Yes. No sentient being had to suffer and die to provide that product. So replicated meat, leather, or other "animal products" are vegan imo. But I also think concepts like vegan and vegetarian will have evolved in the replicator era.

Find a way of treating them and helping them to adjust to society without the use of coercion

But this is what I'm asking - what happens to those who will never accept help without coercion?

It does bring up a tough question though: what do we do with people who need treatment but refuse to accept it?

I bet you put tomatoes in fruit salad don't you?

"Starfleet could've sent a probe out here to make maps and take pictures, but they didn't. They sent us so we could explore with our own senses."

First season had promise.

Second season was awful, a two-part episode stretched out to a full season.

Third season was too much fan service. I love me some fan service, but I really think it was a detriment to the season. Ro Laren never should have been allowed back in Starfleet, but they brought her back just to kill her off. I would have liked to see a new antagonist besides the Borg and especially the Founders, the latter of which was never a Picard nemesis in the first place.

Old Data. Just why? Data has died twice, can we let him rest? It cheapens each of the two deaths beforehand.

And on top of all that the most interesting original characters, Rios and Elnor, were written off in favor of TNG Season 8.

They're literally dinosaurs in the same way that humans and other vertebrates are literally fish. Which is to say you can describe them that way taxonomically, but the saying "birds are literally dinosaurs" is misleading and disingenuous.

Homemade bread. Nothing beats the smell of fresh bread. Just took a loaf of shokupan out of my oven and the smell in my apartment is incredible.

Learn to make it yourself my dudes, it is 1000% worth it.

"Resting metabolic rate is lower in women than in men":

Granted, it's entirely possible for individual variation or for a woman to eat larger portions than she needs, but that's true of either sex.

This is the second time in this thread someone has responded to me with "end of story" or "full stop" as if those statements are some kind of trump card that removes any room for debate or changes the fact that what you said is an opinion.

They will, and I don't think that sentiment is very helpful.

This makes me think 2026 midterms could go very well.
