So what’s your ideal scenario for what should have happened? US authorities apprehend the former President, charge him with no crimes, and ship him out of the country?

I am not versed in how the ICC works. Are /were there indictments or the equivalent? What grounds would a President have for detaining and removing a predecessor?

I use Kbin and I see it as “removed by moderator.”

I bet this will be as lucrative as twitch streaming.

Crewed vs uncrewed is a decision made at the very beginning of the planning stages, years ago. These days a crew is just a gigantic extra expense on a mission with little return. Remotely operated missions can achieve all their scientific objectives.

Star Trek: Year Five - four-volume trade paperback (from the comic books)

Outstanding pacing, art, and characterization. Uhura really gets a chance to show her expertise in communications. Several connections to the original series, but they don’t feel like they’re just awkwardly-forced name checks.

I just came here because Reddit torpedoed third-party apps.

I can’t remember if Milo or Binkley said it, but “there are no moral absolutes in a complex world.”

One of the reasons you don’t know Detmer was they made a conscious decision to make a “one main character” show instead of an ensemble show. They were consciously not trying to develop anyone but Burnham, and to a lesser extent Saru, then Stamets.

Where does quality news come from if people aren’t willing to pay for it?

“I can't imagine it would have been good, but boy do I wish I existed in a universe where this movie had been made.” — This is the perfect reaction and I cannot improve on it in any way.

There are self-appointed moderators over there who browse new and downvote anything that doesn't fit their vision. I was one of them, looking for certain "offenses." For instance if someone posted run-of-the-mill war news in an "interesting" sub, with nothing at all novel or intriguing about it, I would downvote it. So I guess I've got my gates to keep too.

But yeah, I had the same thing happen to me in a couple subs. I posted what I thought was perfectly relevant content, and it would attract a few downvotes right away, and then, usually, climb back up as less-zealous people read it.
