people. So that makes you a Nazi.

Flawless logic, clearly.
