Plus if your neighbors piss you off you could accidentally have a targeting problem and melt their capital city. Whoops, sorry Vlad!

I am pretty sure my Mom have me a copy of Dare to Discipline when my kids were preschool age. I never actually considered reading it though.

You could probably name any race from Trek and justify them as Gorn food.

Angela Collier is a predominantly science based YouTube content creator but she had an interesting video on how Target shot itself in the foot by alienating their core customer base. She initially thought it would be hard to give up her regular Target visits but after the DEI debacle prompted her to boycott, she realized that she didn't need any of the crap she was buying from them. I don't think any new CEO is going to be able to convince her, or millions of similar customers, that she actually does need that crap.

I don't know any of the particulars but what if the union advised it's workers to only do the paid work? I don't see how they can be held to account for not doing unpaid work if they all refuse together.

I used to think militaries and religions had the best brainwashing capabilities but that was before Faux News.

Totally reasonable. I wish every electronic device would brick itself if it heard you talking shit about it. People are too rude to toasters.

That's perfect. It's now my headcanon too.
