- Comment on I want to see Vulcan fail 1 week ago:
Sarek felt that he could have demonstrated more affection towards his human wife in a way that was meaningful to her. That is not the same thing as saying that Vulcan culture is unaffectionate.
- Comment on I want to see Vulcan fail 1 week ago:
OP is referring to Vulcan culture. Sarek’s displays of affection would probably not be considered “restrained” in a Vulcan-Vulcan relationship.
- Comment on I want to see Vulcan fail 1 week ago:
I don’t know if it’s correct to say that Vulcan culture is unaffectionate, just affectionate in the way you prefer. Remember: Spock was played the way he was in the 1960s to demonstrate the distance humans are willing to go to tolerate other cultures, no matter how (literally in this case) alien.
There’s definitely a lot to unpack in suggesting that their culture deserves to “fail” because they do not assimilate (lol) into your culture.

I love the TOS Mudd episodes (and Roger Carmel’s performance) but I have to agree with everything you said.
- Comment on Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives 2 weeks ago:
Mastodon has more of a flat structure and is designed to be more conversational which is why I think it hasn’t caught on amongst celebrities and the pundit class. It’s great for conversation but only so-so at self promotion.
- Comment on Eight years on, Mastodon stubbornly survives 2 weeks ago:
@rysiek@mstdn.social’s blog is one of my favorites. He really understand the social aspect to a lot of modern technology.

I’m still waiting on an Okana spinoff simply titled Star Trek: Outrageous

Oh my yes.

Well, this season looks officially ridiculous.

- Comment on Three original movies are being released in theaters today 3 weeks ago:
Yeah but I think it’s childish to complain about movies “might as well not existing” if you haven’t even looked for them.
- Comment on Why is a two-party system considered democratic? 4 weeks ago:
The American system is far from ideal but I’m convinced 90% of social media posts decrying a “lack of choice” or “monoparty” are cynical actors trying to make pro-democracy voters feel hopeless. I remember in 2019 all of the “The DNC installed Biden” language was all over Reddit.

Well said and I’m glad to see this perspective expressed. “Entertainment” is the spice we give art to well, spice it up. But without the art part, pure entertainment is to our minds like eating a bowl of candy is to our bodies.

Oh yeah I should have mentioned that the whole interview is great

- Comment on AI Slop Is a Brute Force Attack on the Algorithms That Control Reality 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I have to imagine much of it is bots/artificial views already, this line from the article stood out:
That means this short reel has been viewed more times than every single article 404 Media has ever published, combined and multiplied tens of times.
It doesn’t shock me a single reel has significantly more views than all of 404 media, but “multiplied tens of times”? A recent comment me chuckle:
“Investor fraud is basically the entire business model of well basically everything anymore.”
(implying the ad views are faked to increase the stock price).
- Comment on AI Slop Is a Brute Force Attack on the Algorithms That Control Reality 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s interesting how “maximizing for engagement” inevitably leads to slop taking over everything. I wonder if real people (with real money) will continue to engage with the slop? Some people surely, but enough to sustain these mega-corps?

- Comment on Inching closer to the grave every day 5 weeks ago:
The nepotism part has always been true, but the category of celebrities “being famous talent” did not exist until Paris Hilton. Socialites and “famous” talent-less people like Florence Foster Jenkins did not have “fans” the way influences do today.

- Comment on Christie's First-Ever AI Art Auction Earns $728,000, Plus Controversy 1 month ago:
Well said. I think AI “art” is really best considered just a form of entertainment since there is no human perspective put into it. Adam Savage said it best (paraphrasing here) “In order for me to be interested in a work of art it needs to be coming from a point of view. I don’t see anything resembling a point of view with AI.”

Is there a source anywhere for this besides this youtubers saying so? I searched but was unable to find anything.

“Fag” is a homophobic slur and “shoop da woop” is a blackface meme and yes it was all very normal 4chan.

/r/conservative is not comprised of real conservative people, it only exists to expose “normie” redditors to MAGA propoganda while giving the MAGA movement the pretense of legitimacy.
