I wonder if A'Sha will have T'Lyn moment and realize she's been Starfleet all along.

This has also unintentionally put a huge, unprecedented strain on archives and archivists across the country, with people looking for records to prove ancestral citizenship, at a time when the governments (all levels, but especially provincial) have been slashing culture budgets and cutting workers.

These situations objectively suck. One thing that's stuck with me is asking: will this still matter in 10 years?

It doesn't mean it doesn't suck, it doesn't mean you don't have to deal with it, but it does mean "this, too, shall pass", and you'll still be okay on the other side of it.

Well, to my understanding, Hegseth wants extra-Teed up dudes, yes? And she is not an extra-Teed up dude. This is actually gender-affirming.

Bet they'd take a trans dude who's already on T and give him even more.

Literal slaves clearing the debts of starving children. I don't even know what to say about that.

What about the fact that it's ok if deliveries are slower? How many of the things that people buy online, whether from Amazon or not, actually need to be same day or next day? If there were options for "just sometime in the next month", I'd chose that.

Of course, I understand that be a logistics nightmare to schedule, I'm only making the argument that delivery speed is a more a luxury than necessity. As is Amazon itself.

You can install other reading applications, like Kindle, Kobo, Libby, Hoopla, etc to greatly expand your reading selection.

There is an idealized definition and configuration of Christianity, its Jesus Fucking Christ. Do you act like him and what he taught (or at least try your best to)? Christian. Do you do literally the opposite of what he did and taught? Not Christian. It not hard.

We have reached the point where I genuinely cannot tell reality from satire.
"Is this real? Am I eating the onion?"
I don't even know anymore.

Migrants do have the right to protest. People who are no longer in the country legally do not have a right to stay in the country. People were not taken into custody for protesting, they were taken into custody because their visas have expired. The two are entirely separate issues.

I wanted to change careers to something totally different and took a course and found the maths beyond my capability to understand. That was when I found my ceiling. And you know what? That's okay. I tried, and now I know I can't do it. I won't live the rest of my life wondering "what if" or regretting that I didn't go for it. Instead, I changed directions and I'm about to (hopefully) graduate from a different masters.

In a similar vein, during my undergrad, I took one single class in 3D animation. Up until that point, I thought I would love it. Turns out I HATED it. I could do it, but I hated it. I'm glad I took that class, otherwise (again), I may have spend the rest of my life thinking about this ideal career and regretting not going for it. Instead, I'm so relieved that I never had to do it again.

I didn't know who Jenny McCarthy was when I started watching The Masked Singer. I don't keep up with a lot of pop culture, so I thought she was probably an actress who'd just been on shows hadn't seen before. (I didn't know Robin Thicke or Nicole Scherzinger were either, at first. And I often don't know who the celebrity contestants are, too.) Then one time a contestant thanked her for her work... and so I wondered and searched online.

Ken Jeong is a comedian, but he was a medical doctor first and he continues to work enough as an MD to keep his credentials. How can stand to sit at the same table as her? Especially when it was COVID and people were literally dying by the millions. (That's when I first saw the show.) I suppose the money is good enough for him to put aside his medical credentials and Hippocratic oath aside when he's not actually practising.
