Consider yourself blessed to be unaware of the entire digital media ecosystem that targets insecure white men via their preferred fandoms and is dedicated to blaming women and minorities for their issues.

This is hilarious to me so I looked up the original article and I am pretty sure that it is largely written by AI.
Also, not that it needs or deserves any kind of analysis, but the central premise (as much as I can decipher from all the ChatGPT fluff) appears to be: “Because Trekkies are conservative, Star Trek is doing everything it can to make men hate it.” which obviously makes no sense. Why would a company create a piece of media knowing it would be unpopular?
Anyway thanks for the laugh, OP.

I was going to report to the mod but… the mod is the one who posted it. Guess I’m unsubbing.

Thanks, I fixed my comment, the article said “similar to that found in the Kindle Colorsoft” and I didn’t read further.
- Comment on Aura introduces a $499 e-ink digital photo frame that lets you go cordless 5 days ago:
This is really cool, I love that it has a gentle front light. But pricing aside, having to take off the wall to charge every three months is a dealbreaker. I wonder if a solar panel along the top edge of the frame would have been sufficient to keep the battery charged for most situations.
Regardless I hope we see more of these. Even if the Kaleido screen is FAR from photo quality.

ok well now I know you’re sexist lmao

If you describe a female character who’s not a Mary Sue as a Mary Sue for no reason other than because you don’t like her, people will think you’re sexist.

Well said. Prodigy was not for me. But I’m not making it my personality!

I was struggling to think of a character that was presented as “flawless” and Saru is the closest I could think of. I cannot conceive of a definition of “Mary Sue” that would apply to characters that that go to prison for mutiny. If Micheal meets the definition of a “Mary Sue” then Kirk, Sisko, Riker, Scotty, Wesley and Tom Paris do too but I suspect you would disagree with those being included.

Well said, except that TMP is pure cinema and you sir are worse than Khan Singh.

Someone once told me that Discovery had a “storyline” about a character coming out as nonbinary I asked them if they could tell me what episodes this storyline took place or provide any details from this story. Of course they could not but they remained fully convicted that it did happen.

Mary Sue
Is this a reference to Saru? Because I would argue strongly that he does not meet the definition of the term “Mary Sue”:
“exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas, and may possess skills that are rare or nonexistent in the canon setting. […] lacks any realistic character flaws”
Saru was gifted and possessed “rare skills” yes, but was not without character flaws. For starters he sided with Burhnam during her mutiny and subsequent imprisonment.

Yeah when someone complains that Discovery redesigned the Klingons but won’t complain about TNG redesigning the Klingons then you can know that they don’t actually have strong opinions about the concept of a redesign.

Finally, something substantial. I was worried this would be “Star Trek: High School Musical” but this trailer makes it clear this isn’t just a Trek show for tweens and teens.

But there are dozens of people in this very thread who if I am understanding correctly are willing to offer the same service for free to prove their point that Plex is evil.
- Comment on FFS Plex, the server is on my local network 4 weeks ago:
I know it’s fashionable to shit on Plex here, but OP either has his server misconfigured or is just trying to stir the pot:

Also the weekly intentionally misunderstanding how Plex pass/Plex remote pass works in order to complain:

- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 4 weeks ago:
Wow, 7tb for $21/month. That’s much better than I’ve been seeing.
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 4 weeks ago:
Problem with that is there is no backup in case of flood/fire/tornado etc.
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 4 weeks ago:
Yeah it sucks because Microsoft charges $10/mo for 6tb.
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 4 weeks ago:
Anyone know of a good managed hosting (or vps) for Immich that doesn’t break the bank? I have about 5TB of photos/videos and I don’t feel safe without a remote backup. I played with self hosting and I really (really) like Immich but I keep Google photos/Drive just to ensure I won’t lose anything.
- Comment on Give one of your "skip" episodes a second chance every now and then. You might be surprised. 4 weeks ago:
Skip episodes become brand new episodes after enough time has passed! I recently watched “The Mark of Gideon” and had absolutely NO memory of it. Yay new trek!
Also you’re the second person I saw on here refer to “Take Me Out to the Holosuite” as anything other than great, and while I find that surprising I am glad to hear you’re on board!
