When I’m talking about the government, I’m not talking about some shadow government like the Bundesregierung of German or the president of the US. I’m talking about the deep state government

Are you implying that pandemics are created by the government and spread by governmental drones?

Humans: colonize the global south
Also humans: live in the global south

We should stop thinking about humans, bacteria and viruses as monoliths

Someone summoned their ancestors

It’s the same picture

Is that even allowed? Because I don’t think so

Maybe you can reinterpret the legs as a outline of a structure of some kind?

Inflation hits all of us

People are afraid of AIs taking their jobs but this cat is literally doing the same thing I do everyday

I wear my tinfoil cap to keep people from socializing with me.

We are not the same.

So that’s what happens on the last line, I see

All bishops found a church on B5

Or at least give them hats, too!

Don’t open it! It’s a trap!

People meters away have faces

There is a ghoti swimming in your veins

So I guess you used the Gregorian calendar in your last comments, I see. Call me old school but I prefer the Julian calendar.

But I see your point now. The 19th is over and will never come back. A new 19th will come and claim their place but it won’t be the same ever again. Your package will never arrive but you will keep up hoping until the end. Hope for the sake of hoping. I honestly admire that attitude. It’s almost absurdist.

I use the French Republican calendar from 1793 because I’m so anti American, I use nothing except for metric systems. You?

Steve Shives (I hope I got the spelling correct) made a video why conservatives like star trek and a part of it is they see it as stories of other worlds and by doing so ignore all the allegorical implications. “A planet where people have the false gender assigned to them at birth? How truly alien!”

And to be fair: escapism is a legitimate goal of scifi and media in general. You watch scifi to enter a different world, for at least an hour a week be free of all your problems in the here and now.
