I think you missed the point here. To the believer, evidence is not the main concern. Many Christians talk about their connection and relationship with god, which is subjective. To them, god exists because they have faith, not evidence, that it exists. Where's that faith coming from? As many others explained in this thread, it's about finding the sense of community and comfort in knowing that somebody higher us knows best in the world of uncertainty.

Crew romance doesn't play a big role in Voyager tbh, gay or not. The only proper relationship we see fleshed out is between B'Elanna and Tom Paris. We hear about Tuvok's wife, Janeway's fiance, and whatever that is between Seven and Chakotay.

It will be interesting to see Harry dating men but I don't see a pairing on the bridge.

It depends on what you're wiping off. If it's for drying yourself after a shower, then I'd just use my big bath towel to dry every part of my body since they should all be clean by that point. I sometimes use an extra towel for my hair since I have long hair and it needs some extra fabric to help dry out.

What a read. We thought the world is getting smaller as people connect with each other through social media, and yet we are worlds apart on this one. These rich people just can't fathom a life without a yacht. To them, it's not luxury, it's a necessity, just like you and I need water. No matter how much education they might have had, it's not enough to get through their thick skulls to make meaningful change with their lifestyles.

Why are we surprised? The more we consume, the more we emit.

Good bot by not doing your job.

Structural decline means that energy usage and carbon emissions are becoming less correlated.

A simple declining emission can be due to lower energy use during an economic slowdown (like during Covid, when there were lower levels of economic activity). The latter doesn't mean a country is using cleaner energy, but structural decline does.

Edit: explained more.

For how much he says "funny" in this, the series wasn't very funny.

Animator vs. animation (www.youtube.com)
 

I don't know who greenlit this supposed celebration of TAS, but the writing is cheap, lowbrow and cringey. It's a total shame that the amazing animation and sound design are paired with this quality of writing. None of the three eps released so far impressed me.

I'm seriously shocked by the Youtube comments that found it funny. The latest one is literally supposed to be funny because it involves boogers. Paramount should be ashamed it spent money on this. Have they stopped for a moment to think if this is what TAS fans want? /rant

 

In celebration of the original Voyager's return in her full glory in Lower Decks season 4, it's high time to have another listen to the Prodigy theme written by Michael Giacchino.

If you've only listened to the theme in the Prodigy opening, you would have missed the solemn but beautiful buildup to the epic second half. To me, the first part shows a yearning and curiosity toward space exploration, much like a child looking at the stars and thinking when I can be up there. And in the middle of that imagination, the music shoots up, and you suddenly find yourself in a starship whizzing through planets and nebulas at warp 9.

It's such beautiful and epic music. So underrated.

 

The part about trek at 2:26.

 

Also missing is the catchphrase "Every series. Every episode." I wonder why, Paramount?
