My grandmother with Alzheimer's passed those clinical tests long after she had already asked us to take away her keys because she knew she wasn't safe to drive anymore. So yeah...

Rama squirrel! This is one of my favorite religious stories. It's just so frickin adorable. But it's ok, owls. I think Lord Ram will understand that you gotta eat too.

The First Amendment means nothing to these people

Well shit you're right! I just tend to save things in time order anyway, so I hadn't noticed. I just deliberately saved something out of time order, and sure enough it sorted itself lower down in my save list. Good to know. My bad

Who works 24 hours in ffp2? More like 12h in a surgical mask unless dealing with a confirmed Covid patient. It's not that hard.

Boost app is the solution to this problem

I also suffer from excellent quality, terrible tasting tap water. Tastes like Dasani, even filtered. Sparkling water in cans it is, I guess ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe not young, but too young to die of a treatable cancer.

Christ, he's so young to die of a treatable cancer.

Fascists deliberately create chaos so they can try to sell you the idea that they're the only ones who can end the chaos.

Dude, in the 5th episode of season 1, they encounter an alien species that has been decimated by an infection with a phage (which is a virus that targets bacteria, not animals, but ok). This species' solution to their problem is to steal organs from other species and graft them into their own bodies. So after two millennia, they have the tech to overcome organ rejection, but can't figure out how to deal with a virus.

So they steal Neelix's LUNGS, and he sits in sickbay with no lungs while they have a whole ass conversation about trying a dangerous experimental surgery to give him holographic lungs. They do this, and at the end of the episode, their solution is to transplant one of Kes's lungs into Neelix, leaving them both with one lung.

The doctor just says, "Don't worry you'll get used to it," and the whole show moves on like none of this ever happened.

Omg. Airing alongside DS9 in the wake of TNG, I can see why I declined to watch this show when it originally aired. The season 1 writing is just so bad. But I'm gonna tough it out this time.
