Personally i am torn on the arc. It is certainly one of the stronger plots in voyager, but at the same time it is also time travel bs and ultimately irrelevant because the successful resolution of the arc just means it never happened and the normal story continues.
I’ve been watching the 40k gameplay and it looks just gorgeous aesthetically, but the gameplay loop seemed incredibly repetitive even after just a few minutes, forcing the player into finisher juggling.
If the StarCraft shooter can make the universe come to life similarly and also manage to not be as restrictive in gameplay I’d probably grab that.

Seems crazy that official summer lasted until just now, wow. Didn’t realize that
I still wish we would adjust our calender system by a few months, so the seasons align better with each quarter.
Is… is it summer? we are about to have fucking october.
She was the equivalent of 18 for about a month or so? in her life cycle. She was probably older (and more mature) than neelix by the point she broke up with him.
Hot take: i never understood the whole controversy around him dating an alien with a very short lifespan.
She isnt a child in their society, just a (young) woman. Had she remained with the okampa she would likely have had romantic partners around that same time in her life, possibly children as well. For that matter, as far as I know neelix isn’t interested in her for her age in any way either, so I have a hard time seeing how it is considered creepy or inappropriate. Also, the actress was a normal adult woman, so that wasn’t weird either (I cringe more at the scenes of O’Brien and teen aged Keiko in that one TNG episode, at least they didnt kiss I guess).
I found him more annoying for his petty jealousy and overused mister vulcan interactions (although I generally enjoyed their dynamic).
Maybe the guy is a leftie? those exist actually. or maybe the image is mirrored.
Pretty sure that depends entirely on the individual. Since being deaf (or blind for that matter) isn’t as binary as it appears there are various degrees of hearing impairment. Perhaps one person is completely deaf, while another is still able to perceive certain frequencies, and yet another just needs it to be really fucking loud but if it is they hear just fine.
From my personal experience with a nearly deaf acquaintance they are using a special kind of hearing aid they can tie into their devices via Bluetooth. So they have the sound sent directly to the device specifically configured to allow them to hear.
This is important. While we as a society have learned to be more inclusive than ever before, behind all that pretense we forget that what people generally consider as “retarded” isnt desirable. It is a genuine developmental impairment that negatively affects the individuals cognitive abilities. Not one parent in the world is glad their kid is special. They may love and support them just the same because they aren’t fucking ghouls, but if they had one wish no questions asked I’m sure virtually all of them would wish for their child to be “normal”.
And therein lies the truth/problem. We use retarded as a slur because it describes a condition of inferiority. Shifting the window of acceptable speech will not change this, only rephrase it. Policing language never truly works, eventually a different word for the same meaning takes hold, so all this does is spin the wheel of synonyms.
Why not let people enjoy things if it gives them happiness?
(Not a fan myself, as a disclaimer)
I dont think we need to tread so lightly around this topic, since we already know that brain mass does not directly tie to intelligence from the simple fact that women have smaller brains on average but are not less mentally capable than men.
Nobody arguing or even just reading this in good faith would try to frame this as women being mentally inferior.

My condolences… do you guys like, work at night? 44C sounds completely intolerable to me lol
Fucking 33C today here in germany. I hope every climate change denier has to spend a week doing manual labor in this insanity
Twitter had a tweeting bird. Mastodon has a, well, tooting mastodon.
I hope someone simply linked a wiki definition of the word oligarchy, because that would literally be what this is. One in-group that practices democracy amongst themselves but excludes the rest from political power.
Cotton sucks for this heat. Try linen, very light and airy. Only drawback is that it always looks a bit wrinkly, though that works fine for casual clothing.
