Jesus Christ the comments here are super toxic. Literally any piece of news is gonna be complaining.

I mean it probably also had to do with the role each nation played in the war.

I feel like you lose your right to complain about being victims of genocide after the second or third alien race you yourself genocide, especially when your entire race is essentially a bunch of enslaved thralls who almost always bounce the second they get free will back.

It's probably for the best that they didn't use voyager as an example about how Vulcan emotions can infect other people....

I also enjoyed the part where Freeman tries to stop them. I sat there thinking that she was being smart it was 100 percent the betazoids. It's a good example why the characters aren't idiots for doing the things we yell at the TV screen.

Stupid question: What admirals are we talking about here?

Here are the admirals I remember from 90s trek

• Janeway, who got the job because she was hyper competent at killing Borg.
• Picard, who we can assume is generally good at his job
• That dude who was a dick to Riker, who ended up being really good at his job
• Ross, who was generally good at his job, even if Section 31 kinda did whatever they wanted
• That admiral who showed up and told Picard he was an idiot for not using Hugh to kill the Borg
• Those admirals that were all secretly alien worms or something
• Tom Paris's dad, who was just kinda there
• The lady running the inquisition, who clearly got the role in no small part due to her father
• That other admiral who ended the inquisition trials after he saw what I shitshow the entire thing was.

In general they seemed pretty good at their job.

They already allow instance admins to add to the Blocklist. They could simply remove the hard coded one.

There's a universe where Batman was basically the punisher and goes around killing people.

The Grim Knight kills all the corrupt cops, mob bosses and villains. He also blows up blackgate and Arkham. Gotham ends up super safe, but somehow more of a dystopia than regular Gotham. Everyone lives in fear, and Batman has a 1984 setup where he spies in everyone and uses Waynetech to kill people.

Commissioner Gordon ends up arresting him with the help of info given to him by Alfred.

Would it make sense for someone to kill the Joker? Yes. However Batman is, in addition to being an anally retentive genius perfectionist, somewhat emotionally unstable. Dude isn't the type of person who'd be able to kill the Joker and call it a day.

That being said I'm pretty sure the in universe reason right now is that killing the joker releases a gas that turns whoever is near it into another joker. If Batman killed the Joker, the gas would cause him to turn into a villain who can singlehandedly kill every other hero on earth. He would then continue to pull bullshit out of his ass until he gains the powers of Doctor Manhattan and almost destroys all of existence.

Hasn't it been revealed that the devs are tankies who straight up refuse to implement features that they feel would undermine the cause?

For example, they have a hard coded Blocklist. There have been tickets to change this to instance implemented. Every time this comes up, the devs claim that this has already been implemented and lock discussion. However if you actually look at the commit sha the hard coded Blocklist is still in place.

Nah the old white billionaire will be replaced by AI too.

I feel like the Internet is full of people who think they're Kira but are in reality the useful idiots Kai Winn leverages to gain power.

Dirt floors in more rural and remote parts of America were not uncommon through the early part of the 20th century.

This always seemed like the cheapest way to manufacture tension for me.

There are serious core philosophical differences between Sisco and Picard. There are multiple avenues that could have been used to create conflict and tension.

Instead we get Sisco hating Picard because he blamed him for that shit with the Borg. At best the first impression of Sisco is that he's kind of an idiot. If you dig deeper Sisco is a victim blaming asshole who hates Picard for serving as a meat puppet after getting brutally violated by the Borg.

You could have just switched the reason for Sisco to hate Picard to the fact that he had his chance to strike a fatal blow to the Borg and refused for reasons Sisco would see as sanctimonious.

The AI eGirl, but it'll be alright because I'll pay CeoGPT an extra $5/month for a model that's into that shit.

I personally can't wait for AI to cause a thotmarket collapse.

Investors generally want to get a positive ROI. They don't want to tank the company to the point where it can be acquired by another company for pennies on the dollar.

Look at Nokia. When they hired a former Microsoft exec, they weren't expecting him to tank the entire company so it could be acquired by Microsoft.

Kotlin was made by Jetbrains and later adopted by Google.

Honestly if you read the actual email I think there could be significant legal trouble ahead.

Spencer talks about how the main barrier to acquiring Nintendo is that they sit on a mountain of cash. He calls that unfortunate. He then proceeded to state a company with connections to Microsoft had just bought a lot of Nintendo shares, and how they could work with said company to make such an acquisition a reality.

The company in question publicly bought a massive amount of Nintendo shares. They then proceeded to pressure Nintendo to invest more capital instead of sitting on the cash pile they have now. They did this under claims that such a move would be beneficial to Nintendo in terms of ROI. However, it would also result in Nintendo being more vulnerable to an acquisition from Microsoft if any of those bets don't pay off.

In short, it could be argued that Microsoft worked with investors to tank Nintendo so they could buy it. That's a huge deal and will probably result in a shitstorm.

I liked the Boimler one because even when he's screwing up he's showing why he got promoted. Under normal conditions, he would have completed a three man job by himself.

So we have two options:

1. A 52 year old federal judge is somehow tech illiterate in a way that would imply they have absolutely no idea about the fundamentals of modern technology.
2. A federal judge is asking a large number of extremely basic questions to get their answers on official records so that the cases parameters are clearly defined. He is taking extra care because there's not a lot of direct precedent on these issues.

I'm heavily leaning towards number 2 here. The internet likes to pretend everyone over the age of 40 has no idea how a computer works. The year is 2023. A middle-aged person today was fairly young when computers started to be incorporated into all aspects of society and is well versed in computer literacy. In some ways they are actually much more tech literate than the younger generations. It's almost certain that he knows the difference between Firefox and Google.

They gonna do anything about the culture of indians only hiring other Indians?
