Pope Francis' Catholic church reform process ends without giving more equity to women
  • Eh they could do whatever they want. They could declare that "the point in time has been reached that god wanted women to be able to be priests from. His plan has always been that women were not allowed to be priests until a certain date had passed, and now that date has arrived."

  • One of the most infuriating things
  • It's not just you, neurotypicals on the receiving end of that hate it too. Everyone gets told that garbage line once in a while. It's always said by someone on a power trip, they're trying to put you down into a place beneath them

  • I just realized why some people hate replicated food...
  • You're not thinking about replicator/transporter technology as broadly as it's capable of. There could be hundreds of versions of each individual dish. In fact there could be variation algorithms that make it seem like a unique preparation every single time. And people could simply ask for how they want it prepared, like "roasted peppers, spicy" in the same way they ask for "earl gray, hot".

    Even further, transporter technology is the most over powered technology in the whole start trek universe. It's a thread you can't start pulling at otherwise the whole fictional universe falls apart.

    For example you could kill anyone anywhere without a trace just by transporting a dose of cyanide into their blood. There would be no hallways wasting valuable space inside the ship, people would simply be transported to wherever they wanted to go (aside from a network of small tunnels for emergencies if the transporter is down). And there would be no need for more than a single docking bay at most, just make the entire hull a single sealed surface and transport the entire shuttle and it's contents inside. Possibly most universe-breaking is that you'd be able to replicate anything, even equipment. Instead of just one enterprise you could replicate it and have a thousand enterprises, or a million enterprises!

    I would guess that the writers have imposed some weird limitations on the tech that would prevent these types of scenarios, but i can't imagine any that could validly apply to what we've seen transporters do in all the various episodes.

  • I just realized why some people hate replicated food...
  • There's no technological reason why there couldn't be hundreds of versions of each exact dish. In fact they could've even had a simple variation program so that every time it's made it comes out a bit different

  • Trump gets surprising news on his performance from a shocking poll
  • Whether or not this poll is real doesn't matter. The reality is that this election is literally a 50-50 coin toss right now, so you have to do everything you can to help Harris win!!! Volunteer to make calls, speak to your friends and family and make sure they have a specific plan to go vote, offer car rides or baby sitting to help people actually get to the voting booth, - whatever you can think of doing!!!

  • Is it normal to feel tired of technological progress?
  • If i could freeze technology at a particular era it wouldn't be the 80s. I think i would pick some time after social media existed but before it was weaponized. So like maybe early 2010's. Up through about the early 2010s it seemed like tech was constantly making life better, but since then it seems like tech is increasingly making life worse
