He wound up in basically exactly the Kobayashi Maru scenario, and they give him an especially hard time for it, since he's a Klingon. "I would have thought if anyone could beat it, it would have been you, Mr. Worf."

He insists it's not his fault, because Star Fleet training says he should accept the no-win scenario

Kirk is just assuming Picard is some kind of alien hallucination from the get-go, and Picard, from the later Star Fleet, knows this job is whacky, and sometimes you just gotta let your officers talk themselves through it

It looks just like the Tik Tok ban to me. Racist/Nationalist nonsense that doesn't solve the actual underlying problem, which is lack of regulation in the US

Just some particularly poignant snippets

The motion passed 3-2 along party lines, though without the support of the community, as the meeting was attended by dozens of civilians who unanimously spoke in support of Lewis.

Francis called the comments "an embarrassment to me," stating via WBRZ that Lewis "can't talk like that" because "it's way out of bounds to insult another public official." Francis did not address the governor's insult aimed at another public official.

Francis and the other Republicans also faced accusations of hypocrisy during the meeting. Foster Campbell, the other Democrat on the commission, noted that Francis once walked behind him with a sign that read "bullshit" while he was giving a speech during a PSC meeting. Both Campbell and Lewis recounted during the meeting that the Republican chosen to replace Lewis, Eric Skrmetta, is "the one commissioner who has had the most aggressive behavior at us all."

Unfortunately, I think there's an argument that insurance parasites count as a civilian population

As we have been seeing the police report that they apprehended someone they claim is related to the United Health shooting, I thought this would be a good time to share this video again.

Howdy folks! I'm new to ADHD spaces, still in the process of getting a diagnosis, but I've been doing some thinking about how I handle energy for tasks, and I was wondering if it would resonate with anyone else.

My partner and I have cats, which means we have to clean their litter box regularly. I struggle a lot with executive dysfunction, and so does she, so sometimes that's challenging. Recently though, we cat sat for a friend that had a Litter Genie. I have to say, I love this thing. We bought one immediately. It's basically just a little trashcan, but it automatically bags and stores dirty litter to be disposed of later.

For me, this was a game changer. I don't know why, but not having to deal with throwing out the litter at the same time makes it so much easier. Individually, cleaning the litter boxes, and taking out the trash, are easy, one spoon tasks. But only with the Litter Genie. If I have to worry about taking out the trash too, it becomes so much more than just one spoon more expensive. That's what made me think of sporks.

Because throwing away the cat litter after cleaning the litter box is really nothing. It's just the fact that I have to think about it that makes it harder. It's the complexity, not the amount, so it's not more spoons really, it's a different spoon, a spork. I think I'm going to start using this terminology with my partner. When discussing chores, we'll be able to mention spork tasks, for things we might need a little help with, or that we could use some brainstorming on how to tackle.

Do you have any simple things that feel like sporks to you? If so, do you have ways you break them down to make them easier? I'd especially love something for dishes lol

 
 

A lot of memes I across the Internet are about how everyone, no matter how old, is just a kid inside, trying to figure out what's going on, which is something I definitely identify with.

But every once in a while, something happens that does actually make me feel like a grown-up. It's usually small, and kind of silly, but it's fun, and I thought people might want to share theirs.

For me, most recently, it was realizing I like Greek yogurt now. It was trendy when I was like 12, and I couldn't stand it then, but I bought some on a whim, and now I keep the fridge stocked. That drastic change in my tastes took me aback momentarily, but I thought it was a nice fun little milestone.

How about you?
