That’s fine. I am reminded of an old Vulcan expression: Only Nixon can go to China

Picard TNG: I allowed myself to be abducted by aliens, spent two days forced to defend myself with an alien against a monster, refused all offers to just go home, and dealt with his babbling about Tamak and Jiled at Tongra. All because I recognize that peace and corporation between species is much more important compared to my life. I understand that I am not god and I don’t make a decision who lives and dies. I have faith in the inherit goodness and rationality of sentient life so even if I don’t understand why they are doing something I know they have a good reason. I am an explorer and an ambassador of peace.

Picard Nemesis: I am going to drive around on a planet and if some alien, possibly just defending their home, growls at me I will shoot them with a gun. Then leave their corpse there making zero effort to understand why they even attacked me. I am a thug who only understands how to kill effectively. Send me into battle and I will make sure there are no survivors.

Sybok is Spock’s brother from another mother.

That is all.

It’s funny I was talking to the entire novel fanbase about a month ago and told him “well I dont hate all of Dune, the original David Lynch movie was excellent” and told me to get out. Haha

See I had to think about that for a good five seconds before I got the reference. Say “live long and prosper” and I get it in a tenth of the time.

It’s weird how the show just vanished. Even without all the sequels and prequels Star Wars would still have been endlessly referenced for decades after the 2nd movie. BSG is the cultural equivalent of a night of heavy drinking.

I remember binge watching it. I remember talking to people about it but nothing this past decade

Because you messed up your last season especially the ending

Keiko really came off as not a nice person in that scene.

Now you know what really happened to the Kazan.

The entire Dune novel fanbase is also pretty decent. I like hanging out with him.

Watch La Moustache with him.

guess the interesting part of this discovery is specifically that it’s frost since that is a unique form for the water to take especially there. Since we would expect it to sublimate pretty quickly.

If I am understanding the article. On Mars it’s backwards compared to earth. Earth it is higher you go the colder it is. So to get frost up that high means air currents containing cold water are rushing up to that spot.

Titan has oil and we have known for decades

I remember reading about this in a textbook back in uni. Might as well have been in the telegraph era

I mentally nicknamed them the twins. Two guys who worked together with their two drills. Each had a double sized DeWalt battery and another spare double sized. Last time I saw them was 2016. So yeah you got an acedotal backing you up.

Then it takes forever for them to go into place b

I have an item that costs me 40 to buy. I sell you the item for 200. I get a hundred now and a hundred when you get the item. If I fill the order now I get my 100. However if I wait a year I get an interest free loan on the 40 bucks. Maybe I push you off for 10 years. I not only get the 100 you owe me I also doubled that 40. If I am a big company I can pull this off, if I am a one man operation I can’t. Guess who gets hired for these projects. Hint it isnt Jeff’s gutter repair.

And that is just fixed priced contracts. You can imagine the horrorshow of open ended ones.

It is not playing, it is confused, thinking the ball is food.

I am just picturing some alien biologist studying us

“This human is operating a video game called a FPS. It may seem like he is playing but really his instincts for self defense and attack are just misfiring. It isn’t recreational it is just confusion”

I think it is. If you are going to make claims about the spiritual world you should demonstrate existence first.

No.

Try measuring something without believing it exists and see how far you get.

Ok.

:reads his horoscope, takes an IQ test, speaks to a reiki healer, analysis of the fungi shei of his bedroom, using a dowsing rod, and gets his thetan level checked.

What do I win?

Belief is a binary so it’s not like you can neither believe nor disbelieve in the thing you’re measuring.

Assertion please prove this.
