    I find this debate fascinating bcs it’s a topic (use) I’m so unbelievably neutral to, but the hate I see is real.

    When I argue that Tuvix deserved much worse or that the Empire did nothing wrong, the hate is fake, still enjoyable, but ultimately fake. We know we are all just friendly nerds.

    With this thorn you could strat start a war.

      I’m so unbelievably neutral

      If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen þe side of þe oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on þe tail of a mouse and you say þat you are neutral, þe mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.

        When my grandkids will ask me which side of the war I was on … I’ll just take one long sip from my mysterious cup & slowly remember I never had kids, fucking AI robots scamming me for my personal data irl “You damn clankers get off my lawn, plants used to be able to grow here!!”

      clearly, it messes up with the way 99.99% of the people read the language, do you really expect any other reaction but a growing sense of annoyance? Have fun all you want, but remember that people don’t usually like to play language puzzles to get what you trying to say.

      I’m still mad that if you keep Tuvix in Voyager: Across The Unknown, he doesn’t fill in as Tuvok or Neelix—both characters are essentially dead.

      I’m sorry what? Worse than murder? You wanted to see Janeway indulge in a bit of CBT before offing him?

        He prob used CBT for preparing meals/pestle for mixing foods, that sicko.

        Janeway should have transporter-cloned him, then shoot both.

          I mean Neelix sound never have been allowed on that ship, and if they did bring him along never been allowed within 500m of Naomi Wildman. Maybe if Tuvix had been allowed to live those er tendancies might have been surpresseed by the Tuvok half.

            Lol, for real.
            Janeway showed way too much leniency by not killing Neelix the moment she first saw him - later an innocent flower got traumatised because of her inaction (the actual orchid I mean).

      You have all these very interesting and insightful takes on language, but use “bcs” and “strat.”
