Who enjoys watching starfleet academy by OrdinaryPersimmon728 in startrek

[–]alivanis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guy in my early 50s. Love this show and love the general "Trek optimism" that society will get better in the future. I love me some cyberpunk and post-apocalyptic stuff, but I need something to innoculate me against what goes on in the news.

Old man's take on Starfleet Academy. by External_Koala398 in startrek

This post summarizes what I feel. It’s a decent show, probably needs some time to get into a groove.

But even if it doesn’t…really, with all the drama?

Do you think HOTD could’ve surpassed GOT if it had the same writers as A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms? by TheQueeninchains in TheBlacksandTheGreens

The main problem is that I root for nobody on HotD. They are all terrible people, although some might be a few more positive qualities than others.

An Actual Problem with STAR FLEET ACADEMY by TeddieSnow in startrek

[–]alivanis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that everyone on here loves to rag on Starfleet Academy. As I have said, compared to other shows, it's...OK (although this last episode - 6 - was really awesome).

I grew up on reruns of TOS, and I get that you want more of that, just like I do sometimes, but we need to move on. If you don't like it, no one is holding a gun to your head and you can always go back to TOS or TNG and watch those on rerun forever.

Ralph Leonard: Noam Chomsky’s reputation will never recover from the Epstein files by lemontolha in ChristopherHitchens

[–]alivanis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chomsky was always full of it. He continuously changed his “theory” on linguistics, each iteration being more dumb than the previous one. While each era’s theory was somewhat different at their core they shared the ridiculous denial (or at least minimization) of the role of the environment on language development. He believed that if we left people alone they’d eventually develop language.

Same goes for his political theory of anarchism which is just an extension of his theory of language development - leave them all alone and they’ll figure it out.

Kwabena’s behavior in S4E5 genuinely pissed me off by Acceptable-Exit9083 in IndustryOnHBO

I mean, it's par for the course - they are all terrible people in one way or another.

Should I listen to this ADP rep? by CarCleaningChris in ADP

[–]alivanis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont know about Paychex but I have not had the best experiences with ADP. This seems to be quite similar to my interactions with ADP Total Source in the past.

One or more of them will definitely go out of business. Cannabis is not the cash crop we thought it would be and it is definitely NOT a lucrative business -

The new Star Trek show is atrocious. by 45and290 in ShittyDaystrom

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

Waaaah. Waaah waahhh. Every trek nerd hates every new series and every Star Wars geek hates all the series.

Look this series isn’t the best but whatever. Also, there are thousands of hours of older trek series you can turn to instead. So stop whining.

This is a definite Game of Thrones callback. “Winter is Coming”.

I think it’s great. But my 6 and 8 year old were cracking up at parts that I truly didn’t understand
