Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Well, in that case he surely wouldn’t mind getting a shot of rabies virus, probably mixed with Ebola and Marburg. Just germs, nothing to worry about!
What doesn't kill him only makes him dumber and more dangerous
Rabies 100% mortality mate
Nononono the worm eats the rabies, goes rabid, but then it becomes a symbiotic connection like the Symbiont Trill in ds9. Crazy stupid guy + rabid symbiont worm = ???? Profit?
more like the parasites in tng, that was controlling starfleet command until they killed the queen, just right before it had sent a signal into the delta quadrant.
Is that the one with lieutenant Barkley where he gets really smart?
different episode. the opening scence was picard meeting secretely with 3 other captains on a planet to discuss the strangeness/acting of starfleet commands, they were moving "people around diffent star bases),,,etc. sometime later an admiral came on board, and he wanted to show riker something, it was the parasite, when riker saw the parasite, the "infected admiral overpowered him. more or less like the goauld that gives immense strentgh to its host.
you can type tng parasite on youtube.
I kind've remember it. I wonder if those parasites are related to the canon trill symbiotes.
It's not that they don't think the diseases exist, it's just that they're invisible so are undoubtedly evil spirits, and thus all tactics you would use against evil spirits are equally effective.
