Don’t tell him about that Lower Decks episode.

How’s Giant Spock doing?

Considering the newest Mario game got a shitload of ideas from Mario maker levels, anyone who was good at mario making enough to be creative with the formula had their labor stolen as RnD for Wonder

The original series is very 1960s and I wouldn’t recommend for a jumping in point. I’d go with next Gen for that, it’s the quintessential trek more so than the original having had 3 spinoffs in the 90s and defining most of the canon. Here’s the issue though, the first 2 seasons of tng really suck. Like maybe the worst 2 seasons of the whole franchise. I’d check out some best of lists for those seasons and maybe sprinkle a couple random ones in, they did 26 hour long episodes per season and there are some amazing clunkers there, bad episodes are part of trek and you’ve gotta learn to enjoy them, but those first 2 seasons are rough.

They’ll say they don’t need to because they’ll have the Perfect Riot that makes everyone be on their side. Then we can have no states or corporations but the idea of both really fresh in everyone’s mind and no centralized authority to stop anyone from practicing it even more brutally than before. To be an anarchist under capitalism is to be an anarcho capitalist whether you like it or not.

When were these socialist states supposed to wither away? Would these uhhhhh ‘autonomous territories’ (not a state somehow) be left alone by the rest of the world except to provide them with beneficial and fair trade? The capitalist world they would presumably have had to do a domestic revolt against to make their 'Consensus Based Free Occupation Zone (not a state btw). After they do an anarchism there it will exist perpetually and self sustaining in a global vacuum until the rest of the world does a critical mass. Fucking Adam Sandler in Uncut Gems would say that’s a risky fucking gamble. Cause it’s guaranteed to fail as a demonstrated fact. Consolidation or dispersal of power has been the constant ebb and flow of history and switching from one to the other has generally been how new phases of history form. Tribalism to consolidated slave empires to diffuse manorialism to consolidated mercantilisim to diffuse modern capitalism I don’t think it’s some woo predestination thing, it’s just how one status quo is replaced by another, one is the others weakness to be exploited and that do be the cycle. Communism at least anticipates it’s own diffusion and hopes for it.

I don’t understand reading levels. How good is a sixth grade supposed to read? I was apparently reading at a college level in third grade based on a word comprehension test I had to do, which is nonsense or college is really fucking easy.

A real Wild Guns sequel

What is odd is just how fast that rug got pulled out. I’m friends with a few people in medical jobs and they all encouraged to sign petitions to make right to die legal and all thatand the terms NEVER EVER had anything close to cases outside the already terminal. I think there was an assumption of medical ethics.

My grandfather took the option a while back when nit was pretty new and the eugenics angle hadn’t become entangled. He was dying of COPD and chose to cut things off on his own terms surrounded by family instead of letting himself degrade for maybe years and putting my grandmother through all that. That was the situation this was advertised as when it was under debate for legislation and then a couple years later, really a very short period of time all of this awful shit that was not at all part of the deal suddenly came with it.
