Oh… so in this case Mexico waited a bit long. Remember Operation Fast and Furious? I know this more about the manufacturers but should the licensed dealers be liable too?

Jokes on the leeches. I probably have something toxic I was exposed to as a kid in that blood.

I’m pretty sure he’s made comments that suggest he would try to eliminate elections.

Keep it up and it will be the leg too.

I met Seán at STLV last year (I known I encountered Ellie but wasn’t aware till after the con) and was nice. There were people who asked for photos with him, which he seemed gracious to take. Me personally, I didn’t want to ask him because it looked like he was there with his partner.

I think these type of discussions came about shortly after season 1 of Picard.

This came straight from someone on Star Trek: The Cruise.

EDIT: I need to add that the last date of the Cruise for 2025 is March 2, so unless you where there, no one else would have heard.

I couldn’t watch it all. I felt embarrassed. What the fuck does Russian interference in a U.S. election have to do with Russia trying to take over Ukraine?

Clearly Trump believes he has some friendship with Putin that would influence this whole conflict.

So the views on Vulcan society, were skewed by Spock? Are you saying his comments should be interpreted as having bias?

Why?

Under this rhetoric they sweep up even the pious Jewish.

Again, there is a different between hatred for the Jewish people and hate/dislike for the Israeli government and/or military. If you do not believe this, you are part of the problem.

As a U.S. citizen: fuck the U.S.

So realistically we never ended the Cold War.

Anyone who thinks Israel is still a state founded on the genocide of the Jewish race today is sadly mistaken. It is now a state built on seeking to dominate religious minorities founded on the collective unity of other states that handed over historically contested land that others had been living on.

So basically, let Russia do whatever they want and have no input from Ukraine.

I forgot it.

The world needs to take a good hard look at Israel and realize they are repeating history.

I struggle to remember which series it was exactly (obviously prior to 2004). This is a memory I have etched in. My World History teacher in 10th grade gave an overview of the entire year’s curriculum on the first day. She had the class watch a large portion of what I believe was the last episode of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (possibly it was Victory Gundam; I only watched Fighter G Gundam). By the end she made it very clear that history repeats. That was the theme of her curriculum for the whole school year.

Right now we are seeing history repeat. This time it is the formerly oppressed committing the crimes against humanity and being aided by the rest of the globe. What did Palestine ever do to Israel except seek statehood? Why can’t we leave them alone?

On an unrelated note, that teacher was awesome. I remember the week leading into the lesson on World War I, they staged incidents where select students would pretend to misbehave and not be punished in any way by the teacher. These were elaborate scenes of shouting. The lesson you might ask? Secret alliances.

The only story we have set in the 20th or 21th century are “Return to Tomorrow”, “Future’s End”, “Future’s End, Part II”, “Carpenter Street”, “Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow”, PIC season 2, and First Contact. If there are more, they escape me. These stories are all set on Earth. My best assumption would be that after the 21st century is when automobiles got phased out of society. There isn’t really a good reason to show roads when cars aren’t a necessity for travel.

However for whatever reason, as Mariner points out, we still have bridges.
