I thought "you all" was y'all? "You are all" should be y'all're, right?

Why would you miss the chance to double up on contractions?!

To speak more to the point - Geordi is asked by his doctor a few times (by different doctors) why he didn't upgrade to a more modern prosthetic. He preferred the visor.

Eventually, in the movies, he did switch - presumably his new implants finally had feature parity with the visor. Or he got tired of the visor popping off...

As the parent of a preschooler, he would absolutely say this. He didn't have the patience to sit through such a long movie at that age, but he'd play while shows are on, and he'd definitely catch any intense emotional or musical moments.

And he could certainly plot, if a bit hamfistedly! At a little before three, he'd come up with some excuse for me to leave the room whenever he wanted to do something he wasn't supposed to ("Mommy wants you!"). If that kid realized she'd been upset by the scene, I could totally see her taking that one step further to make others upset at an opportune moment!

That would be a massive improvement. I was thinking along the lines of expanded voting time and better remote voting options for college students and the like; but ranked choice would be a seed change.

There are some fundamental issues with our democracy that I think need addressed, but I don't think age restrictions or term limits would do anything useful. There are already mechanisms in place that are supposed to handle the case of age-related incapacity - these need strengthened, but that doesn't require an amendment. The other problem I hear this is supposed to address is out-of-touch representatives - which should be addressed by strengthening our voting process. Reverse Citizens United, make it easier for young people to vote, and you'll see an improvement.

Me too! I don't know what they're like for everyone else, but I find them intensely bitter.

Olive oil is awesome, tho

Yeah, I always understood stewardship as implying a need to care for the thing.

If you can't mess it up, you're not really a steward, are you?

That sums it up very nicely!

I'd expect considerably more to expect to deal with that kind of a workplace!

Sure, you probably won't get it - but it's not a place you want to be anyway.

Will they stop working, or will the launcher stop working? I haven't tried all my titles, but I know many of my older games launch fine without Steam kicking them off.
