Honestly the thing they were most excited about while I was in Hamburg (technically Wedel) was asparagus season. It was white, unseasoned, boiled asparagus and it was...fine. But they were so pumped about it.

I was told that by someone I was working with in Hamburg. When I asked him for an example of Northern German culture, he thought about it for a moment, and then shrugged.

I think it's weird that the movie studio that seems to be doing the most to save the movie experience is also the studio that insists on continuing to release crappy Spider-Man-Adjacent movies no one really wants

Some people are saying there's a lot of thumb biting going on. I asked him sir, do you bite your thumb at me, and he said no sir. Because that would be a bad thing? These thumbs...I hear a lot about how I have small hands, but look at these hands. Big thumbs, huge. Can you imagine if I bit that?

Sure but it's a chicken and egg situation isn't it? Why are sports and drinking so heavily interlinked? I'd love to see some sociology studies on it. You're right on both counts BUT 1) alcoholism is likely underrepresented 2) catering to sports-obsessed "whales" keeps the lights on.

If you want an honest answer, it's because gambling and alcoholism are similar if not pathologically linked. And sports coverage almost exclusively caters to gamblers.

We just watched the Gen X episodes on rerun in syndication. But honestly I'm really stretching to think of kids and family sitcoms where that ever featured heavily. Most blended family shows started with the other parent already gone (Nanny, Who's the Boss, Step by Step, Full House, etc)

Don't know which episode you're referring to specifically but generally there are a lot of colonies that aren't "official". During TNG, Bajor was still annexed into Cardsssian territory and official Federation borders weren't that close. Refugee camps you see on screen aren't Federation.

Can't have more than two parties without getting rid of FPTP voting. FPTP voting naturally coalesces around two parties. Even if a third party rises, it will eventually absorb the weaker party more aligned with it.

Poverty is canonically eliminated in the Federation. Any time you see a planet that's struggling they're either colonists who want to do things the hard way or they're not Federation.

I'm not an expert but people want to live in places with services and work. If they can't attract industry, and they can't build services for tourism or wfh infrastructure...why does the town need to continue to exist?

The conceit of this article is that deep red small towns are important to the US, according to small towns. There's a reason people don't want to live there, and agriculture will survive without them (how does Europe do it, after all?). It's hard to shed a tear for communities that refuse to evolve
