    Exactly, these people are supposed to be the most psychologically and mentally and physically tested people in the galaxy. It was a scandal in TNG when Lt “Broccoli” was less than 110% because this is supposed to be the Delta Force of a more enlightened era when we expend our energy on peace and prosperity, so everyone tried to get him up to Enterprise spec, and he did, and it was a win for everyone. Can you imagine a Discovery character on a Berman Trek bridge?

    Woke Kurtzman Trek is actually oddly misogynist if you think about it. Captain Janeway is a real, respectable officer who can go toe to toe with any man (or other) she encounters, because she’s badass, and a rock-solid Starfleet officer in the mold of Kirk, Picard, and Sisko. Holly Hunter curled up in the captain’s chair like she’s getting cozy at home in front of a fire is a BAD look. Diverse casts of all shapes and orientations swearing at each other and acting like it’s high school, not a representation of a federation of hundreds of billions of sentients is a BAD look. Woke, dumb Kurtzman Trek portrays more female and diverse crews as less professional and dumber than their predecessors in Berman Trek, which I’m pretty sure is the opposite of what they’re trying to achieve.

    Edit: for router Cisco











  • It really doesn’t. Years ago I started using my own domain on one of the less desirable TLDs of the late 2000’s. By the 2020’s though, anything that’s not .blarg or .pizza or some bullshit is considered premium and so the cost to keep owning the domain I bought exponentially rose until I said “fuck it” to the cost. You never own a domain, you rent it, and the rent can spike by an infinite amount over time.


  • Nobody wants DRM riddled internet connected broadcast TV! If you have an internet connection and want to fuck with DRM and being spied on, you don’t need a bloody antenna! This whole fucking standard is being foisted on us because Nexstar and Sinclair have a fever dream that people will pay them a monthly fee for premium broadcast TV you need an internet connection anyway to watch, which WILL NEVER HAPPEN


  • Well the DNC doesn’t do real, democratic primaries in general (In the rare event of a primary voter revolt they just run Lieberman/Cuomo/whoever against their own voters in the general) so Newsom is on lock, assuming they don’t proactively decide to lose by ordaining Kamala again. The GOP does have a democratic primary process, so I give decent odds MTG beats JD in the 2028 primary if she runs, so it could be Kamala v MTG…
