Trilobite are fren, not for eating

I hate nu-trek because beyond the obvious shitty writing, lack of an ensemble cast and true standalone episodes, extremely lame and cheap special effects and just the way it is made (legacy series fitting into a canon rather than actual new events i.e. ENT) - its just very apolitical, bland and not very woke at all. TNG, DS9, ENT - all had real hard hitting stuff to say, stuff thats more relevant now than ever, and is always timeless.

Disco has a nonbinary person just kinda be there, such enthralling commentary, wow! It's almost a self-parody y'know. Picard has the romulan refugee thing be kinda swept under the rug in favour of the ME3 synthetics vs organics vs giant space octopus doohickey plot, and then the 2nd season invents a new alternate universe that doesn't actually seem much different from the future picard itself portrays in the first season.

There will never he anything quite like 'Far Beyond The Stars' in Trek again, sadly. Nor will there be a 'Who Mourns for Morn' for that matter, now we mourn for trek.

That's okay by me though, All Good Things and all that, and especially so because For All Mankind took up the actual woke space sci-fi mantle, unsurprisingly so since it's made by Trek and Expanse alumni like RDM, Menosky, Okudas, Shankar etc.

I'm gonna be dead honest with you. The reason you think that high bodycount means that you're somehow fundamentally different as a person e.g. incapable of being a "housewife" is because you do not have a high bodycount yourself and its incomprehensible for you, when in reality it's really just not that big a deal.

No one with a high bodycount thinks of themselves as having a high bodycount. At one time all those people had a low bodycount and they were the same people then as they were after they had a high bodycount.

At most they're "sexually experienced", in gamer terms they're the people with 500 games in their steam library and to them the average person is kinda like the person who only plays F2P mobile gachas, so yeah they'll have higher standards but they also probably know what's good and what works.

None of this is inherently good or bad, it just is.

And what exactly changed in the EU as a result? Can they now really resell games on Steam in the EU?

i mean its a bit of an improvement. If the US keeps sliding into authoritarianism and obviously sponsoring anti-european agitation we should probably stop feeding them money and data.

Mass asset sell-offs by these governments in the 80s to make boomers into petit bourgeoisie to flex on the soviets hasn't exactly left them flush with cash or assets.

On top of that, the boomers now in charge hardly have the political will to even try to build anything in-house with existing free and/or open source software because they're under the impression that privatization will work again because it did for them.

They can't or don't want to realize that the trick only works once and it inevitably creates an oligarchy that can and will outsizeably influence the country's politics, which inevitably leads to some guy who is able to ride a grievance wave during elections right into office where he becomes president, gathers enough influence from the oligarchs to purge the disloyals and consolidate power, creating a fascist state - a union of corporate and government power against the people like what happened in Russia and whats slowly happening in the US.

Did Netflix not pay their ass kissing dues to you know who?

Can't believe someone downvoted this

I say this as i take my pharmaceutical mass-produced amphetamine, factory made plastic sheets lined with artificial hormones that maintain my estrogen exactly where it should be, put on my makeup, my clothes of perfect fit made by machines in asia consisting of synthetic fibers, take out my semiconductor magic device connected by radio waves, tap on it in an alphabet of a language i wasn't raised in, follow the instructions of the sights and colours of the organic light emitting diode god and head out onto concrete walkways lined with skyscrapers to get food from a market originating in a cuisine half a world away in a country I've never been, sold by a second gen immigrant who finds it a bit icky as she whispers in a tongue i do not know and never will, to pay with currency i earn pretending my job isn't pointless to other people with pointless jobs from the sanctity and warmth of my ex-office building renovation.

Meanwhile people in nature died of diarrhea and shit. Typhus. The anticiv rightoid chuds want us to die of preventable diseases. Steve Irwin was killed by a random Lovecraftian freak himself lol.

Modernity, technology is all good, nature is a canvas for humanity's hubris and it's a good thing it's mostly gone as a concern for us. Capitalism is the real problem.

They're not the ones who create stuff that produces the waste though

my truth-claims?
