Xariphon , to Star Trek in What Star Trek Mannerism or Phrase Do You Often Use

Takes a bit of context...

I used to LARP.
At the game I played, I became leader of one of the five Baronies of our in-game nation.
We would have barony meetings on the regular...
...at which I used to have to struggle not to give the order to "make it so."

It's just... so perfect a turn of phrase it's hard not to use. But memeing in-game is bad.

Xariphon , to Work Reform in I think minors need a union, may help with the safety issues at the work place

I think a guaranteed basic income for young people only would certainly make up for keeping them from working. Like you said, nobody having to work to live would be the ideal, but to ban people from being able to support themselves and doing nothing to make up the difference creates artificial dependence that keeps people in abusive situations with no recourse.

They are prevented from voting due to age discrimination. There's nothing physical or mental preventing most young people from voting, only cultural and legal.

Xariphon , to U.S. News in Arizona girl Alicia Navarro, missing since 2019, walks into tiny Montana police station and asks cops to take her off missing children list

That would require the law to acknowledge that young people have free will... Which it only does when they commit crimes.

Xariphon , to Star Trek in Star Trek legend Jonathan Frakes says TNG cast were “Rude” on set

The episodes he directed were consistently the best ones.

Xariphon , to Politics in Birthright citizenship is fundamental to “who we are as a nation.” So why do Republicans attack it?

Because the fewer people there are who can vote, the fewer people there are voting against them while their lunatic cult shows up every time. Exclusion and cheating are the only way they've won an election in living memory.

So pointy though

Xariphon , to aww in "i love to snuggle with you :3!"

Even when the size of a horse, cat wants snuggles.

What do you mean you've never heard of "The Laughing Vulcan and His Dog"?

Rascals is actually really problematic. A friend of mine wrote a solid analysis of why a while back; I can try n find it if anyone wants it.

Xariphon , to Star Trek in What are your favourite TNG episodes?

All of my usual go-to ones have already been said (The Inner Light, Chains of Command, etc.) so I'll add one that I think had not:

Frame of Mind

The ones directed by Jonathan Frakes in general, but that one in particular is just amazing.

Also, I think it's called "Disaster"? The one where Picard is trapped with all the kids and that one girl steps up as "Number One" for the day and then Riker lets her sit in his chair at the end. It's not a perfect episode, but it is just really heartwarming.
