But Adam Sandler movies just generally aren’t funny either. Like, the jokes aren’t good.
- Comment on It's a whole genre! 1 day ago:
Except Ben Stiller doesnt look weird and goofy like Adam Sandler. And his comedy isn’t horrible cringe either.

We poses the traits to become athletic. Does that mean that someone getting a part of a human makes them instantly athletic?
Yes, extensive training is required for either. Exactly. Thank you. You’ve just made my point.

Since it’s such an intimate affair, I wonder why they didn’t call it Pon Closs.

Pon Farr.

On the contrary; none of the episodes in all of Trek, up until your Voyager episode, states that a Vulcan’s logic and emotional suppression comes from biology. They do the opposite; Vulcans are biologically incredibly emotional and passionate. The Voyager episode doesn’t even go into detail what that biology is either.
It’s just a brain centre, like any other brain centre, that regulates emotion (humans have one too), and through training the Vulcans use to it suppress their emotions. Unless you explicitly choose to ignore all canon that comes before it.
Even within Voyager it is clear that a Vulcan achieves logic and emotional control through years of training, and that before logic and emotional control became part of Vulcan culture, Vulcans were passionate and violent. Do you deny this well established canon?

I provided direct references in OP. You decided to ignore them in favour of one selective moment in Voyager.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 5 days ago:
… you can’t be selective.
Speak for yourself.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 5 days ago:
Based on all of Star Trek. You can see the links above that Vulcans have been extremely passionate, emotional, and violent before their teachings of logic and emotional suppression.
Or you could just continue ignoring all that.
Did you know Humans also have brain centres that exist for logic and emotional regulation?
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 5 days ago:
No, but it helps. They weren’t evolved to suppress emotions.
- Comment on Vulcans are an incredibly emotional and passionate species. 5 days ago:
They very nearly did. Romulans found another way to build their society.
Enterprise explores Vulcans who have rejected the teachings of logic and emotional control, and one of them end up mentally raping T’Pol.
There have been mentioned a huge exodus, or multiple exoduses away from Vulcan, where those that rejected the philosophy of logic wanted to start anew somewhere. Romulus is the only succesful world as a result of that past.

In Strange New Worlds, Spock turns fully human for one episode. Somehow he struggles with human emotions, as if his biologically Vulcan side was responsible for keeping them at bay, and not years of discipline and training.
In Prodigy, the main character is a genetic amalgamation of alpha quadrant species. He undergoes a treatment to “unlock his genetic potential”, causing his various genetic elements to occasionally become dominant. When the Vulcan genes become dominant, the character is logical and emotionless.

What PR? The only PR Team Cherry did was make and release a damned good Metroidvania.
Since then, and uptil now, it’s mostly been silence.
Weird, huh, how fans can get excited to play a good game?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 5 days ago:
Hollow Knight was only $15 and got a lot of free DLC. The developers considered it a huge success.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 1 week ago:
That’s assuming I could even force my way through any VN to get to an ending.
I’m not a masochist.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 1 week ago:
That’s a load of crap. Visual novels are such an incredibly low bar on literally every front, if you made a comic or a novel that’s worse than a VN you’d have been actually trying to out-shit VNs.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 1 week ago:
I despise visual novels.
They lack the good writing of a proper novel.
They lack the art work a comic can provide.
They aren’t games, but are for some reason sold as one.
They a sub-par mix of things other mediums do significantly better.

Hmm…
- Daily porn actually gets boring. Porn will start to become “normal” and so you’ll get desensitised. Why would I want to desensitise myself from porn?
- No thank you. I like the occasional cocktail, but alcohol every day!? Ew no.
- I already do this. :)
- I get 8 hours sleep minimum. Can’t get less. I’ll die.
- My job involves biking… That’s technically not taking steps.
- I already don’t do this.
- That’s too bloody expensive! You think I have a tree that grows money!?

I’m not so sure. Most of the big events happen over various wars.
The Mandolorian War.
The Jedi/Sith War.
The Clone Wars.
The Rebellion.
The Resistance.
And these are just focusing on all the wars that are still canon.

I dunno. I like my chili flavoured candy.
Beside, wasn’t chocolate traditionally eaten with chili by the natives? Or was it a spicy coco drink…?
- Comment on Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, had an English teacher here in KVUC who had a very fun personality. Lo and behold six months later she was expelled from the school for sexualky harassing several guys.
Turns out she tried with me as well, but my personality is such a plank that I shrugged her off several times without even realising.
