I am concerned that most users won’t understand that either

I know it is one of those odd american pizzas but this looks like tomato soup in a bread bowl. Or perhaps some sort of not sweet pie

Do a daily transporter sweep for dead organic material all over the ship to purge all those skin cells and hairs and other leftovers of our existing. No more vac

You may want to switch your client then. I can recommend voyager, it is based on Apollo for reddit. Have yet to see an actual ad (discounting actual posts by OF sellers and the occasional LLM wall of text with a link)

Why?

I highly doubt that. It’s a cultural thing, not a numbers issue.

That controversial Biden quote is essentially correct though.

If a black person votes for republicans they are actively voting not only against their own interests but also for blatant racist fascism. Doesn’t matter if they don’t like what the not racists have to offer otherwise.

Because your mega fucked binary political system doesn’t allow for a third option they can only choose between the status quo with possibly minor improvements, or making it infinitely worse.

I interpreted that as her referring to the pretense that the beards of the guys is anything but vanity, who at first try to swing words like proud tradition and sign of masculinity as justification. IIRC she even says something like “there’s nothing wrong with it I just want you to admit it”.

But yeah I guess we are arguing semantics at this point because we both seem to agree on that a bit of vanity is completely fine and normal.

Both are an affectation. But that’s nothing bad, we do so many things for appearances, it’s pretty normal. I have a pretty big beard myself, and for no reason except that it accentuates my face very well.

Why would it?

Or, why would you think that?

In this context, it means that a beard is a purely aesthetic choice that men cultivate for no reason but their vanity, like women who wear makeup.

No worries, I get heated up over my interests too. And you are correct that the learning curve is steep, but that’s pretty much all paradox games. Appealing to a certain niche of history or sci fi nerd who love controlling every single detail.

If you have some questions about stellaris feel free to hit me up, I have over 4k hours logged in the game and written several mods for it.

So what you are saying is that it is a simplified (more polite than dumbed down) version of stellaris?

No slight intended of course, enjoy whatever you prefer

The game is basically a dumbed down version of stellaris with TNG flavor.

Nothing wrong with that, but having played the original it is very unappealing.

Does Odo actually qualify for this? He can feel and comprehend and interpret emotions just fine, he is just deadly shy and insecure behind his stoic enforcer facade.

The doctor doesn’t fit either, just because he is modeled after an egomaniac asshole does not mean he is autistic.

Just looked them up, that sounds about right. Maybe a bit less weird because they just want the government to leave them alone whereas the ours are often more hostile towards it.

Don’t discount them. The fringe right is, as everywhere else on the world, on the rise here in Germany.

Think qanon levels of delusional, and prone to antidemocratic extremism. The core belief of being a Reichsbürger is that the modern German state is an imperialist construct imposed by the western winners of ww2, and has thus no legitimacy. They consider themselves citizens (Bürger) of the previous german Reich.

Think of the January insurrection attempt in the u.s., those people weren’t taken seriously before either. Until they marched on the government, one of them prominently wearing a self made shaman outfit.
