I always saw it as a release valve. Vulcans kinda forced a sharp biological/neurological advancement that their physiology didn't quite catch up with right away, resulting in a temporary neurochemical rebalance needing to occur every so often. In other words,
Pon farr is not stored in the balls
Pon farr is not stored in the balls
Ok BUT... if the seven year clock doesn't reset every time a Vulcan nuts, what is it that's happening every seven years that needs to be released if not sexual energy? If it's not alien blue balls, then what the hell is it? What is being satisfied by THIS sex that's not satisfied by normal sex?
That's how the current Strange New Worlds explained it. They can have sex normally, but the every seven years urge is a different thing that kills them if they don't fulfill it.

I am more convinced than ever that moderate elected Democrats will walk themselves into camps saying "What's important is that we reached across the aisle to keep the government running".

@kaine.senate.gov We did see who's standing for us, and IT WASN'T YOU, you mealy-mouthed shitbag.
Kaine on why he thinks just getting a vote on healthcare is a win: "We're the minority party, but everybody will get to see who is standing for them when it comes to lowering their healthcare costs"

@kaine.senate.gov I hope your staff is keeping you updated on public opinion today, because I'm one of your Virginia constituents.
If you vote for ending the shutdown in return for just a vote on healthcare, I'll go door to door for your next primary challenger. Have a fucking spine.

Pretty sure having a piss list is a requirement to be left-wing now.
it’s genuinely so beast mode that voters in virginia saw these jay jones texts leak and elected him by 7 point and then flipped the seat of the republican who leaked these texts to a democrat lmfao

perhaps spending more than half their ad budget on ads attacking trans children was a tactical error
Earle-Sears ran what felt like 12 billion ads about how much she hated trans kids and I didn’t hear a single pundit say she should stick to real issues that affect real people.

The underlying principle is the same. I don't need to unblock people, because I've already heard their arguments repeatedly, at length.
Those people are also not owed OUR views. Other people will say how dogshit your ideas are. Insisting we do it personally is demanding we listen to & debate you.

Never once is there a follow-up of "Do you think that being constantly unaware of major political news makes you unfit to hold a political position?"
Or "You can pull an article up right now, we'll wait."
Or even "Which staffer are you going to fire for leaving you so pathetically unprepared?"

Alternately, Democrats could turn their entire political machine into food banks from now until the shutdown ends, and instantly buy themselves better messaging and goodwill than this neolib shit ever will.

Imagine being the CEO of a company that solely exists, & attracts investment, because a critical mass of people abandoned your competitor over bigotry. Now imagine crashing out publicly & asserting your userbase has no value to you because you don't want to eject a specific & named bigot.

Harassing the mods into banning someone has never worked. And harassing people in general has never changed their mind.

If you have to publicly beg a person not to renege on the deal you want to make, you aren't making a deal. You're capitulating.
Kaine: "We're just asking if we do a deal, please Mr President don't sign the deal and then immediately start taking away funds, rescinding agreements that you just made yesterday. A deal should be a deal."

What the Debate Me bros have done is found a way to filibuster the self-evident humanity of a person or group by making it an endless topic of debate.
As Toni said: "None of this is necessary. There will always be one more thing."
It's not my job to prove my equality to those who think me inferior

I truly do not understand why there is not a massive DNC fund dedicated to funding lawsuits against Fox News/Newsmax/etc. every time they spew a verifiable lie. Doesn't matter if it targets Democrats in general, specific reps, random targets of Republican hate - they lie or platform a lie, sue them.
Rep. Michael Rulli: "The Democratic Party... your rhetoric needs to be toned down... when Joe Biden was in office, we listened, we watched, and we spoke, but we spoke fluently and we didn't speak with this hate... you tried to kill our president twice. You actually killed Charlie. Enough is enough."
