The worst thing you can do is be someone you’re not. Because then the only people who like you will only like the fictional version of you. And the people who are looking for the real you won’t know it’s you they’re looking for.

Be yourself, even if that makes you unpopular. As long as you’re trying to be a decent person, someone, somewhere will find you attractive.

    Spoilers:

    • Both were diagnosed with stage 4 cancer
    • Both have already had surgery
    • Both have made a complete recovery
    • Both have been in remission for years

    This occurred in 2022 & 2023. They are both still alive because of recent breakthroughs in cancer treatment. If it had happened just years prior, they would have only been given months to live. All traces of cancer have been removed from their bodies despite it being found far-spread and metastasized in both of them. Bill required immediate surgery upon discovery, his daughter went through a period of time where she thought she was going to die.

    Bill & Melanie also host a podcast called No Time But Now, centered around their shared experiences and survival stories. https://notimebutnow.com/

    "To use this ship, you have a to use our form." - Captain Kirk

    Captain Kirk beams down to a lush planet with an away team to track down the source of a distress call. Out from the trees emerge two humanoids with expressionless faces who confidently announce to Kirk that they will take over his ship. The moment Kirk begins to protest, the aliens freeze the entire landing party in place with some sort of device. The y are held captive on the planet while more of their kind materialize on the Enterprise through the shields and systematically take over the ship. They are Kelvans from the Andromeda galaxy. They crashed in the Milky Way galaxy when their scout ship passed through the galactic barrier and they need the Enterprise to return home - a 300-year journey across the void between galaxies.

    "Astonishing. An entire culture based on this." - Commander Spock

    The Enterprise follows a transmission from a Starfleet vessel lost over 100 years ago, the Horizon. to the Sigma Iota system. Because the message was sent using conventional radio instead of subspace, it originated from a time before the Federation's non-interference laws and the crew prepares to meet a culture that has been contaminated by Human contact. Captain Kirk receives instructions to beam down from an odd-sounding person and the away team finds themselves standing in the middle of a city designed to look like Chicago in the early 20th century, surrounded by gun-toting gangsters.
