It's not specific to an era, throughout time, the Captain (CPT) of any craft has always had the final say. Even if all the flight attendants agreed with a passenger it is still the CPT's call.

Mutineers faced, by that same CPT, flogging, court martial, death, or jail, a taped mouth is the outlier.

For the people in the back, elections have consequences!

Being rejected for a grant is not criticism it's being responsible. Einstein was also rejected.

I go back to the beginning like every couple months. Always as a Corpo whore, ARASAKA emblazoned across on my chest, always a plague-maiden: overclock>system collapse>contagion>overheat, gibs everywhere. I swear I'll meet Hanako, but it's only been like 5 years, I have time.

Don't do that thing where people online argue a point via ad hominem attacks & shifting goalposts. It's unseemly.

As of today the Bucs lead their DIV guaranteeing them a playoff berth.

A wildcard team has to travel to their stadium in the playoffs.

I would not fire a head coach in this scenario.

I totally get that we need to fund missions to Europa. But you know where else we should fund missions to, right here on planet earth! Holy carp, that was one attention grabbing tagline.

The 10-6 Giants defeated the 16-0 Patriots.

Leading a weak division at 10-3 is is the same as leading a weak division at 7-6. The goal is to win your division. This allows teams to give injured players time to recover when they play nondivisional opponents. It's why every team will have head-scratching losses on their resume.
December 8, 2025 at 5:44 PM
Why would you fire the head coach of a team leading its division and therefore still in the playoffs? A division with a team that just beat up on the Chiefs. Ah, nevermind.

You'd be frozen to death way before that, so, as scavengers, they'd be protecting the lake.

Imagining scientist painstakingly attach BlūMorpho radio tags to the delicate bodies of monarch butterflies, conjure up a rap beef between Kendrick Lamar & Gary Larson over their past relationships with Dr. Girlfriend.

60 Minutes did a segment on this premise here:

If Dems win big next year & then again in the general elections, wouldn't that mean our Constitution held up as intended? Then why the need to further imbalance the branches of power?

Elections have consequences. Dems need down-to-earth leadership & we need to participate other than every 4 years.

Do doctors prescribe alternative workout regimens to active depressed patients or meds?

Anecdotally, a depressed fit person is more likely to stop exercising without their prescribed meds, than rely on just exercise to sustain their feelings of well-being.

Humans innate ability to recognize patterns is fundamental to our survival. AI art is a direct assault on this cognitive process. The fact that people react in disgust might be inherent and necessary.

Large animals! You'd think they'd be more susceptible, but nah.

Cancer in humans? My bet is on a mosquito borne virus, early in human development, that deposited a packet of genetic material which became 'calcified' in our dna. I just need a Grant to explore this theory then give no updates ever.

Not unlike Josh McDaniels of the New England Patriots, Eric Bieniemy is not good as a head coach. However, it appeared that he, Reid, and Patrick worked well together, and word is, he was the team disciplinarian. Looking at how good Josh is for New England, maybe the Chiefs need to give Eric a call.

A few examples of generally standing by:

The Health Security Act of 1993.

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) 2010.

The American Rescue Plan 2021.

The Inflation Reduction Act 2022.

Every now and again I catch myself saying this is the darkest timeline, then I remember AOC is in it, so it can't be.

This was a tough read. 26-years old and all those administrators and doctors knew the device was faulty.

A bit similar to the Horizon IT scandal which led to 13 suicides. The post office knew the software was to blame, yet continue to pursue sub-postmasters for theft. The UK has a ghoul infestation
