- Comment on Star Trek: Section 31 to Premiere January 24 4 weeks ago:
And now Paramount+. Even now their strategy seems to be to fill it with Star Trek and wait for the cash to roll in.
- Comment on Star Trek: Section 31 to Premiere January 24 4 weeks ago:
I just watched a fascinating documentary on Star Trek and they talked about how paramount kept trying to launch their own network on the back of Star Trek as it’s cash cow and how they kept failing because it was all they had on it and not enough viewers.
Problem solved by making all the different kinds of shows into Star Trek, I guess, but how are they going to grow a fan base if it’s all locked behind a paywall that only people who already love it will pay to get through?
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
I always loved the “do uncontacted remote tribes that haven’t heard of God or Jesus go to heaven?” question. So far everyone has answered yes. And then you realize that Christians could save everyone, everywhere, forever, just by destroying all their literature, not teaching religion, and letting it die with them. One sacrificial generation and everyone is saved forever.
But they won’t do it because of greed and pride, the core aspects of their belief system.

How old is your Bowden tube? Could you be getting more friction when it is bent certain ways leading to inconsistent feeding?
- Comment on Why is UI design backsliding? 1 month ago:
Because everyone is switching from a custom ui to a css standard so they can have a web app that is also a desktop app.
To sum up, your app became a web page.
- Comment on Out of curiosity if a woman is in control of her own body. If the SCOTUS did not reverse Roe than why can't a woman in control become a prostitue? 2 months ago:
While Roe v Wade may have been legally about privacy, abortion rights are also absolutely a body autonomy issue ideologically.
- Comment on UK | Girl died from sip of Costa Coffee drink after ‘failure to follow allergies processes’ 2 months ago:
You aren’t wrong, I’m just saying that when I was a kid it was more that they didn’t care to accommodate your “special needs”, not that they were trying to be responsible.
Responsible is also not trusting strangers with something that can kill you.
- Comment on UK | Girl died from sip of Costa Coffee drink after ‘failure to follow allergies processes’ 2 months ago:
It really hasn’t though. When I was a kid if you went to a restaurant and tried to get special requirements they’d just tell you to go somewhere else if you didn’t like it.
All this allergy sensitivity stuff in good service emerged within my lifetime.
And I agree, why would we ever expect that sort of responsibility to be left in the hands of under paid under trained fast food workers?
Sure, in a perfect world we could train them all perfectly, but it’s not a perfect world, if someone can kill you that is harmless to everyone else, it’s on you to take precautions. Get your coffee black and doctor it yourself or something. Or trust a random teen who doesn’t really understand what is on the line, it’s up to you.

- Comment on Despite economic growth, 70% of Americans believe the economy is getting worse 3 months ago:
It’s almost like the word has a different meaning on Wall Street than it does for the average person!

I read an article that said, yes they are.
- Comment on Is my girlfriend gaslighting me? 4 months ago:
I wish I had good advice for how to connect with people after the school years, that’s just difficult.
- Comment on Is my girlfriend gaslighting me? 4 months ago:
If there is one lesson I could teach my younger self, it would be to have several low commitment relationships while I was younger to learn what is “normal”. Once you start making murder pacts, it’s usually too late.
- Comment on I don't really know how to deal with coworkers who emotionally dump their issues on me 6 months ago:
A lot of men are desperate to connect with other people and for validation.
- Comment on Best options for entry level 3D printing available these days? 6 months ago:
The Bambu printers are also great “entry level” as they work so well with a lot of features right out of the box. They aren’t cheap though.
- Comment on stunned silence 6 months ago:
I dunno, sounds like a pretty deep cut.
Here’s a clearly intelligent woman and Spock has just told her to get face that her society has converted her into an object, and he did it in a way that everyone is going to interpret it in a way where they view him as sort of an effortless alpha for doing it.
Legend.
- Comment on Advice wanted for a newbie on project 9 months ago:
I’m not advocating he but a printer, that’s clearly the wrong choice here, but
Getting it set up and calibrated takes ages
…just isn’t true anymore, depending on what you get; the bambulabs printers are basically effortless.
- Comment on How do you refer to the lgbtq+ "community" least excludingly? 9 months ago:
I’ve always thought we should use “plus” as in the + at the end of lgbt. It’s short, easy, all inclusive and has a built in positive association.
- Comment on Kentucky Republican wants to lower the legal age someone can own, conceal carry guns 9 months ago:
Don’t ask me, that’s up to the voters of each state to figure out.
- Comment on Kentucky Republican wants to lower the legal age someone can own, conceal carry guns 9 months ago:
Yup, I’m fine with all those having individual, differing, requirements.
- Comment on Kentucky Republican wants to lower the legal age someone can own, conceal carry guns 9 months ago:
I think it depends on the thing. I don’t want us to say anyone can fly a plane without a license just because they are old enough and I also think that a some kind of test to see if someone is responsible enough to drink would be stupid when age is good enough for that.
- Comment on Kentucky Republican wants to lower the legal age someone can own, conceal carry guns 9 months ago:
Honestly? We can debate each separately. We don’t need a single magic number that we try to apply to all circumstances.
I don’t object to the specific number, I object to making it match a different number as the reason.
Heck, there are probably a lot of 16 year olds that are mature enough to responsibly handle a firearm, that doesn’t mean we should change all the age requirements for everything to 16 either.
- Comment on Kentucky Republican wants to lower the legal age someone can own, conceal carry guns 10 months ago:
In all seriousness, there are some 30 year olds I don’t think are adults yet. Why is it such a weird idea that people are ready for different levels of responsibility at different times? Being able to drink doesn’t make your an adult, being able to carry a gun doesn’t either. Neither does driving. They don’t all need to "unlock"at the same time like a video game or something.
- Comment on how can I develop a thick skin? 10 months ago:
Frustration is usually the difference between what we expected or wanted and what we got. Patience is learning to let go of what we expected and accept what is.
If you can stop seeing this as something wasted and start seeing it as just a different circumstance, it may help you get past your emotions and start focusing on what to do next.

Man, I can still hear the rattle of the teacup.
- Comment on Every time I'm trying to decide what new show I should check out 10 months ago:
Oh man. It’s the only one where they actually don’t boldly go anywhere. I’ve always had trouble with that and probably actually need therapy because of it. It took me a long time to even accept it as real star trek.

No, the world is screwed, but if I could not have to breathe all the exhaust I’d be all for that.
- Comment on How to stop thinking about an interaction from my past? 11 months ago:
I mean, yes, but they also need to forgive themself for not better understanding the situation and being better able to respond to it. We often blame ourselves for being vulnerable to the abuses of others.
- Comment on Is the right to abortion a "negative right" or a "positive right"? 11 months ago:
For me it’s a basic question of who gets to make your medical decisions, you, or someone else.
It isn’t a person yet it’s not a baby and it is “human” only by DNA. At that point it is indistinguishable from an embryo of a dolphin or other mammal. It can’t even think yet, but for some reason people think of is special enough to be worth denying you your body autonomy.
