The original post here uses words like “gouging” and “raking”, so this didn’t start out as a calm discussion of opportunity cost.

The post you’re replying to is kind of condescending, so all in all this is probably not the best content we’ll see all day.

So what’s your ideal scenario for what should have happened? US authorities apprehend the former President, charge him with no crimes, and ship him out of the country?

I am not versed in how the ICC works. Are /were there indictments or the equivalent? What grounds would a President have for detaining and removing a predecessor?

I use Kbin and I see it as “removed by moderator.”

Eternal card game has similarities to Magic and Hearthstone, but has more generous rewards and is designed to take advantage of the digital space.

I bet this will be as lucrative as twitch streaming.

Crewed vs uncrewed is a decision made at the very beginning of the planning stages, years ago. These days a crew is just a gigantic extra expense on a mission with little return. Remotely operated missions can achieve all their scientific objectives.

Star Trek: Year Five - four-volume trade paperback (from the comic books)

Outstanding pacing, art, and characterization. Uhura really gets a chance to show her expertise in communications. Several connections to the original series, but they don’t feel like they’re just awkwardly-forced name checks.

One of the reasons you don’t know Detmer was they made a conscious decision to make a “one main character” show instead of an ensemble show. They were consciously not trying to develop anyone but Burnham, and to a lesser extent Saru, then Stamets.

There are self-appointed moderators over there who browse new and downvote anything that doesn't fit their vision. I was one of them, looking for certain "offenses." For instance if someone posted run-of-the-mill war news in an "interesting" sub, with nothing at all novel or intriguing about it, I would downvote it. So I guess I've got my gates to keep too.

But yeah, I had the same thing happen to me in a couple subs. I posted what I thought was perfectly relevant content, and it would attract a few downvotes right away, and then, usually, climb back up as less-zealous people read it.
