She was Phoenix empowered during a good chunk of Morrison's run. I've always interpreted it as she's Omega level telepath only by herself, but rises to the level of an Omega telekinetic while actively empowered by the Phoenix force.

Omega mutant was never cleanly defined until Hickman's recent run, it was previously just kind of used as a general gauge of defining someone as insanely strong.

They should of paid her what she wanted and let her have the reduced role. Her arc was pretty complete anyways, we just needed a conclusion to the overall story of ds9 at that point.

Still gutted for Worf.

Yeah sure, but if she was getting written of, why not have the biggest shitheel be the cause?

[Salodin]

Oh for sure, it couldn't be anyone else

I'm doing some looking back now and apparently Teen Jean said she was an omega telekenetic with her telepathy limited to turning people gay, but in Krakoa Hickman listed her as an omega telepath, I assume to differentiate between her and Exodus.

Morrison had her doing insane TK feats during his entire run but I guess telepathy was the last word on the matter since she was dead almost the entire time between New X-Men and HoX/PoX.

Went looking and you're right. It was supposed to be Exodus' thing but she's been retconned back into being an omega tk. As an aside, I've always hated that magneto is omega level. I fucking hate how fucking OP he just is.

[Demosthenes]

I cannot for the life of my fathom why the fuck Storm and Magneto's powers aren't just the same fucking thing.

[Krandor]

In theory Magneto should be able to do everything Storm can since her power is largely built around the idea of manipulating the electromagnetic field of whatever planet she's on, which is obviously also within Magneto's wheelhouse.

I mean, she wanted to leave the show.

She didn't. She wanted pay equal to the other cast members, and the ability to act on other projects (which other actors like Siddig and Meany had).

She didn't want more pay, her contract was up and she tried to negotiate a reduced schedule for the final season because she had been cast in Becker. They couldn't come to agreement so she left and they killed off Jadzia.

She wanted to leave the show. There are qualifiers to the statement but it doesn't change that she was done with Berman after requesting reduced time/more pay. She went off to go be in a sitcom.

The current state of humanity and the internet is surely doing irreparable damage to the brains of billions of people. We as humans weren't meant or designed to interact with this many people daily or consume so much information. Algorithms pushing slop and bots arguing with trolls and AI becoming so interwoven in every aspect of your daily life. Being forced to question what and who is real, what agenda is being pushed.... I understand the total desire to just disappear

Essentially, you would need a set of core websites/platforms that follow a set of protocols that disallow/punish the behaviors that make the current internet shitty, they establish a green zone, and you grow from there.

fuck yeah. this is the guy i'm voting for

[Milkster]

I wonder how expensive it would be to make a streaming network maded up fully of shows and movies that were canceled by studios or producers before the intended series finale.

[Zealot]

That would be a good side business for my mall made up of stores that went out of business.
