Thanks!

I don’t watch NuTrek (other than lower decks). People tell me Strange New Worlds is good, but I was never that into TOS and I’ll be damned if I’m going through a singing episode.

Which IDEs?

So how complete an operating system is SteamOS? Does it have LCARS?

Yeah, the cops on that show are better than regular cops… they address those things… and that might make you think that some of those that work forces - are just like your good little parasocial friends on the show!

Which is how propaganda is supposed to work. So you saying:

In fact they directly address some of the ways that cops abuse their positions.

Is not really a rebuttal to it being Copaganda. That’s how propaganda works, it gives you a better version of reality.

Section 31, so the buyer is probably a romulan from the future. She should kid nap the buyer and torture them for scientific advancements she can then make early in the name of the Federation.

No copaganda for me thanks.

Oh no, Windows 10 won’t get updates from their vibe coding era!

If we’re going to discuss this Chief, I think we should use the cone of silence. The lowering mechanism is broken right now, so Hymie has offered to get it down.

Why would I choose cheap boring ones though, also, you’re not my hobby allocator. My constant need for novelty and complete lack of discipline are.

Hobbies ain’t cheap, I can’t just start a new one every time I’m bored with the old one.

Bottom left genuinely looks like Mark Zuckerberg. I have no idea why.

Stop paying the kid allowance on the premise they weren’t watching the tribble close enough.

It’s unfortunate that young leftists don’t understand the real territory of rightwing politics (their deeper espoused values), because there are genuine avenues for fractures and change there.

Conservatives tend to be statists even though they’ve been brainwashed into thinking they’re not. They tend to want grand projects, community halls, roman columns, socialism for their neighborhoods, family, community, and churches - none of which economic Libertarians agree with. Libertarians would be buying the marble back to sell it on the freemarket then eyeing the family and wondering why they can’t buy them as slaves too. Really opposing philosophies if you go by their ideals.

Then throw the Christian Distributism, Communitarianism, and Georgism in there, and Conservativism starts to look pretty leftwing, leaving Libertarians out in the cold.

Throw in a concept like Aesthetic Justice, the idea that poor suburbs should look and be designed to be beautiful and that that would reduce crime, create safer, more neighbourly communities - stuff like that might even break the conservative’s love of military policing.

It’s all a matter of perspective.

Yeah there are ideologies that most people can’t handle or comprehend today:

This and Rockerfeller Republicanism (sometimes called the east coast elite).

Then there are things that make more sense, like Christian Distributism, Communitarianism, Georgism. Put all this together and you realise, there are definitely ways to Socialism that run through Conservatism. Most people can’t handle or understand this idea.

Conservativism is actually quite incompatible with Libertarianism (and even to some degree Neo-Liberalism). Conservativism and Libertarianism can be a very unhappy marriage at times.

Yes Bobby, I’m “just” a Bat’leth salesman - but I do it with honor.

Now grab that cleaning cloth, you’ve been promoted to blade-wipe.
