“I will never join the army,” said Yankev Frank, 22. “Our religion doesn’t allow us to join the army. I would rather go to jail than join the army. If they tell me to do something that goes against my religion, I would prefer to go to prison. If we join the army, we will be forced to do things that...

I would have thought the director of a corporation will be liable if the corporation is breaking the law, this seems like a strong disincentive to that approach.

Suppose Biden does this, and Federalizes the Texas Guard, how likely is it that the guard will go along with it vs defying it or going AWOL enmasse?

Now, imagine what will be thrown around if Biden removes Abbot, for ignoring the SCOTUS ruling. Or removes the National Guard from Texas, so Abbot can't keep misusing them. It's a Trap, but Biden can't just sit back and let Abbot get away with it either. There is absolutely no legal mechanism where...

Well I'm asking not based on mechanics but the principal of the thing... From a role play perspective what is it like to be evil and have such a thing happen? Is it like having an epiphany? Is it a lead it to the follow up horror ptsd of knowing you can't undo being an evil prior ? I think we can ag...

I'm thinking that the creatures that gain power as they age (i.e Dragons, vampires, other types of undead if exposed to the right energies), that are confined down there, are under a variant of sleep, so they will continue to age, but that wakes them up if anyone comes with a minimum distance. Poss...

Is it chaotic evil to imprison a (usually) CE red dragon? Hm

I just want to find out what the MITD is while I'm still alive to appreciate it It's a Giant Space Hamster. Don't you know about the authors submission to Dragon Magazine back in 2e? Wait. What? NO, I don't know this, please tell me more? https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?234528-Rich-s-fir...

Doesn't it boil down to the point of the UN security council is not total world peace, but avoiding a world war. Everything else is secondary to that.

""PROPAGANDA HAS TO HAVE AN ELEMENT OF TRUTH IN IT. YOU CAN'T JUST BLATANTLY AND UTTERLY LIE FOR PROPAGANDA TO WORK AGAINST ANYONE WITH MORE THAN A 70 IQ.""

I sincerely doubt Muslims the world over are buying the story that Israel did it because their IQ is <71.

Presuming any Palestinian leadership is interested in a SECULAR state is already a pipe dream.

If she's going to stay in the job then good on her for doing her best to do the job (unlike some of the clowns in Congress these days). I agree, though, that it's time for a lot of the old codgers in high office to retire and let a new generation take over. I sometimes think a number of our current...

Well I posted my thoughts in a couple of different places and got yelled at 'No! T'Lyn doesn't have Bendii's you fool', so obviously I'm going for three because I'm glutton for punishment. Given Mariner basically says: "You don't have a character flaw, you have bendii's syndrome like Sarek it'...

This show still warms my heart but S4 so far seems to careen wildly between character-based comedy (good) and kinetic cringe comedy (bad).

I really just want SFDebris to get to the moopsy episode and make a Kyubey joke.

I find it kind of odd that the space faring Vulcans would miss such an anomaly in their own system. Perhaps they just take it for granted? I don't think it's that odd when you consider the Vulcans have been space faring far longer than humans but it took humans to kick everyone in the pants and acc...

Russia has blown up the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam on the lower Dnipro. The reservoir it held back was both Crimea's main water supply and the source of coolant for the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, not to mention this will destroy all the towns downstream. They must be desperate. How do we kno...

For a moment, imagine a hypothetical where a corporation sues a governor over a law that they don't like. But, unlike Disney, the corporation doesn't have strong case. But they can outspend the governor if the governor is limited to their personal funds. Do you like that scenario ? Because I don't....

I would prefer fanservice that doesn't shortchange the sister shows and itself too. It's logical that Shaw and the Titan deserve to keep their own legacy while honoring Picard and the Enterprise. If there was doing to be fanservice I much rather see Janeway and O'Brien* name-dropped at the epilogue....

My main issue with it is really they should have christened a new NCC-1701-G that is NOT the Titan-A because holy cow what a way to disrespect the crew and legacy of the Titan - i mean yeah we get that it's basically Riker's rebound but still!

Who was the narrator of he final captains log? I think it's Tuvok but I'm not certain...

I know it will never happen but the lower decks fanboy in me wants that fleet to be made up of Cali and Oberon classes that didn't even rate being called part of "all" Starfleet ;p The only problem I see there is that they probably suffered the same assimilated-by-transporter crew as the ...
