Honestly, the two shows have such different formulas in how the action is handled that I don’t really see it working very well.

Like obviously, there are writers talented enough to make anything work really, but I think the two shows do have tones that would make an episode like this just be pure fan service.

I think it would work best as like either its own self-contained little mini-series, maybe one where the doctor finds himself in the Star Trek universe and winds up traveling and interacting with multiple eras. Or a one shot special that exists outside either shows season

Correction the network didnt cancel the show: the network itself was canceled and enterprise did well ratings wise but it was expensive to produce and didnt do well enough for anothe network to pick up

Same just gunna get it through the high seas and not give them money. A shame this is where star trek fell

Im not into dolls as a hobby but this is super cool seeing how you get the hair in and such

What a broad and needlessly harmful thing to get them to get off their butts and attempt to legislate. Its so frustrating how comically evil these guys are.

Its not specifically hard but its also not just as easy to use. I say this as someone whos been gaming on linux for over a decade now. You still run into issues here and there with proton(often a devs fault for bad code) and there is genuinely a lot more going on and tweakable on the steamdeck.

Steamdeck is a great device but Nintendo is good at making simple systems

In many ways it was better. More organic and even the big names like google and amazon were more quirky upstarts rather than the evil megacorporations they are today.

That said lets not sugarcoat it too much. The early 2000s were edgelord central and message boards like 4chan and something awful were quite influential. Then you had gaming message boards like gamefaqs and the like. Woof so much bad trolling. Some of it funny and well done to the point of art but most just abrasive and annoying. The small message boards and communities were amazing though.

There are definitely a lot of little things in gimp that make it hard. The lack of a shapetool is one(yes yes it’s not a drawing app but a basic edition helps) and other things like adding text with a black outline or shadow. After literally decades they finally added in a way to make it easier to image macro text in. The old way involved several submenus and I know I couldnt figure it out on my own without a guide.

I know sometimes people come into an opensource ecosystem and complain that everything is worse because they arent used to it, but at the same time there are a lot of open source programs that are very rough around the edges and the developer cant see it because they know the program inside and out so of course it’s intuitive that this feature is burried in here and this feature way in there.

He jumps with honor

Hes probably like spok. Neutral enough to be the same on both sides. Mirror Voyager has gotta be wild tho

I mean, it’s not wrong. I expect quite a lot of lewd and rude content as well.

Will be very neat to see the community reaction to this. To this day dooms open source engine is prolific. I imagine this will be amazing for fan and indie games

Yeah at it’s best reddit is an aggregate of content from around the web and a message board.

The only thing I can think of that this makes sense for is to keep the onlyfans people who promote on reddit(or got started on gonewild) to stay on reddit. I feel like reddit is probably not trying to get more in bed with providing porn so Im curious exactly what the application could be otherwise.

Unfortunately Ive got family who’s voted for him who at least buy into some of the BS. Ive heard the buyout as a good deal considering theyre going to fire you anyway and stuff like that.

The right wing propoganda chain is strong. From the moment reagan deregulated the airwaves to now. Christian radio feeding into am talk, am talk stroking egos while painting narratives of victimhood and then social media and the death of local newspapers absolutely drove it all up to 11. It doesnt help that while this was happening the neolibs were disinvesting in the working class, and didnt have a proper counter to it. There were virtue signalling but still very wealthy hollywood elites kinda giving some crumbs of representation in films I guess and of course smarmy personalities like bill mahr. Which of course only helped serve to reinforce enough right wing talking points to help begin the radicalization process.

It sucks because I think a lot of conservatives when you talk to them about what they actually believe you do get fairly leftest beliefs. Like I know when I talk to my dad he’ll say things sometimes that are practically radically leftist, but then he’ll twist his logic into knots to explain why thats why he voted the way he did.

I feel like if the dems didnt abandon the working class the republicans would have less fuel to burn.

I understand that propaganda went unobstructed for decades in this country before finally transitioning to social media where it amped up. The death of local reporting and trusted newspapers also helped aid this nonsense.

That said it is hard for me to comprehend how one can look at the richest man in the world being appointed in a position where he without transparency tears down government agencies(illegally I might add), and does not divest from his gigantic companies that are now being rewarded with a 400million dollar gift contract. Like how is buying 400million dollars in tesla trucks to do something that more conventional vehicles can do efficient? How is that not see immediately as blatantly corrupt?

I could have sworn they did this already a while back.

It certainly shows that the federation doesnt need a weird shadowy organization to skirt the rules and make morally ambiguous decisions.

I feel like the big issue is the difference in how it’s portrayed. In DS9 and even enterprise section 31 are the bad guys. They are portrayed as a shadowy organization that thinks it’s doing the right thing but when confronted gets in the way. In DS9 they even lose. Section 31 arent an example of the end justifying the means being a necessary evil, they are something from within for the idealistic federation to overcome and defeat.

As a concept section 31 doesnt make a whole lot of sense lore wise because the federation is a paramilitary organization. Sure they are scientists, explorers, and philosophers at heart, but they are also very much a military Navy. We also see that starfleet does have a non section 31 intelligence complete with spies that go deep undercover get the trust of their enemies and sell them out. The federation knows the galaxy is a hostile place which is why they explore in heavily armed warships with a crew that follows a strict chain of command.

I think part of the wish fulfillment and idealism of the federation lies in the implication that they are also very powerful and able and willing to defend themselves with great force. Even the cruise ship Enterprise D was able to take on multiple enemy warships at once and win.

The major difference between section 31 and standard federation operating procedures seems to be their appetite for genocide and civilians.

It is a thing that has made me nervous about this new project since it was announced. Section 31 appearing as a bump in the road for our idealistic federation members to deal with works and allows them to stay the badguy. Them as the protagonists of a show or movie puts us in a situation where we get told stories where the ends justifies the means. And they either do this by making the federation seem naive and incompetent(which they arent they have a prime directive where they sterilize all life on a planet) or it has them justifying some heinous crap.
