OSYRAA: Fine. If the Chain is to unite with the Federation, you need to send the message that our culture is fundamentally valid and ethical.
VANCE: And how are we supposed to do that?
OSYRAA: By acknowledging that capitalism is already happening within the Federation.

Truer now than when Henry Ford said it like a hundred years go.
The SEC exists to shelter Self Regulating Organizations from any threats of democratic governance or law enforcement. Oh ya and to keep up the legalese charade that there literally is no such thing as counterfeit stock (because the Secret Service has purview over counterfeiting for some strange reason)
Fuck the stock market 🖕

MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name@lemmy.world•Classic Star Trek Producer Says Shorter, Modern Shows Are 'Tinder Relationships,' Calls for 'Longer, More Sustained' SeasonsEnglish221·10 days agoI want more filler episodes the same way Magic The Gathering wants bad cards:
The solution to the aforementioned problem leads to the second reason “bad” cards exist. Different cards have different functions and appeal to different players.
We make some cards for the multi-player crowd. We make cards for the flavor crowd. We make cards for the silly crowd. We make the big creatures and spells for “Timmy.” We make the combo cards for “Johnny.” We take each different group of Magic players and throw some cards their way.
The problem is players tend to define “bad cards” as cards that they personally see no reason to play. But certain cards aren’t meant for them in the first place.

Watching the two on the left go from hardnosed atheist commandos to saying “Praise Sol” with conviction, what a wild fucking trip of a show.

This is some properly calibrated gourmet ragebait 👌

Yeoman, go pick up all my tchotchkes and bricabrac and restage my quarters.

I hope not. I saw single film and it was fucking grimy.
They are selling a blockbuster franchise and thus do not wish to offend anyone… so they invent a whole new breed of terrorists… atheist terrorists. 🤷♀️🤦♀️
It’s pure schlock for those that bring a foam finger to the movies.
MalikMuaddibSoong@startrek.websiteto Today I Learned@lemmy.world•Til before he was a science fiction author, Gene Wolf helped invent the Pringle potato chipEnglish4·1 month agoThe second book, Claw of the Conciliator, is the hardest slog with the most confusing ending (but is ultimately rewarding when it ‘clicks’).
However the third book, Sword of the Lictor, is the best in the series. So many of the best moments are in this book, as well as some of the most famous quotes.
For me, the masquerade ball at the Archon’s palace is the “buckle up” moment for the rest of the story.
For a real trip, restart book 1 immediately after finishing book 4: there is so much you will see know that you know what to look for.
Also matey, the audible audiobooks are amazing 😎

She had a deep, throaty, genuine laugh, like that sound a dog makes just before it throws up.

Technically correct is the best kind of correct right?
How about this alternative with Burnham’s many mothers instead of Picard’s many sons
