D Trump raped his daughter, no doubt in my mind

Somewhere there a video of her showing her childhood room to some sort of show. There's a moment where she looks at her old bed and she gets a thousand yard stare for a few seconds before coming back to the here and now.

The entire family is terrible, including her. What happened to her as a kid is also terrible

Sending love your way. Your situation sucks, and no one should have to endure that kind of trauma. I appreciate that you prioritized your baby's needs over your own, it's never an easy decision, even if it's the right one

But it's not communist. There are parallels, of course. It is, technically, classless, stateless, and moneyless. But there is still a Central government. There is still private ownership. Picard's family owns land. They're not given land by the community. There's no community control of resources because any resources a person may want are readily available to all.

It is a post-scarcity^1 quasi-socialist^2 utopian^3 representative parliamentary democracy^4.

  1. There is no need for money, bartering, or employment. Replicators and energy are abundant and can fill any physical need.
  2. There is no economy for the collective community to own, but social equity is valued and maintained
  3. There is no poverty, war, exploitation, or abuse of power. All people live in peace, equality, and self-fulfillment
  4. There is a world government that has elected members of parliament, and that government represents the inhabitants of Earth and their interests within the United Federation of Planets, a federal representative republic.

I spent way too much time on this. I'm gonna go play with my trains

Yuck, AI.

The sentiment stands. Women especially are shamed for their food choices, usually unfairly

I can't watch The Office.

My empathy makes me feel super uncomfortable watching people do socially mean or cringe things. I enjoyed most of Parks and Rec, but I didn't like the way they treated Garry, and almost stopped watching because of that running gag.

Oddly enough, I devoured The Bear. It's not high anxiety or intensity that turns me off, it's the banal meanness that some express that I can't stand. The Bear is intense, but the characters feel genuine and honest

The Office
Napoleon Dynamite
Grease
Reservoir Dogs
Big Bang Theory (or any popular laugh-track sitcom post 2000)

Chicago, Rent, and Cats
Harry Potter (even before JKR went full terf, probably just a generational thing, honestly)
Taylor Swift (again, nothing personal, just not my jam)
Sideways, Marriage Story, Whiplash (intense interpersonal drama, particularly dealing with infidelity or power disparity)

Think of how stupid the average person is, and then realize their vote counts the same as yours

George Carlin, probably

All jokes aside, I'm seriously impressed that the roof structure maintained it's integrity and didn't just shred to pieces in the explosion

Rogue.

No matter what my intentions, I always wind up being a stealth archer. May as well own it

Not that I could just play a PC, forever GM 😭

I'm guessing this is a representation of the biblical account of Jael and Sisera.

Honestly, it's an uncharacteristically feminist story of a woman (Deborah) prophet and Judge (older person viewed as a respected authority), who summons a man (Barak) and tells him he will go and war against the occupiers/oppressors of the land. When Barak asks for Deborah to go with him, she tells him the victory will go to a woman. Once the enemy is routed, the chief of the occupying army (Sisera) flees to the home of a neutral party (Heber), who happens to not be in the home. Heber's wife (Jael) recognizes the general, claims to give him sanctuary, drugs him, and kills him by driving a tent pin through his skull via the temple.

NGL, kinda metal

I was going to make a joke about misspelling "patsy" as investor, but damn you're right.
