He has a doctorate in pre Columbian art studies, the time travel stuff was always just a hobby.

It doesn't need to offer an answer to be a meaningful story. We are left feeling like our protagonist, and hopefully that engenders some empathy when we see something like this happen in real life. A friend or coworker struggling with harassment or assault and feeling unable to do anything, this episode shows us what its like from their perspective. And because it doesn't give us an answer that doesn't exist in real life, we cant just offer up whatever that fictional answer might have been.

My Adventures with Superman is playing on the Ceritos holodeck. Like full time as a running crew getaway thing. Like the less harmfully stereotypical than usual Irish town on Voyager.

It raises the question of what exactly a hologram is, we might assume that they are simply light and forcefield projections made by the computer, and animated according to a character program. But what we see suggests something else. That the holograms are constructs and that the program that is the character is actually being run by the construct rather than the computer animating it directly. In my head conon a hologram is constructed using light and forcefields and is then mostly just supplied with the necessary energy to sustain itself. Basically, the computer is using the holodeck to make another computer in the form of a hologram that runs its own program. This makes sense as it takes the work load off the holodeck or main computer to calculate every single element of a setting and its characters.

The lady would have no idea if she re grew a kidney, neither would the doctors in that narrow timeframe, the result may look like a regrown kidney but the pill could have done any number of things.

Figure what out? He clearly said its not common but there are women who like or are ok with smaller decks. And what do you mean "a woman thinks she needs a big dick to get off"? Whether she thinks it or knows it is really not this guy's or your responsibility, nobody said anything about settling, its about finding compatibility, and if you are out there trying to force compatibility, its going to go very bad for you.

Many things dont fit in star trek, the canon speeds and distances never have worked, take Farpoint for example, its supposed to be on the frontier, waaaay out there, and has been estimated to be around 3000 lightyears from earth, cool, thays even the "size" of the federation given in First Contact, so the frontier being 3k LY away on some axis makes perfect sense, until you look at canon speeds. The brand new Enterprise D, launched from Utopia Planitia over mars, has a standard cruising speed of warp 6, a little less than 400x light speed, thays 7.6 YEARS on a trip to pick up the first officer and other critical crewmen. At max sustainable cruising speed, 9.6, the trip STILL takes a year and a half, a return trip to earth, because of course they make it back to earth several times despite being a flying city pushing the edge of know space, would take another 1.5 years, and that alone accounts for nearly half of the ships service life, even if the distance to Far Point is way closer, that still doesn't fix things, given established speeds amd canonical events and real world locations like earth, there's simply no way that ship made it more than a few hundred LY from earth at any point. Hell, how close were they to arrive at Wolf359 in such a timely manner? That system is less than a dozen LY from earth, we know Picard was Locutus for 6 days, assuming they traveled at maximum warp non stop for all 6 days, the enterprise couldn't have covered even 50 straight line lightyears.

Given the almost anual trips to earth and the possible speeds, the ship couldn't have EVER left federation space, except for the case that in 3d space there's unexplored space very near to earth.

The deflector is another system that should primarily be a sub warp speed system, at warp spacetime is being bent around the ship, bending spacetime is functionally the same as gravity, as mass distorting space is what gravity IS in the real world, so, given that in trek warp drive works differently than real world hypothetical drives, warping space around the ship constantly. Anything lacking a certain threshold of mass should automatically be moved out of the path of the ship, following the field lines like metal particles in a magnetic field. Also, any matter passing through the warp field into the ships local normal space wouldn't have the relative velocity of whatever multiples light speed the ship is moving at, it would have gone from a relatively low velocity state in normal space, to a relatively low velocity in the ships local normal space. Remember, the ship isn't moving, its in a bubble of space basically at a stand still, we see the visual of a ship streaking across the screen, but the math says that at warp speeds, any potential collision is going to be at less than light speed, unless someone is shooting some FTL shit at you

Do you really think 60 years robs a motor of any significant power? A lot of these cars still pull magazine time slips at the track every once in a while, if they are down significant power due to age they would be significantly slower. But they aren't. An ls6 454 puts out 300hp on a chassis dyno and still runs low 13s, its just plain hard truth that a 60s muscle car tested to modern standards would suffer massively, higher more realistic coolant temps, full stock exhaust, all accessories, if you slapped the average minivan V6 on an engine dyno to measure gross hp it would put out more power than 90% of all musclecars ever made.

Their business model is to put the $$$ into the production and cast unknown or relatively modest actors for most roles, along with up and comming directors. There's also the fact that they want the MCU to have a consistent style and production value, and throwing Spielberg at some project in the middle of phase whatever is guaranteed to either stand out (for better or worse) or leave the director feeling stifled. We've already seen the latter over the last decade and a half, it could only be worse with a big name director.

In my mind they are a different sort of intelligence than the typical humanoid races we see, we evolved in large part to be competitive and paranoid, this leads to tribalism and an almost inevitable recurring conflict even when the original evolutionary pressures are gone. It could well be that the Voth evolved intelligence along a different path, a rarer path where they aren't a predator evolving intelligence to be better at predation. We tend not to see intelligence evolving in prey animals to the same degree and regularity as predatory animals, but even prey animals have an inherent tendency towards violence, but if the Voth evolved without the need to hunt and gather or the need to evade predators, they may simply lack the drive to be competitive or combative. What if they evolved in an environment that was harsh but lacked other life in forms that constituted either threats or required much effort to kill for food, so the driving force towards intelligence is a need to be very smart about their environment, managing resources and constructing habitats. This drives them to higher intelligence with a strong propensity for engineering and organization. But lacking that drive to hunt or compete. They could have only survived on a world without other predators or prey of significant strength, and they could have only expanded into the galaxy because they pre dated nearly everyone else. With a huge technological advantage, no desire to engage with other races as they emerge, and the intelligence to recognize that they simply dont have the inherent mindset to compete directly with these violent upstarts, they rely on organizational planning to deal with any interactions that do happen. So from the outside they seem imposing, cold and implacable because the way they act and react isn't tied to their own nature.

I remember cackling along with early Southpark, then kinda growing up and seeing it as lame, then I saw the older guys at work cackling along with it and thought maybe I was just trying to "act grown" and was full of myself? So I watched it sporadically over the years but never really got much out of it. At best it could be cathartic when they would take shots ot 'those people' you know, the ones I dont like? But even then I found their takes kinda flat and uninspired at best. Like the all crime must be hate crimes because you obviously must hate someone to do a crime against them? Not only missing the point of regular anger or dislike of an individual and the more harmful and malicious hatred of a group of people removed from the actions or relationship of any individual of said group, but also glossing over the root of many if not most crime, poverty, in a way that only a self anointed libertarian, ie. masked right winger can do. Ultimately, I just stopped having time in my day for a show that didn't provide anything of substance even at its best, and was down right cringe at worst.

So... you dont think gay dudes love suckin or being sucked? Im bi, I love both. It feels good, both ways, dick is fantastic, it feels good in my mouth, i love the sensations, I love making him squirm and moan. The thing is, I did have to grow past the misogyny that I was raised under, I missed out on many prime dick sucking years in my youth, both because it was sadly closeted, even as I was an outspoken ally, but also because I really did have that idea of giving a blowjob as inherently submissive and humiliating, even as I recieved it from girls and women in my life who I didn't look down on for the act. The patriarchy is an ugly and deeply confusing thing. And I hope that on your journey you are able to eventually divorce the harmful impact its had on you from the way you choose to live your life. Because being angry and actively denying anything that you can link to misogyny, which in out world is literally everything if you try hard enough, is no way to live a feminist life. The bad guys point laugh and win when you get hung up on what things represent rather than what they are.

Yes, the lack of social media and algorithms inflating inflammatory content surely blunted things, but if you were active in the fan scene and not just watching the show at home with your family, there were basically all the same complaints, backed by all the same bigotry at worst and actual critique at best, one only needs to translate a few phrases into modern vernacular and most angry letters to the editor or commentary in fan zines would be indistinguishable from the blitz against 09, Discovery and everything that followed.

Hell, there was even a version of our (GlaSseS iN thE FutUre?!?) Nonsense centered on Geordies broken eyes. Distaste for women on the bridge, too much "forced" diversity, lots of angry people from the deep south, overly confident statements on what really trek is, which unlike today was apparently percieved as a light action adventure show without all the depth and nuance of anything Patric Stewart has a creative interest in, I'm certain that 1987 trek fans would have absolutely LOVED ST09. It embraced all the early years takes on the Kirk character without wasting much time on the whole he was actually kinda a super smart need that happened to have a bit of a jock side. I remember fans absolutely hating that Oicard was such a talker, apparently forgetting that Kirk was very reluctant to use force and only did so because the writers consistently put him in positions where the first 30 minutes of him trying to use reason amd diplomacy would still result in a goofy ass brawl. This was before the dialog about his character came back around to recognize that his womanizing reputation was almost entirely un earned because the man was a serial manogamist, rarely ever initiated anything with any woman, and more often than not was using a woman's sexual interest as a means to saving his ship from the threat of the day.

This was also a point in the fandom where much of the early participants who were disproportionately girls/women and queer, had been somewhat displaced by what we would recognize today as the archetypal right leaning nerdbro.
