You guys do know that in the Trek timeline there’s a third world war right? Nuclear war? Hundreds of millions dead, even more in the nuclear winter that follows? The whole point of Trek human culture is that they know they almost blew themselves up and are trying very hard to avoid that aspect of their nature and…

I was just telling the Voyager crowd (who just celebrated their 25th anniversary like yesterday) that one of the problems with Voyager was that it was trying to copy TNG and they were successful, warts and all. Now I’m not going to say this or any TNG episodes were RATHITHT SEXTHITHT, as none of them have ever been…

The tragedy about the sequel trilogy is that like the prequel trilogy I can see all the interesting ideas and characters in it that are then betrayed by the flaws of the trilogy’s writers (Gisnep and Lucas respectively). The idea that the Jedi are a flawed, limited ideology that Rey must transcend (and the Sith are a…

• Courage. Who the fuck are you, Dan Rather? It was stupid when he said it too. No one’s life is in danger here. The US government cut a check for like a billion dollars. They misplace a thousand times as much throwing money around for the Pentagon.

There is real soil on Mars. There’s not a lot in comparison with regolith, but there is real soil there, which as far as the universe is concerned is only slightly less rare than life itself.

I mean I figured Homer’s daily driver was a Yugo. When he demands it be repaired with “quality GM parts” the mechanic tells him it’s made of old T-72 tank parts.

When will this little bastard understand that they should be telling capitalist pigs “DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE MOTHERFUCKER DIE”?

Yeah uh here’s the thing liberals “I feel uncomfortable” is not the same as “objectively wrong, racist, offensive.” I mean you people don’t believe in objective reality anyway but usually that’s just an excuse for you to say “my discomfort with ideas that are new to me means I get to destroy you.”

What the fuck? How is destroying a book a thing that is bandied about as a “legitimate point” and “valid life choice”?

The Democratic Party does not exist to win votes. It exists to suppress socialism. Even the hipster liberal Keynesian “play nice. endorse the nominee” Social Democracy of Sanders and AOC that “identifies” as Democratic Socialism.

There should be evidence of the crude pottery made in this fashion.

came here to make sure someone posted that

It’s important to realize that McDonalds is not in the food business. McDonalds is a real estate company. They have a side-gig to pay the mortgage on their properties that does involve food. That’s how they afford their sprawling property portfolio. And their food business isn’t viable without corporate welfare. The…

There are basically no institutions in America that are not in a state of total collapse. Everything is broken. Nothing works. Everyone is incompetent. It’s even getting worse.

Honestly I didn’t give a shit about her or her boo until she tableflipped this Royal horse shit. Fine American tradition, that. Maybe the only fine American tradition: Giving the middle finger to the British Royal Family. Today, escape that noxious island of goblins. Tomorrow, burn it to the ground, salt the land, and…

at this point we really have to admit that the neckbeards may be racist, and sexist, and they may in fact be actual nazis, who are wrong about any number of things, but they were right about phone games being shit

It’s sad and darkly funny how tens of millions of Americans response to hard times is blame Mexicans, gays, and Jews. That is their literal, actual response. However they justify it - with appeals to White Jesus or “alternative facts” or transparent rationalizations or convoluted conspiracy theories - isn’t really…

Biogas input and carbon capture on the output would fix that. Especially if you used the captured CO2 for geothermal power; it would generate more power, and be carbon negative. Or you could go straight electrolysis, which can be done without a platinum catalyst now. These are minor hurdles compared to the lack of…

I really don’t care. There’s an endless parade of scenes that make no sense but exist only as callbacks to other, better movies. It cannot stand on its own as a movie. Even in the context of the other movies, the stuff that happens in it doesn’t make sense. It’s the Platonic ideal of the soulless corporate cash grab…

I just add butter to the pan and a bit of onion salt then pour.
