Oooh, I will have to check that out. Thanks for the recommendation!

Absolutely - I couldn’t put it better myself. She was cast as wall dressing and ended up hitting a grand slam.

Side note:

I somewhat recently rewatched Voyager, and came away more impressed with Jeri Ryan’s acting chops - even in the face of Braga’s misogynistic catsuit fetish. And honestly, as much as I am… disappointed by all but the last Picard season, her character arc from Voyager through all of that is actually super cool.

TL;DR imo Ryan’s got some serious acting chops and I like the directions in which she’s taken Seven’s character

They’ve reported 330 so far

Ryan, shome thingsh in here don’t react well to bulletsh

Well hey a bunch of news outlets have been doing that so why shouldn’t I?

Wow, good job Rutte, you’re successfully undermining the entire point of NATO 🤦‍♂️

A decade? How about a generation? Or several?

It’s not a thing we’re going to recover from quickly. It’ll probably take a generation - if not several. We are continuing to squander reputation and trust that has been built over the course of more than a century. The damage being done here cannot be overstated. It’s geopolitically catastrophic. We are creating a power vacuum, and Europe isn’t stepping up nearly aggressively enough.

Pierogi: exists

And climate goals aren’t attached to their money printers, so that’s what’s gonna get ditched.

To be honest, if a country is gonna implement a draft or some form of compulsory service requirement, it should be gender neutral, and apply to their citizens universally, with no bearing on gender identity. By all means keep the physical fitness standards to ensure force effectiveness, but possession of one or another particular combinations of genitalia should not play into the equation at all.

Your dogmatic faith in the veracity of Russian state media sure is… something.

Cite your sources.

But you can’t, because that is not a real thing that happened, and the only sources pushing that are well-known Russian outlets known to be affiliated with the government, which have an established precedent of pushing Russian government propaganda.

Oooh, a nonsensical ad hominem attack. Daring today, aren’t we?

lol watching the SPR run out mid-month is gonna be a fucking riot 🫠
