That must be one desperate fucking client.

Yowza. I had no idea.

Yup. That was where I learned it!

>if they dont like the states leadership, they are free to leave the state. something i would greatly advise, as its NOT going to get better, only worse.

I, too, remember Martin Luther King's famous speech leading the exodus from Georgia, "I have a dream of it never getting better, only worse."

Can you hear yourself? You sound like a Republican talking snidely about how women who want rights should just leave.

You really didn't really the article, did you?

The people suffering here did not vote for Republicans. You are literally blaming the victims.

They vote to change their leadership.

They get overruled by the Republican majority.

They get punished brutally for voting the wrong way.

But sure, it's totally their own fault, right?

You don't feel sorry for the reliably Democratic city dying because the Republican state surrounding it is fucking them over for voting the wrong way?

If they were capable of shame, they couldn't be conservatives in the first place.

True. Rookie mistake.

You got a cool foil hat from Tinder?! I knew I got burned with them!!!

No, this is the effect of those voters on the areas of the state that vote against them.

Conservative are literally trying to starve out the few liberals among them. Or even just those who don't vote, because they're, y'know, black.

Sometime around 1865, I'd say.

Edit: Conservatives have joined the discussion, I gather? Don't like being called out on your racism, boys?

In rural communities, the chief may be one of two or three or five cops that comprise the whole force. They get a bit more pay, but they do pretty much the same grunt work as any officer.

>We finally get a female Captain, and she is either a sociopath or entirely incompetent.

I say...is it too much to ask for both?

>I think the last straw was when Q was all "Look I'll take you back home myself, just help me talk my friend out of killing himself and I can do it by snapping my fingers." and Janeway was like "I'm an immoral monster who hates my crew more than Chakotay's dialogue hates indigenous Americans, if I could kill your friend with a phaser rifle, he would already be dead."

I watched a bit longer than you did (far too long), and you really missed out on the later episode where Q returns and straight-up tells Janeway, "If you have sex with me, I'll send you and your ship home." Which is, uh...not a good look for anyone involved, writers included.

>I gave up on the show during season 2, my dad (a trekkie in his own right) said "Okay, but you have only yourself to blame for missing out on 7 of 9! She's really awesome!"

7 of 9 is, on the whole, a pretty interesting character, but much more potential than actual. Jeri Ryan is absolutely a great actress who's risen well above the dreck she was given, but seriously...they gave her a costume so tight she repeatedly passed out on the set because the costume was so tight she couldn't breathe fully. It wasn't just the writing on Voyager that was horrific, it was the entire production team.

And in her return in Picard, it's not much better. She went from slowly embracing her own humanity years before to being an unrepentant murderer, as well as acting out some pretty insulting "fan service" by jumping into a relationship with a woman she barely exchanged five sentences with.

...I have some opinions.

So say we all.

I rewatched some Voyager episodes in the lead-up to Picard. It was even worse than I remembered.

Beyond the thousand other nonsensical things, there are honest-to-god Injun Chief jokes in the fucking pilot. The mind reels.

<performs the extra long salute, reserved for especially important people>

That looks damn tasty. Well done.

Not so much intellectual failing as straight dishonesty.

Complaining about efforts to save lives being attempts to control people - definitely a troll.

6 million dead would like to have a word with you.

But they're busy being dead.

Semper paratus!

I believe 5 years is actually less than the minimum sentence for what he's looking at. Max is 20.

Sociopathy is a lot more common than we ever wanted to admit.

That's going to sound real different when he's called that by a guard.

Said it before, will say it again:

We have to get out of here.

Right now.
