We’re clearly experiencing two different realities here and this just isn’t gonna work. Sorry, have a good one.

The designs chosen for alien characters are based on the limitations and of the technology of their time, not just creative wants. You know why Klingons were so hairy up till disco? Because wigs were cheaper and look better on camera than full body prosthetics did. Remember the fish heads?

But now they have a lot better prosthetic technology so let’s reinterpret the designs for this new show. We can maintain the characteristics from the text but we can also change the things we did because they were more practical then.

But then we get to your last paragraph and you completely lose me. How you made that jump from what I said is just, bravo. 👏🏻 that’s some fancy gymnastics right there. Again, people who can’t understand that stories produced in live action actually have to exist in reality and make choices for practical and not just creative reasons are absolutely insufferable.

Yeah, how dare those artists do their jobs! I can’t stand this sentiment. Times and technology change, and so designs can change because of that. Yes they ham fisted an explanation witht the ENT arc. But like, should we go back to the racist Asian caricature based look? People who can’t separate the stories from the fact that they are real productions that have to actually exist in reality don’t deserve Star Trek.

No one can resist that gay man in a watermelon shirt

Yes but not when it’s something that’s basically just a stock photo. Ill take a big ass watermark across real faces over slop any and everyday.

Really we should all be saying coyōtl if we wanna be pedantic about which version is the ‘correct’ one. As coyote is just another example of linguistic imperialism in action and is taken from Nahuatl.

I think you’re missing a ‘the’ too?

That’s some good shit right there

I too saw that instagram reel… mmmh regurgitated content just like mamma used to make it.

seriously this is the kind of article that only exists to skim off bits your your attention in exchange for ad revenue. At least it looks like this Mick Joest didnt use an llm to write the text.

lol i think you’re missing the context of Ron Moore being a central pillar of the creative direction of star trek. Just saying, he didnt just ‘continue to write’.

More of this please

Gurl u gon break ur desk

It’s %100 rom and it’s a perfect description of him

Ethan Philips’ handsomeness never doesn’t surprise me

Ron Canada was way better as The Klingon Lawyer in that episode the empire tried to frame Worf.

Look at those cultures celebrating something they hold important for no other reason that it brings them joy and a sense of community, idiots.

Like sure it’s been co-opted and commercialized but this attitude of ‘axshually celebrating new years is stupid for these logical reasons’ is really tiresome. Especially in a community that’s supposed to lift people and cultures up not make fun of them for what makes them happy.

I need lemmy to be able to sense when I’m already cranky and just disable my ability to comment on a 12hr cooldown.

Ooooooh! Ok that’s really cool. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain that!

Sorry if this question is easily answerable by reading and I’m just missing it. But I genuinely don’t really understand what this product does or what its use case is. Is it a usb stick that gives you kvm access to a computer from a remote location? Like call up someone in another building ‘hey plug the jet into tower X so I can remote in?’ In which case how is this better/worse/just different from a software solution like Barrier? Sorry if I’m being borderline deliberately obtuse but the website gives no info on the home page at all.

Edit: I think I understand better, digging into it more. But if anyone has an ELI5 I would greatly appreciate it.

It’s not even a demotion, it’s just reclassification. There’s no hierarchy of importance of solar system objects. People against a more accurate understanding of reality are dumb.
