They're probably including people watching online or on TV. Which makes those numbers even more pathetic.

Is the US finally on track to build a high-speed rail network? in c/[email protected]

Except we actually had nationwide, first class rail infrastructure in the 1800s. Most of it has since been torn up or laid fallow and left to rot.

'We Don't Do Kings': Mass Protests Planned to Counter Trump's Birthday Military Parade in c/[email protected]

It's because Trump wasn't born. He was spawned from the very pits of hell.

Trump looked unbeatable on the economy. Then he launched a trade war. in c/[email protected]

He started a trade war? You mean the thing he said he was going to do on the campaign trail, over and over again? So why would anyone think he would ever be good for the economy!?

Seemingly because their stock price started to fall due to the Trump admin's reaction. Which, what? Why would that negatively impact their stock?

There's a house near me that has recently put up a flag that has "Thank you Elon Musk" written on it. Absolute morons.

ICE Detains U.S.-Born Citizen Despite Judge Seeing Birth Certificate in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 months ago

It's the end of Trump's "First 100 Days." He's floated invoking the Insurrection Act and declaring martial law at that time, although I'm also seeing that he's suggested doing that as soon as the 20th.

Repetitive Epics (lemmy.world)
 

Garak asserts to Bashir that the Repetitive Epic is the finest form of Cardassian literature. I was wondering, is there any real-life literature that could be considered a "repetitive epic" in the same vein as "The Neverending Sacrifice?"

Vulcan Sex Workers (lemmy.world)
 

It has occurred to me that Vulcan must have some form of sex industry to handle those going through Pon Farr who aren't currently married or otherwise involved. Otherwise, they'd have constant issues with violence from those suffering the "blood fever" whose spouse was far away, or had died, or for some other reason had no one to mate with.

Given Vulcan attitudes towards sex, it's probably kept out of sight, and is only "officially" available to those experiencing their "Seven Year Itch," but it has to exist, right?

What is the purpose of Voyager's miniature transporter? (lemmy.world)
 

In Voyager's transporter room, there is an alcove on the side, and embedded in the wall is what appears to be a small transporter pad. I don't believe anyone is ever shown interacting with this, so there's no definitive explanation for what it is. Assuming it is what it appears to be, what would be the purpose of a very small transporter like this?
