Basically it's self fulfilling if say that. You can believe all that i do too but I don't say it becomes a forgone conclusion as that will make it happen for sure. My thoughts on it are. if it's going to happen im gone to make it as hard as I can for the people that are making it happen and the closer we get to it happening the more radical my actions will become. I will help my community where I can and do my best to make the people responsible pay for their actions. I would read about community network building.

Also there is a YouTube channel Beau of the fifth column that has a lot of great advice. I know the name makes it sound like a crazy person but it's not. They put the news into perspective and talk about ways to help your community. When the government and other social structures are gone.

Also if you want to talk I would be happy to be your penpal.

That is such a good episode really showed DS9 is not black and white and still speaks about the world today.

Hmm i wonder who made that show... Ronald D Moore for the win again 😁

Yeah if you watch the interview with the director that was the while point of them movie was. How far people would go for politeness.

Underneath the cover there is reenforcement bars in that pattern so there is more mass to conduct heat

I keep thinking a puffer fish would not survive for long in aquarium like that. Hopefully that is saltwater and that's not a gold fish as they are fresh water fish.

Agreed the track pads are far more than a pointing device. Creating virtual onscreen menus with mode shift was a Game changer. It needs to fully support steam input. I don't need to relearn my controls becase I'm going from portable to docked mode.

Because powerful people turned politics from a policy / representation in to politics as an identity. People will almost anything for their two minutes of hate.

This a good thought, but I think that's how you get the T virus.

I think what people forget as in the nu trek writing staff is something Ronald D Moore said about writing for TNG. Star Trek was one of the few shows that where they could do all the genres in a single season. One day it would be a western the next it can be a medical drama. The next a courtroom drama.

Most of the new shows it's the same story every season. There is a MacGuffin, the crew does a scavenger hunt to find said MacGuffin and that MacGuffin saves the universe.

The doomsday clock is still around and takes climate change into its calculations. we are 90 seconds to midnight as of this year.

I use a deck to control robots at a theme park.

You know what you are correct i should have done a search before posting thanks for the correction

TNG season 1 is a good start its rough around the edges and if it starts to look like the movie "Coming to America" go ahead and skip that episode. Just watch knowing it's going to get better like Park and Rec but it sets up a lot of storylines that will pay off later and some classic episodes that people forget are season 1 like "Datalore".

If you think about it and want to be cynical and game the system intentionally not making white men the protagonist. Will piss off right wingers. They boycot it and create a bunch of press then everyone else rush to your defense and you sell even more copies.

+1 on just sub view. I have two accounts one that has news and politics and one that has none and on my non politics account I see almost none of it other than the stay comment in another sub and because I have the two accounts if it becomes a problem i have no issue just blocking that person. Since I can see their content on the other account.

Can we all just agree that Dude is a gender agnostic term and doesn't just refer to men. It's what Bill and Ted would have wanted.

Yeah I don't really notice as I stopped playing multi-player games after quake 3 and I just keep playing quake 2 and Doom

Like windows for all games or just anti cheat games cause Linux gaming support is pretty great on most games that are not outright hostile towards it like kernel level anti-cheat games you should give it a try.

Yeah but who creates most of the service jobs Small business owners and they are not the ones I'm talking about in the capitalist group. The real capitalists just convinced them they are in the capitalist group so they vote with the first group.

I call them the embarrassed millionaires as they vote against themselves on the off chance they make it to the that next tier. The problem men like Howard Pew and John Birch stack the deck against us before most of us were even born.

Remember it was the National Association of Manufacturers and their meeting with James William Fifield Jr in response to FDRs the New Deal that started all this. You can draw a line directly from that meeting to Billy Graham to Ronald Ragan to The Tea Party to Trump.

Also automation is already be coming for those service jobs. Self checkout or order kiosk / mobile ordering anyone at McDonald's. It turns a service job into a manufacturing job.
