Just get a bigger fence

  Wil’s got a point, guys.

  Also, yes get a bigger fence, but also fuck the Prime Directive whenever you feel like it, apparently.

    To be fair they wanted to execute a child for tripping. Fuck the Prime Directive in that case and fuck that planet. There should very much be a clause for protecting your own citizens provided they’re literal children.

      Its definitely a case of “um, yeah, your application to join the Federation has been denied, pending you not having incredibly stupid laws”.

      Yeah, you could just remove that part. There’s no sense on holding the non-intervention principle so high that you comply with every crazy request from the natives.

    They weren’t a pre-warp culture, the Prime Directive doesn’t apply.

      Part of it states that while visiting other planets, following their rules since they’re host.

      Wrong. I dunno why so many people falsely believe this. The Prime Directive applies to EVERY civilization. Not just pre-warp ones. By that logic, Picard wouldn’t have had a problem taking Wesley in that episode because those people had warp access.

    Hey! You don’t fuck the prime directive. The prime directive fucks you.

  It’s funny I like Will about as much as I dislike Wesley, he’s seems like a great guy and often very funny

    Yeah, as far as child stars go, he turned out more well adjusted than the vast majority it seems.

  I can see him commenting like that. He used to regularly pop up on reddit as /u/wil.

  source

  • Stamets@startrek.website ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Oh 100%. He’s a delightful man. Still so frustrated at the people who made him quit Twitter ages ago with the con Stan “Shut up Wesley” shit.

      I also miss his presence on the internet, but part of what drove him away was the reaction to him promoting a block list that targeted trans folks

    This is a real post, for what it’s worth, and that’s Wil Wheaton’s real Tumblr.

  Took me a while to remember that one weird episode.

• xspurnx@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

  It would blow my mind to have Wil on Lemmy. I bet he’d be fun and all around cool.

  source

  • Cethin@lemmy.zip ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    The issue is he’d probably not say he’s Wil Wheaton. I could be Wil Wheaton for all you know. Maybe we’re all Wil Wheaton.

      Sounds like something Wil would say.

    • kogasa@programming.dev ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Well, he’s “wil” on Reddit. I imagine he’d have a “public” account here too even if he prefers a private alt.

    Star Trek: The Next Generation, season one, episode right, “Justice”.
