As an atheist, kindly shut up. Religion isn’t uniquely evil or anything. It’s like any other human institution, which means it’s susceptible to corruption and control.

When you talk about it like this, you’re not helping to deprogram anyone. You just look like a high and mighty ass.

I mean, they were all junior officers being prepped for leadership roles, so it’d just be a regular Star Trek setup

Conspiracy theories exist in a limbo where contradictory evidence always supports the theory, unless, of course, it’s fabricated to hide the truth of the conspiracy. It’s your own personal motte-and-bailey.

They’re referring to the odd shape of the pizza slices. Even when all of the pieces are together, it looks like it’s pieces from other pizza.

In reality, it’s cause they’re pizza slicers are designed to be dull. So, they have to really rock them back and forth to cut the pizza, causing the odd shapes.

Fetterman was never a progressive or leftist. Willing to sell populism to get elected? Definitely. But always not a great guy.

Mamdani looks like he’s solid all the way through

Now you killed it while lurching forward! Exciting!

While learning, don’t touch the gas. Learn how to take the car out of neutral and into first using only the clutch. Then the whole process makes a lot more sense for when you need to do it faster.

Here’s the real issue with the show. Any change they made replaced good writing with stale or outright hurtful tropes (they made up a character just so they could fridge her in the first episode).
