  • What does it look like?

    Open source codebase (particularly for algorithms that rank and serve content), transparency of investors, more funding to identify misconduct and misinformation, actual financial consequences for failing to quickly remove disinformation and remove bad faith users

    I'm not sure what the heck the rest of your post was on about, enjoy your bunker, I guess?

  • I hate Trump more than Al Franken hates Lindsay Graham, but honestly the US would be stupid to not use the same tools currently being used against our electorate to weaken rivals. I wouldn't be upset up learn that Biden is doing the same

    But a better solution would be regulation of social media and better public education

  • Garl has got to be one of my fav character names. Garl

    PS bought the messenger after beating sea of stars, and got stuck and gave up at the bloody demon general. Rarely do games stump me like that, but I just cannot beat him

  • I haven't watched Discovery past episode 6 or 7 of season 1 (after the klingon sex scene, I tapped out) . I take it they're 1000 years in the future now, and that's when this series takes place?

    If so, oof, it will be hard to identify with a millenium of progress, unless they pull a Futurama and have everything rebuilt a few hundred years in (after the second coming of Jesus of course). Why not go back to the Harve Bennett-era academy series for inspiration? Or set it after Nemesis?

    The only redeeming grace for me so far is having Tawny Newsome (or is it Trondy Newman?) in the writers room. She is an absolute delight

  • I mean, yes and no. It's not as if those who vote for Donald trump aren't people worthy of empathy... But when a helping hand is offered and refused, what then? Can't have my kids getting a few lunch when those "other" kids get one too. Sorry, my empathy died up

  • Arguably they were still figuring out the tone, and how to revive a 20 year old franchise while not retreading the past. Not claiming there aren't some duds, but later 90s Trek benefited from TNG cracking the "formula" and sticking to it.

    Compare a modern spiritual successor to TNG like The Orville, which, despite a rocky premiere, just crushed it within 5-6 episodes, and kept crushing it, because they didn't have to put so much legwork into defining the tone of the show.

    The Orville... Still the best Trek of the modern era.
