I don't see how any democratic government can force civilians to work if they're unwilling to do so. The word for that is slavery.

I thought that Enterprise. Except Riker is the participant.
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.

The second half of season 2 is okay in my book. The space battle with Control in the denouement is pretty great, and I enjoyed the characters of Pike and Spock but I do find the whole Red Angel plot line to be convoluted. My biggest issue with the show altogether is that I think they focus on Stamets and Culver's relationship too much. I feel the same way about Adira and Grey later in the show. I know that Star Trek like to push boundaries with non traditional relationships, but I just didn't care about these characters or their relationships. It was usually during these scenes that I found my mind wandering. I've found Trill interesting since Dax in DS9, but it's like they forgot Adira even has Tul with her after a few references early on. How you make two characters that shared the same symbiote boring is beyond me.
I am doing a second pass through Discovery, even though it's not my favorite series. Watching season 4 right now. Last night was s4e5 The examples, where Deputy Secretary Errinwright from The Expanse shows up as a know-it-all scientist that rubs Stamets the wrong way.
Years from now you'll remember the good times and the shitty days won't be rembered often. Kids idolize their parents whether we're worthy or not. My house is a mess too. We are all just getting by some days. Don't beat yourself up. Try to make tomorrow a little better.
This happened to my parents in the 90s in Florida. They did a consultation with a lawyer and he told them to stop paying rent. So they did. Saved the money and used it to make a downpayment on their first house. I don't know if it still applies but it's probably worth a look.
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.
