I remember having this conversation with my mom when I was young and saying something like, “Well that’s great then, this is an easy win. Scientists should be able to examine them and confirm the change and then we know what the Bible is telling us is true,” and she replied that that’s not how faith works. And I was dumbfounded and like, “But… it would be so easy…”
And that lesson of how willfully choosing ignorance is somehow something to be valued was a key turning point in my waking up to the bullshit of religion. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

A friend of mine was complaining about the same thing back on Season 1, but I asked him if it had been a hetero couple shown brushing their teeth together or having a smooch would he have minded and he admitted probably not. We chalked it up to just not being used to seeing that with a gay couple on tv.
Just a thought.
Precisely, the grammar of cinema is not 1:1 with real life.
That said, I don’t mind making light of it for meme chuckles.
Are you sure it’s not just for the upcoming Voyager documentary? Kind of like how they did a few select scenes of DS9 for What We Left Behind?
For those that don’t know, this is here because Robert Picardo was the voice of Johnny Cab in Total Recall. This is a choice deep cut! 🤌

This of the kind of accurate pedantry I can get behind.
The older I get, the more I appreciate Neelix.

I just spun up Wallabag on my server the other day to replace Omnivore. Im going to take a look at this, but does anyone have experience or thoughts on how this compares? I’m not so deep into it yet that I couldn’t switch to Linkwarden if it’s better.
