I don't really see what's objectionable about asserting that Jesus was a prophet—according to modern usage of the word—while acknowledging that he may not have met some religions' narrow definitions of the term. I can be as pedantic and prescriptive as any 40-something internet user about topics I consider myself well-versed in, but

Words we use have meaning even if you don't like them.

is some really misplaced 'old man yells at cloud' energy.

That's interesting. I'm no spaceologist, but I wonder if that's consistent with our observations of the universe. My cursory searches lead me to believe that there's just a boatload of ice out there. I'll have to rewatch Voyager at some point, and see what the technobabble explanation is.

I think Seska was an interesting character who was ultimately hampered by her association with the Kazon. The Kazon were poorly-designed antagonists; there was nothing compelling about them, either politically or aesthetically. I love Voyager, but it's a real slog getting through Kazon space.

Maple MAGA would've been in charge if the USA didn't have their election first.

You're welcome, I guess? Best of luck to you, sincerely. I really hope that Raiders of the Lost Ark villain you've got up there never gets his clammy little hands on the levers of power. It's mind-boggling how little charisma these grifters have. Really makes me question its value as a stat.

Right? As if I needed any fucking help doing that.

Ok, so maybe (depending on the mythology one subscribes to) he wasn't a Prophet. Nevertheless, it seems inarguable that he was a prophet. Dude was mad prophetic.

I don't see how you've made your point here. Jesus being a prophet isn't mutually exclusive with his being the son of god, or so it would seem to a layperson like myself. If he can be the father, the son, and the holy ghost, it stands to reason he can be a prophet. Lots of hats, I believe he wore.

Great podcast where they go through the series, and interview some of the actors—Patrick Stewart and Patricia Quinn are definitely in there. https://maximumfun.org/podcasts/i-podius/

I really appreciate the effort you put in, here. Also, I thought the Nickelback guy was Dax Shepard for a minute.

Thank you; I made the alex jones connection right after I commented. Feels like it also works as a grim joke at the usa's expense!

Yeah, I find people's emotional investment in sports to be very strange. Not just professional sports, but the Olympics. Like, who the hell cares who can throw a ball the farthest, or jump the highest? What does that do for anyone? How is that useful, or helpful, or valuable in any way?

It's just stupid on every level that anyone gives a damn about trans people in sports. Obviously it's manufactured culture war bullshit, but the fact that it's had any kind of staying power is infuriating.
