President Biden diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cwywqg7lq1zo It is a 9 out of 10 on the Gleason scale giving it a very high risk of spreading. Sad news of course. This will unfortunately boost those who were saying that this man should have stepped down by the time of the Primary. Halfway into his first year as...

Re: Is the Bible necessarily supposed to be taken literally?

I do not understand how anyone can live in 2025 with 99% of all of humanity's collected knowledge at their fingertips and think that a book written thousands of years ago by people who had the barest fraction of our current knowledge regarding the universe can be taken literally. These people did n...

Re: Your Dream Game

My dream game idea is very advanced - like decades into the future kind of advanced - but I can easily see it happening thanks to the way that virtual reality, AI and Chatbots are already going. The Doctor's holodeck family from Voyager's Real Life. Or The Sims TNG if you will. It is a sad concept. ...

Re: Donald Trump Reloaded!

He's allowed to keep that plane after he leaves office. I wonder if that is a subtle hint that he is planning to "power behind than man" JD Vance instead of running for a third term? Its just so weird. Not like that plane would be used on Day 1 either. Free plane but now the US has spend nearly a b...

Re: These Lower Deck reviews

Chuck is doing condensed reviews of Lower Decks. Is he giving up on reviewing Lower Decks in individual form like others? Because it seems like it is. I think these are more of a supplement to the previous reviews now that Lower Decks has ended. Hopefully Chuck will do this with all of the previous...

Pakistan is basically the second half of India.

The British Empire only technically gave the Indians back their country when they left.

Re: TNG - "Lessons"

Beverly and Picard is an odd one. There doesn't appear to be any rules in Starfleet against dating a co-worker - Riker/Troi, Worf/Troi, Bashir/Ezri, Worf/Jadzia, Paris/Torres, Seven/Chakotay - and yet it never happens. I suppose you can argue conflict of interest or power dynamics with him being the...

Re: Donald Trump Reloaded!

I'm very much enjoying the Red Hat fallout regarding the new Pope. MAGA started out absolutely ecstatic that it was an American who was chosen (a lot of them were dropping a brick that the choice might be a black man as you can imagine). That lasted about 24-48 hours until it became clear that Pope ...
