Personally i am torn on the arc. It is certainly one of the stronger plots in voyager, but at the same time it is also time travel bs and ultimately irrelevant because the successful resolution of the arc just means it never happened and the normal story continues.
No, you can’t. If you believe that academia is corrupted by money to the point you walk away from it, taking their accolades and cash prizes would make you a complete hypocrite. And nobody would take you or anything you say afterwards seriously any more.
There is no taking the money and staying true to your principles here. Either you say the whole sphere of academia is corrupt and fucked, or you take a nice big cash prize and play the game. Can’t say taking money is bad and then take that money yourself

Tangentially related, but i have taken to sleeping twice per day for around 4-5 hours each very well. I have adhd and at some point during the day I will just mentally crash, in the past I sometimes fell asleep sitting up somewhere (rewarded with wild neck pains of course).
Since deliberately taking a sleep during the day that has been much less of an issue.
Fair enough, though I must say that for me personally, as a german, nothing at all has changed in my life between having Obama, trump or Biden in office. Of course, what goes on politically in the states eventually affects the climate here as well, I was just arguing that not caring for the day to day business of foreign domestic politics is fine. Perhaps we argued over different things unintentionally.
With the implication that i should care about your election because of it, which still makes no sense for anyone not voting in your election, which sums up to about everyone outside of the exceptionalism capital.
As an uninvested european, are you undecided? No? Could either candidate do or say anything that might sway your vote, but not make headlines you will learn of anyway with it? No? Then why burden your mind with a constant torrent of negativity?
Indirectly at best. Either way, what the fuck am i supposed to do with polling numbers in some US state or the latest despicable thing republicans say? I don’t vote in your election. Might as well declutter my feed from irrelevant info and acknowledge the result when it is over
Not op, but i have filtered a lot more than you actually. Lemmy has a very specific demographic and some topics and talking points are insanely repetitive and exhaustively discussed at all times, particularly US politics which, as a european, don’t matter to me. Just tell me who won when it’s done
Seems crazy that official summer lasted until just now, wow. Didn’t realize that
I still wish we would adjust our calender system by a few months, so the seasons align better with each quarter.
Is… is it summer? we are about to have fucking october.
Ideally, supervision over most non critical sectors would fall to randomly drafted, single term committees of the people, think jury duty except better compensated and obviously with bureaucratic resources available to enable these committees to fulfil their role adequately.
Now this isn’t suited for everything, but in either system any true oversight is done by the people, not the state.
She was the equivalent of 18 for about a month or so? in her life cycle. She was probably older (and more mature) than neelix by the point she broke up with him.
Hot take: i never understood the whole controversy around him dating an alien with a very short lifespan.
She isnt a child in their society, just a (young) woman. Had she remained with the okampa she would likely have had romantic partners around that same time in her life, possibly children as well. For that matter, as far as I know neelix isn’t interested in her for her age in any way either, so I have a hard time seeing how it is considered creepy or inappropriate. Also, the actress was a normal adult woman, so that wasn’t weird either (I cringe more at the scenes of O’Brien and teen aged Keiko in that one TNG episode, at least they didnt kiss I guess).
I found him more annoying for his petty jealousy and overused mister vulcan interactions (although I generally enjoyed their dynamic).
Maybe the guy is a leftie? those exist actually. or maybe the image is mirrored.
Cilantro is the real devil’s lettuce. Absolutely vile
