That’s amazing.

Then he runs out of quarters for laundromats and starts using ovens.

They didn’t go far enough. Anyone who treats guns like this around children should be nailed to a building and pecked to death by birds.

No joke, I think bringing back the Hirogen could be a lot of fun.

Do you trust our current governmental structures to manage something with that much potential for harm when it goes wrong? I sure don’t. Sure, it might go great for a long while, but then you get one far-right administration that wants to cut regulations.

It’s kind of a devil-you-know thing, isn’t it?

Like, we’ve seen on a limited scale what can happen when nuclear isn’t handled properly, and then we’ve also seen what kind of catastrophic messes the fossil fuel industry creates with our current fuel sources. It’s not a big leap of imagination to scale up Fukushima and Chernobyl to a global reach comparable to coal and oil.

Our corporations have shown they will cut every corner available - even when heavily regulated - and our governments have shown they are too incompetent to properly enforce the regulations they do out on the books. It shouldn’t be any surprise that people are reluctant to get behind nuclear. Anyone who isn’t is hideously naive.

Imagine telling a rape victim that her rapist is “living rent free in her head”. Phase that moronic cliche out of your vocabulary. It makes you sound like a dumbass.

That’s how a lot of marketing astroturfing works though.

You let people post things organically, then you signal boost the shit out of them, and nobody can claim it’s false or contrived, because OP really did just post a thing they like.

Yeah I think I’ll just light a match.

Automatic disadvantage on your next roll for rules lawyering the DM.

I enjoy this meme image. Updoot.

Yes.

Goddamn, my wife and I honeymooned there.

Well now you’re just making wild guesses.

If you can show me Roman furry artwork (for a friend who really wants to see it, of course), I’ll withdraw my whole line of comments.

Lol

But we’ve also never really seen the details of how a ship transitions from one captain and crew to a new one. This is an opportunity to depict how Starfleet ensures continuity of command and crew cohesion when something happens to one of their captains.

I like seeing that there’s a system of mentoring and intership collaboration in place so that when there’s a sudden shakeup in the crew roster it’s not an unforeseen calamity but just another eventually they all trained for. Presumably this is happening all across the fleet, and it could well be that Kirk is doing this with several other ships as well as part of his command track.

It only seems strange because we know he’s destined to take Pike’s chair. He doesn’t know that. He’s just learning and absorbing all he can about how different crews function.

Seems to be like a Starfleet mentoring program we just haven’t seen in action before. It makes sense to me that they’d want their rising stars to get some exposure to other established captains and develop relationships with other crews beyond their own. I like it.
