- Comment on Kate Mulgrew told Rick Berman she wanted a gay character on the Voyager bridge 1 week ago:
As a cishet white male who dislikes Voyager, I would absolutely have enjoyed a clueless straight Tom Paris trying to set gay Harry up.
Instead he turned into a fish and kidnapped Janeway to, and I will be very gracious to the writing staff here, have consensual offspring with her.
Why did I tell myself I needed to watch that show? Worst trek. 😢

I will die on the Enterprise theme song hill.

- Comment on Star Trek Is Showing More Love To Scott Bakula’s Enterprise 2 weeks ago:
As someone who watched it with no nostalgia glasses: it is not good trek.
I can't think of a really outstanding episode off the top of my head (maybe the Tuvix one? But even that is just ... rough?). And there are some episodes in there that I actively dislike in a way I don't with most of the other series.
I like Kate Mulgrew, she was a strong actor for the role and the theme is a banger, otherwise .. meh.

well, on the plus side, the killer is in jail now. It shouldn't take national protests for that to happen, though.

I know: I will take this stupid idea and make money making fun of it.
This kinda content is garbage, just like the content it's making fun of.
I should stop whining and just unsub. These videos are lame.

You're right, my fault. Thanks!

Hello, I am now confused. Can someone link me the song being discussed because I think I only know the US opening?
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
I'll say that this reaction does nothing to make me think you are approaching this with any objectivity.
The argument, to me, seems to be that it's impossible in the modern world as things stand to actually totally avoid animal products. That would seem like an issue that Veganism should be concerned with.
I see your point, I think, about it being an individual choice. But though I have heard of things like vegan shoes, I can see how saying those are vegan when you may not control all the inputs seems problematic.
Regardless, your response was so unpleasant that I don't think I'm much interested in continuing.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 1 month ago:
Can you explain what's wrong with this argument? As a relatively disinterested observer it seems reasonable to me.
- Comment on Why does the government of the USA stand by the country of Israel? 1 month ago:
We need to trust such a country to be judicious in their use of force, to not engage in any unnecessary conflict that puts both they and their allies at risk, and we want that country to be stable and share our values.
Israel is not demonstrating these qualities, at least not now.
Given that, why should we continue our support?

- Comment on Rewatching TNG: classic Riker boning his way out of the problem 2 months ago:
Right? They play Riker being coerced into sex for laughs. It's the worst bit of the episode and if any other character were the target it would be very obvious why.

I lived through the first time they were cool, and now they're getting cool again as people realize buying everything from Amazon sucks.
