My brutal but fair take:

I feel the bigwigs for Star Trek would sacrifice us all, in a heartbeat, for their own Grogu to get the kiddos buying merch.

At least Justinian was on the right track when he wrote that slavery is wrong when he rewrote the laws on slavery.

1. Freedom, from which men are said to be free, is the natural power of doing what we each please, unless prevented by force or by law.

1. Slavery is an institution of the law of nations, by which one man is made the property of another, contrary to natural right.

So close yet so far away haha

Somebody show this clown TNG The Most Toys, the one where the emotionless android feels a surge of hate and blasts the space billionaire that enslaved him.

RIKER: Mister O'Brien says the weapon was in a state of discharge.

DATA: Perhaps something occurred during transport, Commander.

And then he gets away with it because Riker hates billionaires too 😎👌

Reminds me of this

Xbox was so great when it launched. Thanks for bringing us decent length controller cables, hard drives, and Riddick Escape from Butcher Bay 👌

Nowadays, uhh thanks for making an unnecessary media center I guess 🤷‍♀️

Every frog has its thorn

“The house I grew up in was built by the Dublin Corporation,” Meaney says.

“How could we build houses then and can’t build them now?... It’s fking Thatcherism, Reaganism, the neoliberals and the trickle-down economy that Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael both bought into, [the idea] that the market will sort everything out. B***ocks.”

Our boy doesn’t hold back and I’m here for it!

Just attribute the minor differences to the temporal cold war 👌

I just want to tell you how much I liked the episode that explored Klingon honor and how that hunting scene kept being recontextualized.

The show reminds me of Lower Decks in that it's different but it's the same. Cant wait to see more.

And after he beans back out:

Lord! It's a miracle! Man up and vanished like a fart in the wind!

Not OC, but def my fave meme about the parasites

So ultimately, I feel like what we’re saying is that in order for Starfleet and that beautiful vision that Roddenberry had of this optimistic utopia, in order for that vision to exist, in order for the light to exist, you need people who operate in the shadows. And it’s a yin and yang. You can’t have one without the other.

I don’t like this sort of mother-goosery in my fully automated luxury gay space communism.

I prefer the assimilating power of root beer as the true defender of the federation.

Normies like me today seeing this in their feed:

How can you be so close to right about þis and still be wrong?

Honest answer: I’m sloppy on mobile

Better answer:

Locking up the community on they’re way out may have been well coordinated, but it isn't well received.

It feels a lot more like capitalism than community: Listen up, I own the deed to this community and my property rights are supreme.

I guess I joined lemmy just in time for all the chisme 🫖☕
