  • UK should rejoin EU to ‘fix’ Brexit, says Ursula von der Leyen

    Jump

  • Yes. We had it so good. I voted Remain because I had no idea of the true implications of leaving. However, I wouldn’t knee-jerk vote Rejoin, because I have no idea of the full implications of that. Unless the choice was “rejoin with the exact same conditions we had before”, I’d have to do an awful lot of reading.Because, unlike the politicians who want to fit complex socioeconomic policies into a tweet, reality is much more complicated than that. And I’m not putting my vote to something I don’t understand. That’s not socially responsible.

  • Why is everything in consumer / American life so fucking shitty now - and companies literally just say 'oh bc profit margins' and we're now expected to swallow that and sympathize?

    Jump

  • Isn't that because at the root of greed is the inability to be satisfied? Why don't billionaires, when they have literally money beyond avarice, more than they could possibly spend in a thousand lifetimes, just say "nope, I don't need any more, everything else I earn can go to charity"?

    But they don't. They get richer. And despite the public image of them, they'll still try and screw the regular workers out of as many toilet breaks as they can get away with in order to maximise how much they earn.

    It's almost beyond evil.

  • Alabama inmate asks judge to block first nitrogen gas execution

    Jump

  • I believe the officer in charge of the firing squad has a pistol that they'll use to finish you off, but that's still not my definition of quick or painless.

    For the record, I'm like 99% against the death penalty (I could be convinced if the crime was bad enough, the perpetrator was completely unrepentant and there was absolutely zero doubt of guilt, but that last one is a very high bar to clear), but can someone explain why instead of nitrogen, they don't use carbon dioxide? Doesn't that have a very similar "you fall asleep and never wake up" effect?

  • DSC Season 5, LD Season 5, SNW Season 3.... GIVE IT TO ME NOW

    Jump

  • Personally, I think the problem with Galactica nowadays is that the world is generally far more depressing than it was when the show came out. I can take dark and gritty, but it was more fun then. Now, I prefer something more lighthearted.

    Like the flashback episode of SNW, where we saw Chapel and M'Benga during the Klingon War. My first though was "this is awesome, I could watch a whole show like that", but shortly afterwards, I realised "nope, that would be way too much, bring back Captain Daddy making jokes about how flipping the communicator open is better than tapping a commbadge.

    Or maybe I'm just more of a miserable bastard than I was 20 years ago. IDK.

    But hey, for any sci-fi fan, I'd certainly recommend at least watching the miniseries that kicks it all off. Get a feel for the characters and the universe they're in.

    I've never watched Babylon 5. Everyone always raves about it, but I don't know if I could get past the extremely dated looking effects.

    Plus there's so much new content coming out. I can't criticise anyone who doesn't want to watch older stuff, because who has the time to watch it all?

    That being said... you have seen Firefly, right?

  • Have you assholes never heard of Chain of Command?!?!

  • Do you wanna run this ship?

    Yes

    Well... you can't.

  • “So we were being chased by bad guys through a really explosive gas cloud nebula thing. Weapons were on the fritz and we couldn’t use shields because if the aforementioned nebula. So I ejected the warp core and blew it up, detonating the nebula and the bad guys while we just scraped out in the nick of time”

    My god man, that’s actually impressive. How were you planning on getting back to literally anywhere else without a warp core?

    “Ah well, I was only the acting captain at the time, so I figured that would be Picard’s problem when he got back…”

  • Jonathan Frakes Returning To Direct For ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Season 3

    Jump

  • There's like 80 years between Enterprise and Disco, and another 80 between TOS and TNG. Since they (probably) won't fill up all of this with more and more series, there's plenty of scope to mine them for content, especially with one-off films.

  • I was a bit sad they didn't get her to at least play Tendi's grandmother in the crossover episode, I thought that would have been a nice little nod.

    And yes, that is the worst complaint I have about that episode, that's how good it was...
