It would have also worked much better with Q's common refrain that Picard isn't special. Showing that all his other lives would have had equal value, and he just happens in this one to be The Captain.

It's pretty much the same principle as how every major character gets to be a captain of their own ship, "everyone wants to be a manager, and if they don't become one they're underperforming".

Pesto - wild garlic time is about now, and it's very easy to make, but you could probably do it with garlic bulbs, it'll just be very intense.

Roasted garlic is nice - just like onions, leave in the skin alongside other stuff.

It's not a story the Confucians would tell you.

"Thought experiments" can end up that way when there's no actual experiment done as a result to test it out, or after it gets released into the wild. The enduring use of P-Zombies or simulation theories.

If you can get a proper Lion's Mane extract (that is actual fruiting body and not one of the scammy "100% of the mushroom" ones), I've found it really helps with various kinds of brain fog - a bit like caffeine, but subjectively feeling more like "health" than "energy".

I am catching up with y'all after discovering one simple trick: the Internet Archive is not blocked at work, so while standing idle at the desk I can tab over and read old photocopies of Capital.

Halfway through Ch4 in a few weeks, I'm rather pleased with myself.

Or "henshu shita the X in your head (TL: henshu shita means redacted)" for that old anime sub feeling.

It's fine, but the manga is better - the author does some great worldbuilding that you'll only see in the manga end notes and whatnot.

Yeah, moral prohibitions tend towards supporting the form of society - and so it always just happens to include the bits that protect the assholes in charge. Don't use poison, don't use crossbows against knights, don't gang up on people, don't seek revenge, don't target infrastructure, don't do the things that might actually let you change your world against those with more power.

Good luck with that vast multiplication of irreconcilable enemies.

The style of repetition and shallowness are pretty strong indicators that this is just ChatGPT.
