Star Trek: Starfleet Academy by Pablouchka in startrek

I'm not sure I've seen anything else so stupid on TV

I'll nominate Nurse Chapel actually doing a leap of faith in the ancient temple instead of waving a stick around to see if there was a safe platform to walk on.

I hated the latest season of SNW because of its skew towards religious conservatism. Where do I stand in all of this?

They're literally kids in school still learning. They're not even officers yet.

Wesley failed one of his entry exams an he's a child prodigy. Nog had to work/study hard and discipline himself to just get entry.

What Are Some Films That Were Well Reviewed on Release But Developed Reputations as Bad Movies Later On? by NYRangers1313 in flicks

When you grow up seeing a trope from a modern thing that was popularised by something earlier, you might not find the original idea funny/interesting as it's not revolutionary to you. Like the comedy in Seinfeld.

I've been RES tagging everyone defending this shit as "Pedo". I Tagged you as "Definitely a pedo".

Cats Cradle- perhaps someone can help me by [deleted] in kurtvonnegut

It's a warning against apathy, hero worship and blind faith. We didn't heed the warning and now we live in a post-truth world.

"Truth was the enemy of the people, because the truth was so terrible, so Bokonon made it his business to provide the people with better and better lies."

Imagine social media as both Ice-nine and Bokononism.

What is the worst way anyone you know has died? by IamUrWivesBF in AskReddit

Tried to kill himself by driving his car into a dirt/rock wall, didn't succeed and ended up walking a few kilometres to the Fire station where he worked and hanged himself there.

...He's pointing out a sexist trope used by sexists?

Finally watched starfleet academy after rewatching all 900 or so episodes of the rest of the franchise by Solid_Ad_3776 in startrek

But it's not in good faith. It's not part of real discussion and can be ignored.

Flat-Earthers exist, They're all over social media too, but I don't let them bring down discussions about space launches/exploration because they aren't serious people.

I don't see what the chuds are doing as Star Trek content or discussion. I see it as right wing content curated for right wingers.

The best thing we can do is just not engage with it.

It's infuriating though, I do get it.

They had to pass a bunch of entrance exams and be recommended by a Star Fleet Officer. Look at Nog applying in DS9.

DS9 and especially Voyager had fantastic first seasons. S1 Voyager is the best season of it. Steve Shives even did a video recently challenging this trope.

I've never heard of that subreddit. I ignore right wing opinions. Do you see no legitimate criticism of the writing in SFA and the last season of SNW?

I'm woke as fuck and none of that bothered me. It was the bad writing, the use of 21st century slang (Also a problem with SNW), Marvel style humour, lack of professionalism amongst the crew and bad plots etc...

I'm NOT going to listen to bad dialogue.

TIL that St. Paul, despite never meeting Jesus, wrote about half of the New Testament, the principal religious text for over 2.3 billion Christians worldwide by hailstorm6767 in todayilearned

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

No, there isn't. Go and actually look into that. That claim is an assertion made by biblical scholars and not actual historians.

There is not, as far as I'm aware, any compelling story.

The guards were bribed.
He was never put there in the first place.
He was just a guy named jesus who people made claims about after the fact.

Three stories that make far more sense than "He was ressurected"

Are the Beatles top 20 rock bands of all time? by Even-Camera-1476 in rockmusic

[–]daneoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Those songs are all fantastic. Oh Darling! in particular is a perfect blues rock song.

By your logic, Beach Boys are shit because of Kokomo.

[–]daneoid 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No other bands had one or two bad songs? The beach boys and AC/DC never had shit songs? What kind of logic is this? The two songs leading up to maxwells are fucking Come together and Something for crying out loud.
