Don’t have a lot of faith in Skydance’s ability to produce a good Star Trek moving forwards.

I wouldn’t expect them to do a terrible amount of micromanaging on this show, but I could definitely see them hiring showrunners and creatives that are meant to appeal to a conservative demographic.

Young x and elder millennials overlap but I think thats more young millenials resembling genx than the other way around

Unfortunately decades of far right am talk radio pipeline adapted very well to gel with online platforms. Then they were able to cleverly take advantage of algorithms to "red pill " people. Younger generations are generally more liberal than their parents but far Right strategies have made a big dent in that.

Plenty of boomers who actually marched for civil rights out there, and plenty of young people stanning turning point usa and mourning charlie Kirk

Overall I enjoyed this one too. A fun little romp and did not expect to do the hangover in space. As always I really enjoy the mid century modernist futuristic stylings that the set and costume design bring to the show.

I do like the silliness that this show can find itself in because it allows itself to be grounded in the era of TOS.

To be fair the alphas were still under the effects of the atmosphere so while it would make sense for them to defer duties to beta shift they werent in a headspace to do so. And definitely not delta shift those guys suuuuck.

Surprised by all the negativity in this thread. I enjoyed the ride and liked how it didnt pull punches. Was a bit of a push in a new direction for spok and lian

Enjoyable episode overall. I loved the conflict they had with an alien species. I dont mind these kinds of predetermined time travel episodes but I do think they wound up responsible for a little too much. Theyre responsible for the destruction of a planet, the contiunuing redding of mars, and also they killed the dinosaurs. It feels like the consequences were a little too high. A reminder of how nutrek dials everything up to 11. It’s not just butterfly effects changing history it’s like everything.

I dont hate that pike let it happen, but also letting someone genocide an entire people and blow up a planet is a heavy move to make so casually even if it did already happen. I would have preferred the usual cliche of them trying to do the right thing and then missing the mark only to realize this was meant to happen.

Seriously why are we reposting anything from hunter biden. Im sure theres a number of more relevant and proper progressives with better insight and analysis of the elections .

Honestly, the two shows have such different formulas in how the action is handled that I don’t really see it working very well.

Like obviously, there are writers talented enough to make anything work really, but I think the two shows do have tones that would make an episode like this just be pure fan service.

I think it would work best as like either its own self-contained little mini-series, maybe one where the doctor finds himself in the Star Trek universe and winds up traveling and interacting with multiple eras. Or a one shot special that exists outside either shows season

While he was technically the second performer of the puppet the character was totally different and mostly a background character before him. So hes the original elmo as we know him

I didn’t even realize she did nudes in her patreon until someone mentioned it. He of course totally hates it but periodically checks on it (to see if its still there and shes still doing it) using a website that skips the paywall.

Its not specifically hard but its also not just as easy to use. I say this as someone whos been gaming on linux for over a decade now. You still run into issues here and there with proton(often a devs fault for bad code) and there is genuinely a lot more going on and tweakable on the steamdeck.

Steamdeck is a great device but Nintendo is good at making simple systems

It really was remarkable how hated this device was at the time and I say this as one of the kids online laughing and calling it the taco gauge and ridiculing it for the side talking which lets be real isnt that egregious(and actually in what is likely intentional design the shell around the screen when placed to ear looks a lot like a side profile of an old phone). I do sometimes think back to it and how in hindsight it was just a smartphone that played games.

It was a little too ahead of it’s time.

There are definitely a lot of little things in gimp that make it hard. The lack of a shapetool is one(yes yes it’s not a drawing app but a basic edition helps) and other things like adding text with a black outline or shadow. After literally decades they finally added in a way to make it easier to image macro text in. The old way involved several submenus and I know I couldnt figure it out on my own without a guide.

I know sometimes people come into an opensource ecosystem and complain that everything is worse because they arent used to it, but at the same time there are a lot of open source programs that are very rough around the edges and the developer cant see it because they know the program inside and out so of course it’s intuitive that this feature is burried in here and this feature way in there.

Even in the american mythos of the mayflower it mentions them surviving off established food caches and stores from abandoned settlements. People dont think much about that, but they werent left behind because the natives were so welcoming to the Pilgrims.

Yeah and in addition to the incline it looks sandy. Walking on a sand dune is way harder than a firm surface since the sand gives way as you step requiring more energy
