Public support I can buy. Housing first, Medicare for all, cannabis legalization all poll incredibly well. The government doing it, regardless of who's in power? That's fantasy. Lol. I'd be more likely to believe we got transporters, or the Elon musk has a replicator and the rest of us aren't allowed to use it. Lol.

I've been trying to find a confirmation on the century it'll be set in for forever, but I suck at finding these things. Is 32nd century setting confirmed? I'm genuinely hoping it is. So much unexplored territory there.

Sept. 2024. You're right. Just a bit less than a year.

The scariest part, though, is that sanctuary cities almost seem like a better alternative than our current approach to the housing crisis of "lol fucking die" :/

Honestly, star trek hasn't always hit the nail on the head for the circumstances, but in this case, they got the vibe just perfectly.

It's a good time to watch ds9. We're only a year away from the Bell riots. ;)

My brother joined up and deeply regretted it. I was 8 at the time. When I got to the age where recruiters started sniffing around I told one that I would join if I could only shoot the people Exxon wanted me wanted to shoot, I didn't want to fight for any other oil company. He called me unamerican and they never came back .

I always thought they were called French fries because they're French style, as in cut into long thing pieces. Til!

What's hilarious is they'll read it, and then ask why they only use female pronouns. Male pronouns are so ingrained that when half of them are she's and her's, they don't even recognize any male pronouns were used at all.

It really is. I love that word so much. I grew up with it as completely normal, and when I got a little older got picked on for using it in our largish city we'd moved to. Now everyone uses it. But old Old Believers never stopped.
