Agreed, I bounced off of Discovery but SNW is great. Having heard mixed things about Picard I haven't gotten around to that one but maybe sometime.
Skip right to season 3 of Picard, Terry Matalas gives a shit about TNG lore and does his best to stay true to the characters. Academy is what happens when theater kids get a hold of Star Trek, but don't care about the source material, it's why they set the show 800 years beyond TNG-DS9 timeline. It(Academy ) did so poorly, they shot two seasons and canceled the show after airing the first season.

Way to go. Cannot wait for Woke 2.0 to make you all feel like you'll pine for the halcyon days of 2014.
Take note dear readers, we've passed the "woke doesn't exist" phase and we're on the "woke 2.0" will be better phase. We've skipped the "woke exists a little bit", and "woke is omnipresent and it's a good thing" phases. Please remember this when we are subjected to the "woke never happened" phase like with COVID lockdowns.

Can you name one of the "non-stop lies" Jimmy Kimmel (or even ABC for that matter) spewed?
Jimmy claimed that Charlie Kirk's alleged shooter was a MAGA. When the bosses at Disney found out just how poorly that was going to be taken by the affiliates, they quickly pulled Jimmy off the air. Now Kimmel is a piece of shit, but no one would mistake him for a news broadcast. The View is were Disney tries to cake and eat it too with sometimes it's a news broadcast(not subject to in kind donation to campaigns), some times it's opinion and therefore not slander. There's the real problem. But you clowns don't want consistency, you want 2 minutes of hate at the orange man.

That's actually not true at all. Please tell me how many American FDR called evil?
I'm guessing all the Japanese he threw in camps. Oh shit, bet you forgot about that one.

Because everyone who disagrees with you must be in this country illegally? Were the cops beaten to at the US capitol on January 6th illegal immigrants too?
Beaten to what? Were you going to say death? B/c then I'll have to cue the Jonathan Frakes," Did not happen, pure fiction" meme. Btw that demonstrates the failing of the so called "free press" that you continue to believe the false statements regarding police being beaten to death on Jan 6th.

The entire concept of national borders is stupid. It plays the human race against each other as a lottery of where you born, as if there isn't enough inequality in the world.
Oh you're one of those "magic soil" retards. If you don't believe in national borders, then you don't believe in Nations, which raises several questions including how do you feel large groups of people should govern themselves, and how does one interact with said government?
Sincerely: "an immigrant" (just one of those lucky enough to have a shade of skin colour to be welcomed in western countries).
Again why do you think those Western Countries are desirable? It's b/c of a history that includes the formation of nation-states with, wait for it ... borders!

You Right Wing Liar #1 in poverty is Louisiana - followed by Mississippi - BOTH RED STATES https://worldpopulationreview.... #1 in taxes is Hawaii - a RED STATE https://wallethub.com/edu/stat... #1 in illiteracy is New Mexico - followed by Louisiana & Mississippi. Again, RED STATES. https://usafacts.org/articles/... This is tied to poverty - see 1st point Get your head off Phaux Noise and look at facts.. oh, i guess your "dear leader" doesn't look a facts so your ignorance is par.
ooooh, so close, but after your self righteous chest beating about facts and all that, you then said Hawaii, a state that hasn't voted Republican since 1984! Was a red state. Yikes! Hell it's been ~55% for Democrats since 1988(with giant margins for home town candidate Obama), That's not just a slight mistake, that's in the not even wrong territory. So maybe chill and do some research first.

but in places like New Mexico and Texas, they're building these data centers in deserts. If you evaporate a gigaliter of water in these areas, it's not staying in your watershed. It's going to move at least 300~500 miles, in regions where cattle ranchers and farmers have been struggling with water already for decades.
Counter point, maybe don't farm in a desert or grow almonds there.
You can eat what comes out of a farm. You can't eat what comes out of a data center.I can live without almonds, thanks.

Why did you bring this into the conversation? Did someone say it was bad everywhere but it was ok on Jan 6th?
Probably b/c Jan 6th, and a persons reaction to it is highly indicative of one's political bias. All those people screaming ACAB, were eerily silent about Ashley Babbitt. Heck, there's still normies convinced a dozen Capital police were beaten to death by angry mobs on that day. So when the people screech about the "carceral state", yet say nothing about Jan 6er's sitting in jail awaiting trial/charging, a person's reaction to Jan 6 proves as a barometer of their particular level of political hypocrisy.

Wow, I did not think blue no matter who individuals still existed. It will be interesting to peer into the mind of one such as yourself.
The Republicans absolutely need to be sat in the naughty-boy corner for a bunch of election cycles till they flush the whackos that have commandeered the party. But its not enough Part of the problem is that the Democrats also need to think long and hard about who they serve. Trump should have been *impossible*. In a healthy country nobody would have voted for a raging whackadoodle like him.
Oh we're getting close to taking some accountability for creating an environment where Trump could win. Shows promise.
Then you throw in a pandemic that utterly upended everyones lives and left the economy a lot more precarious,
Now you've missed the plot. The lack of trust in govt. and institutions? That was fueled by the constant streams of lies, "2 weeks to flatten the curve, 2 months and then everything will return to normal. Lock downs have 0 negative effects. Falling off a roof while testing positive for COVID equals another COVID death, etc."
Then get some constitutional ammendments to ensure that the executive will never ever ever be capable of corrupting democracy, justice, the public service, and the rule of law ever again.
Don't worry your DSA brethren will get rid of all of that and create a unicameral legislative committee.
It NEEDS to be a party OF the people FOR the people and BY the people
Don't worry Tovarish, we will root out the kulaks!

Like a broken clock, you are partially correct. The people should be afraid of anyone trying to dismiss political thought they don't like as mental illness. That is a cheap and easy way to stifle debate. Unfortunately, your assertion that social justice is an automatic good, has not been proven. As C.S. Lewis once wrote. "Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience."

Dude... any thoughts where the L-F-P comes from? LiFe are the first two letters, and Phosphate is PO4.
Amen brother, it is truly staggering how the grand parent post got modded +3 insightful. Wow, /. has hit the skids hard.

Look at European democracies where coalition governments are the norm, where the system is designed to prevent any one party gaining complete power. Planning is longer term, and there is more certainty in future policy direction.The only certainty in Europe is gridlock, and a nearly religious adherence to half baked Green policy ideas.

Now we got to the time of the cretinous people who honestly believe "the five scariest words in the English language are 'I'm from the government and I'm here to help'". This means that instead of trying to ensure that their government is doing sensible things and ensuring that their country develops, they instead set out to destroy everything. Not cretinous, they just can't count(it's nine). Anyways, the modern equivalent would be I'm a consultant, and I'm here to help fix your diversity problem.(See Sweet Baby Inc, Codes of Conduct etc). Also the classic the bureaucracy is expanding to meet the needs of the expanding bureaucracy.

I'm really shocked over everyone screaming over here, apparently defending telecoms selling your location data.
This is merely evidence of hyper-partisanship, in this case TDS, but yeah, Trump could cure cancer, and some people would become pro-cancer just out of spite.
