  • Canada is imposing a 15% tax on streaming services to support local content

  • Can we also add a surcharge so I never have to see an ad again?

  • Or Transporter shenanigans?

  • Doesn't Moriarty get sent off in a shuttle at the end of the episode? I don't think the full Enterprise's computer is needed to run his mind, but even still it's still strange you don't see more sapient artificial life if it's apparently this easy to make. Data getting put on "trial" for his personhood shouldn't have been a thing because the Federation should be swimming with artificial people, maybe just in a larger form factor.

  • It's been awhile since I've seen the episode: they don't establish any weird situation that made the computer malfunction or something? Why is Data considered special if apparently any ship has a computer capable of creating a new sapient/intelligent person after working on it for a day?

  • That's very clearly not the reason though, as those same beauty standards emphasize post-pubescent secondary sexual characteristics a lot too (big boobs, hips, butts, full lips).

    The common thread seems to be just a way to hyper-differentiate from masculinity. In this patriarchal binary beauty standard, the most non-masculine woman is the same as the most feminine (assuming they also have those secondary sexual characteristics, otherwise you dip into androgeny). Basically, if you already have feminine qualities, then less man=more woman. It's why tall or more muscular women are seen as less feminine, not because they aren't childlike FFS.

    Men have more body hair, therefore manlier men are hairier, and by extension the more feminine women have the least body hair.

  • Wait, do people seriously think that the beauty standard that has women remove body hair is because men want them to look prepubescent??

  • How convenient

  • Is that right-angle traffic light a common thing? I've never seen one like that before.

  • 100% is actually pretty impressive

  • Watch Trump tell reporters he could 'run for prime minister in Israel'

    Jump

  • He's so dumb he thinks it works both ways. Just because Israel tells you what to do doesn't mean they'll let you tell them what to do.

  • Why would the government do this?

  • too pee? Like, also pee? Or more than the usual amount so too much pee?

  • Yes, 13th Warrior is what I was referencing, glad it was noticed.

  • What's with black superheroes and lightning powers?

    Jump

  • Miles Morales is an interesting example of the trope though, as the other spider-heroes don't have the electrical powers while he does.

    On Spider-Man, Electro isn't black in the comics but was in Amazing Spider-Man which is also maybe a hint of the trope.

  • That's not how tax deductions for charitable donations work, and McDonald's can't claim them either. What they do get is PR for running the thing, and like it or not, it does get people to donate who otherwise wouldn't.

  • Why the fuck would counselling be helpful for tinnitus?

    Jump

  • Wait, the CBT I was supposed to be doing for my bad back stands for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy? Well as soon as I'm done sitting on this ice pack, I have some calls to make.
