It does seem to be primarily on an arranged marriage system, but there are plenty of exceptions. Pairings that don't come together for some reason, partners that die either due to age or accident, etc.
Meditation had been shown to be less than effective (Tuvok and Vorik both tried and failed to use meditation to get through their Pon Farrs).
It seems that, in universe, something about Vulcan physiology also prevents medication from being particularly effective as well (also failed for both Tuvok and Vorik).
Since I haven't seen it mentioned yet, I've been using Liftoff for a while now, and I've found it to be a fairly good experience. My main annoyance is that, if I open a notification of a reply to a comment, the process to see the original context for the reply is...convoluted, to say the least. Other than that, great app.
No, but there's not as many of them as you might think. TX is gerrymandered to hell, voter suppression abounds, and so many people don't think beyond the R it's astounding. The Republicans have created an environment where they almost can't help but stay in power. If everyone eligible to vote in TX was able to do so properly, the state would look a lot more purple.

"Comics are for kids" is an incredibly narrow view of the comic book world. They've never been exclusively for kids, not even the big superhero comics. Many have diverse themes, thoughtful critiques of society, and impressively deep characters.
It's not about the line itself, but more the sentiment behind it. The fact that the Emperor is just suddenly back without any buildup or hinting in the previous two movies is the problem.
See, that's part of what we're afraid of, and indeed has already happened. Women who simply miscarried could be assumed to have purposely aborted somehow.
That's very strange, I've looked at a few recipes and never seen alcohol as an ingredient. It usually is just coffee with some spices, usually including cinnamon.
I know it's technically different, but in both cases you have a person who has lived in the US for most of their life, and is for all intents and purposes an American, but who is not, due to a technicality, a citizen. It is extremely similar.
No, he wasn't "pretending" to be a citizen, he was a citizen. They've just now decided his citizenship was granted in error, and so he now is no longer a citizen.
No, he was a US citizen at the time. They've revoked his citizenship now because they said it shouldn't have been granted, but that doesn't mean he wasn't ever a citizen. It means he was before, but is not now.
Not that rare, this is a very similar situation to what the DREAM Act was trying to resolve. As of last year, there were more than 500,000 people who qualified.
...have you been paying attention? They've already been fucking with private enterprise. All that matters to them is the culture war. They've completely dropped the pretense that they're about business.
May I ask what country? Yes, the person who needs the placard applies for it, but in most places that can go on whatever car they ride in, so long as they're actually in the car.
