Well, you have to ask yourself before making comments like that… Would the story be bad because it had a black woman in it? Or would it be bad because a soulless megacorp would rip any and all meaning out of the script regardless of who starred in it?
If it’s the former, you’re being racist. If it’s the latter, why mention a black woman?
lol reading comprehension is hard
Cross-reference those numbers with cost of living…
and yet that would fit the designation discussion going on. Interesting how you want to turn it in to a racist shitpost instead of discussing it like someone with more than a lonely braincell crying out for attention.
Again, MAD only works when the damage is equally devastating on both sides.
Yes, but taking bad tacts that won’t actually change the trajectory of things is only going to disillusion people further.
I hope you don’t have to find out how naive that view is.
So you burn down the farm house. What about the fields? The equipment? The person who was kicked off the land already by then is still destitute. Now you’ve burned their old home down.
Now what? MAD only works when the damage can be equally devastating, and the community will already be devastated by then.
If you think fighting rich corporations with guns by the time they’re scooping up farms is how it should be fought, you’ve already lost.
I’m not saying don’t do it. I’m saying don’t expect easy answers like the post implies.
Yea, which will work for about 30 minutes until the police show up, who are already used to defending property over lives.
The government doesn’t have to be profitable. That’s part of socializing business cost, just like how many people that work at walmart are on food stamps. A corrupt government loves to subsidize the rich.
They’d try, but there will be corporations bidding from thousands of miles away completely out of reach of any mob action these days.
If we reach penny auction status (and we will), it will be back to functional feudalism for most.
Wait… is there an innocent reading of that barn sticker??
Why is there a bumper sticker for farmfucking?!
You’re really reaching at straws when you equivocate a captain admitting humans have believed in one god vs a captain making a religious appeal to God.
Starfleet doesn’t condemn religion, but again, that DOES NOT mean they endorse it. You religious buffoons always utterly fail to understand what kind of humanity is portrayed.
There are plenty of religious people in ST. The point is humanity, and especially Starfleet, are secular and logical almost to a fault. It’d be a cold day in hell when a captain goes, “Oh jeeze, oh no, I don’t know what I’m doing! Please Sky Daddy, help mee~”
There’s even a freaking episode in TOS where Kirk directly denounces Gods as a whole, even while he’s literally staring at someone with god-like powers. It’s even a repeating theme in other ways through the series.
It is wholly anachronistic to have a captain defer to religious faith. They explicitly say humanity has moved past the need in all of the first five series.
Maybe Archer has some kind of religious faith-based statement I’m forgetting, but he’s set in early Trek times, and it does not remove the fact that EVERY OTHER series before ST was sold explicitly states humans do not believe in gods for worship. Picard even basically tells Q to fuck off and Q literally has powers beyond what “God” is ever described as having.
Damn that game is so good… The mechanics might fall apart if they were expanded too much in the wrong direction, but outside of the start, it’s paced well, written well, has a good sound track, etc… excellent.
Though FUCK the RNG for having to catch an aberration before the game truly starts.
Also in such games it forces you to use an at least decent build instead of being able to play around with silly things. I generally play games to have fun, not pick one of four viable builds and do the same damn thing as everyone else…
Carry weight is way less annoying than a grid inventory but you’re damn right I roll with such mods! lol
Except they have so many screwups with writing it’s not even funny. Like the captain freaking praying in s02e01… Yeaahhh, Starfleet is definitely known for their faith in god and not humanity…
I’m going to go out on a limb and say South Park.
They’re just terrible satire. Even when they have a clear target for their satire instead of making fun of everyone in the episode, they get the freaking message wrong a lot of the time.
Like the wall-mart episode. What’s the big baddy? Is it the economies of scale, and that allowing massive companies that get every benefit from that scaling compete directly with mom and pop shops? No, it’s the customers who like convenience and low prices!
They’re just … shit at their job most of the time. The first couple seasons are waaaay better because they’re just stupid juvenile stories having fun for the most part. The more political they attempt to get, the worse their satire gets, and I’m someone who generally agrees with what they’re attempting to make fun of. (with many glaring exceptions, like directly calling the act of cleaning up the environment and using green energy “gay”, making fun of trans people, etc)
They’re seriously just… bad satire that ultimately only succeeds in normalizing being rude to each other.
Good call on avoiding the live remakes. I watched a few when I had the free oportunity and the time to waste. They’re soulless trash that feel empty compared to the animated disney originals.
