Legend of Zelda?

Water, probably.

It's not the LIFESTYLE, it's the IDENTITY you don't approve of.

Oh that's insightful.

“I do have one question, though ― do you teach feminism? I mean, I believe in equality, but I am not a feminist, and I don’t want to teach it to my daughter.”

I take the approach I used in Missouri.

“What do you mean?” I ask her.

“Well, do you teach that women are better than men?”

“No, I teach all genders are equal and should be treated as such.”

She buys three kits.

Jesus wept.

Can we please move past this puritanical fear of the existence of sexual acts between consenting adults?

Edited to add:

Stewart added, “I personally don’t feel comfortable with the plus category only because I don’t understand it and I have never gotten a clear answer.”

I doubt this person has ever had an honest conversation on the subject. Aside from that, "I don't understand this" is not an excuse to vote against something, either bring in someone to explain it to you or abstain from voting because you aren't qualified.

My partner is into DS9 and suggested we watch some last night. For some reason episode 1 was not available on Amazon Prime.(?) We watched Past Prologue and A Man Alone. As someone who is only barely familiar with the Star Trek universe, here are my thoughts:

  • Sisko is a fantastic leader and also terrifies me. His smile makes me uneasy. "Go over my head again, and I'll serve yours on a platter."

  • Kira's morality is super questionable and I'm amazed they didn't kick her off the station after episode 2.

  • Bashir is a dork and also needs to take a hint and leave Dax alone. Clearly they aren't interested.

  • I do love Dax as a sort of early mainstream media conversation starter on gender. The Trill overall are just a brilliant way to frame the idea of how gender and sex work.

  • It's rough seeing Odo so accustomed to hatred. When he just dips behind a glass door to watch as a mob call for his death...

I'm surprised by the level of dysfunction in the crew. I sort of always saw Star Trek as a bunch of Space Paladins that always did the right thing but in DS9 everyone has their own motives and interests and it's super interesting to watch them come together. I think I'll keep watching and see where things go.

I'm sorry, there was a sniper killing people for 3 years?? I'm sure the victims got no help from police whatsoever being the 1980s. I can't imagine feeling so helpless.

That $38 million would be divided up amongst all the other artists if it wasn't being paid to white noise podcasts.

It would be divided amongst the record labels and distributed to artists as those labels see fit.

Wait, is Google in the process of Embrace, Extend, Extinguish on the free internet?
