Starfleet Command Ranks
Completely unremarkable. It's just the real US Navy ranks, except with "crewman" instead of "seaman." The only thing I can think of to say about the ranking structure is in ENT, Trip is a Commander while T'Pol uses the Vulcan ranking system, which has the rank Subcommander, but she outranks him, which confused the hell out of me when I first watched the show. It's not even that Subcommander is equal to Commander, because the Vulcans also had a Commander rank. Completely impossible to explain.

If the Vulcan rank system is the same as the Romulan rank system, then it's easy to explain. In that case Subcommander would indeed be equal to the Starfleet rank of Commander, because Romulan ships have Commanders instead of Captains.

The topic title is objectively true. Right now, Trump is the 49th best President of the USA ever.

This test isn't really rating lives. It's rating how we feel about our lives. Objectively, my life is far from perfect, but it is enough. I am content.

I take the shell off. I eat everything else.

I have portrayed both straight and gay characters before. I imagine most actors have.

Will this reduce obesity in the US?

No. Junk food is a lot cheaper here than healthy food, so you often have poor people who are both malnourished and obese.

Universal constants are overrated.

I'm a universal dynamic.

No one cares. They're car accidents.

really? most were not your fault?

It's probably about 50/50.

10? 12? Somewhere around there.

That's one of the many reasons I don't drive any more.

I voted for Trump in 2016.

I'm probably voting for Biden this time.

Bonus Question:

What's the military difference between a Levy and a Conscript?

Conscripts are individuals, and levies are groups. You can have a levy of conscripts.

Biden was always going to be very pro-Wall Street, probably more so than Trump.

Yes, but I don't cook anyway.

Yes, billions of dollars are spent and tens of thousands of people work together on research, development, and distribution for a flu vaccine that ultimately causes more people to get sick.

What an absolutely atrocious take.

Nevertheless, that has been my observation. It also seems to be shared by others in this topic.

My own observation suggests that those who get flu shots are more likely to contract the flu than those who do not.

Personally, I've never had a flu shot, and I haven't had the flu in over two decades.
