Someone else pointed out, the current hierarchy also actively maintains itself, including sabotaging any potential threats

Sadly, they don’t seem to me to be the type to drive from state to state

Wow, that’s a pretty compelling case.

…didn’t think I’d actually get interested in seeing Insurrection again! :D

Ahh, yeah, that does fit pretty well!

Could you elaborate? I grew up on TNG but wasn’t really aware of the conflict at the time, so this went right over my head

I’m also curious - where do people come down on things like oysters and clams?

“Happened” is past tense. While we have had massive asteroid strikes before, I’m not aware of any since any power grids have been established

Minecraft should work pretty well in it via ViveCraft, if you’re comfortable modding. It officially supports Linux play

They recently updated it, which seems to have at least improved stability for me. Still can’t get room configuration to run, but I can use default settings fine

Yep - they’re established, so it’s ladder-pulling time!

He can always move in if he wants

Never really got this part - you don’t just move in if you want, you have to unhouse a family first.

Maybe it’s just because I’ve been on the wrong side of that…

A wild Nimona reference!

It’s still my go-to username! (Usually 5t00)

Star trek! Vulcan mind melds (not to mention betazoids and other telepaths) are absolutely psychic

Oh, for sure. For some reason, I keep thinking that’s just a common thing for some people to do :D

That actually makes me wonder if one or a few of the script writers have some autistic tendencies. I read something similar happened with the author of The Murderbot Diaries.

But yeah, given how Zoey seems to have more tells, I suspect she got that treatment more intentionally

…How the hell did I miss that Zoey is coded autistic? I just had her pegged as “the creative one”, never mind the 700 2-second videos of turtles, or her very specific insecurities!

And conversely, learn to appreciate periods of stillness!

(I’m not disagreeing with you, both are valuable!)

Seizure, maybe?

That’s just an obstacle, and not an insurmountable one
