Happy to help you out. Generated this document just for you. The links work. Prompts also work when one is a little soused, btw. docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Thanks. I invented it just today.
Why don't you seek out the data to back your belief or disconfirm it? Ob. book reference: Karl Popper, CONJECTURES AND REFUTATIONS.

It's not that there's no connection between obesity and addiction. But people can stop using addictive drugs but can't stop eating food. Plus, depriving yourself of food to lose weight causes you to gain weight over the long run. Ob. book reference: DIET, DRUGS, AND DOPAMINE, Dr. David Kessler
It's important to recognize that obesity is disease--it is fundamentally a physical disorder. In spite of this, the notion that it represents a moral failure has been half-baked into our culture.
Feels like the DUMB AND DUMBER remake of Vietnam.
I'm going to wildly guess that your review of the finale of STARFLEET ACADEMY featured an absurdly high number of ups. If so, I'm right there with you. (I haven't had a chance to look yet--watched the episode itself this morning.)
Pro Tip: if you work in the executive branch as a department head, or if you work for the White House in any role, buy the full range of Florsheim shoes in all styles and colors--but in your size--before the President gifts you a pair. (Florsheim has not compensated me for this message.)
Well, you're my favorite witch.
My favorite comic-book villain was the Statistician--he always reverted to the mean.
As far as I can tell from their prose (such as it is), the writers at Giant Freakin Robot behave like escapees from a penile colony.
It's as if they'd never seen "The Menagerie."

I'm grateful, having been a Star Trek geek for 60 years, to be able to say that I don't know anyone in the Trek fan community who'd take "Giant Freakin Robot" up on this job opportunity. www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/43...
And from County Wexford too. There are some Wexford folks here in Silver Spring, MD, who run an Irish(-themed) bar here called McGinty's. Back when I drank a lot more, I spent more time there.
Wait, you're the Irish Trek fan whose videos I watch!
McGinley isn't married to (the excellent) Christa Miller.
I'm embarrassed to say I used AirPods (the Pro version) for this. Which led to blockage in one ear. DON'T DO WHAT I DID--BUY HEADPHONES.
For a while, the only thing I knew about Ted McGinley is that he is a fine comic actor who often has been cast in TV shows when they are nearing the end of their runs. What I know now is that McGinley is a delight, and that I do learn comedy by watching him act. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/09/a...
WANT!
That article is a must-read!
That seems like a reasonable choice. Sadly, IRL we are only in Season Two of the Evil People Winning.
Not funny.
What?
Okay, so this is a non-sequitur, then. My tolerance for those is low.
Don't be silly.
Have you noticed that every political leader who presents himself as Superman turns into Homelander?
Paramount has a monopoly on Star Trek content, but since they’ve made my staple TV comfort food available in a one-stop shop, it’s a monopoly I’d be hesitant to break up.
Honestly, I have to insist that my newly resurgent Star Trek hobby (I now collect model starships) is way better for me in these dark times than binge drinking was. Dreaming of a better future more often now.
