Sounds like a Rick and Morty alien species.

Maybe this is the larva of the Cerritos Warp Moth, named after the ship which discovered it.

I can see the argument from a certain perspective of the language, outside of context.

But remember when this amendment was passed. Right after the Civil War.

So, they wanted an amendment to bar traitors from federal office. Then they put in a section saying Congress has to actually make laws enforcing that rule, or it does nothing. And then, they didn't make any such laws?!

So, what, they went through all the work to make a constitutional amendment, and then it does nothing?

No, they clearly felt that the rule was clear enough as it was, and section 5 is there to allow Congress to make supporting laws built upon that to help enforce that rule. But that rule should have teeth on its own.

To be fair to Worf, Riker also adopted a kid ("Jean Luc", the alien with the psychic holodeck powers), and promptly forgot about him forever.

It's a candle, but I suppose if you're real determined...

I used the lottery for the same reason for a long time. Then they raised the price and lowered your chances to win even further.

Also, seeing people win a "$1Billion jackpot" and take home less than $400M after taxes, meanwhile multiple billionaires can be shown to pay $0 on taxes... It's pretty disillusioning.

Yeah... Red background, white circle, black symbol.

I would not fly this flag, if only to avoid confusion with another, infamous flag.

Those are Mormons.

What about Timmy Turner?

I feel like having fairy god parents would make pope duties a lot easier. Make his blessings a bit more potent.

Check out https://startrek.website. I don't know much about the fediverse, but if you're a Star Trek fan, it's a decent community. Bit quiet in between new seasons.
