Re: Anson Mount is a genocide apologist

Oh no! He agrees with about a third of the country. A third seems low. "Palestine and Palestinians have a right to exist" and "mass murder of civilians is bad even when we or our allies do it" are both fringe positions IRL.

Re: Something I want to share

Shared bathrooms. How much worse will it be if you put everyone together? The office I work at remodelled one pair of bathrooms into a non-gendered bathroom. They made the walls and door touch the floor and removed the little gap between the door and wall. Honestly, they should have done this from ...

Re: Discussing the StarFortress SF-17 Bombers from The Last Jedi aka WHERE THE HELL ARE THE Y-WINGS?!?!

It's not frustrating that you're not backing up your claim, it's rude. It's also rather hypocritical since making claims and not backing them up is a pretty integral part of racism (I'm not claiming you are racist, but on that aspect you've got something in common). The real racists are the people ...

Re: Why Hasn't BioWare Fixed These Issues in Mass Effect 2

To this day, 3 years after the LE came out I still don't know why BioWare didn't reinstall cut content or made several quality of life changes AND still insist on screwing over Legion when they DID fix a number of issues with Mass Effect 1 and 3. They gave us the ability to sprint outside of combat...

Re: Transphobia is just repackaged homophobia

I may get skewered but, that last line is my personal concern. Getting your gender changed is not like putting on a new jacket. If someone is too young to vote, too young to drink, and too young to fight for your country. How then are they old enough to make a life altering decision this big? I thi...

Well OK, but it isn't. The US Navy has Up or Out. Starfleet has 64 year old Lt. JGs (see Tapestry).

Re: Biden V Trump: the rematch of the century

There's also a lot of people who support Palestine, and we're loud too. For some Palestine supporters, this could be the difference between being a Biden voter and being a non-voter. With respect to the Palestinian supporters....what's the goal with non-voting? To change Biden's policies or a belie...

Re: Biden V Trump: the rematch of the century

I dunno, I think you're living in a fantasy land if you imagine any president being able to stop Israel. The domestic political costs alone are too high. Stop them? Perhaps not. Slow them down more than is being done? Absolutely. I would further suggest that "The President is powerless to accomplis...
