TC_209 [he/him, comrade/them]

Picard talking to 20th Century Capitalism Man in “The Neutral Zone”; Picard talking to Lily in the movie “First Contact”; Troi talking to Mark Twain in “Time’s Arrow”; Kirk in 1980s San Francisco saying “They’re still using money,” in “The Voyage Home” – plus a whole lot more. So yeah, you’re absolutely correct.

Captain Fredrick Marx of the U.S.S. John Brown: [looks directly at camera] The Federation does not use money. We no longer strive to collect material things. The necessities of life, including education and access to information, are freely and universally available. We have eliminated poverty, hunger and curable diseases. Hierarchies, such as the chain-of-command on starships, are rare and only used when necessary; civilian life is highly meritocratic. Federation society is not perfect, but it is an improvement on what came before.

Do you condemn the violence necessary to continue the existence of the United States?

“I gave them the bombs.”

You couldn’t make Morrowind today, 'cause if you did, everyone would say, “Hey, this is Morrowind, a game that already exists and continues to be played by large numbers of people, thanks in part to the OpenMW project, which was only possible due to Morrowind’s enduring popularity.”

It’s because you knew 0.999…=1, wasn’t it? There are some things humanity was never meant to know.

You could have said nothing :)

What countries do Palestinians get to flee to, Contra?

It’s not a quiz. You brought up Hitler and his rise to power but I don’t think you actually understand how Hitler and the Nazi party gained its power. My “point” is not some grand final statement or “gotcha” moment – my “point” is the whole conversation. If you’re not willing to have a dialogue, then just delete your posts in this thread and I will disengage.

Let’s try this: What did Hindenburg less than two years after he appointed Hitler to the Chancellorship of Germany?

You don’t vote against candidates, you vote for candidates.

Hindenburg appointed Hitler to the Chancellorship of Germany.

In Fallout 3, Liberty Prime screams about killing communists and saving America while attacking the Enclave, which is the last remnant of the American government. Fallout 3 isn’t very good, but that part always puts a smile on my face.

Thank you for asking questions in good faith; it’s woefully uncommon and very appreciated.

The thing that really got 0.999…=1 to click on my mind is the fact that you can’t find a number between 0.999… and 1. You might think “Just put something at the end of 0.999…,” but there is no end to 0.999…

If a single Act transforms your nation from a democratic-republic into a totalitarian dictatorship, then it wasn’t a democratic-republic beforehand, now was it?

The Biden campaign now tells me how tough things were [during the debate]. Give me a break. No, no, I have no empathy for it. Give me a break!

It’ll be Nazi-free once you and brad_troika have had your posts purged.

Your plan is to eat shit when it should be to delete your account.
