Because someone shouldn’t use the excuse that “Twitter is a shit hole” to disregard criticism from everywhere.

But again, all of this was implied. And I felt like it was perfectly understandable.

I honestly don’t mind explaining things, but you’re being super argumentative about not understanding this.

Asking for clarification isn’t a big deal, trying to start arguments from a mod account tho

It’s a bad look.

I mean, I could have explicitly pointed out that any opinion from Twitter is worthless…

I thought:

While true

Covered that.

While true, Dr Who came out incredibly strong and there always had to be an eventually drop in quality.

Trying to mask it with special effects when the whole vibe was cheesy practical effects that would stay cheesy but watchable 20 years later.

Like, they really just lost the plot, trying to show in huge revelations constantly instead of just focusing on making great episodes that loosely over a couple years resolve a plot point.

The less corporations there are, the less executives there can be…

Nepotism will always take precedence, so the more a handful of corps control, the higher the percentage of executives are complete idiots.

Because all the new babies will always get a spot and preference on promotions.

Their percentage will always climb until critical mass where everyone is a nepo baby unqualified for even the easiest decisions.

They might have an MBA, but they got it into their school in the first place because of that nepotism. It doesn’t mean they know anything about business. Doesn’t trump have a business degree? Lots of idiots have MBAs

The Captain isn’t going down with the ship…

I only care about the 4tb of personal data and I push that to a cloud backup

I have doubles of the data. Some of 'em. That way I know I have a pristine one in backup. Then I can use it, it gets corrupted, I don’t care.

Actually, I have triples of the W2s. I have triples, right? If I don’t, the other stuff’s not true.

See, the W2s the one I have triples of. Oh, no, actually, I also have triples of the kids photos, too. But just those two. And your dad and I are the same age, and I’m rich and I have triples of the W2s and the kids photos.

Triples makes it safe.

Triples is best.

Yeah, you’re good.

I was making a crossover joke.

What is this, a crossover episode community?

Oh, they got Ozzy’s old boy for this?

So your argument is that you can’t have a utopia if you can inherit your parents belongings?

I’m saying if one vineyard has been in the same family for a thousand years…

Anyone who says everything is fair and equal doesn’t know what they’re talking about.

It’s not a utopia because it’s not a classless society.

It’s what modern day oligarchs would call a utopia.

For Picard’s vineyard, it’s a family legacy and heirloom, so he gets a pass.

And so do all of his descendants who inherit it in perpetuality

An unchanging social structure with no means for mobility.

Either your family was rich enough to own land centuries ago, or you never will be.

Utopia!

/s

But if you want your own vineyard and there’s enough land then you get one.

And then your descendants always get it because it’s a family legacy and heirloom…

So even if there’s “open land” it’s going to run out eventually.

Buddy, if you think someone who’s watched all of Star Trek once is an “expert” than it’s more likely I know a lot more about it than you…

I just understand some people have all this shit memorized, and you are overconfident in your knowledge of the show.

Which is something that goes beyond Star Trek, often the people who know the most say they don’t know everything, and the people who say they know it all. Just aren’t aware of how much there is to know.

Have fun being overconfident tho.

I legitimately don’t know:

But would just every random human have access to a replicator 24/7?

Like, that would be a tally in the Utopia column, but even then, the amount of waste and trash produced would be a problem.

Even in an absolutely ideal situation like that, it would end like The Good Place where getting anything you want burns out your dopamine system.

I dunno. Like I said I’m not a Star Trek expert, I just don’t trust a bunch of rich people working for the one world government telling us the 99.99% of humans we never see are living perfect lives.

It’s fictional so it could be real if the writers want it to be. But it’s a lot more realistic if not everything was as perfect as we’re told, or even Starfleet officers believe.

Not a big trekie, but I never trusted the “Earth is a giant utopia and everything is perfect” story

Like, I’m sure there’s a class of people most of Starfleet is made up of like Picard, but not everyone on earth owns a fucking vineyard.

I always thought The Expanse was probably how it really was. No one “has to work” because there’s not enough work. So the majority of the population gets a little UBI and blows it on drugs and alcohol to numb the emptiness

Like, do they even show “current earth” that much in Star Trek? Or is it just wealthy Starfleet members talking about how awesome their lives were?

I dunno, it’s just an unbelievable story. If it’s really supposed to be a perfect utopia, it’s just unbelievable writing.

Oh yeah, I was just making a joke about remembering Minouge.

It’s really good.

In the OG movie “what we do in the shadows” there’s two cops that show up and get hypnotized, they’re the two main characters in Wellington Paranormal.

So every episode is like a monster of the week type deal where they bumble thru paranormal investigations. It’s arguably better than the mainstream American spinoff, but much lesser known. And obviously without the star-studded castings.

Apparently it got taken off HBO recently, but it’s a big ocean and everythings out there if you’re brave enough to sail.

That’s 100% what it is

You jogged my memory and the person I was thinking of definitely was Minouge because he clearly had a “M” on his forehead.

That shows seriously under-rated, so props for being able to remember

“Enhance”

“I can’t enhance, that’s not a real thing”

“Well just zoom in then”

“We can’t zoom in anymore, you have to just get up closer to the screen”.

I wanna say Spaceballs, but I don’t think that’s right? Brooklyn 99?

Anybody remember where that’s from?

This has been a PSA on the dangers of playing Crusader Kings when having multiple days off…

It’s weird to see people still argue even more should shut down and literally no one should work today…

To lots of people it’s just a normal Wednesday (it’s dude’s day my dudes).

Especially if they needed to use up personal days to celebrate other holidays
