Holy shit, Peter David wrote some of my favorite Star Trek novelizations. In 1997, I moved to a new area just before my junior year of high school. My new school was massive and I was an introvert who wasn’t great at making friends. But somehow I ended up hanging out with a few fellow Star Trek fans, who introduced me to his new series, Star Trek: New Frontier (thank you Regina!). It got me through the rest of high school!

I’m sorry to hear what happened to him. :(

Hey don’t misunderestimate them!

Kids also learn from unfettered access to the internet, which it sounds like was a big factor in this case.

It’s sewage infrastructure from the 1800s that needs to be repaired - apparently the pipe cracked. I don’t know why it hasn’t been fixed yet, that’s wild.

Yeah and (at least in this case) if he’s a security guard, he just walks right on in!

Hey now, it was eight very strong questions!

Ouais, ça serait une bonne occasion de pratiquer mon français - c’est trop rouillé !

Welp I don’t have children and it would be highly weird if I went around forcing other people’s kids to go play free-range so…

Serious question, have you considered the trades? It seems that jobs like electrician, plumber, auto mechanic, etc are a lot more secure than white collar jobs are right now, especially STEM. I know at least where I live (Philly exurbs) there’s a shortage of electricians, with only 2 going into the trade as 5 retire. You get paid during your training and through the union you get healthcare and a pension. Something to think about.

True, but kids aren’t free-range anymore the way they were when I was growing up in the '80s & '90s. It didn’t used to matter if you had a small backyard if you had a big neighborhood to roam. But from what I understand, kids aren’t allowed to just get on their bikes and go explore like they used to. Larger yards give kids a place to play, to get some fresh air and exercise instead of being indoors glued to a screen.

Ooh, ‘boil the billionaires’ has a nice ring to it

… there are only about 350M Americans. She’s saying 74% have been saved.

What a goddamn fucking moron liar.

Delco gonna Delco, we all know this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yup, I believe it’s Fallingwater

And independents

It already is

Yes, he’s atheist, but also ethnically Jewish.

I’m out of the loop, what’s wrong with Brave?

I’ve resorted to appending every Google search with “-ai” because I don’t want to see their bullshit summaries. Outsourcing our thinking is lazy and dangerous, especially when the technology is so flawed.

No, I’m not defending Bill Maher by any stretch! I can’t stand that guy and I do generally like Larry David. I haven’t read what Larry David wrote so I can’t really speak to it. I just think it’s bizarre that Bill Maher is pulling the “6 million dead Jews” thing when he himself is Jewish, plus it’s a moronic cheap shot against a guy who is widely recognized as a Jewish American comedy icon.
