Why do they last more than a year?

Why do they exist at all?

Can not both be true?

I only pee in other people’s showers.

My grand pappy worked on parts used for those moon buggies. He was pretty knowledgeable about them and proud of his work.

Would be pretty shitty for him to have learned it was all staged.

He was a hard ass too, ex British Navy.

I don’t think it wise to hire people like him to work on projects you intend to use to lie to and betray the public.

Pretty sure it’d be more cost effective and safer to just hire joe schmoe to work up some gadget in his garage, or to handle it in house. Why hire outside professionals and actually do the real work to just lie about the outcome.

What is a reddit?

Shouldn’t ‘tell them off’ at all either.

Teach to the problem. Or moderate it.

Allow the person to continue coexisting.

If you want to invite them to reexamine their behavior… Actually do that, not the other more aggressive, offensive, and immature thing… Then play it off as something more.

‘fuck you!’

‘fuck me?’

‘no, no, that’s not what I meant!’

Just say what you actually meant!

It’s funny watching this argument.

I’m from a very hippy community.

I’m a collectivist.

I’m extremely far left & progressive.

I’m wholly anti-fascist.

I’m also 100% in agreement with you regarding including differing opinions regardless of how extreme.

Inclusivity only brodens the divide and limits opportunities for people who harbor extremist views to be influenced toward developing more balanced, functional, and beneficial perspectives.

Moderation can be used to soften their influences in our commuty while including them allows our community to influence them.

‘You people’ is typically defined by the attached action. ‘You people’ are the people who actually do that thing, whatever it is.

If you don’t do it, ‘you people’ is not you.

If you do do it, ‘you people’ is you.

The point is not about ‘who’, it’s an oppositional statement about the ‘what’, the action, and implies it’s bad, or more importantly that the speaker doesn’t approve.

Like: ‘You people, always with the child raping.’

If you don’t rape children, ‘you people’ isn’t you.

But also, the speaker is implying that child raping is bad, or something they don’t approve of, and something they don’t do.

Then you rule them out on those basis, not their general ‘right wing’ classification.

Include everyone, but exclude specific content.

The ‘go away’ or ‘go back’ BS is exclusive, not inclusive, and should be moderated similarly to bigotry.

I’ve seen warnings like that when a sites certs expire. Well maintained sites don’t usually let that happen, but I’ve seen it plenty for torrent sites. It’s usually fixed in a few hours or a day.

Like others said, it could also be the ISP, so you can try a VPN, even a free one would probably do, if that was the issue.

You can also try resetting cached data for that site specifically. How to do that is different per browser, search online for more info specific to your browser.

A non-profit community service.

We need an international digital media co-op library.

Anyone can upload/donate their digitally owned content and share ownership with the community… Or people can pool funds with the community and it can buy digital content as a non-profit co-op with shared ownership and access. Then use private torrents to decentralize data hosting and improve streaming to members.

Imagine Netflix as a non-profit digital library.

Movies, TV shows, eBooks, magazines, and music.

Maybe Cuba would be willing to host it’s main office?

It’s also important to date the new ones when activated, so that they can be replaced at the appropriate time 10yrs from now, even if it’s not you doing it.

Edit your comment and I’ll maybe come back and bother with voting.

How’s Piefed doing?

I prefer to refer to it as V’Ger, but you do you.

But our youths are supposed to be in training to be functional non-youths. So much YA BS just revels in and normalizes silly immature nonsense because it creates drama. There’s no reason these characters can’t be strong role models that make less ridiculous decisions.

Like the weird drama between the complete stranger boy & girl who just met and spent the afternoon together. Being all ‘OMG you lied to me by not immediately telling me you had a long history of hardship and trauma that your still trying to resolve, which naturally influences your choices’.

That whole bit was just drama for the sake of drama, and horribly unrealistic and dysfunctional. She’s not just an empath, she’s a super empath! Who is apparently also extremely immature and horrifically unfamiliar with basic emotion or behavior or relationships or…

But then her dad is also a bit of a short-sighted dick.

Then there’s the fighting between ‘schools’…

Most of the time they act like a bunch of 5 year olds.

Then they also have moments where they seem so deep and emotionally mature.

There’s very little consistency to their characters.

And they are in Star Fleet Academy. It’s a college for the members of a galaxy spanning humanitarian program, not an elementary school. And it has understandably very militant rules about decorum and conduct, as it’s members are working to master skills needed to successfully explore space and navigate complex interactions with a wide variety of very different species.

I know, sure, young people tend to make more mistakes, but some of the random stuff they just drop in out of nowhere to create drama when it’s not needed, probably just to meet a formula regarding content type per minute of showtime, it’s just disappointing.

It doesn’t add to the story, and it’s even often discarded by the characters by the next scene and never referenced again.

The kinda TV that stuck with me, even as a kid, was more mature and more meaningful. Episode after episode they taught morals, gave examples of strong healthy character traits, showed cooperation and problem solving and leadership, gave viewers heros to look up to, even if they were just kids still themselves.

There wasn’t drama unless it added to the story, created opportunities to expand on, or build from, to enhance the intellectual experience, not just give viewers a cheap and fleeting emotional rollercoaster ride.

I mean, do we want our kids getting caught in unhealthy relationship cycles with others, or their own emotions?

Of course, personally, if I wasn’t watching Trek as a kid I was watching PBS Specials, Discover (before it became trash), old Sherlock Homes DVDs borrowed from the library, or reading non-fiction books and magazines, or actually building or crafting things in the real world. So, I dunno, maybe I just never was the target audience for these show runners.
