Slash fic as it originated in modern fan culture was Kirk/Spock and spread through zines written by women in the 60s.

Also I’ve been watching TNG for the first time lately (late to trek) and I honestly don’t understand how conservatives could really enjoy the best episodes. Like I watched The Drumhead (s4e21) last night and it was aggressively unsubtlely anti conservative. Like honestly I regret not keeping notes from the start of this watch through to have good episodes to recommend to people. First Contact (s4e14) had the villain literally be a conservative trying to preserve his society’s way of life against the progress it would have to deal with if it encountered aliens.

“The internet used to talk all the tike about how they love their personal fbi agents”

There are a lot of things she does but that aint one of them

Oh that explains why my wife is gay

Oh he’s losing marbles I didn’t think he had

Also my wife asked for his definition of antichrist, considering that the term “antikristos” only comes in the epistles and there’s 3 beasts in revalations: the beast of the heavens (the dragon), the beast of the sea (“the beast”), and the beast of the earth (the false prophet).

Even the government is bigger in Texas

Ope, demonyms can be difficult sometimes lol

Idk why they think that the Czech Republic has power over the Tongolese government. .to is the internet version of tongolese soil. Czech courts don’t have power over foreign flags of convenience

Also love the complaint that tongo isn’t following European privacy laws

That one pisses me off so much. We could have had a high speed rail with actual throughput instead of claims of something better before nothing

Fair warning it will also continue yellowing and getting more and more brittle if you do nothing. Plastic doesn’t biodegrade, but it does undergo aging in a way that makes it less durable than traditional materials. Wood can be kept from biodegrading, metal can be kept from corroding, but aging plastic just gets more and more brittle and just really wants to become microplastics

There’s a lot I love about the DS but it suffered immensely from the gimmick problem. Games that had no business being touch focused were forced into it. Zelda was probably the worst example, but the metroid game that used it for an fps was also up there.

I love the DS for my nostalgia of it, but any replaying of it is as uncomfortable as the wii

The corporations decided that anti trust laws were bad so they each did their part to erode support and enforcement of them. Then bit by bit they eventually became only laws on the books not in enforcement

Yeah it’s like you intend on keeping those organs as long as you can instead of putting yourself and others at risk to ensure others get your organs asap

What I’m hearing is you’re not really an organ donor, you just have a virtue signal on your driver’s license

Yeah but the study says that helmet is keeping you from actually donating

I for one believe we’re capable of building trains

Exactly. “No because you’re an idiot” is ad hominem, but “no because x, and you’re an idiot for thinking that” is valid albeit rude

If I started talking like that they’d put me away

Also, we have mutually assured destruction. This whole thing is highly unlikely to be needed

Markets don’t make something capitalist but when markets drive consumption rather than consumption driving markets that’s a sign that capital is gaining power over social welfare. Ad proliferation should be seen as a warning sign towards the social ecosystem.

But you are correct if those ads are promoting socially beneficial choices they may not be a sign of capitalism. Ads that promote healthy choices or taking public transit over driving have their places in socialist societies. I just doubt that they’re the whole of what’s being advertised in exchange for toilet paper. I suspect companies are finding their way in.

And if the companies were workers cooperatives that would be a different problem but Dengist reforms ensured capitalist participation in the Chinese market so I’d believe it if I saw it but I’m not assuming it’s only coops advertising
