How exactly did our democracy manage, between 1867 and whenever the fuck Facebook came by?

We all must have done some pretty amazing stuff in our past lives, to deserve this season we are getting.

I can't believe how far he put his foot in his mouth.

Not that weird. The kids are the priority, and they should be.

If I were a supplier, that might sound like a feature, not a bug.

idk if I want an entire instance made up of CBC commenters.

They wouldn't be embarrassed by that. Teens would be falling over themselves to get the Tiny Dick smokes.

Maybe I'm both?

I still like Aqua. I know.

TNG had the strong implication that holodeck technology was pretty new, in the first season, at least at that level of sophistication. The early holodeck appearances are practically gushing about how realistic and "real" they feel, in a way they really wouldn't be doing if they'd had that sophisticated stuff all their lives. If it was really only around at this level for a few years, it's understandable that they wouldn't be prepared for all the implications right away. Look how long it took for us to adjust to the printing press, and we're struggling with the internet right now.

I want a side port.

No pro. :( I hate iap unlocks, Google has messed with them before with this dev.

So, like, this only works when you watch videos on your phone? Who wants immersive audio on a six inch screen?

There was also a Klingon scientist in the Enterprise 2 parter about how the Klingons got smooth heads. He even talked about what it was like being a scientist in a society of warriors.

I know you meant the original. I just feel that, if that was the way people felt about originals after re-makes are made, we wouldn't have so many re-makes. I think people feel more like, if they bothered to do a re-make, the original must be pretty good.

The whole deal with that is that they did it, in TOS, without any sort of explanation. We just had that dude, who McCoy discovered was really a Klingon, even though he looked just like a human. That whole thing is just adding an explanation for something that was long-since already there.

Also, you sound like you're talking about the Orions. Do Klingons even have scientists? Somebody has to build the ships!

+1 for Equinox. The Void from season 7 also covers similar ground, with a dose of 'maybe Starfleet's ways of thinking are correct'.

Cost them my Paramount sub. And I told them that if I was gonna subscribe to a service, just for Star Trek, it darn well better have all of it.

why go watch something that Paramount obviously thought was so terrible they had to redo it?

Sorry, that point-of-view just doesn't jibe with the immense amount of re-makes and sequels we've got out there now. If it was common to think a re-make means the whole thing sucks and shouldn't be watched, re-makes wouldn't be as successful as they are.

Get one of those telescoping type-C game controllers and turn it into a poor man's Logitech G Cloud. Those controllers usually have a battery in them, to top up the weak battery in the old phone. Use it on Wifi for Xbox Streaming or Moonlight, or put a SIM card in it for Xbox Game Pass or Geforce Now on the go.
