Every time I’m unfortunate enough to turn on local talk radio, they are CONSTANTLY complaining about every. single. infrastructure project. No work on a road? It’s run down. Working on a road? UGH TRAFFIC. Taxes for a new road? OMG TAXES! It’s ridiculous.

Sadly a large chunk of our electorate just listens to some guy…

I think the whole issue though is the Geek Squad employees aren’t “stumbling” upon the disgusting images. They are being paid bounties by the FBI to find them.

Right on.

What was responsible for the lousy writing though?

It’s not fair to criticize the first seasons of TNG...they were reinventing everything.

Jesus fuck. If you weren’t embarrassed to be American already, here’s yet another reason.

They also are not friendly to animals (or women and children) because they are “gifts”. When people say how wonderful and peaceful the Amish are, I want to take them on a tour of their puppy mills.

Or someone who expects the world to end when Jesus returns in their lifetime? Pointing out that we’re doing catastrophic damage to our environment doesn’t count for much with someone who expects it all to be over anyways in the next few decades.

Yeah, you know? Why not just let all public access areas be bought up and closed off to the poors.

I’ll give him a pass on the first two, but “I hear you,” FFS.

Dude is smart. He wrote a scientific work in some sense with many points explored. Fantastic ideas and suggestions how to improve true diversity... I read it in full. But majority of whiny crowd didn’t get it. That’s what happens to smart people. Good he lives in our time and is not beheaded like other smart…

Like the DCEU, Discovery seems made for the Star Trek fan embarrassed by Star Trek.

yea it’s not the actress its the character, her storyline with Taylor goes nowhere and half the time it is like bad CW stuff.

Nailed it to the floor... bravo! Burnham sucks! it’s not the actresses’ fault, she was obviously given pretty crappy material to work with. Hell, if they didn’t show her dad from time to time, you’d think she’s never even seen a Vulcan, much less grew up with them.

In Wall Street’s view, our society is just a bunch of suckers waiting to be fleeced. I need my government to protect me from these parasites, not to be owned by them.

All of the “continuity” they’re throwing out (which is actually just terrible fan service) felt really cheap. They throw in all these references, but don’t quite get the tone right, like they watched Trek but didn’t really understand it

You’re absolutely right that it is about money.

So true. Some people are really uninformed.

At the top policy-making levels it has nothing to do with being upset that your dollars might be going to help someone who is not you.

What drives me absolutely batty about that argument—aside from the incredible lack of humanity and the selfishness and short-sightedness of it—is that they’re paying for the healthcare of people who don’t take care of themselves regardless.

Can you honestly distinguish a lossless track from one that is high quality but compressed?
