Haha maybe Picard had set it up to only say that to Data.

Everyone else was allowed to do it.

Yeah there's plenty he does wrong without pretending he's still got enough core strength to lean forward quickly and not fall over.

The most he can do is poke Zelenskyy's arm over and over when he wants him to stop talking.

My small dog does the exact same thing, probably a couple of times a week (he has all 4 dew claws).

It's just so clear to me from the video (even the clip-chimped ones) that it's a yelp of surpise, and the offending body part is the paw she lifts up after.

Correlation vs causation

Yeah but without the benefit of fewer murders happening.

Just preventing effective dissent against a profit-first organisation.

We certainly could get rid of the servile elements of this and just have a "team".

One partner can be stay at home (it doesn't even have to be the same partner every day) to handle admin and support while the other does some kind of labour.

But yeah that would keep unemployment too low and is therefore not something elites want changed.

No, but if it's not the one in the meme that sort of defeats the point of the comparison.

Same as if you compared the breakfast in this meme to a scene where he's just eating the banana.

Isn't one a feast and one a breakfast?

"More effort" isn't "didn't come for him"

Think about how much airtime national news outlets have been giving to El Sayed being friends with Hasan Piker, vs those dumb placards that Nepo baby running against Mamdani had (i forget the name).

Probably tens of millions of dollars in just anchor-person salary spent on talking nonsense on El Sayed and his ethnicity, vs making a poster with skin and beard darkening (of Zohran).

Honestly i thought they'd just be waiting, sharpening their knives so they could just tie up everything he tried to do as Mayor and then use him as an example of the failures of socialism.

But yeah all quiet on that front so far.

I get it, but i honestly think that a big reason the establishment didn't come at him harder was that he wasn't a threat to most establishment careers.

If he'd have been US-born, i think they'd have put more effort into coming for his reputation.
