    • As far as public support goes, why aren't disabilities and chronic illnesses treated in a similar manner to LGBT issues?

    • Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 2x10 "Hegemony"

  • Gosh, will Spock and Chapel survive this time?!

    No, that's how they get back to the canon. Sad. I'm as confused as you about the Gorn, though. I'm also wondering about the affable/bloodthirsty crew and trying to make sense of the title, "Hegemony." Here's one way might make sense: The demarcation line was a power play, kind of like NATO moving to Russia's back yard or Russia reclaiming Crimea. Pike crosses it, another power play. Are we looking at a battle for unipolar power? Depicting the crew as both affable and bloodthirsty might be a way of holding up a mirror to ourselves. The Gorn are from hell. Demonizing people makes it easier to kill them. Interestingly, toward the end of the episode, Pike has a sentence about understanding the Gorn. Don't groan. All Star-Trek series have included social commentary. (Remember Pelia's comment, a couple of episodes ago, about holding onto valuable art in case this no-money experiment in socialism were to fail?)

    • When you vet someone for whether you can be close friends with them, what's a seemingly unimpactful characteristic about someone that would instantly rule them out as a potential close friend for you?

  • Someone who identifies very closely with hustle & grind culture. Someone who claims a personal brand. Someone who kisses up and kicks down.

    • Chomsky says 19th c slaves better treated than wage slaves

    Jump

  • He distinguishes between eras. You're right about it not being an argument for slavery. As a wage slave in the food business, I've been forced to work when ill. If I'd been owned outright, my owner would have had incentive to let me heal. As things are, my employer would have replaced me had I not worked. I don't think I infected them. I don't know how many of their customers I infected.

  • Thanks. Here's a screenshot. https://prnt.sc/gQSYgv6qqvbm I just get a white screen with the redirect in the URL bar.

    This morning it's working in FF & Chrome. It hasn't worked for more than a week. Apparently, I didn't close Brave last night, so the screenshot's from that. Without doing a new search, I clicked on one of the links to a Russian site from last night, & Brave took me there. Maybe my fairy godmother? (I clear caches at least daily & clear out temp app data in Windows at least 2/wk. I leave the computer on overnight if I'm torrenting or seeding.)

    I thought it probably had something to do with economic warfare. I wish it would end, but that's a different matter. One of the best things about the internet has been free & open exchange with people from anywhere.
