That’s nice, but it’d really be cool if he was also the messiah of an alien religion. Oh well.


More like the military governor of a port city. Even if Starfleet isn’t a military organization, the Bajoran Militia most definitely is one. And by means of the Bajoran soldiers under his direct (even divine) command, Sisko exercises legislative, executive, and judicial power at the equivalent of a municipal level, even extending over the civilian population of the station.
I want to see the timeline where Sisko declares DS9 an independent state.


Mirab with sails unfurled!


I’m going to start using this expression in every day conversation.
At first I thought this was an announcement from Microsoft.


Krombiception, of course.
…you do have krombiception, don’t you?
“Expressed greater intent to commit rape”
I would really like to know how they measured this. I get the feeling that the men being studied didn’t come out and state, “yes, I have a greater intent to rape” on a survey or something. The researchers must have been using something as a proxy for “intent to rape”.
I’d also like to see the stats for how many of the men have actually raped someone. For example, if 86% are rated as “more likely to rape” after watching porn, but 99.9% don’t rape anyone, then that would suggest there is no correlation between porn and rape.


Merde
Parent: Say “dad”
Baby: “Dad”
Don’t leave us hanging. Who won the argument?


“Not do anything useful” would be more accurate than “do nothing”. But that’s just my tl;dr.


[…] the resolution also contains many unbalanced, inaccurate, and unwise provisions the United States cannot support. This resolution does not articulate meaningful solutions for preventing hunger and malnutrition or avoiding their devastating consequences.
The United States is concerned that the concept of “food sovereignty” could justify protectionism or other restrictive import or export policies […]
We also do not accept any reading of this resolution or related documents that would suggest that States have particular extraterritorial obligations arising from any concept of a “right to food,” which we do not recognize and has no definition in international law.
tl;dr:


But the resolution passed anyway, which is why world hunger has disappeared.


Tom Hanks in “Big”?


Here’s a rainbow that is close enough for the trees across the street to appear behind it.



When Tuvok is blinded in Voyager’s Year of Hell, he explicitly activates the tactile interface for his console. So it’s definitely something that LCARS supports.


The alternate future in DS9’s The Visitor implies through dialog that they have 3-D controls on newer starships.
