Nothing - it's a TV show and we should consider it a huge What if? Not trying to match our history/timeline to the IPs history/timeline.

Besides our history is starting to look worse than the Bell Riots. Just ask California governor. He may not have created a Sanctuary in San Fransisco but he is criminalizing homelessness.

She's my heroine.

Not that I condone any of this, but consider that the cultural disgust of marrying a girl under the age of 18 is a more recent and modern taboo. Back then, in rural United States, it wasn't an issue at all. Heck as a Gen X kid whose parents were from the Silent Generation, my mother married her first husband when she was 16 and he was 22. She never thought it was an issue other than she regretted marrying anyone at the age. But her parents, church, and teachers didn't think it was a problem.

It's hard to believe because most people might say Elvis lived in modern society but he's not. The 20th century was full of changes that we don't really think about.

I shocked that such a good Christian would allow his children to play Pokemon. I was told by a pastor a few years back that Pokemon was evil, Satan's cards, etc., and that no good Christian family would allow their children to play it.

I guess he's a good political chameleon ! I mean he changed his stance on Trump.

It was only relevant when the corps didn't have it.

And...no one (people I know) believes me when I tell them who the homeless are. Every one just holds onto the concept that they are just mentally-ill people who need to be in an institution. When I explain that any person's mental health decreases the longer they live without a home, a job, and a family for support. Homeless people end up turning to drugs because they can't stand the fact that their ability has decreased so much that a drug-induced hallucination is better than reality.

Newsblur is definitely my go-to. I love that I can train it to filter out toxic topics for me. It's not 100% as sometimes the topic is just a repeat of the title.

But 90% of the time I can and it does.

This is the end of Season 2 of Picard!! Borg Queen only assimilates those you want to be assimilated.
