It really seems like he doesn't understand what a "defense alliance" is meant to accomplish.

That was my 1st thought. "Let the owners take responsibility for them" sounds an awful lot like indentured servitude. If at any point, their boss could decide to simply rescind that protection and have them deported, then they're basically trapped.

Well, yeah. Saying anything contrary to Israel's declared narrative, would cost them all that AIPAC money...and AIPAC would most likely fund a primary challenger to run against them.

Just look at what happened to Jamaal Bowman and Cori Bush.

Yeah, but in "Arena" there was nothing about using humans as incubators / hosts. That's the part they added in, to make them more "monster-like". Without that, their motivation is not much different than our own. With that, they are much more terrifying and alien.

To be fair, the old Gorn rationale for attacking the colony was, "You're in our territory, and we assumed you had hostile intent"...while the SNW rationale is, "We lay eggs in your body, so our young have something to eat when they hatch".

That's a significant difference in character motivation.

It's only weird until you realize they aren't talking about your "personal" security. They couldn't care less about you.

Do these come with carbide tips?

"The Arena" is originally the first meeting between the Federation and the Gorn, with Kirk and the Gorn captain fighting one-on-one.

But, in SNW, the Gorn have already been encountered, although little is known about them yet, due to the fact that they leave no survivors and seem to make no effort to communicate.

The recon is to the timeline and initial encounter with the species, as well as adding in a lot of new details that were never part of the original concept.

Exactly. Just like they promised ten years ago, and then never delivered. Now we're moving in the opposite direction.

Fuck the Liberals. We gave them a win, and the first thing they do is fuck us over. Again.

Is this just to lower the property value? I thought Trump understood things about real estate.

And he was wrong,every single time.

Massive tax cuts for the rich, combined with massive domestic spending increases. I wonder what that will do?

Sounds like somebody's got toxoplasmosis.

Can we just not?

Then I hope the rest of the world does something about it.

A flashlight still lights up the whole room, even if it's just pointed at one wall. It's not like half the room is totally dark, while the other half is totally bright.

Orbital habitats with rotational gravity.

Don't forget that it'd be nighttime after a certain distance, because light can only travel so far distance before it disappears.

Ok. So, what does the law say about trying to legally annul a marriage based on fraud? Because I would assume this is a pretty rare case, that doesn't have a lot of case-law to fall back on.

Lol! This is such a self-own.
