  • I’m of the opinion that nu trek is the word drek in sci-fi. TNG, DS9, TOS, hey all had great things to say, they’re were awesome shows that made you think

    VOY abd ENT we’re hit and miss, especially Voyager was way more popcorn, but still at least it looked and felt like star Trek.

    Then came discovery which was just hilariously bad in all respects.

    Star Trek Picard almost outright ruined TNG for me, I watched TNG at least once a week and I forced myself through Picard, they said it would get better, it just got worse and worse. I haven’t watched a single episode of TNG since, it’s been years now.

    If you want to watch good modern star Trek, watch “the Orville”, it’s exactly what star Trek TNG would be rebooted for 2020. Made by a huge star trek fan, it really REALLY gets close to the point that it’s just actual star Trek.







  • Yeah, half of your fantasy just won’t happen

    For one, you can’t really develop nukes in secret. Nukes are hard to build, very hard. Then detonating one in a war is also a really bad idea because it’s basically the end of at least your country, maybe all countries

    Yeah, Europe is under attack for sure, but it won’t be THAT easy






  • The other interesting tidbit from this:

    Things get dire when US carmakers enter the fray. All but one of the bottom ten brands in the list are American. The best of the worst was Chevrolet at a score of 40. But Tesla makes that failing grade seem respectable with its absolute rock bottom rating of 31, trailing Jeep by just one point.

    That is because everything American has been shit since forever with all the lack rules and regulations, but in the last decade, things really have gone off a cliff

    This right here is the reason why piracy is as big and healthy as ever.

    It’s not about the money. Hell, we’re spending thousands now whereas before it was at most a few hundreds per year. But now we can watch whatever we want without bullshit, without advertising

    It’s not about the ease of use. We now spent countless hours on building a libraries with everything we’d like to watch which I know will always be there

    It’s not about wanting to be “a criminal” or not caring about artists. Most artists get shit from Spotify, for example. We’d rather pay a few hundred per year to some foundation that will pay artists a fair share

    It’s about not wanting to deal with these huge anti social power monger companies and their shitty policies anymore.

    You can’t watch this, we won’t allow it.

    You can’t watch that, you live in a country where it’s bad for our profits if we allow you to watch that.

    You can’t watch this one because it’s better for our profits that we dropped this so you now need to pay double for some other provider because we decided so.

    We need to monitor your every move and excuuuusee me siiiirrr, i need to inspect ya aaasshole now… Please also give me all your personal information, minus the “please” because we’ll just take it

    You know, we’re so big now, and you have so little options, we’ll make you eat h add anyway even though you pay us

    Fuuuuuuckkkk all of that.
