Man who has turned himself into weaponized depression aimed at the heart of the people who killed his family finds that his sister is not dead, but that she's instead working for the oppressors his father sought to be free of, it's a pretty bad day for Char all around.
They'll tell you it's not, but they'd be taking the piss
Strange New Worlds has produced some of the best episodes of Trek I've ever seen, and some of the absolute worst. Mostly they're inbetween. I really wish this wasn't a prequel show with established characters, I feel like that'd help a lot.
I'm not saying to do nothing, I'm saying to take actions that are meaningful, and avoid harm where possible. Advocating for a bunch of service members to be homeless because they happened to get picked for Trump's dick measuring isn't helpful to anything.
Pretty sure some national guard guys deciding not to pick up trash in DC isn't going to save democracy. Their refusal of orders here won't help anything, it'll only harm them. It's easy to say you'd have the principles to ruin your life behind a keyboard.
They'd be punished. And then they'd be jobless, and probably homeless.
An ethical protest means they still have to follow the orders as long as they're lawful. They've no doubt complained to their command, their command has no doubt complained up the chain, but beyond that there's not much that can be done.
refusing a lawful order is grounds for anything from non judicial punishment to discharge. A dishonorable discharge or an other-than-honorable discharge can be as bad as a felony conviction for getting jobs after you get out. You're asking for mass joblessness for veterans. We have enough of that.
They’re not illegal orders, though. Immoral, certainly, unpalatable definitely, but they are the legal orders of the lawfully elected president.
What would you have them do about it?
Magic works however it needs to in order to solve an unsolvable narrative issue or look cool for no reason, and only works in those two scenarios
I'm loving that Newsome is getting under trump's skin, but the guy's a ghoul and I'm looking forward to his inevitable crashout. It's this election cycle's Andrew Yang.
It's kind of hilarious that she tried to ape Stephen King, who made a pen name just to prove that it was the merit of his stories and not just his name that caused them to sell. When she wrote books under a false name, they flopped, and then she revealed it was her... and they still flopped.
Even the Zabi family?
I'm not trying to prove anything. The statement did not indicate that it was out of school hours. The overwhelming majority of a kid's time is in school, the reasonable assumption is that that is what's being talked about.
brother what
There's nothing in your post to suggest you meant in their private time.
You said "because my child would NOT be associating with any kid whose parents support Trump". How exactly do you do that without taking them out of the school?
So hope you're qualified to homeschool your kids? Otherwise you're basically fucked in a lot of areas.
Wait, that means there's three different agencies that thought this was a good logo? Oh no.
You see, the problem is that you're an artist, and would want to be paid for even this slapdash 5 minute doodle. Corporations are not willing to pay one red cent, so they almost certainly had the guy who picks good fonts in the office do it for free.

This is just my experience with imperium fans in general, tbh. A big part of why I stay away from the human factions in 40k.
He’s legally not allowed to update his name or he’ll be sued by DC

More matte and lighter colored, they should be light blues and grays, not dark silver. And while we're at it, we have the tech to simulate the pearlescent hull of the Connie Refit, start doing some TMP style hull materials on select ships, crisp white with pearlescent panels!

Taxation and social obligation go hand in hand, but there’s a need for the people using those taxes to be held responsible for how they are used, and accountability is the antithesis of a career politician

I think this design with some cutouts in the triangle to create nacelle struts, even very thick ones, would be a very good TOS design.
I always love seeing your work, so the more of it you make the happier I am. Absolutely finish it.
He is not. He's an antagonist, but he's definitely not a bad guy.

A whole lot less 'roll over' and a whole lot more 'there's fundamentally nothing anyone can do about it'
I was gonna say it's rare to see one of these where I didn't make anything, but I see that DC-17m. I see it.
W.... what does that mean...?
The constitution is creatively reinterpreted by Trump’s Supreme Court on the regular. The law does not matter, the constitution does not matter, he is above both now.
Good. If there's a name on that list, that name needs to be in jail or dead. Start with the orange one who wrote him love letters.
Absolutely. Political figures are not heroes, they are not idols, they are people doing a job and if they are show to break *any* law they should be punished accordingly. This should be common sense, but we have a whole section of the country turning politics into idol worship, with a golden god.
If Bill Clinton were the current president, and still at the height of his popularity, I'd still like to think his name turning up on the list would immediately result in Dems asking for his removal and prosecution.
Piracy isn't even the actual legal term. It's copyright infringement, and even then it's a subset of copyright infringement not resulting in monetary gain. Companies use piracy to make it sound like a real crime and not an inconvenience.
With no path toward revenge and with the Wutai war over, Aiden grew restless, listless, and lost all sense of ambition. When you've dedicated yourself to a war that will no longer come, what's left?
SOLDIER 3rd Class - Aiden Clear The son of climate scientists for the ShinRa company, their untimely deaths galvanized him to join SOLDIER at an incredibly young age. Initially anxious to repay Wutai for the deaths of his parents, he became disillusioned with war after experiencing so much death.
After being arrested for the crime of being a Drow, he was broken out of prison by a professional thief, who used his skills in combat as part of her escape plan. Afterwords, he operated as a hired bodyguard, sellsword, or whatever other physically imposing job was needed. Better than prison.
Silas Baenval, formerly of House Baenval. Baenval was targeted by a rival house for elimination, causing them to flee into the Shadowfell briefly before making their way to the surface. Most of the house scattered, seeking some semblance of a normal life.
With nowhere left to go, Araris survived by masquerading as a mercenary, using military surplus gear and scavenged weapons.
Araris, survivor of Order 66. Assigned to negotiations in the far outer rim just before Order 66, he wasn't even assigned any Clones. By the time the lengthy negotiations were complete, the only contact that could be made with the Jedi council was the repeating message from Obi-Wan.
Covenant vibes.
From someone who's obsessive over details of canon, it's likely whoever was drawing this used those specific underclothes because they're the only real canon look at what people wear for underwear in the UC 0079 timeframe.

We've certainly learned a lot, and current generation reactors are as close to disasterproof as we're likely to get. Molten salt thorium and natrium reactors look very promising as well, and if the funds were allocated to it, Nuclear could be a very promising future.
Clean-er, I guess I should've said, but character limits and whatnot.
That's why he picked the suit though. It's not a Gundam, and he's not a hero. And then he painted it gold with anti-beam coating so everyone would shoot at him first, and the enemy wouldn't target his allies.
Well, I mean, Lalah's supposed to show up soon, so I guess that gives Amuro something to do.
If only there were a clean energy source that was readily available that could meet our current energy needs. But that would take an updating of the infrastructure, spending money on things that would actually help everyone, so the government will treat it as the nuclear option.

To be fair, he said he'd return when the world lived the way he asked us to, and Christianity was supposed to spread his message and convince people to live in harmony. Instead they actively preach the opposite of his message these days, breeding hate for hate's sake.
There’s still a few good story driven and character driven anime out there, but it’s the golden needle in an ever growing haystack of action driven spectacle and gooner driven weirdness
Classic gundam really didn't look great, but it was compelling, character driven. Then there was this brief renaissance where it got popular enough on story that they could afford to add in some spectacle, and you got REALLY GOOD animation with your good story. But now story is less important.
Anime in general has changed too, though. More focus is on spectacle and animation flexes than actual story. Compelling characters and real emotion gets sidelined for making the super attack look cool and having the voice actor blow out their voice on an attack name scream.
Gundam isn't about war any more, it's about corporate sponsorships and back alley brawls but with mecha, about schoolgirls and crushes and corporate dystopianism. That doesn't make it bad, it just makes it fundamentally different from the old Gundam shows. That makes it difficult to compare.
A lot of what shaped the original Gundam was its proximity to the war, and how everyone working on it felt about that war. But it's been so long since Japan has seen war that nobody working on these shows remembers it. So what the show is about has changed significantly.
I think the issue with more modern mecha anime is that the people making them are fundamentally different than the people who made the original mecha anime. That shift in creators means a shift in tone and message, and therefore a shift in audience.
“Could belly buttons be proof that we live in a simulation? Gaze deeply into your navel as we discuss”
Empathy is why our species survived. We cared for the elderly and they taught us wisdom we would not have, even as proto-humans. But also, our caring for other species found us companions, turned the fierce wolf into the loyal dog. We shaped our world with compassion, and it got us here today.
I thought they were fleas?
I mean, this works for high altitude craft, sure, but single drones with explosive payloads do still pose a credible threat to any landing craft, be it VTOL or helicopter.
It's already begun.
