I wish Star Trek and Star Wars would learn a lesson from this and stop looking backwards for stories. Lately Trek keeps trying to relive the past and Star Wars is basically redoing the original trilogy in nearly all but name. Last Jedi even had a Super Star Destroyer and Walkers on a planet that looked like Hoth. JJ…

It’s not that he doesn’t believe. He just doesn't care. 

Well then, I assume that means they’ve shut down their entire operation, closed the pavilion to all rentals of any sort and will not do any business except simple restauranting.

I feel the need to repeat what I said to a bawling coworker who fucked up bad but swore she was the victim:

Any suggestion of escorts or sex robots is taking incels at their word and accepting that lack of sex is the actual problem and that providing them with a sexual release would solve their problems. It wouldn’t. If your average incel landed the loving virginal girlfriend of his dreams he’d more likely than not become…

I don’t think that works, though, because there is no status in fucking a sex robot. And, really, that’s what these men want. They want the status that other men give them for fucking “hot” women. It’s kind of homoerotic when you think about it, which I would like to go tell each and everyone of them.

I found her videos a month or so ago and I’m in love with her schtick.

“Monogamous pair bonding makes men less violent” Apparently domestic violence never happens and is just a lie made up by evil lying women then?

The quote you include made me think of the current situation with China and India, where you have surplus of young to middle aged men due to sex selection preference for boys. I remember when I first heard about the demographic imbalance developing I thought that perhaps it would lead to heightened status for women,…

One of the things that’s so fascinating to me is that the original term, involuntary celibacy, was coined by a queer woman. And there are lots of folks (queer folks, folks with disabilities, fat people, etc) who do struggle to find love and sexual partners because we live in an oppressive and disgusting society, but…

“I read Betty Friedan’s book because I was very curious about it, and it’s so whiny, it’s just enough to drive a modern person mad to listen to these suburban housewives from the late ’50s ensconced in their comfortable secure lives complaining about the fact that they’re bored because they don’t have enough…

So, Trump is going to tweet in a few hours that Giuliani has never been his lawyer and he barely knows him, amirite?

Because for most of us, say, 99% of us, at some point in our early years, we got yelled at like that and had to accept it (or actually do the research to prove 1+2=2) or eat shit. Donny boy and all the other douche fund babies had the privilege of not accepting it AND not eating shit because daddy’s money would…

Quite honestly? I have long since decided that if I enjoy a show, I stop caring about how it fits with any previous canon and timelines. In fact, I have even come to view discussions on such subjects as shows on their own right. If this thread expands to a full-on discussion, I might as well bring the popcorn.

Commander redshirt insisting on going toe-to-toe with a giant creature capable of slaughtering an entire sharship and a Klingon boarding party was a perfect example of what I think of as ‘TV-Writing’:

I feel they should have put the timeline after TNG. Technology and the bio concept is too advanced to believe it comes before TOS. Now they are in box they can’t stay within.

I like this. His pants are billowing up because there is a wind machine off camera behind him, helping to create the chaotic swirling sand/fire/smoke effects. This seems to better explain how the “butt” collapses as soon as he shifts weight to stand—his foot’s angle changes, the airflow up his pant leg is immediately…

I also like this explanation because we know the Federation is made up of many worlds, but we’ve only heard (Praxis excluded) about the Klingon and Romulan home worlds.

It would be funny if Klingons from the home world looked down on Klingons from other planets. Bigotry is not a trait unique to humans.
