Re: Doctor Who Series 37 Episode 2 - "The Ghost Monument" Spoilers
I'm digging the fairly big crew. Gives a lot to work with. Whittaker really excelled in the TARDIS reunion scene though. Yes, they really care for each other :) Yep. Hmm... Eleven did call her Sexy. And the TARDIS definitely seems to identify as a female... Does this mean the Doctor is in a lesbian...

Re: Satanic Temple Unveils Baphomet Statue at Arkansas Capitol
Ok, done some more research into the Temple and it seems some of them are genuine religious believers in it's tenants. My argument was mainly looking at how they were founded and it lead me to believe they were insincere. Based on that it was in reason to assume the believers weren't. If you want a ...

Re: Satanic Temple Unveils Baphomet Statue at Arkansas Capitol
Why should we respect certain imaginary friends more than others? Why does depth of belief matter when it's vanishingly unlikely that any religion is, metaphysically, correct? I get that religion is a big deal to many many people but in an increasingly secular world why not have a little fun. Have ...

Re: Satanic Temple Unveils Baphomet Statue at Arkansas Capitol
But the principle is, if Christians can display religious items on public grounds, then why can't other religions including Satanists? I need my flying spaghetti monster and Xenu statue.

At this point, I would consider pretty much any actions short of violence/threats/felonies justified to stop these fuckers.

Re: Jogger accidentally crosses US border from Canada and is held for two weeks
Wait, US Presidents are still Manifest Destinying? No, they're not. Wouldn't put it past Trump to bring back the tradition eventually, but they haven't for a long time. U.P. Cinnabar is just trolling. ...Which implies a level of competence from Trump and adminstration that is frankly beyond him.

Re: Knife Debate.
It'd help if the government in the UK wasn't cutting funding to the police force, I think that would do a lot more to hurt crime then a knife ban.

Re: "Child Migrant camps Not Nazi-style"
Sessions himself actually has a history of racism, though I'm sure you're all aware, anything done by him needs looking at with extreme scrutiny simply for that reason alone. There was a time in which under Reagan he got denied and barred from being a Federal Judge due to allegations of such racism....

Re: Trump Regime planning to set up "tent cities' (aka concentration camps) for unaccompanied migrant children.
Situations like this, more than anything else, honestly make me wonder how much longer I'll be able to retain my opposition to political violence. Did you restrain it when Bush attacked Iraq, killing many children in the process? I mean you're not exactly striking me as consistent, the US governmen...

You could make the argument it's Naquadah from StarGate as well. Judging by it's seeming rarity compared to Dilithium, I find it unlikely that they're the same thing. I had considered the possibility, but the technobabble doesn't support it. Dilithium is a regulator, not a booster. According to a pe...
