You don’t think more representation for minority groups is a good thing?

Wouldn’t you rather have someone do the right thing for the wrong reason than not at all?

I like how this article does not talk about the anti consumer practices engaged in by Nintendo, that might push some customers away from their consoles.

The average consumer does not care about this. The biggest reasons for people to not buy a Switch 2 are 1) people don’t have money and 2) lack of major first-party games. I waited months until I found a MKW bundle for $450 at a black Friday sale.

Once we get the next 3D Mario or Zelda, you can bet they will sell a lot of consoles.

I watch Star Wars for spaceships and laser sword fights.

I watch Star Trek for courtroom episodes.

(Although Andor is one of the best political dramas out there and must-see TV.)

This happens occasionally when they’re discussing the past in Star Trek. I’m reminded of some season 2 episode where they’ve lost power or whatever during an emergency and Pulaski tells them to make some splints. One doctor responds “that isn’t medicine, that’s barbaric” which gives me the same vibes.

I don’t think the writers intended this, but it does give us a reminder that people always view the past through the lens of the present and it can be easy to dismiss or disparage the way people have lived throughout time.

One of the best things about Picard is that vaping is now canon.

if no amount of self reflection and change can ever make us reconsider our condemnation, then there’s no reason for anything to try and change, as it won’t stop the hate

A very important point that we should all remember. It’s critical to continue a no-tolerance policy of intolerance, but to accept those who want to change.

I’m not running to Chick-fil-A anytime soon but the point remains.

A person wants a rabbit sandwich, no one’s gonna offer it. If people want rabbit sandwiches, they would be sold.

If, over the course of some time, people reduced their meat consumption by 25%, do you think meat companies would continue to raise and slaughter the same number of animals or would they reduce their stock to match what was being purchased?

You don’t need to wait for trust busting or regulation to consume less meat. You can do it today, of your own will.

Corporations are only producing things that people want. I’m all for strict regulation, but “blame the corporations and not yourself” is a huge copout. Especially when reducing your meat consumption is one of the single most impactful things you can do to reduce your effect on the climate.
