He’s using every brain cell he has to not find out a gay anthem isn’t a gay anthem because the entire writing staff is entirely gay and wrote the song for gay men explicitly, but because gay people use it as an anthem.

You’ll come to find many people you would have never suspected are OK with fascism, when it makes them rich.

Goddammit TNGs makeup didn’t survive the HD upgrades…

Ain’t that America! Home of the free, baby! Busted old fences for you and me!

The end of Tuvix act III for no reason. “Get in the beam Tuvix” “But I am a person and I don’t want to, plus I’ve been alive over a year, it’s CRAZY to think you can just kill me to resurrect two other guys I’m distinct from.” “GET IN THE FUCKING BEAM TUVIX!” “I WONT” “You will with a fucking gun I printed out last weak for this in your mouth you goddamned transporter malfunction, you have no individuality or soul or anything, get. in. the. fucking. beam.” Transporter malfunction resolved The End.

That zoom in is diabolical.

I only use it for complex searches with results I can usually parse myself like ‘‘list 30 typical household items without descriptions or explainations with no repeating items’’ kind of thing.

My dad was African Caribbean with a heavy accent who got citizenship after decades in the US. At times, legal, at time illegal, as the system is quite intentionally broken. After ALL that experience, being repeatedly treated with racist attacks by cops, bank tellers, and who knows how many else, that’s just was I was around to see happen. Anyway, he was VERY pro-trump. Mostly because he was juvenile, and liked he could say a few lines of whatever Trump was saying and it would piss everyone off. He just loved it.

Fourth Donkey Mechanicus of Six

I love everything he’s done, but going back and watching Enterprise was great because he’s SO great in that show everytime he shows up.

Even before that they have been accused of not buying stocks ordered by users, then buying at sell order and waiting for the price to raise to sell so they get a profit. It’s been questioned a long time.

Look as long as your a NATO nation, we’re a perfectly peaceful and reasonable super power with a military that would scorch the earth to ash within 24 hours.

The only thing I can think of is Thank You, Ma’am by Langston Hughes, not the story, but the discussion from my classmates. They really wanted to lynch that kid for trying to steal a pocket book.

Yep. His whole ‘‘why aren’t the coms locked if it’s so important?’’ --‘‘because even school children have a sense of protocol and restraint in this future’’

I liked that Picard was like… why in the world would we revive them, they lived their lives and died, let’s move on.

Well it means they need some ability to reject some content, which means they need a level of transparency they would never want otherwise.

It’s more ''we are so focused on stealing and eating content, we’re accidently eating the content we or other AI made, which is basically like incest for AI, and they’re all inbred to the point they don’t even know people have more than two thumb shaped fingers anymore."

So yes. That’s what’s happening.

“but as I customer, I always see a store worker as a human and engage respectfully, and at least most people I know do the same”

Yeah, that’s a HUGE problem in US culture, people are fucking awful to anyone in customer service. They look down on you like there’s some class system and they are the lords and service people are the lowest peasant. I developed a nasty habit working in service of ‘‘never falling for their bullshit’’. Never show weakness, never give them an opportunity to fuck with you. It’s actually a terrible approch to social interactions, most of normal social interactions are built on mutual trust or understanding, if you never allow either to manifest, it’s a big communication breakdown.

Yeah that’s not on you. New systems sometimes never really come online and customers just wise up and stop trying. It’s frustrating for workers too, because the only thing worse than a terrible customer, is losing a sale over nothing.
