60 years worth of shows, novels, books, games, and movies. The original series follows the USS enterprise, flagship of the United federation of planets, as it explores new worlds. Most episodes are self-contained, where they face off against some threat or mystery on the planets they visit. The sequel series star trek: the next generation follows a later enterpise from 200 years after the first one, with roughly the same formula for episodes. There’s also Deep Space Nine, centering on a space station near the newly liberated planet Bajor and a newly discovered wormhole to the distant gamma quadrant of the galaxy. This series focuses on many episodic adventures like before, mostly from visitors to the station bringing some curiosity or scheme, but it also has longer plot lines focusing on diplomacy and peace keeping, ultimately leading to the dominion war, a battle for control of the alpha quadrant with the most powerful force in the gamma quadrant, the dominion. Voyager is another sequel, following the star ship voyager after a powerful alien sends it to the unknown delta quadrant, and they have to survive and find a way home so far from everything they know. Enterprise is set well before the original series, and follows the early years of the Federation through it’s first flagship. There’s also discovery and strange new worlds, set shortly before the original series.
lemmy is created by and for techy dorks, star trek is for the same audience. Many of us are also communist or otherwise leftist, and star trek has done more for us than any other media. Major Nerys Kira, after which one of hexbear’s admins is named, was an explicitly violent terrorist who helped liberate her people from a fascist occupation, and she never gets mistreated because of it. Queer content on star trek has not been perfect, but was beter than anywhere else on TV for a long time because they had freedom to explore different ideas about gender and sexuality(when berhman wasn’t breathing down their necks) due to sci-fi having the excuse of being a fictional alien species. THe first inter-racial kiss on tv was from star trek, another point in the shows favor. There’s also a whole episode where a characrer becomes a Marxist, so coolest shit ever made. . I could go on for hours, but the bottom line is that it’s just peak fiction.
bird shit
Show me an emotionally charged video of animals being beaten, and I’m much more likely to want to help, as opposed to only seeing some cold facts on a page about numbers of animals mistreated.
and this is my point. You aren’t critically evaluating the situation, as the same thing happens in each case.
That second part feels unrelated. I know a lot of extreme introverts that need something going to fall asleep.
ok but who is this about? sometimes people get bored alone but I’ve never seen someone dread it like this.
the best thing to do with your car battery is throw it in the ocean. The electric eels use it to recharge.
I disagree, 300% more
that’s just a fact, not an opinion
No it doesn’t. Being able to know how my neighbor feels, which is what empathy is, is good for relating to my neighbor, and useful in more emotional situations to avoid hurting them, but in general thinking about the actual outcome of actions is better than gauging other’s emotional response to them.
the way we treat being egotistical as the worst personality trait is classist. Empathy is also the worst emotion to make decisions using.
thought, think, will think. But I kind of did say that already.
the difference between pseudo-science and science can be slight, and always better understood in hindsight. IQ was a big part of race science in the early 1900s, and it looks like science. It’s objectively measured, systemic data. You’ve gotta take a step back to realise it’s bullshit and too subjectively defined to be useful for anything. A big part of science is trying to think objective, and it’s only been somewhat recently there’s been a movement to remind people that they aren’t actually objective, ever.
Oh I’m sorry, you misunderstood. I’m not here adverting hexbear, because I don’t give a shit what you think about my platform. I’m making fun of you for having dogshit opinions.
what a brain-dead response. Did you give it a second’s thought?
inherent distrust of google, which is deeply pervasive
it is technically, but you know what it means conversationally here.
