We got you covered!

Something something sit down with fascists, one more fascist now added to the table.

face.

both sides

Which side are you on, exactly? I kind of doubt you’re a leftist if all you see is “liberal vs conservative.”

Are you one of those pretentious “independents” that wants pretty much everything the conservatives want except you also like legal weed?

but for LD my daughter and I always skip to the nacelle-eating alien (we named him Yum Yums), yell “YUM YUMS!”, and then skip to the end.

That’s adorable!

Those bad things were set in motion decades ago, too.

Most news articles try pulling the “bad things may happen soon but it’s not too late” card, but bad things are already happening and are getting worse.

“I listened to a podcast where some affluent guys talked about cum a lot.”

Also a reminder: oil corporations researched this, knew about it decades ago, and deliberately lied about what they knew.

There’s got to be a way to make use of the old stuff in a way that doesn’t pay the fees. You know, where it seems to be broken and thrown away, but it isn’t.

It’s baffling to me too, but considering how much the post-DS9 “NuTrek” showrunners like to trot out Section 31 and give them more power and reach and even respectability among the protagonists each time they seem to show up (such as in Picard where for some reason Worf and Jurati were associated with them and they apparently “had all the best toys” in a way that sounded quirky and cool rather than an unaccountably self interested bunch of murderous criminals as seen in DS9), there’s a fair amount of overlap it seems between the “black ops special forces shadowy adults in the room that make the hard decisions and get shit done” power fantasies of typical right wing entertainment and whatever Kurtzman keeps trying to push on the Trek franchise.

That’s even more baffling because the average self-described conservative Trek fan seems to hate “NuTrek” anyway, even the stuff that I myself enjoy like Lower Decks, The Orville (yes I count that as Trek, it earned it), Prodigy, and Strange New Worlds.

The final 20 minutes or so of this video summarize how I feel about the Discovery/Picard’s preoccupation with edgy grimdark gimmicks that seem to be trying to appeal to a crowd that nonetheless can’t see past the “politicalness/wokeness” of having too many nonwhite nonmale characters and the like.

Because a two-stroke engine that is more polluting than a full size SUV many times over making a lot of noise and releasing a lot of byproduct poisons into the air is vastly preferable to using a fucking rake. I think some boomers and junior boomers like the fact that they’re being noisy.

Back in CA, there was a total , appearance and all, that’d roll down the street in a golf cart with a massive sound system filling the entire rear behind his seat, and he’d blast out absolute trash dadrock with huge floor-shaking subwoofers, and do it all with this empty gammon grin behind his wrap-around polarized sunglasses, going back and forth at least twice a week around the same time.

He was still not as divorced as though.

Bayesianism is more powerful than any of that old thinking. The dead should just adjust their priors in the next reality over where their quantum immortality continues.

This is a clear warning to anyone who thinks about delving into Bayesian statistics, imo.

The sheer fucking smug hubris of naming a boat that, and presumably conjuring up bullshit probability statistics for why they’re too smart to follow best-practice safety procedures.

Had correct procedures been followed

The ruling class has no use for such things. They are adult children floating on clouds of unassailable privilege… until they aren’t.
