Yeah, but I didn’t remember it being specific about the injury. Also it’s fun to say “Worf kicked a kid in half”

He kicked a kid in half

Worf is a racist misogynistic deadbeat dad and its amazing he’s tolerated.

Rewatching Birthright had me absolutely disgusted with Worf “falling in love” with like a 16 year old he peeps on bathing in a pond then saying “you’re an abomination” when he finds out she’s half romulan

They’re all relatively mad compared to the rest of the population of the UFP.

In a post scarcity socialist utopia, the people we see on screen are almost exclusively a group of folks that when offered the chance to do whatever they wanted they decided some of the most dangerous occupations imaginable. Where death is on the line almost daily due to unforeseen consequences.

They coulda ran a restaurant, researched their passion projects on a Starbase, lounged about eternally and they decided to expose themselves to weekly hazards no one could have possibly predicted.

Anyone in Star Fleet is kind of addicted to danger innit

Headline writers going a little far into the whole trade war rhetoric

Really misread that hat and thought it said “End this fucking wet ass pussy”

Gah you are so right with that. Between the first Trill episode and the non-binary planet episode… just a rough time for queer Trek. At least we got some good stuff with DS9, though even the head writer wishes they pushed the envelope a little further.

I’m hopeful we can get some better stuff out of Strange New Worlds. While Disco had more representation, I did not care for that show for a myriad of other reasons.

Yeah, that line always felt kinda strange. I rationalized it by thinking in the Star Trek world, there was no violent revolution, but more of a pseudo-Posadist realization of global unity in the wake of the third world war and First Contact with the Vulcans, thus Mao’s axiom being less applicable.

Or, more realistically, Standards and Practices needed them to disavow what was being described as terrorism in that particular episode.

I mean, it’s cool as hell, it’s just unlike Captain Jean-Luc Picard to make quips like that or for Star Trek characters to so blatantly advocate socialism. The UFP is certainly a post-scarcity socialist utopia, but I think the conceit in the writers room is that they are so established in their utopia that they don’t speak of it in such direct terms because it’s established. That, and the sensibilities of the late 80’s would make such a statement provocative on network television. Heck, Jean-Luc even at one point refutes Mao’s idea that political power stems from the barrel of a gun.

But I could see them having more leeway in a video game.

Is this actually a quote from Star Trek: The Next Generation: Final Unity?

I loved that game as a child but I couldn’t get past any of the puzzles, being 6 years old.

In my personal experience, I found meeting people in person a far more fruitful dating method than online dating. I was fairly successful in both. I’m not particularly attractive but I’m rather charismatic and I found online dating resulting in a lot more flubs than meeting someone with the intent of simply making a new friend based on shared interests and finding something more growing from that. The online dating did give me a lot of fun dates and sexual experiences, though.

But perhaps take it all with a grain of salt because I ended up with an old friend from high school when we moved in together to save money on rent.

I’m not saying it can’t work, I just see a lot of lonely people wondering why the apps don’t work for them yet try nothing else.

Online dating is great for hook ups, but joining in person hobby groups is better for making friends that might turn into something more.

Yes, and worsening relations with our allies will only further the fascists goals by hastening the ever increasing hardships faced by working class Americans as they get the short end of the stick of the trade wars.

This is gonna be the cycle until America tears itself apart.

Republicans win election after their base gets motivated to get out the vote after having none of the issues affecting their material conditions addressed and the Republican party will try to shift the nation towards fascism. That’ll motivate the Democrats to get out in the midterms and slow but not stop the horrors, then the Democrats will win the next election and similarly do nothing to affect the material conditions of working class Americans or turn back the fascist tilt of the nation, rinse and repeat.

Oh look, it’s popular cuisine de jure (Asian fusion) with star trek names!

I think the point you’re making is true, but the titular argument could still be useful rhetoric to the misguided patriot.

You’re posting a joke as real news ya dingus

Lmao they bit the onion

What’s so odd about those scenes is that the camera is far hornier than the actors. The crew is mostly very professional and chaste about decon, but the camera is leering at their bodies as they do it.
