Man I just love being undesirable in every country due to my beliefs, lifestyle, or lack of a degree.

I take it as more "the democrats are doing nothing AFTER losing the race except ask for more money to sit on their collective asses, resign 'in protest'," and ultimately not solve any problem week after week.

It's less "both sides same" and more "COME ON GET UP AND DO SOMETHING BIG AND USE TACTICS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED UNTHINKABLE 20 YEARS AGO BUT REPUBLICANS DO OPENLY BECAUSE NOBODY STOPS THEM!"

If it's supposed to be "both sides same" then yeah, 100% "no it's the children who are wrong"

Had that happen on Amazon and ebay multiple times

I always tell them I'll only increase it one star and the reason for the change will be the first thing anyone sees in the review, even above the original review.

So far I've only had one taker.

Leave it alone.

Power move: come in and vomit on the boss's desk, car, or their person.

It's making ten billion calculations per second and they're all wrong!

I'll die on this hill.

Janeway made the practical call, the one that maximized survival for the entire crew.

As one entity on a starship with limited manpower and no resupply guaranteed, they need all the people they can get.

Yes, neelix and kess weren't going to be on board originally. That is irrelevant at the time of his Tuvixation. He's there, and they can't afford to lose him, regardless of how atrocious his leeola root stew is.

Not to mention that tuvok played a very important role for Janeway, one that I don't believe tuvix could handle. He was the one who reminded her of the "proper" thing to do that follows protocol. He's the cool head. The logical one who remains calm when everyone else loses their shit. Chakotay isn't on that level. Tuvix was too emotional.

Janeway made the right call.

Because mom would be sad and my dogs wouldn't understand.

The thing I like about that one, and other references like that in comedy shows (especially animated) is that often you don't need the pop culture reference, it fits with the zany comical nature of the show. It's not outside the norm, or at least not far.

And with the comic above, I didn't NEED to hear/know the song to get the joke. I didn't think it was "you'll find your drill on blueberry hill" but I figured it was something about a song and something that rhymed with "hill".

It was easy to search, too.

My wife has been watching some of the shows I loved growing up, and she's only 2 years younger than me, but because she watched modern kid shows as a kid and I watched old stuff with my parents, I get a lot of references she doesn't.

As long as you can show it to someone without the pop culture knowledge and they still find it funny, it's still a successful joke.

I am fully aware and believe there are people who can no longer exist/function in society today, and they absolutely should be reassesed with massive amounts of therapy and everything to try and reintegrate them, but not released after some arbitrary deadline.

I was simply pointing out a straw man when I saw it.
