What the fuck are you talking about? There’s literally victim statements by multiple victims saying he raped them when they were children.
- Comment on If what they taught us about checks and balances was a lie maybe what they taught us about civil disobedience was a lie too. 1 day ago:
Someone has had an incentive to teach you pretty much everything you know. You hope much of it was benevolent, but maybe the teachers were taught to use benevolence that way (by pedagogical teachers before them)… Then there’s this whole thing xalled “The Hodden Curriculum” which is the accental lessons burried in the structures of lessons and systems… And then there’s Labour History, which is like this secret history of workers rights that most schools won’t teach, and it soon becomes obvious that teaching can have ideological and systemic purposes attached, and even hidden or subconscious back flows and scatter effects.
It’s all a bit much.

- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 4 days ago:
Whoa TV producers have sex brained politics and just want shows with mass appeal, you don’t say?
Doesn’t change the fact Voyager still did better on this issue.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 4 days ago:
Does the question: “Did you somehow forget 7 of 9?” read “let’s limit the discussion to judging the women based on costumes alone” or say “Lets judge the character’s strengths based on why TV producers had them introduced”?
No, the discussion - and even the article is about how Enterprise is claiming to be “a man’s man’s version of Star Trek” a “boy’s club” and feel lucky they got in before Me Too happened.
So reiterating “Yeah, but TV producers really wanted Jeri Ryan to look sexy” doesn’t change the topic.

It replaces the children’s intelligence, so they don’t have to think of questions or pretend like they were listening.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Enterprise’ Cast On How Series Was Last Hurrah For “Boys Club” TV Before Me Too Movement 4 days ago:
The question was did I forget about 7 of 9…
…the answer is no, and that Voyager came before Enterprise and wasn’t nearly as sexist. There’s just no two ways around that.
Voyage wins hands down, leaving Enterprise still being written about as a masculine “Boys Club” or frat house version of Star Trek.

Whose whole character arc is about the female trauma of losing control of ones body and having it occasionally violated?..
…with a large dose of how to connect with your mother figures, even when one is being a bit of a Borg queen?
No, I didn’t forget, and it’s great that Voyager hit some gender specific trauma stuff consistently with 7 of 9.

Enterprise was ridiculously “Tits out for the boys” and it was a really weird direction to go after Voyager. Like Enterprise had some dumb dumb shit, frat boy type stuff.
Characters in their underwear for quarantine, women’s shirts slipping off because they were crawling around in the vent system. Stuff that didn’t make sense and was played for Scooby Doo style laughs.
It’s all part of why it’s bad.

I feel like Google would only do this if they can buy Ecosia so they can write down Google’s carbon off the work Ecosia has done.

The article also mentions each enquiry also evaporates 0.26 of a milliliter of water… or “about five drops”.
- Comment on Meta Quest 3/3s XR headsets finally rooted after 2 years 1 week ago:
I have a Quest 1 which I still use everyday because it gives me a set exercise regime. Sideloaded a bunch of free indie titles that get me moving and it’s worth it.
That seems to be a huge factor in terms of continued usage: Do you use it for regular exercise. Most people who stick with VR seem to get some exercise related quality of life out of the technology.
- Comment on Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor 1 week ago:
There should be laws against predatory and fascist forms of Capitalism. CEOs going to jail should be a regular occurrence for a few years at least.
There should be set ratios between worker pay, CEO pay and profits. It’s the only way a just society can be returned.
- Comment on Computer Science, a popular college major, has one of the highest unemployment rates 1 week ago:
In the 1970s companies started “Stack Ranking” all their employees and firing the bottom 10% in order to replace them or simply using their wages to pay CEOs more.
Companies used to provide workers a pay related sense of justice, a career for life.
Now the media will jump past all this to blame anything but the CEOs and failure of Government to reign in the wage gap via the force of law.
