I don’t watch star trek anymore. Havent watched SNW, haven’t watched this either, and won’t ever.

I hope one day I can go back and watch TNG or DS9 again without feeling the cringe from ST Picard.

I watched 5 episodes of STD and dumped it, it was awful CGI slop. I regretfully watched the nu trek movies and they’re literally much worse remakes of earlier star Trek movies.

Then came ST: Picard, which has managed to ruin even TNG for me for a long, long time. I knew it would be terrible but everyone and their mother was repeating the aggressive marketing campaign that it would be absolutely awesome and ooooohhh god it was bad. They fucking ruined Q… That pissed me off.

Want to watch the true successor to star trek, in heart and mind? Wat h the Orville. Seasons 1 &2 are awesome, 3 kinda went into the same shit direction like star trek with longer episodes, weaker stories and much, MUCH more CGI to make up for it and hope we wouldn’t notice. Season 3 is still not AS bad as nu trek, but it’s close. 1&2, though, best trek since DS9, they even have their TBOBW moment!

SNW had a holodeck episode

Ahhh FFS. That sort of crap is too why I stopped watching star trek, completely. Star Trek used to be made by people who loved the show, now it’s a cash cow being milked to death and they hope with adding know actors and loads of CGI that we won’t notice. Hell, when the producers said they don’t really care much about Star Trek, that should have set off some alarm bells but nope, all good.

Yeah, no. Republicans and sharing are two words that won’t fit into the same sentence

This is exactly what people said would happen when citizen united happened yet nobody did anything yonstopmor reverse it. It’s not like Democrats didn’t have the option to do so, they just didn’t care either

What the US needs is a parliamentary democracy

That is, besides it needing to break up into 50 independent countries because it’s obvious by now that a few of the states are dead set of fucking everyone else over just to ensure their racism, bigotry, and religion gets forced down everyone’s throat everywhere.

Let it break in into independent states, and the red states will turn into third world banana republic dictatorships within a few years and won’t be able to feed their own population. They’ll get what they want for themselves and the rest of the US states can independently continue becoming civilized nations.

Narrator: they didn’t

It wouldn’t surprise me in the least that some American soldier has no idea of the concept “different language” and that place names may sound and mean something different.

With reading this I’m always amazed that incidents like the rust movie still happen.

If you set things up like this where everyone checks each other as well, it becomes really hard to somehow get a bullet on set, and then in a gun…

The woke force in magnets has gone too far!

Tax them?

Prohibit them

I want a world wide hard cap on personal wealth. Nobody should have more than 10 million in personal net worth. Helo, even a million might be on the high side, but cap it somewhere there.

Anything over that, 100% to taxes

You don’t have to change away from capitalism, it’s fine, it works well to generate loads of wealth and as long as there are hard caps, nobody will get crazy rich, governments will get loads in income for free healthcare, free education, hell, even universal basic income

Point is: nobody should be either crazy wealthy or crazy powerful.

Having said that, add powerto that list too. Nobody should be able to be president, too much power. Nobody should be able to singlehandedly declare or start a war just because he’s a pedophile and needs a distraction. Nobody should be able to just overrule judges and liberate their cronies for money

And after all that don’t think the US is off the hook. It needs a complete overhaul, politically, justice systems, and so on, and I’d say, split up into the 50 states it has, but now each state being an independent country. (Same for Russia and China, btw)

Thats why you want open source software, its the only software you can trust, its the only software that won’t fuck you over

This post goes perfect with your username

Don’t hold your breath

I’m sure the current system will collapse, I’m also pretty sure that whatever comes after isn’t going to be much different or better. It’ll definitely not be “lets share honesty and fairly”, it’ll more be like “have you heard of this new thing called the tricked down effect?”

Stop censoring please. This is the Internet, you can say fuck removed asshole shit boobs and what not more…

On topic: right wing extremists were never known for their high intelligence

11 year old boy who barely understands the consequences of his actions obviously has access to weapons and then shoots his dad…

This is extremely tragic but this obviously being the US, you can bet your ass that this little boy’s life hasn’t been ruined enough.

The government will jump on this, jail his ass as an adult because I don’t know why they have laws for kids of they try all kids like adults anyways, and they’ll make sure he’ll be fucked for life.

The US is a shit hole third world banana republic

Of fuck right off Jack Thompson

No, violent games do not make violent people and stop suggesting it, we’ve already spent a few decades getting rid of that nonsense

JFC, selling access to a fake war board for 1 billion dollars sounds like Austin Powers levels of grifter evil

Trump is such a sad little worthless man

The US is awesomely amazing at invading other countries. This is a simple fact sustained by history

Having said that

It’s also a simple fact, sustained by history, that America suckw beyond badly at occupying conquered territories. Iraq, anyone? Afghanistan anyone?

And those had relatively easy climates. Greenland is a fucking horror show with which the US has little experience

Any occupation of Greenland by the US WILL fail eventually, the question is just how many US soldiers will have to die before it’s decided that maybe just maybe this wasn’t a good idea.

The only way it would could possibly work is a complete genocide, kill or forcibly remove ALL citizens. This of course would be a humanitarian catastrophe with very few examples in history, but I wouldn’t put it past the cheeto.

This all goes to ignore people living in the US. If you invade Venezuela, Mexico, Canada, Greenland… Do you really think that none of its citizens that currently live in the US might get ideas? Then what? You’re going to round those all up too?

Once the US invaded one of its allies, the current administration will be over, it’s just a matter of time before it will bleed to death

To paraphrase a cool movie: There is no winning move, except not to play

last straw

Really? The last straw happened in the beginning of his previous administration

Entire bales of hay followed, I’m buried under straws and I can barely breathe.

I think “last straw” is very relative.at best.

I’m slightly-centrist left and very very much believe that universal healthcare is the only way to do healthcare well.

I don’t think you’ll find many centrists believing what is states there unless it’s about the US because in the US, centrists is just racist Nazi’s undercover.

The US always has been an extremely hard line right for decades. Even “leftist” politicians there have opinions that may make a right wing politician in Europe blush l, so what can you expect from “US centrists” except more right wing bullshit?

Don’t conflate UD centrists with centrists elsewhere, they’re not the same

I gotta say… As bad as Nvidia’s drivers are (obligatory fuck you Nvidia with a Linux middle finger), I’ve never really had a lot of trouble installing the drivers. It’s always been fairly straightforward with some shitty installer program, but it almost always worked.
