- Comment on I was the only one who thought this of Erica Ortega was non-binary or trans? 1 day ago:
Yeah I mean she was gender swamped from her TOS counterpart. But really the beauty of star trek is it really shouldn’t matter. She was pilot first that happens to identity as a woman and likes her hair styled that way.
That is what was star trek all about is not about calling out each identity, race and culture in celebration in an after school special kind of way but to normalize all kinds of people being up on that bridge.
- Comment on Do you think that these CBS employees should unionize and go on strike? 2 days ago:
Of course what I mean is with the people I’m dealing with. For example airline flight crew goes on strike. The guy at the ticket counter is not the one that did it. But I would blow up the executives in a heart beat.
- Comment on Do you think that these CBS employees should unionize and go on strike? 2 days ago:
The moment I get inconvenienced and hear its about a strike. I never blame the workers and my annoyance is halved.
- Comment on Valve has raised Steam Deck prices in the US 3 days ago:
Oof I mean I’m glad they are back in stock again but that stings. I do see valve being the only company that would lower them as soon as they are able though. Public shareholders wouldn’t let them if they were public.
- Comment on What's with black superheroes and lightning powers? 1 week ago:
Iris West, hawkgirl, jimmy olsen, Starfire, batwoman, Jim Gordon, Mary Jane
That is just the ones I can think of off the top of my head.
Note I don’t mind them at all changing the race of a character. But swapping gingers for another race just doesn’t seem like progress to me. Just shows they are only willing to make superficial changes. Instead of making awesome characters that just happen to be black or any other race or identity. Them writing a black sidekick or supporting character makes them just one dimensional.
I would like characters of all color, shapes, sexual preferences where their trait they don’t have a choice in becomes their whole personality.
That’s why old school star trek got it. Uhura was not on the bridge to tell black stories. She was there to be apart of the team that just happened to be black. It could have been better in terms of screen time but the core idea is still relevant today. A more modern example of them doing this really right was Brooklyn 99 with Captain Holt. That show showed him being a Captain and a father figure first. Him having a husband and being gay was shown as being what it is, Normal.

Wait till see red heads being turned into black characters pattern.

Same reason I used forums or the tildeverse meet people and give and receive insight from my fellow humans
- Comment on Steam lawsuits in a nutshell 1 month ago:
The problem is Valve is still a business where their income comes from providing products and services. The rest are no longer business in that sense anymore and are really just scams that make their money from convincing investors on the Perception that they have a sure fire way to milk their customer for even more money in the future to convince new investors to invest to pump up the stock to make the most money for the old investors or more so the ones with stock options.

- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 2 months ago:
The DoD thinks its a dumb idea to have a draft as the quality of the fighting force is degraded and other Incentives work better. The problem is facts and good reasoning are not something that the current administration is known for. Half want a Holy war to bring about Armageddon. The other half will do it based on something they see on social media.
- Comment on Fallout Game in Development at Xbox-Owned Studio Might Have Been Canceled; Bethesda Would Rather Staff Up Than Give It (or Elder Scrolls) to Others 2 months ago:
Well it was kind of a cheat using most of the people that created fallout 1 to make New Vegas. They really should just give it back to Tim and Leonard and team to do the next one.

This is very true nothing beats just having a ton of metal to throw at it. Had a Megahalems for 15 years with only minor dust cleaning from time to time.
- Comment on How does internet advertising work? Where is all the money coming from? More... 5 months ago:
Google cooks the books on ad sales and after being found out it makes a lot more sense on the actions they are doing now with their other products that ads we’re propping up.

- Comment on Is the RAM prices explosion another manufactured crisis to corps drain money from people before the AI bubble collapses? 5 months ago:
Yep this 100%. They are getting a windfall from the AI idiots that will pay a premium for it while they can without overextending themselves to do so but it means we lose. That how you know this is a bubble. The only good thing is they are smart enough to not overextend themselves so they won’t be impacted when the bubble does pop.

- Comment on Why does no one in the bible have a last name? 5 months ago:
last names were not a ancient thing that’s why a lot of names are based on a profession a lot of times it was based on the father’s name that’s why you have John’s son or transposed to Johnson
