This seems likely given that in the timeline where Pike was still in command in 2266 having avoided good accident M'Benga was still CMO. I would imagine that having give through all that shit he wanted to step back a bit and let someone else run the department.
It's fantastic, I am usually skeptical of alternate history as they tend to be lazy and are often masturbatory, but this book is great.
I honestly think that Bibi knows if he tanks Biden then Trump will probably be better for his government. He has basically no incentive to be reasonable since nobody is willing to hold them accountable and he knows it's very unlikely Biden will be able to.
Chinese has so many good ones.
Please forgive the lack of tones, it's been a long long time.
Ren shan, Ren hai: a mountain and sea of people - a remarkable amount of people by Chinese standards.
Ma Ma, Hu Hu: horse horse, tiger tiger - a mixed bag, or something that's ok.
Yeah, I was trying to be careful with my comment not to imply the reason for secession was "states rights" since there are still plenty of idiots who are happy to bang that drum.
They didn't secede because they were told to stop slavery. They seceded because it looked that the national consensus was moving against the expansion of slavery to new states and territories, which would have limited slave states overall power in the long run.
They were very explicit that they were leaving to protect slavery as an institution, but to be fair nobody in power was threatening to abolish it when they did so.
I really liked rebels a lot (especially once they improved the textures). I just can't bring myself to get invested in Star Wars anymore given Disney's handling of it thus far.
I could sort of deal with that. I just didn't like how focused it was on Michael Burnham and how she is the most important person in the universe. Star Trek is supposed to be an ensemble show, and I would dare say that it shouldn't really have a main character with the understanding that the captain gets more focus generally. It also felt like the writers didn't really like Star Trek that much and there was a lot of stuff that didn't make sense if you poked at it.
The last season of the Mandolorian wasn't even good. It spent most of it's time setting up other crap I am not interested in. There really isn't anything they can do that will make the premise for the sequels not a lazy regressive pile of garbage and it's dragging this show down with it. I didn't even bother with Ashoka since that looked like it was going to be even more of that.
Most of them don't actually spend very much time in DC. A lot of them spend half the week back in their districts or more on average.
