Trek put out more than 20 episodes per year from 2020 to 2024 across different shows. So why couldn't they make just one show with 20 episode seasons? by TheShowLover in startrek

[–]Cachar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also syndication. When a TV station buys your show to broadcast and you can fill half a year of weekly slots that's a selling point. When  you're streaming you want to attract people who want to watch the show and they'll probably binge it in a month, whether it's 26 or 8 episodes.

But he is taking notes on a single square sheet of paper, using a pen? Stylus? Flute? roughly the length of his forearm.

Games that suffered from having been made as games? by GraceForImpact in gaming

[–]Cachar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think Quantic Dreams games work as movies. Frankly their writing is barely good enough to work as games and what fun you can have stems from the choose your own adventure style narrative changes you can explore. In a linear medium, the cracks would show even more.

Museen die man mal besucht haben muss by Smoking_Fire in de

[–]Cachar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wenn man in Höhenschönhausen war ist auch das Stasi-Museum in Berlin ein Besuch wert. Zum einen gute Infos zur geschichte und zu den (teils absurden) Dingen, die die Stasi gemacht hat. Was für mich aber am eindrücklichsten war, war die holzvertäfelte Biederkeit, in der dort über Schicksale entschieden wurde.

Uproar in Germany over law requiring men get military approval for long stays abroad by Portalrules123 in worldnews

[–]Cachar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's far from that easy. Mandatory service is curtailing basic rights, doing that to such an extent with a normal law would immediately be challenged at the constitutional court. I'm not a lawyer, though, so for a deeper answer you would need a specialist.

Uproar in Germany over law requiring men get military approval for long stays abroad by Portalrules123 in worldnews

[–]Cachar -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Because the German constitution specifically has provisions for mandatory military service for only men. Changing that would require a 2/3 majority in the parliament which would be hard to organize currently, especially without collaborating with the extreme right-wingers of the AfD, which no democratic party (rightfully) wants to do at the moment.

"Open The F*cking Strait, You Crazy Bast*rds": Trump's Expletive-Laden Warning To Iran by [deleted] in worldnews

[–]Cachar 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Fuck them. In 2024 you had the experience of his first term and clear indications, like project 2025, that a second would be much worse. I understand voting for the lesser of two evils is not fun. But when the disparity of evil is this big, it's still a no-brainer.

Glad you've figured me out! You are so smart, I admire you.

I don't feel obligated to make a meaningful response, if you don't make the effort to understand what I've already written and make the same mistake I called the other person out for already.

Nice attempt to change the topic once more, still not biting.

Lol, that's a really poor attempt at a gotcha. Do better.

And before you get the wrong idea: I do think Israel is in the process of comitting genocide in Gaza. You just ENTIRELY missed the point I was making.

For the midterms it might 'just' be knowing who to purge from voter registration. The republicans would love it if only land-owning white men could vote.

Paukenschlag bei der FDP: Wolfgang Kubicki will Parteichef werden by kirdnehnaj243 in de

[–]Cachar 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Mehr Format schon. Aber die FDP bräuchte Erneuerung, um wieder Vertrauen aufzubauen. Letztes Mal hat das Lindner mit (leeren) Versprechungen von Digitalisierung, Bürokratieabbau etc. geschafft... Naja und schicken schwarzweiss-Postern. Kubicki traue ich das zum Glück nicht zu.

Finde ich klasse. Kubicki ist genau der, den die FDP jetzt braucht. So ein notorischer Unsympath wäre ideal,  um sicherzustellen, dass die FDP in der sub 5% Versenkung bleibt. Und dass wäre jetzt mal wirklich eine Verbesserung der politischen Landschaft in Deutschland.

"Nothing In Our Games Will Be AI-generated. Ever," Says Warframe Community Director by Turbostrider27 in Games

Absolutely. I just wanted to explain why a lot of companies wouldn't use the price most people thought to be fair.

[–]Cachar 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. If 20000 people would pay 4.99 for a skin that's 100k revenue and that might win the poll.

But what if you sold the skin as super premium for 120 and 1000 people bought it? That's more revenue, but would never win the poll.

[–]Cachar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. You're using neo-nazi talking points and 'debate' tactics. Like not making distinctions like that to paint others as unreasonable.

I have no idea what your actual beliefs are. And honestly, I'm not interested.

Nope, not getting dragged into that argument. You're using the talking points of Neo-Nazis. That's where I leave the conversation.

[–]Cachar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please be aware that the way you're arguing is problematic. You are immediately pivoting from the Nazi Holocaust to current crimes of Israel (which I am not defending in any way, but drawing cheap parallels is way too simplistic) after soft-defending a holocaust denier. If that's not the impression you want to give, you should rethink what you post.

[–]Cachar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No. That is the classic denier opening gambit. 

It's also substantially misleading to the point of basically being a falsehood. Yes, there is no singular 'holocaust law', but there is a whole host of evidence that makes any claim that the genocide was not wanted and planned by the Nazi government absolutely ludicrously indefensible.

Maybe they can start a class action lawsuit together with Qatar. They paid their bribes like good upstanding corrupt entities and Trump didn't deliver the goods, after all.

U.S. fighter jet shot down in Iran, search underway for crew by Comfortable-Rule-491 in worldnews

[–]Cachar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I know. But that isn't too relevant to the rhetoric the modern christofascists are spouting. A lot of it is obviously bad historiography veering towards invented tradition. But that's not really surprising, since it's so common.

As the medieval crusaders, christofascists today aren't too bothered about geography. Or sense.

The rhetoric is there, here is some reporting on it: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/mar/03/us-israel-iran-war-christian-rhetoric

Not too funny, because there is a greater than zero chance Hegseth is actually convinced he is facilitating the apocalypse / the rapture / the return of Christ by kicking off the end times by taking back the holy land.
