We need another FDR.

As a rule, files never get deleted… They get over written. So it depends on whether that process has happened to any loose images.

It’s great that the two characters discuss this topic, I think it’s in the multi-part TNG episode where Ambassador Spock is creating a dissident movement on Romulus.

The Official title of Taiwan is The Republic of China.

They still allowed the KMT (aka The Chinese Nationalist Party), to participate in their Democracy even though it ran the country as an anti-democracy Authoritarian state for 40 years.

Taiwan and China do a lot of trade together, a war would be difficult for both of them.

Yeah, but Data is actually intelligent and brilliant. ChatGPT is often just giving best averaged answers based on what’s most likely - and still hallucinates even in the latest version.

I haven’t used it, but it happens even in the demo they showed.

Technically he’s a Spock stand in: hyper logical but not quite getting humanity.

This characteristic… In fact lots of characteristics get shared and mix and matched across DS9, TNG, and Voyager.

In Voyager Seven of Nine and The Doctor are the “not quite understanding humanity” characters. In DS9, it’s Odo.

Ideally newer Trek would do this too, but it might also want to have:

A quirky or modded engineer: LaForge, O’Brien, Scotty, Be’lana.

A superior strength character: Spock, Data, Odo, Worf, Seven of Nine, Tuvok.

…and maybe a couple of psychic characters, Spock, Kes, Tuvok, Seven of Nine, Benjamin.

You’ll probably also need some mentally brilliant characters, a Klingon, and someone who doesn’t fit in due to a negative background and is jaded about it.

…a brilliant doctor helps too.

These characteristics are needed so you can write certain storyline types and stand alone episodes.

Why does shitting your pants seem such an American phenomena? I’ve seen or heard about this activity through reddit a couple of times, and also on “people of walmart”.

Is it a dietary thing? A cultural thing? is it just because most media is American? What’s the deal America?

I failed maths, but I’m great at logic, which I consider to be the more important proficiency for programming.

Unfortunately the technology will also be used for creating new weapons of war.

Whilst members of the Weaver family were illegally killed by the government at Ruby Ridge, what’s less known is that Randy Weaver was hanging out with people from the Aryan Nation movement, and a believer in the Posse Comitatus theory of law.

It was White Nationalists that later erased these facts to promote the Weaver’s story as they (rightly) believed it would inspire others into their life style.

Timothy McVeigh cited the story as one of the reasons for his bombing of a federal government building and its daycare centre.

The Rubber Plantations were run as corporate states, and 10 - 15 million people were killed. One of the biggest mass murders in the history of Colonial Capitalism.

Roughly equal to the numbers caused by the British East India company when they caused various famines in Bengal and India by exporting all their grain.

Confused gay fascist who is more than likely a white nationalist, Peter Thiel.

Trump was having unrecorded meetings Putin and his staff regularly with no other Americans or white house staff present, only a Russian interpreter.

Some of the times when there was an official American interpreter, Trump would confiscate any notes or records of what was said

Trump was no doubt sharing documents with Russia.

Sorry for the Reddit link, but the post talking about this is:

For starters, Liberals are less violent, desire stability and an uplifting progression in social values, and tend to be fairly comfortable in themselves.

Other than that - when Liberals go far enough left, they become Socialists, and start to hate Liberals for their Capitalist elements and “economic liberalism”/neoliberalism.

When conservatives go far right, they turn into fascist conservatives… Conservatives, just more staunch, violent, and unreasonable.

Welcome to the 1800s.

Is it almost like decades of choosing ratchet theory and not pushing hard left when you have the opportunities has actual consequences?

Horrible time to realise this.

Imagine how many MAGA people wouldn’t be paying attention to politics if weed was legal for recreational use nation wide, or if trans politics had have been introduced in an earlier period, or if billionaires like Musk and Murdoch weren’t always sided with and given corporate welfare.

Now is a terrible time to learn this lesson, literally the worst.

It’s because the male ones believe their courses have informed them, and turned them into “knowledge experts” who know better than you. Where as female case managers believe their courses have made them better at connecting people to their resources and practices.

In short, whether conscious or not, the courses they do have different gendered outlooks and effects of participants.

One group becomes entitled ro superiority, and the others becomes a more connected listener.

But it might also be because men lack the lived experience most compatible with your own, and it’s possible they’re better at providing for male clients.

…but really I think women are just likely better at the job, and more likely to be sensitive to the needs of others in a more consistent and accurate manner.

It’s not global. Go get the Wikipedia page of “homelessness by country”. It’s not global. It’s not the case in Finland or Vietnam for instance.

The heritage Foundation’s 2025 plan doesn’t just go away if Trump loses the election. The Republican party just sit on it, and sit on it, and sit on it, until they are elected again… And they will be elected again.

So the establishment left needs to show some level of radical action to even “return” to centrist popularity.

The President pulling rank on The DEA isn’t illegal, and would ensure a full term where the electoral process could be reviewed and further secured, and an a number of Supreme Court justices could be impeached under a stronger set of anti-corruption laws instituted by a democratic effort.

Because sometimes corrective radicalism is called for and warranted… Like when someone almost does a coup.
