So people just throw out potatoes instead of coring the eyes? Feels super wasteful to me...

Gun rights advocates love to say shootings are a mental health problem.

Maybe health insurance should prioritize mental health.

Rewatching The Search for Spock... there is an insane amount of religion in Vulcan culture.

This is such an interesting take, because I have such a different one!

I maintain that, in his anger, in his vengeance, he was right. Being exiled to Ceti Alpha 5, when no one knew that Ceti Alpha 6 had exploded years ago and destroyed the habitability of Ceti Alpha 5 (oh my God, no one thought to check on the marooned Khan and his people in fifteen years?) means that he was a victim. And there was no justice.

I still thought of Khan and his people as charismatic and strong and intelligent- but victimized by Kirk, they were correct to seek revenge. What was done to them was not justice. It was cruel and unusual punishment. I also found it a testament to their strength that they survived for 14-and-a-half years on that hellhole.

Loved your comments. Love the different perspective!

I think it's very mature of him to know how he works best, and not to try and compromise on that.

Can't wait to see Haunted Chocolatier.

It keeps popping up in my feed and I have to say... those men aren't dull.

I always end up marrying him. Every time I think I'm going to marry someone else he says he has a tiny crab in his pocket or he doesn't know why he hasn't shaved all his hair off in a fit of passion and suddenly I'm at the altar again.
