'We can also understand why it would have so much difficulty focusing, given how good that looks'. Or something to that effect.

If you're curious, here she is. With borg implants from the one recent mission (and a lore justification that they decided to join the Jurati borg collective. Because cool consensual hivemind is a fascinating thing that the show really did not adequately explore)

(There is a crass joke we were considering making, but we decided to spare you lol)

Might be that your camera sensor has difficulties figuring out what to focus on due to the reflectiveness of the leggings? But yeah, those look *good*, frankly.

Fair. We definitely feel a lot more comfortable being openly horny and/or exceedingly gay, as well, at least.

Ah, so, in canon they actually develop all their tech themselves? Seems like a bit of a wasted opportunity to me, honestly, but I'm not a comic writer, of course.
comment in response to
post
Honestly, we'd almost expect more of a borg approach to technology, in that they develop things based off of what their hosts have access to, shared across the hivemind. So less major innovation on original principles, and more improving tech they get access to with other tech they have available.

Ah, fair. There's definitely a lot of fascinating stuff that could probably be done with that society, really, sounds extremely cool.
comment in response to
post
Oh, that's extremely cool, really. Could make a comparison to, like, the historical punishment of ostracization, where people would not just be exiled, but never communicated with again.

Well, that's definitely what makes that origin a lot more interesting, the conflict between expectations of life and what one chooses to do. Which, given, well, life, is definitely something that resonates with us as well, quite frankly. Even if our parents aren't a god of evil lmao.
comment in response to
post
Ah, see, we would've joked that clearly it's just a case of morality thoroughly adjacent to that which humans have, but that definitely sounds like a fascinating origin itself.

My main, created as a self-insert when we were a good deal more boring about self-expression, is a DSC-era Human. We'd consider getting a species change token, but there's not that many options with DSC, sadly.

It's definitely ok! I'm currently making dinner as well, so response times may be a bit slow, but yeah.

I have a Joined Trill character in STO, and no, they don't have any special dialogue, which is very much a pity. (I believe you also need a Lifetime subscription for Joined Trill, but I got that years back, so, yeah)
comment in response to
post
Oh, I basically don't care about spoilers at all. Frankly, in some ways knowing what I'm getting into is better, but yeh.
comment in response to
post
Yeah! The Trill are some of my favorite species in Trek, honestly. Wish we could get more of them.
comment in response to
post
Well, quite. And in sports, the problem on that front has always, *always* been coaches and managers and doctors (who are, as you say, cis, generally white, men) doing assaults. Because, well, having a position of power makes it really fucking easy to get away with it.

Oh, that sounds extremely cool. Hell of a goal to have as well, really. (But yeah, symbiotes in general are excellent and deserve more love. There's a reason why Jadzia Dax is one of our favorite DS9 characters [and also why we like Ezri Dax so much, tbh, although she also deserved better])
comment in response to
post
Oh yeah, they're, like, symbiotes, I think? That's always an exceedingly cool concept, frankly.

Especially because it's also a very easy way for antisemites and islamophobes alike to gain credibility in the discourse. After all, if it's a religious conflict, then clearly the problem is that those Jews and Muslims are all too extreme and radical, right?
comment in response to

Fair! Maybe if we have enough disposable income we'll have a look sometime.
comment in response to
post
That's fair! There's definitely plenty of interesting stuff I've heard about via osmosis etc, but yeah. As a whole, not much of comics has ever really grabbed me, y'know?
comment in response to
post
I'm sure they are! We're not much of a comic nerd, but they seem like a very fun concept.
comment in response to
post
Ah, sounds like a fun people to get to know, then, I'm sure lol.

Vaguely. That's the comic character who is basically a swarm of spiders, right?

Ah, so what you're saying is we need to boot up the emulator sometime. Gotcha.

exactly how bullshit it is that that happens, but that the various *actual* sexual harassers and misogynists aren't dealt with.
comment in response to

B-b-but you can't expel those men! They're just too good at the game, it'd make the competition more boring if they were removed! (/s)
Incidentally, when trans women were banned from women's chess by the international body that does these tourneys, there was unsurprisingly a lot of cis women saying
comment in response to
post
I mean, with chess, the reason isn't natural advantages, iirc it's pretty specifically 'harassment of women chess players is so bad that you get dedicated tournaments as a safe place/so people will willingly participate', which is, kinda fucked in its own way imo.

Would some of the US army joining the CSA count?
comment in response to

Yeah, it's one of those things where I could see such an occurrence in theory, but in reality it basically never happens.

Not currently on disability (instead supported by my parents, but similarly can't work, for likely similar reasons), and yeah. I'd absolutely agree that there are some jobs which, even in extremis are unethical to take up.
comment in response to

...Surely the easy solution would be a coordinated failure to show up? Or just, y'know, actually do your own bill only condemning the Boulder attack to say 'we oppose this, but we also refuse to let this poison pill be used against us'
comment in response to

Oh god. Is this gonna be Roko's Basilisk or whatever that bullshit was called as the reason again? Where not helping make it would lead to being tortured by the AI?
comment in response to

I mean, that is a more accurate telling of what Niemöller was up to. Of course, he ended up regretting it later. I wonder if Frey will as well.

You do a monstrous disservice to whatever educational system taught you history.
comment in response to
post
Given you're talking about the party, and not the population, what you're presumably referring to is the Enabling Act. Which, fun fact, the commies were imprisoned in camps at that point, and only one liberal party actually voted against it (the SPD). So, yeah.

Clearly they stole all that tech from the poor innocent Germans that really developed it. /s

Oh, limp wrist, there's that classic homophobic stereotyping that one loves to see from someone who claims to support minorities.

Nah, a lot of furries are cool, tbf. This guy just sucks.
