While I understand that it has become a bit of #StarTrek trivia that if you look closely, you can see that Scotty is missing the middle finger on his right hand in a few brief shots, as James Doohan lost his right middle finger in WWII, there is no need to digitally remove Martin Quinn's right middle finger when he plays Scotty (like in #StarTrekSNW's "Hegemony"↖️). In "Wolf in the Fold"↗️ and "Relics"↘️, in longer close-ups of Scotty's right hand, he is not missing his middle finger, as a hand double was used. Also, in all of #StarTrekTAS ("One of Our Planets is Missing"↙️), he has all 10 fingers.
There is no need to write an episode in which Scotty loses a finger because he still has all of his fingers, as seen in these screenshots. The fact that James Doohan was missing a finger was cleverly hidden on the show and there is no need to feature this fact because, as I said, he still has all 10 fingers as seen in the screenshots.

Atari 2600 Myst Demake -- finished

""I have been inside the longtermist movement. I was a true believer. Longtermism was my religion after I gave up Christianity – it checked all the same boxes, except that for longtermists we must rely on ourselves to engineer paradise, rather than supernatural deities."

I'm glad that @xriskology wrote about this angle because a number of influential leaders in the TESCREAL bundle come from similarly highly religious christian backgrounds.

Longtermism poses a real threat to humanity

I used to be a longtermist. That doesn’t mean what you think it does: longtermism is not the same as long-term thinking. We need more long-term thinking in the world, given that human-caused climate c

"saying 'I love you' too often to too many people cheapens the phrase 😕"

LOL skill issue, bitch. I unlocked the extended magazine on my I Love You rifle and equipped the speed reload perk. I'm clapping my friends with it every single match, 100% headshot accuracy.
