Yeah, but if we can't transport it through Shadesmar it's not worth anything...

The stock market is feels based. That's what the stock market is all about. The feelings of investors.

The problem is that their feelings aren't based in the wellbeing of their fellow people, it's in their bank account.

"Letting natural selection do its thing" rarely only effects the people we assume deserve it. Nature is not prejudicial to morality, it kills indiscriminately.

Speaking as a perpetual wallflower who has never been to a rave in my life, I found it understandable. Admittedly I've heard the term "molly" in reference to ecstasy, but you see as guy wide-eyed staring at someone who looks incredibly uncomfortable about it. Seems pretty obvious that's the "molly bear" that uses "prolonged eye contact" to make "uh-ohs" so uncomfortable that they either leave or at least don't come to another one.

Well, if it's using the term in the same way as the first couple panels, it's a big hairy gay man.

The red scare, you mean where people were swimming in propaganda and hate of the unknown?

Yeah, so surprising that their critical thinking skills atrophied...

When you’re jiggling around in your pocket for it and there’s other coins in there too, it becomes harder to do.

Well, sure. Adding many variables usually makes anything harder to do. But that generally just means it takes a little more effort.

Are your hands horribly mangled or something? Am I bringing up something hard for you to deal with?

My guy, I'm almost as old as you. I just haven't given up yet.

If you want to give, that's fine. You can enjoy your schadenfreude while the world burns around you, I'd rather at least think about doing something about it.

Man, you didn't read past the part of the article you linked that "proved" your point, did you?

Section 2:

If said species has achieved the commensurate level of technological and/or societal development as described in Appendix 1, or has been exposed to the concepts listed in section 1, no Starfleet crew person will engage with said society or species without first gathering extensive information on the specific traditions, laws, and culture of that species civilization. Then Starfleet crew will obey the following.

a) If engaged with diplomatic relations with said culture, will stay within the confines of said culture's restrictions.

b) No interference with the social development of said planet

Emphasis mine.

No I’ve recognized the virus-like existence of humans for the bulk of my 43 years.

So do most of the people who vote (or don't vote) for this shit. Maybe we should stop focusing so much on how much everyone else sucks and start trying to help each other.

People giving up is what got us into this position.
