Agreed. For me, the only “magic” Star Trek needed was stories about relationships that took their time unfolding, with competency. There occasionally were unexplained encounters, but the focus was always on something that could be solvable when the crew worked together. There was resolution. Plus, I really liked the episodic structure of TNG and DS9, where I could get onboard with any episode almost. Within the self contained episodes there could be “twists of fate” that exist today. No more giant fantastic leaps than we already make by believing everything is in the future with their tech.

The “new” trek is too focused on being cinematic. Discovery was interesting at the beginning but it was overly precious and predictable, and overly representative. Designed to keep people hooked. I think the quality suffered greatly. I think representation is super important, having characters with diverse identities, but doing it for diversity’s sake isn’t the way. If we’re really in the future, then people just are.

What a nice interview. I love the inside baseball on the craft, but also the people. It’s wonderful when the players are behind the message and also live that way. Not just selling a fantasy. Robin is so vulnerable. It’s nice to see her “humanity”, and Leonard’s, which made her a great Vulcan. 40 years really goes by.

This is a very stupid sentiment. Are you familiar with Iran?

Anyone have guesses to why they want this

You can either spoof your location and payment to India for cheap rate, or go to account share Reddit and get on someone’s family plan. Some even do family India, so it’s cheap family, at that. If you don’t have friends that do this already.

Just make sure you double check the user against the thread of scammers.

Hey, I’m not sure if you know how un accepting your snarky jab is. It’s very un trek like.

I’m also not sure you appreciate how important representation is. It is very important that people see and read themselves in stories. It could save someone’s life. That importance cannot be understated or taken for granted.

This was likely tailored to the demographic that Picard serves. And while the writing wasn’t elegant, it’s still something. Hopefully it leads to more, as this character development is now canon.

Society is slowly crawling out of hetero normative times, where it is thankfully starting to be more common than ever to see diverse identity mainstream.

Millennials still have a streak of heteronormative thinking and cynicism, but hopefully they are one of the last generations to experience the closet.

One simply does not use Telegram - founder is sketchy and it now primarily has alt-right, conspiracy and terrorist uses.

I know some use it for trackers and to bootlick crackers, but it’s still not the best.

Check my profile for a media share option, if you would rather not dive into the technical aspects yourself. Ditch the enshittified media services and improve your life for the better.

Yes, if you want to use the stick, Pm me if you’d like to talk about a reliable IPTV service (every sports and PPV). I suppose your other option would be to cast/mirror to your stick from your phone.

Certain VPNs might be better for this than others. Does yours use wireguard?

Of course. Sadly, I see downvotes a lot of the time on this subject in piracy circles, even though I think it keeps us from being isolated.

There are absolutely communities for this.

Search media share. I also have one post in my profile, for inquiring minds.

You might pick up some casual phrases but unless you are spending a ton of time with them breaking it down, you’re now an adult, and you will need more than the shows.

Just become undocumented in another country. 😂

Very cool timeline!

I found one error: Star Wars was released 5/25/77 not 23rd.

In a situation like this, for broad illustrative purpose, no big deal. And I really love this journey that’s been charted. However as a Sci Fi fan looking to learn, and one who knew this date immediately, though not others, I just wonder about the correctness of other data.

I see, thanks. Just a bit confusing on the wording.

Only one Proton product is steeply discounted in tiers: the VPN. For 2.5 years it’s 60% off, 1.5 years 52%, and one month is 10%.

Everything else is 33% off for 1 year.

Turns out she is like several comedians and actors: fine as long you didn’t know them as people. Then they disappointed.

Like most professions, there are some people who use their platform and profile for good. Then there are those who are self interested and warped.

I only see 33% off bf deals on Proton’s website. Am I missing something?

Every movement has its participants and its leaders - whether they meant to be, or simply were by virtue of their actions and position. Imo, there is nothing more human than the genuine and wholesome acknowledgment of those who paved the way for us. As well as raising awareness about the negative impacts of systemic oppression.

We rely on sharing lived experiences to raise awareness: about how society needs to change, mental health issues, learning differences, diversity, and so on.

Some might be overly sensitive about such things, due to many negative cults of personality in recent times. However, don’t let those negative experiences affect the present positive one: Aaron Swartz and the negative consequences of systemic oppression.

So where do you download stuff to? Would a WD Cloud storage drive work for this purpose?

Wild! Thanks for checking up and following up.
