It is fair to remember, however, that his biggest bombshells were from the Iraq war, which was a decidedly Republican endeavor. But I do agree that he looked more and more like a Russian asset as time went on.

As a chubby middle aged sales guy who remembers when we used to wear suits, I miss them because a suit and tie is about the best thing you can wear as a chubby guy to look good.
This is just the feel good story I was looking for today.
But think how many fewer removeds it is to deal with.
Get used to this being used as a weapon of hybrid warfare by enemies of the west
I guess my issues with stuff like the tardigrade, time bug, spore drive, etc. is that it’s just taking something from earth and putting it in space and saying it’s the “space version”. It’s so lazy and stupid. At least TOS usually had some interesting reasoning behind why these things were happening or they were different enough from anything on earth that at least they felt novel and innovative.
That’s kind of exactly what I don’t like about it and part of why I call it a “space marines” series. Gene’s vision is of a future where different life forms come together and work under a unified code and for the greater good. It’s not about one person rising to power and being the hero.
It feels like they are trying to graft the Star Wars theme onto Star Trek with hand wavey magical “forces” that don’t have even the most tenuous link to science, and singular heroes that make anything that’s worth happening happen. The original series at least tried to give a nod to the scientific consensus and then try to extrapolate it out.
I dislike Discovery, not true to Gene’s vision.
It stopped being sci-fi and started being fantasy when they started with magical tardigrades and “time bugs”. The rest plays like a space marines series.
Edit: also the spark and flame throwers on the bridge make it look like GWAR concert.

What exactly is negative mass?
Yeah but it sounds a lot better than “We’ve pursued a policy of understaffing to save costs”.
Indeed as capitalism and democracy have risen, war deaths have dropped precipitously.
As one of the geeks who built these phone systems back in the '90s, it’s one of my biggest regrets that I didn’t do this.
I think it’s also about depleting Russia to the maximum extent possible.
Sad that you chose an .ml community to come back to. You can’t talk about Russia or China at all without getting deleted there, unless it’s saying that Tienamen Square never happened or something like that.
I had to block a handful of bad actors, maybe around 15, and don’t have much issue now. As usual it’s a very small, very vocal minority that’s doing most of the shitting in the pool. Unfortunately many are also mods of communities like [email protected], so generally not subscribing to stuff there is a good policy too.
Still better than pulling bullshit out of your ass.
Deactivating a clean energy source means that you have to get energy from somewhere else. If they hadn’t taken the nuclear plants offline, they could have taken coal plants offline instead. So the fact that there are still coal plants operating means that they did, in fact replace nuclear with coal, even if they don’t add more capacity to do it.
You have to be happy for the little things in life like a car not smashing through your conservatory.
