How old are you? The way you’re talking is extremely childish and vindictive.

You said you can’t get a normal sized truck. I pointed out that only can you, but said models sell incredibly well.
I feel like you were caught running your mouth without actually having any idea what you’re talking about and then tried to pretend you were joking.
Okay does nobody on this site actually follow car stuff.
The Ford Maverick is what you’re describing. It’s smaller than a lot of SUVs. It sold so incredibly well that every other car company that makes pickup trucks is racing to copy it.
So I agree with OP on the style of the press release being infuriating.
It seems like a lot of tech releases these days are written for non technical journalists (ie The Verge), “tech influencers”, and cargo cultists. They always read in a way that’s super overhyped to the point where you almost want to be dismissive of the end product as a form of protests.
However the tech seems cool. Between VSCode and GitHub we’ll be seeing a lot of feedback sooner or later.
If all the apps are in React Native I feel like they are gonna have a bad time. If you’re not careful React Native apps have bad performance, and Fire TVs don’t have a lot of performance to spare.
A Kia Sportage is a small crossover. That category is one of the most popular in America. There are already a huge number of them on the roads and the models like the Rav4 and CRV are often among the top 5 models in terms of new cars sold.
As a sidenote please do not buy a Kia. The company just simply isn’t committed to quality. Every few years it’s revealed a huge number of their models has some fatal flaw. The company always refuses to fix everything until they get their ass sued into oblivion.
Honestly I feel like most of NuTrek is overseen by people who never really liked star trek in the first place and were tasked with watering down the IP into lowest common denominator mass market schlock instead of expanding on the series.
It didn’t help that when Discovery came out the majority of reviewers clearly knew extremely little about the Star Trek as a whole. I remember reading an article on how Discovery breaks ground for female characters in Star Trek, who previously have been stereotyped to caregiving roles.
I was not a fan of SNW season 1. It felt like it focused on visuals and recycled a bunch of low effort cliches for the plot. They also seemed to try to rush character development in a way that felt completely unearned.
However, I loved SNW season 2. It’s the first show I felt was a true modern successor for Star Trek. While not perfect, it managed to do a great job taking classic themes of star trek and updating them to the modern era. I consider “Under the Cloak of War” an all time Star Trek great. Also season 1 being bad actually makes it feel more like Star Trek.
So to answer your question: No. This is incredibly stupid. While the words were by a villain, it implied that there was a lot of truth to them. There are many ways to lead a fulfilling life without (romantic) love. There are many things in the galaxy beyond coldness. This has been well established by Star Trek and demonstrated by multiple characters in multiple series.
Also, they should give whoever writes lower decks a serious show. They clearly have an extremely deep understanding of Star Trek and have done a good job developing characters.
Man you confirm a stereotype.
The post was about how the south sucks. I talked about how I currently live in the south, and how much better it is than the environment I grew up in. I specifically said NYC METRO AREA. This is because I don’t want to reveal my specific hometown.
However, I know plenty of people living in NYC. My siblings live in NYC, my uncle lives in NYC, my cousins live in NYC, and whenever I go home a good half the people I meet are living in NYC.
There’s another thing I didn’t mention about what I hated their: the pure unbridled arrogance.
There’s this belief that NYC is the center of the universe and the best place to be. They constantly talk down any place outside of NYC. They’ll say shit implying anything outside the top three metro areas in the US is some cultural backwater. They’re straight up incapable of acknowledging the inherent toxicity of their environment. If they do acknowledge it, they’ll insist that every single place is just as bad and they’re just more honest about it. They’ll also act like it’s okay to be casual assholes all the time because they’re really great deep down.
So just to go in order
Yes.
I grew up in the suburbs. The entire culture was extremely judgemental and harsh to people who didn’t conform to social standards. There was this mentality that if you weren’t of value in some way, you didn’t deserve decency.
This continued beyond high school. My adult siblings live in NYC. My cousins also live in NYC, as well as several family friends. They are hyper judgemental when it comes to social conformity, and don’t seem to believe that people have any intrinsic value if they aren’t up to standard.
In NC, that isn’t the case. There seems to be a lot more basic human decency. If someone doesn’t like me, they don’t treat me with utter contempt and disgust. They don’t (as far as I can tell) talk shit behind my back and try to shame people who do like me. Instead they are nice to me in person, and then just don’t hang out with me.
There is also a lot lower a standard of conformity. My siblings will talk shit about absolutely petty shit like wearing the wrong outfit or not using an iPhone. They’ll go on rants that boil down to “this person was mildly socially awkward, or behaved in a way that made it clear they didn’t understand the extreme nuances of my social circle” and act like the person in question is an absolute idiot that deserves ridicule. Family friends have done similar things. Meanwhile in NC the bar is low enough that someone who means well and has a basic understanding of social cues can live function without any issues.
I have Autism. I’ve managed to grow into a person that can function pretty well. I have friends. I have an SO. I have a good job. However, none of that would have happened if I stayed in the NYC metro. Even after all my growth, I would be torn apart in the culture there. The social expectations (and cruelty if you can’t manage it) are simply too high.
There is more to oppression than skin tone. I’m never more aware of my Autism than when I’m in that environment.
I grew up in the NYC metro area.
I now live in North Carolina.
I can tell you where I feel more welcome and accepted. You won’t like the answer.
It’s probably for the best that they didn’t use voyager as an example about how Vulcan emotions can infect other people…
I also enjoyed the part where Freeman tries to stop them. I sat there thinking that she was being smart it was 100 percent the betazoids. It’s a good example why the characters aren’t idiots for doing the things we yell at the TV screen.
This always seemed like the cheapest way to manufacture tension for me.
There are serious core philosophical differences between Sisco and Picard. There are multiple avenues that could have been used to create conflict and tension.
Instead we get Sisco hating Picard because he blamed him for that shit with the Borg. At best the first impression of Sisco is that he’s kind of an idiot. If you dig deeper Sisco is a victim blaming asshole who hates Picard for serving as a meat puppet after getting brutally violated by the Borg.
You could have just switched the reason for Sisco to hate Picard to the fact that he had his chance to strike a fatal blow to the Borg and refused for reasons Sisco would see as sanctimonious.
I liked the Boimler one because even when he’s screwing up he’s showing why he got promoted. Under normal conditions, he would have completed a three man job by himself.
I think most urban liberals would ban hunting given the opportunity, but have enough self awareness to realize that’s an untenable position.
Every single civilization with every single type of governance in human history requires most people to work. That will continue to be the case for a long time into the future.
Is the current system perfect? No. However it does allow for a greater degree of latitude than basically everything that came before it. It also has safeguards to ensure there’s some sort of safety net if you fall on hard times.
You also mentioned democracy. Assuming you live in America, you can vote in a way that introduces reform to the system.
Starting a violent revolution is a last resort sort of thing.
I’m honestly just impressed by how much this guy has grown. I remember when he was going on rants about how much he hates atheists.
So it’s basically a tale of two seasons.
Season 1, IMO, has the same flaws as discovery with more coherent writing. The plot jumps from point to point, the characters are underdeveloped, etc. It doesn’t have any “this is not only extremely stupid but feels like the writers didn’t actually bother watching star trek” moments, but it still isn’t good.
Season 2 feels like a true modern tale on Trek. They manage to truly respect the old lore while bringing in new moral dilemmas. The characters are more developed and taken in interesting directions. They managed to sneak in a line that gives a decent explanation as to why things don’t 100 percent match up in canon. There’s also one episode that I would put up there as an all time great across every series.
So I would say slog through Season 1 for the joy of watching Season 2
Do you think the structured Soong’s character around the idea that he’d 100 percent be the type of guy to ensure Data had a fully functioning Penis?
I mean let’s be real here they had every right to be concerned. TNG had serious problems in the beginning and had some pretty big flaws even as the show got going. Off the top of my head
Changing the error level in the build config without telling everyone and then making a hyperbolic passive aggressive comic when the senior admonishes you for doing so ?
I’m gonna guess 1 YoE, second job out of college. Enough experience to know what they’re doing, but not enough to know when to do it.
