Zorque,

Most of the other series were more philosophical. It wasn't really about the long-lasting impacts of politics, rather more just thought problems that were wiped away at the end of the episode.

I think that's what OP meant when they said "...politics in ways the other series never did".

Zorque,

All my therapists keep saying getting weird about obsessing over all my failures isn't healthy, though...

Zorque,

As far as I know, cause nothing else is bringing me any kind of happiness. So It must be, right?

Zorque,

psst, its a joke, kind of like the comic

Zorque,

I assume she hasn't gotten a Netflix special in a while and wanted the visibility.

Zorque,

I mean, it's also not how the warp scale works based on principles shown in previous episodes of Star Trek. It's just all around ridiculous.

Zorque,

Well... yeah? Ain't no one hear saying Hamas are the good guys. Just the second part of a two-headed parasite thats attached itself to the people if Israel/Palestine.

Zorque,

Knowing the cause of something does not excuse it. Just helps you better understand it, and how to prevent it in the future.

Saying Israel's actions have a direct relationship with Hamas activity is not supporting Hamas. Its saying their actions are antithetical to a peaceful resolution, nothing else.

Zorque,

One can be the "bad guy" without being outright evil. Their advertising tactics are heinous and exploitative, and their revenue sharing with the people actually making their content is tricky to exploit without utilizing the same shitty practices Google uses.

This is also about a relatively minor amount of users. Yes, most people on the fediverse are probably going to be running ad-blockers... but that's an incredibly small amount of people. This whole thing is about squeezing a few extra ounces of blood from "their" stone. Not a righteous battle against a foul mass who are scandalously stealing from hard working Google employees.

Zorque,

So basically you feel icky? You have a moral problem with people who have moral problems?

Cry me a fucking river. The problem isn't that Google is some nefarious Snidely Whiplash character, cackling madly as they tie some helpless waif to some train tracks... theyre "just" a business, doing business things. The problem is, at their scale, it removes opportunity and mobility of any kind of competition. Any time they squeeze their rock, it has massive implications not just in the technical landscape, but also in peoples ability to control their own life, as it pertains to the ever-growing digital landscape.

I'm sorry that all you can see is people who want free stuff... but that seems to be your own insecurities eating at you. And reflects your own motivations. Not anyone elses.

Zorque,

Martha... why did you say that name...

Zorque,

Pretty sure its the insecure assholes making shitty jokes that makes them look bad.

Zorque,

He and the detective are quite monogamous, thank you.

Zorque,

Hey, whoa, its consensual shit beating.

Well, except that one guys car.

Zorque,

"Millions of people doing lower waste"

Basically saying that reducing the problem in smaller steps on a larger scale does more than a few fanatics doing everything all by themselves.

Its also to help alleviate the guilt of not being able to reduce waste to nothing.

Zorque,

Just wait til you see the 96 Taurus...

Zorque,

There was an episode of Enterprise where they snuck into the ship while everyone was in suspended animation comas for some reason.

One of the many post TOS appearances of Clint Howard, too!

Zorque,

They were paying homage to Kevin with that episode, though!

Zorque,

Q in the background trying to be a wingman, but even that fails.

Zorque,

Zorque,

I think he wants One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest, not actual mental healthcare.

Zorque,

Jesus christ those prices are horrendous.

Zorque,

Everyone wants to be the hero of the story, fighting a righteous battle against the evil monstrous Enemy^tm.

The truth is no one is 100% a hero, and no one is 100% the villain. We all act within the confines of our humanity. For some this is monstrous acts, for others its righteous ones. But no one is exclusively one or the other, we all spend most of our time somewhere in between.

Zorque,

Definitely tending towards righteousness, but I would still say the majority of his life was spent being a regular human.

Which, I think, was the point of his show. He was just a normal man who could treat others with compassion. Putting him on a pedestal and treating him like a saint means that its nigh impossible to live up to him. And I think he would find that a terrible message to send.

We are all human. How we choose to show that humanity defines us, not the humanity itself.

Zorque,

One is my name, the other is not.

Zorque,

Is that typical?

Zorque,

Pretty sure there were computers in the eighties.

Zorque,

I'll take a dozen!

Zorque,

The fiddle player is extra.

Zorque,

You frighten me.

Zorque,

*Egyptian posing as a Spaniard

Zorque,

You're a monster.

Zorque,

Big gnashing teeth...

Zorque,

Nontuple.

Zorque,

Of course he will, senator!

Zorque,

*kawaii worf

Zorque,

They also seem to go up when the economy is "cold"... it's like the game is rigged or something.

Zorque,

So... don't think of them like that. They clearly don't work that way in Trek.

Zorque,

I thought that guy was Welsh.

Zorque,

Israel isn't even listening to Israel. Theure not taking cues from anyone else either.

Zorque,

Reverse ratcheting routers.

Zorque,

I wouldn’t want this lawsuit to discourage quality web design.

What does that have to do with Meta?

Zorque,

I was watching the DS9 finale and I just realized Nog, who went to the academy halfway through the series, got promoted to lieutenant before Harry did.

Zorque,

The shockingly large penis of the one-legged man.

Zorque,

finds some more balanced homebrew

Alright, you can't play the og mystic, but here are some alternatives i'll allow.

Zorque,

Turning bugs into a business model?

Zorque,

But... but... he doesn't have the green one at that point! /nerd

Zorque,

No, my problems are too convoluted for being "right" on the internet to solve :(
