Pictures of space are photoshopped, as is the giant photo of space that the scientists have pasted upon the firmament to fool you.

Why are you more angry about a stunt that did no damage than you are about actual ecological damage done by oil companies for profit?

These kids today, always writing things down and reading them. Scrolls! In my day we remembered things! Remember that? Course not, we didn’t write it down and your memories are all mush because kids these days are always writing things down and reading them!

Every court has standards and procedures for establishing legitimate admissible evidence and verifying it to the satisfaction of a jury. We already have plenty of law about lying under oath, perjury. What if you make a politicians’ oath of office include a duty to tell the truth when speaking in an official capacity, whether that’s in a speech, in the legislature, to a journalist or a constituent, under punishment of perjury.

The fix for OP’s problem was neither to replace his TV or disconnect it from his network, just to update the TV’s firmware, which seems…fine.

Y’all don’t use digital ph meters?

Your parent/child analogy doesn’t fit. Parents don’t physically combine to create a chimera. Parents don’t have to cease to exist so that a child can exist.

The Seven analogy also doesn’t fit, unless you’re suggesting that Tuvix is analogous to Annika+Borg, in which case Janeway was consistent: nonconsensual chimerism should be reversed.

Janeway had a duty to recover her crewmen. If Tuvok and Neelix both wanted to be recombined into Tuvix, they could have.

Janeway had a responsibility to restore her crew to their original status. Both Tuvok and Neelix were unharmed while integrated as Tuvix, therefore Tuvix remains unharmed while split back into the original individuals. If Tuvok and Neelix wished to recombine, they could both consent and do so.
