I recommend checking out Counter Social. Nice little community, no ads, not being a dickhead is right there in the TOS. counter.social

I imagine she would not be issued whatever credentials she needs to access the building as a member, and would be treated as a member of the public. She wouldn't have an office to use.

Might make good theater.

"This language incites violence and terrorism."

Yeah, but you were going to do all of that anyway.

Failing that, how many Americans taking it will abandon all safe sex practices, paving the way for the next outbreak (at the minimum). Then again, how many are practicing safe sex now?

Almost as bad as when I forget to lift my feet at the end and it eats me.

To keep unsupervised kids out of the house. In 1980, parents surrendered.

Similarly, when Jews eat pork in a Chinese restaurant, God looks the other way.

I've been doing my level best to keep my money from them for years. Don't know how I can do better, but I'll try.

You would be more than welcome on Counter Social. We're a small but welcoming community, and this sort of thing doesn't happen much. counter.social

The old Can of Worms in Rochester, NY. It has been genuinely improved, and I can't readily find a road map of the old configuration, but this gets the point across.

Toddlers are excellent at headcanon. Mine is that this all transpires in a holodeck, and/or is a holoprogram for 24th century toddlers.

That's fine. Between being a toddler, babysitting my little sister and raising my son, I got plenty of toddler TV. The trailer gave me Pingu flashbacks.

I have watched, and enjoyed to varying degrees, every episode of every series in franchise history. That ends today.

This raises questions which I am not expecting you to answer, but which must be asked.

How does that work? Is it fully encoded in DNA, or is there and environmental mechanism as well? How did it get so precise? How were the intermediate forms leading to it an evolutionary advantage?

An imagine of DC comic book superheroes Blue Beetle (Ted Kord version) and Booster Gold. The both have big smiles on their faces, and Booster is pointing toward the fourth wall. The ground they are standing on is covered in text, reading "Bwa ha-ha-ha-ha-ha," etc.

I imagine he still does. He now has a much more plausible, if still wildly unlikely, path to achieving that end.

Whether it's by election or more direct means, the next succession is going to be wild.

Deal, provided people continue not to talk about Gen-X.

I'm holding out hope that the scene which was previewed (the psuedo-Vulcans dissing Spock) was a dream sequence. I doubt it, but it doesn't make sense otherwise.

I feel seen... or, is that exposed?

Oh, well. At least there are solo car rides.
