It's not too late to abort Ken Paxton.

Daddy didn't give affection, and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear.

Untreated mental illness supplemented by fame-induced yes-men syndrome.

What he needs is a good slap and a kick to the groin.

Dax would beat the ass of anyone putting dumbass words like that in her mouth.

Also: this console doesn't have enough rocks inside of it. And you call that a ceiling? I don't see a single loose girder in there!

What do you want to bet that the code for "female students" is at least three times as long and contains the words "leg skin"?

Counterpoint: Vader was not a potted plant.

He's got SOOO many plates spinning! He's very busy being the driver of the entire plot of a great big saga. There's a lot on his mind.

What have you done today, Deanna? Eating a fudge sundae doesn't count.

To step out of the bit for a moment, when people criticize Troi, they're really criticizing the writing. This character is there to look good and rarely gets anything meaningful to do, and when she does, it's almost always redundant or superfluous to the situation. Marina Sirtis deserved so much better.

Sisko/Benny theory (lemmings.world)
submitted 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) by CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world to c/startrek@startrek.website

So we learn at the end that Sisko's birth was engineered by the Prophets, right? That he was always destined to be the Emissary because that's how it had to be, from the nonlinear perspective of the Prophets.

So what if they based him on a man from Earth centuries before (perhaps one of his father's ancestors)? He does say at one point that maybe God is trying to tell him to quit writing and go into the restaurant business, betraying a love for cooking, which maybe he passed on to his children - and maybe he passed this on to his descendants, one of whom moved to New Orleans and opened a Creole kitchen, which would stay in the family for many generations...

They chose this man because by some quirk he had genuine future-sight and saw forward into the life of Sisko because of their connection established by the Prophets - creating a self-sustaining loop.

Now of course that doesn't explain why all of the people in Benny's life are so similar to Sisko's people (or is it the other way around?), but maybe there's something there about celestial-temporal archetypes, or Benny is projecting those faces and personalities onto his coworkers because of his strange and exceptional mind.

Never did like that guy. He seemed like a creep from the start, and I didn't ever find him funny.

Groomers hate sex ed, because it eliminates the ignorance they need to exploit in order to lure in their victims.

If kids don't know they're being abused, they can't tell on their abusers. Gotta ask why the right wing is so vehemently against empowering children.

I have always had an Android phone, while my wife has had iPhones. Whenever one of the kids got old enough to get their own phone, they inherited hers and gave her an excuse to get a new iPhone. (Meanwhile I just traded mine in.)

The unintentional result is that she can never find a charging cable or block for her phone because the kids keep taking them (and inevitably somehow breaking them), while I have a surplus of ways to charge my own. And also the kids' batteries are always low, because they can't figure out how to ration screen use with an old-ass worn out battery.

So everyone else in the house is always squabbling about who took the charger, while I rarely see my phone dip below 50%. They hate it SO MUCH when I point this out. I swear I try not to smirk when I do.

Bringing up AOC every time Boebert shits the bed is unfair and degrading to AOC.

You have to actually have values to fail them.
