Indeed my good person, now that we have proven that fart accidents are real, let’s go back to farting and blaming it in the dog
- Comment on There are no accidents 3 days ago:
Interesting theory, except that if you can fart on command then you probably won’t have to worry about accidentally farting.
- Comment on There are no accidents 3 days ago:
I’m confused. Do you mean that you’ve never accidentally farted or are you saying that we should all try to intentionally intensify our farts and own it?

- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 1 week ago:
So your argument is that you can’t have a utopia if you can inherit your parents belongings?
I would also argue that the accumulation of goods and hoarding resources would not be tolerated. So if you’re rich before the fall you’re probably not now. But my assumption is that if you can justify owning lots of land by something other than greed then you probably won’t keep/get it.
Yes land would be a finite resource and would be closely regulated.
Star Trek is a dream that will never come true because it assumes that all humans would be rational and reasonable. That’s just inconceivable.

Do people fantasize about that? I would think that the writers and show runners should get the flak for DISC, that was a terrible redemption story, “The only why to stop this war, is more war”, like wtf were they thinking?
List of captain’s major misdeeds from the top of my head-
Sisko was accomplice to murder and many war crimes by his crew. Didn’t go to jail and actually became a god.
Can’t think of any serious crimes Picard committed and got away with. There were a couple times he disobeyed orders but it was usually to save or protect someone or something, and that was few and far between.
Janeway broke the prime directive every Tuesday, except when she was stopping someone else from breaking it.
Kirk broke the temporal prime directive and the regular prime directive, routinely disobeyed orders, stole the enterprise, and wasn’t afraid to step into some morally gray areas. He got positive results, so he got demoted and promoted and demoted and got promoted to desk duty.
Pike hasn’t really stepped out of line except when he help DISC escape the rogue AI thing and breaking the temporal prime directive.
Archer was stubbling into trouble by mistake and there weren’t really any rules for him to break but I can’t think of any major crimes.
Freeman wasn’t really onscreen much but she doesn’t seem to be the start a mutiny, shoot first and start an galaxy wide war type.
Worf would never dishonor federation or his family.
Riker wasn’t on screen much but he does seem like he would get into some trouble, although when he was #1 he doesn’t seem like the mutiny and start wars type either.

DISC did a lot of bad things to Trek just for shock value. But in a utopia there still has to be rules, Burnham committed probably the worst crime in the Trek universe, she disobeyed a direct order, started a mutiny and opened fire on an alien ship, which started a war killing millions. The only reason she got out of prison was because her boyfriend from an evil universe broke her out of prison under false pretenses hoping that since she started a war in this universe that she was just as evil as her counterpart. How messed up is that? Then her redeeming moment is she seized command of the ship and starts a civil war and threatens to blow up another species home world to end the war she started. That’s some cowboy shit right there. All because he has unresolved child hood trauma. She deserved to got to federation vacation colony for life.
Kelvinverse would have been great as a big budget sci-fi franchise if it wasn’t set in the Trek universe. You can pretty much ignore Kelvinverse movies and pretend that it was just a fun experiment.
SFA and SNW are just trying to undo the mistakes of DISC.
PIC got a lot of things wrong but shared trauma from an unprovoked attack by the Romulans hacking Androids and forcing them to attack people would trigger mass panic and fear that it could happen again, I don’t think that’s far fetched.
- Comment on Why do they turn Federation into a dystopia? 1 week ago:
A utopia will never exist because a utopia implies that everyone and everything is perfect, but this will never happen because human instinct and diversity won’t allow it. In Star Trek this utopia was started after WW3 followed by massive genocide followed by people just trying to survive. So there was a hard reset for humanity.
For Picard’s vineyard, it’s a family legacy and heirloom, so he gets a pass. But if you want your own vineyard and there’s enough land then you get one.
Here’s where Star Trek kind of falls apart, someone has to mine the raw resources that can’t be replicated or do menial tasks that no one would want to do even 200 years from now. How does that work? If the work you do still equates to social ranking and resource allocation then does the steel worker also get prime real estate next to the president of the federation?
I love Star Trek but it’s just a dream that will never exist, the idea of Star Trek could never exist just based on the simple fact of the fans can’t even agree on what it is. To me it’s Sci-fi adventures in a world where people can be open about who they are but also none threatened or threatening about it, where everyone works together to accomplish a goal, where doing what you love is payment enough.

It’s definitely easy to poke holes in the logic and suspend disbelief for so long. At the end of the day it’s an idea that if all basic human needs are taken care of then what would we do?
The replicator is also the trash collector and dish washer. When you’re done with your food you just put the left overs back into the replicator and when you “relieve yourself” it goes back into the replicator. Want new furniture? Replicator. Want new clothes? Replicator. So on so forth.
The only thing that is in short supply is energy, so there have been occasional mention of energy rations or credits that can be traded for services. There are still some resource limitations and you have to work or be productive and contributing member of society to gain access. But if you wish to sit around until you get bed sores then you can do that, you will probably be ignored and be an outsider and get visits from healthcare workers.

Wait which bridge?
Like DS9 where everyone is all over place and shouting to be heard? Like NX01 and TOS where everyone is facing away from each other and have to spin around to make eye contact because the cap likes to look at the backs of people’s heads? Like DISC where everyone is spread so far apart (like they have cooties) and away from the captain that she can’t even remember who’s on duty and everyone but the helms women and the cap have to stand the whole time? Like VOY and TNG where everyone has assigned seats and can actually see the TV (view screen)?
- Comment on Start-up idea 1 week ago:
I do think they are onto something. I just want a dishwasher that washes dishes, a dryer that just dries, a refrigerator that refrigerates. I don’t need another camera and tablet or more “smart” crap in my home, it’s just one more thing to break or need updating. I just need things that work reliablely when I need them to work.
Also, less plastic in the manufacturing material would be great. Just me thinking out loud but it also seems like it would be easier to control the life span by using plastic because you can play with the chemistry to start breaking down at a certain amount of usage and temperature and age.

Because spicy is not a flavor. Spicy is more like an allergic reaction to a chemical that certain plants excrete as a defense mechanism. Humans are just weirdos because we enjoy our mouths and buttholes being on fire.

- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 2 weeks ago:
No one hates the USA more than US Americans, but we also unite against foreign hostility, it’s like an exclusive club for self haters. So I’m sure the world views us in much the same way. Just from looking around and seeing the Trump flags coming down, it appears a significant portion of his past supporters are realizing that they made a mistake or are at least a little hesitant to proudly display their support.
I would say Trump has a hammer and every problem is a nail, but he’s not sure what a nail is or how to use a hammer so he just goes around hitting things with the wrong side of the hammer. So now everyone else thinks they all of the USA doesn’t know how to use hammers.

- Comment on Clickbait is Unreasonably Effective 2 weeks ago:
Yep, I’m sure this video is fine but not clicking the video and click bait with a click bait title.
The News is now 99% blatant click bait or subscription teasers. I think it’s important to educate people on click bait, it seems so obvious to me but I get the impression that a lot of people don’t know the difference. Usually when I do click on click bait is because it’s something that I probably would have clicked on anyway.
When I’m using a News app I have to be strategic in what I click on otherwise I’ll suddenly get inundated with junk or ads disguised as News because I accidentally tapped on something.

I don’t think I have ever been asked for my GPA or school transcripts. Usually they just check to see if I graduated.
If you for a corporation then yes, your job is to make someone else rich. If you don’t like it then start your own business and hope it doesn’t go tits up. You can also try to become internet famous but that’s hard if your parents aren’t already well off.
Adult hood and responsibility is rough. Good luck young dude.
