The theme did throw me at first but I feel like the show didn't fully come into its own until seasons 3-4. The season 3 Xindi arc has aged beautifully. And the Vulcan arc where the high command is abolished was also very good.

Also in the mirror episodes Hoshi in the crop top made me feel things.

1. Trump is legacy shopping and "fixing" Cuba/Iran/whatever fits the bill. 2. He has yet to face a single actual consequence for any of this military adventurism so for him there's really no reason not to.

Who is we? Plenty of people support this.

Context: US political polarization is too severe to be contained. It's too severe for non-partisan organizations and institutions to truly exist. These aren't political differences competing in the marketplace of ideas. It's opposing cultures that are more invested in their side winning than in the system that keeps all of this mostly non-violent (democracy).

In this case: Populations shift, maps have to be periodically redrawn by people. Those people will wield political power whether they want to or not, so controlling who gets that power and what they do with it is a natural incentive.

Many countries do these maps in a mostly non-partisan way, but that is only possible when the majority of people believe the system of democracy to be more important than any one (potentially bad) outcome. That is simply not the case in the US. The power to redraw maps must exist and at the level of political polarization that exists in the US, that power will ultimately be corrupted for partisan ends.

If it were a man fucking 1000 girls in a day, we'd all celebrate.

This statement makes me doubt that you know any actual human people irl.

The end of the second paragraph literally makes no logical sense but it's not like anyone is supposed to red all this shit anyways.

The capacity for introspection and change is an important and valuable quality, but that's not what intelligence means.

I would wager you have more of an idea of what a state of matter is than biologists do of what a species is. Humans like to put things into neat boxes but nature is under no deal obligation to cooperate.

Chinese government sanctioned groups can and will still access the broader internet.

They absolutely do. These people are doing what their voters put them there to do. This is what America is.

When I first learned of this I found it remarkable that experts figured out what the likely cause was at all. I guess infectious disease experts have to be trained to recognize patterns of illness caused by radioactive material? Because primarily they would be looking for biological stuff.

It's also sidestepping Euthyphro's dilemma by just not caring about how arbitrary divine command theory makes morality.

business standpoiny soley focusing on exploiting labor it was actually really great

Solely focussing on exploiting labour was not actually good for business. It prevented industrialization of the south which resulted in the north being richer and more powerful when the war broke out.
