So, not only is this a Dark Souls bridge, it spans over an honest-to-god bottomless pit?

That's why you set the alternate/exit cases as individual if statements before whatever was going to be inside the original if block.

To me too long to learn that.

If it's not available as an Azure service it won't be used (except for uptime kuma).

What Clive Barker movie do you live in?

Nonviolence is an inherently privileged position in the modern context. Besides the fact that the typical pacifist is quite clearly white and middle class, pacifism as an ideology comes from a privileged context. It ignores that violence is already here; that violence is an unavoidable, structurally integral part of the current social hierarchy; and that it is people of color who are most affected by that violence. Pacifism assumes that white people who grew up in the suburbs with all their basic needs met can counsel oppressed people, many of whom are people of color, to suffer patiently under an inconceivably greater violence, until such time as the Great White Father is swayed by the movement’s demands or the pacifists achieve that legendary “critical mass. -- How Nonviolence Serves the State

Critical support for the collection of Dims, Ghosts, and Gimmees just trying to make a better life for themselves.

Now who can argue with that? I think we're all indebted to TheFerrango for clearly stating what needed to be said. I'm particulary glad that these lovely children were here today to hear that speech. Not only was it authentic Star Trek technobabble, it expressed a courage little seen in this day and age.

Alan Tudyk would have been a good Stamets, but Anthony Rapp has been perfection.

A lot of my head canon around this and the notable lack of automation prevalent in Starfleet: it's a futuristic, post-scarcity jobs program. Yes, it's about exploration and rendering assistance and all that. But it gives people something to do, a way to serve the whole. Picard said as much to Geordi when Scotty was aboard. I've of the many things Starfleet does is give people a sense of usefulness.

I always got the impression that the medical staff doubled as life science experts and that was the reason for the blue.

Were we watching the same speech? The one where she condemns them, but states that she doesn't have the freedom to kill someone that another might live (in this scenario, killing an alien for the sake of a crewman) and ultimately decides to turn them loose with a promise of reprisal if encountered again?
