  • It's because world governments and companies spent a shit load of time and money changing things so it didn't become an issue. People point to it as a load of fuss over nothing, the only reason for that was that action was actually taken.

  • Not really a good analogy, because the age at which you can drink is based on where you are, not in where you were born etc. An American 18 year old could go to Canada or well pretty much anywhere else in the world and they can get as drunk as they like.

  • Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.

  • The thing you have to remember is Jesse is a methhead

  • Apart from Tom Paris repeatedly being an idiot, that's a constant

    Maybe the first comment was little dismissive, after that it was nice to have a r/daystruminstitute type conversation.

  • All part of the plan. Two terms of parliament with labour fixing everything and the Tories on the sidelines braying about how bad of a job they're doing. Then just as things are starting to turn around the cycle resets and the Tories are back for another 15 years.

  • All of the traits you've described also very much fit PTSD as well.

    To me taking a Watsonian approach to the character we she a woman who was forcibly taken by the Borg and assimilated at a very young age, then years later ripped away from that as well. That's two extremely traumatic events( that we know of). Then following on we see the character years later at a point where she has somewhat worked though those traumas.

    A Doyalist reading we can say it was the 90s and discussions around neuro-divergency and more general mental health were far less common in media. So we're probably both over reading things.

  • Yes because that's exactly what I said.

    She's closer to a feral child than ASD. I also don't feel that she has spectrum traits when we meet her again in Picard.

  • Admirals Cornwell and Vance, are we nothing to you?

  • I don't see Seven as ASD coded. She has levels of trauma that can sometimes be mistaken as ASD and has lived outside of regular human society for much of her life.

  • X for doubt.

    There's no way someone survives something as big as a butt plug moving from their arse to their chest at near the speed of sound. You might as well put their internal organs though a juicer and see if they survive.

  • He's such a good character in the show. Such a rubbish character in the books.

  • It's one of those good children's shows that's been written with the understanding that parents will watch with their kids.

  • Janeway got her genocide and murdering done when she was a captain I guess.

  • Couple of stand alone books:

    The Paper Menagerie (and other stories)

    The Ocean at the End of the Lane

    Stardust

    Johnathan Strange and Mr Norel


    Couple of series:

    Discworld (start with guards guards and follow a reading order guide)

    The Culture

    Malazan Book of the Fallen (be warned this is big and complex, but my fucking god is it rewarding. Especially on a second read through)

    Children of Time

    Final Architecture

  • I'm guessing someone persuaded him to take his meds.

  • True. I and I understand pointing out the Tories as they're in power. However by not pointing out that Labour are just as bad we run the risk of fooling ourselves that these kinds of infringements to our civil rights will go away if we get the Tories out.

  • Soulseek is my past, present and future.
