fair enough
personally, I think DS9 used the Mirror Universe well. As you say, it's enjoyable for the writers. I also think the cast had a lot of fun with them - cut loose and go full camp.
Staying in the mirror universe is what kills me. I liked the first half of STD's season 1 well enough. But after revealing that Lorka was from the mirror universe and then spending the rest of the season there? That's not fun at all. Just boring.
There's something to be said for a wild source of meat.
Migratory herds disperse seeds and fertilize soil with their manure, while cutting back on overgrowth without overgrazing.
I don't know about weaponizing anything, but I do know the only energy positive fusion reaction was done by making a little pellet of hydrogen, carefully aligning a room full of lasers, and then zapping it into helium. Each time they did it, someone had to walk into the chamber to put in the pellet, and they'd have to spend a few hours aligning the lasers again.
You get more energy out than you put in, but it just doesn't scale.
California had a prop to end prison labor. They rejected it.
don't you guys have better consumer protections?
eh, kinda think strapping a monitor to your face just isn't the future movies seem to think it should be
you know they developed the iPod touch in secrete because they feared that if Steve saw the ugly prototype, he'd shitcan the project?
OK, but trying would have let them know where the weak links are, where to put pressure in the future. Same goes for Dobbs. Even if they failed to secure a federal right to abortion in the legislature, having the voting record would have been a powerful tool to use against DINOs -- "Shape up, or loose your funding"
That they never even tried means Democrats are just not interested in strategically working towards success.
The people who are getting real mad over Republican voters don't really care that Rs and Ds have the same foreign policy. The frontier of empire is coming home, but acknowledging that would mean acknowledging we export suffering.
Personally I’d rather save 20 dollars on my taxes
woah, bub, inflation is bad but it's not that bad. A fountain would come out to... like maybe a dime at most split between taxpayers. Depending on what budget it's coming out of, like if it were a federal park, probably less than a full penny.
GLaDOS would read that seduction is a highly successful tactic for getting what you want, attempt it for all of 0.68 seconds, before declaring it a mistake and switching on the neurotoxin.
this comment makes me wish for a Carrington Event in the 21st century
