There was 9 years between the release of the 360 and the Xbox One. Might was well do the same thing this generation.

AI datacenters and greed.

Pensa you one of them, ke? Inyalowda no care bout welwala like you, sasa.

So what you’re saying is we should drop rocks on the data centers, right?

Aaron lot of out infrastructure still uses floppy discs.

40 miles with no option but to drive?

It affects me because we have no public transit infrastructure, and housing in the city is so fucking expensive I have to live in a mobile home park 40 miles away from my office.

While Europeans have more expensive gas, how many of them need to drive 80 miles a day?

It’s that they are treating it as something weird. Uhura’s race and sex weren’t treated as weird because why would it be? There wasn’t anything especially special about Geordi being a blind helmsman when TNG premiered, because making accommodations wasn’t anything special - it was normal.

What Discovery did was performative inclusivity, which is a more subtle form of bigotry. It’s pointing at someone and calling them weird and claiming moral superiority for tolerating their presence.

Don’t spend 5 episodes uses feminine pronouns for the character then have them “come out” as non-binary. Just establish their pronouns from the outset, and don’t make a big deal outside the show about how brave they are for having an NB Trek character.

You don’t normalize something by pointing out that it’s strange.

But that’s not what they did with Uhura. They never hung a lantern on her being black or a woman. She was just there and it was such a normal thing it didn’t need to be addressed in-universe.

Having a character “come out” means the world is one in which people are hiding in the closet because of a social stigma. A world in which that stigma doesn’t exist doesn’t require a character to come out.

But they’re cool with cars, right?

I feel like you really don’t need Lego to depict Trumpnas a war-hungry pedophile.

That’s what the news and objective reality are for.

Lemmy: You don’t know any of these fuckers, and they really don’t like Windows.

Sometimes economic damage ends up being deadlier than bombs. I don’t care about billionaires, but I do care about people who suddenly can’t afford to travel to their job or pay for groceries or healthcare.

You’re about to have 48 more kids?

They also made amazing computerized wire rigs for the actors they used in conjunction with motion-controlled cameras. The production of the show was super impressive.

Also - everyone should read the books. They’re fantastic.

Ty Frank, one of the authors and the Amos actor Wes Chatham had a really fun podcast (“Ty and That Guy”) that did lots of fun deep dives on genre stuff.

People alo need to understand that the spoiler effect is very, very real. 2000 was so close, that if just 1% of the people who had voted Green Party for Ralph Nader im Florida had instead voted for Al Gore, Bush would never have been President, the Iraq war wouldn’t have happened, and our would would be in a much better place.

I had some stuff removed there as well. I also just called someone out for letting slip the term “Democrat Party” which is an epithet used by the right wing.

While the Lemmy user base leans left, right-wing operators are still very active here. The know they’ll get nowhere by defending the GOP, so their big push is to convince people not to vote.

Interesting how you’re using the “Democrat Party” epithet used by conservative influencers and trolls in a thread where a bunch of you are trying to convince people that it’s morally superior to not vote at all than to vote for opponents of the GOP.

If she was younger, she may have been able to carry the cage instead of leaving it behind.
