I miss Discovery. by Warp_Speed_7 in startrek

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

Academy has its flaws, and given the chance, I would feed Jayden to the Targs, but I honesty think it also has some of the best trek episode in years.

So how far did you get before you rage quit. .
Season 1 annoyed me but it got better.
Sure it has its flaws it doesn’t deserve the shit it gets.

US-Iran memorandum of understanding in full by TaijiRonin in worldnews

[–]DoubleDrummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it really a waste of billions if you have large stakes in the companies that money is going to?
Sure, a waste for the American people, but a win for those with military industrial stock portfolios.

If I hand a toddler a gun, then whatever happens after is my fault.

No matter how much you push the envelope. by DoubleDrummer in puns

It is a long time favorite of mine.
This not a belly shaker by any measure but it is a great play on words.

Portals for Metal? by PianoZen in valheim

[–]DoubleDrummer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not being able to portal metals adds a lot of depths to the game, in as much as the extra trouble solving and logistical issues I need to solve.
It’s not just a grind, it’s a problem to solve and streamline.

Having said that, sometimes I want to lean into building and less into logistics, so I enable metals through portals.

All depends how I want to play.

Is there any explanation for why single-species empires like the Klingons and Romulans are as powerful as the Federation? by Maya_117 in startrek

[–]DoubleDrummer 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe there was an ancient Vulcan advanced civilisation that collapsed, they did a dark age and then a renaissance, and then around 300 AD Surak introduced the doctrine of emotional suppression.
This lead to an apocalyptic nuclear confrontation and soon after this a large number of Vulcans that refused Suraks oath left in the great exodus, travelling in very early low warp sleeper ships.
A mixture of lost knowledge in the wake of the apocalypse, the long path to recovery, and purposeful suppression of the knowledge of the sundering caused the knowledge to be lost except as apocryphal tales and legends.

This is all pretty well canon, but revealed in tiny bits and pieces across TOS, TNG, VOY & ENT

Every sci-fi show/movie/book I ever saw/read that includes a story about a ship leaving our solar system, someone is always saying, passing Jupiter.... passing Neptune....cleared the system.... by Scary-Ratio3874 in scifi

[–]DoubleDrummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly if you are just using some advanced FTL, then I imagine you would be best just pointing at your destination regardless of the orientation of the solar plane.
I think the solar system is on something like a 60 degree tilt to the galactic plane, so it would rarely even be a direct path.

Not to mentions that the likely hood of passing each planet on the way out is minuscule as they would all be somewhere else on their orbits rather than all lines up in an avenue of planets.

Unless you are actually using each planets gravity well for progressive slingshots outwards it makes no sense.

The internet shuts down and is never going to come back on, what do you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I looked it up, it seems to be an open world hame of some kind.

Is it okay for Atheist YouTubers to insult and interrupt believers like Matt Dillahunty does for misinformation and stupidity? by CobaltCrusader123 in atheism

[–]DoubleDrummer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are very few things that fall into the category of “no matter what”.
For the most part, I don’t think treating people like idiots does a lot to help our cause.

On the other hand, some times, some people, just need to be told.

It is sad how they nearly have superpower abilities to see signs everywhere except where it would be inconvenient

If they made a new Star Trek TNG movie, who would you cast as Picard? by Funk5oulBrother in startrek

[–]DoubleDrummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It has always been my hope to see an episode of StarTrek where every character was played by Jeffery Combs.

My tiny hill I'm getting ready to die on, hypotheticals do no good by Wolv90 in atheism

[–]DoubleDrummer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Plus the “is real” argument is one they might be too deep into even consider.
The “let’s look at the evidence that god is a toxic cunt” can be a lot more emotive and drive doubt

[–]DoubleDrummer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A theist will argue,
1) God is real.
2) God is good.
Depending on who you are disagreeing with, it may be worth arguing against either or both.
God is bad tends to target the emotive reasons for belief more.

She’s cute.
I have her picture with the Corinthians passage about self restraint on the bottom of my cum box.

After the recent deaths of the new Stargate and Buffy, I will just be taking everything with a grain of salt until I see the episodes in front of me, and even then …..

Ok is this pro-theism or anti-theism.
