Wasn't the cardassian holographic doctor on Doogie Howser?

I think it's very context dependent.

Pharmacists often recognize me and I'd rather they didn't. But I get it. I'm there almost every week for something.

My favorite bubble tea place now recognizes the car I drive so they will prepare my tea as I'm parking and it's ready by the time I get to the counter. I did tell them that on occasion I'll order something different but I appreciated it nonetheless.

We already know he lies on air. I'm not saying he's lying but him doing so to get more people to buy his shitty products is very plausible.

Unless they have a plan on how they will continue to extract wealth after the working class is gone, then they are short sighted and will be food for the ultra rich who plan on exploiting them.

Close. You can't be tried at the federal level. You can be tried at the state level (specifically New York) but even if you are convicted, judges will essentially commute your sentence.

.world admins subscribe to a "both sides are the same" approach and it's simply not compatible with folks who are actively engaged in, let's say, supporting and defending democracy.

This community is on .world so their rules apply. Your instance is pretty chill.

It's only the same dynamic if shooters are running into legislative buildings.

But they (the alt right) are assassinating politicians who are at home or alone.

We'll leave it at that

If Trump can pardon a corporation, he will find a way to keep Lindall from paying a penny.

We are no longer in a land that observes law and order.

My understanding is that 1-800-gambler is how casinos were able to be legalized in Maryland. Instead of paying taxes, casinos have to pay some fixed cost to fund anti-gambling programs.

I'm gonna take a stab in the dark that this billboard is just as effective as any program that is funded by the casino industry.

No I mean our electoral system. I'm not saying voters aren't at fault. They completely are.

But fear is a much more powerful motivator than hope or even the future. (Read: conservatives)

It's much easier to get people scared about some nameless boogyman who is going to invade your house than it is to get people excited about a future of rainbows and lollipops.
