I believe that we reunite in the afterlife



Oh god, how depressing. I don't
don't even want to be united
with the people I know in this
life. Especially family members.

It just seems like eternity, it's really
not. But we all do live in the
eternal moment, ya know..

If EvenBob spent an eternity in the afterlife, would he ever run out of things to complain about?

This is the kind of question philosophers of old should have contemplated.

All those old guys around the
stove in the general store,
what do you think they were
doing except complaining.

Data legit thought that hard 13 against a 10 was correct basic strategy. The episode played it out as if he was right and the woman was a fool for hitting. Worst episode ever, pardon my french. At least in the recent season of GLOW, when Sam tells Ruth to stand on 12 against a 3, it's forgiven cause he's a bit of an idiot.


The various gambling inaccuracies in the episode are unfortunate, but damn it if it isn't one of my favorite TNG episodes, simply because I love gambling and Star Trek. So many good lines...

"Why my blind Grandma could roll a six!" I say this sometimes at the craps table on a six point.

Tex: Say, you ain't one of them card-countin' fellas', are you?
Data: The number of cards and their values remain constant. What would be the point in counting them?

I think they were listening politely to the fiddle player who is depicted therein.

If my memory is correct, I read that cops find people passed away on the toilet. The body goes through stress during that time. I also read that cops go through the deceased wallet to remove anything that their spouse would not want to see (call girl cards) when they give the wallet to the widow.

Even the LVPD claims a total of 121 murders in the ENTIRE CITY in 2018, and only a fraction of those would be in hotels.

only 121 murders is a very low number
