New trek tries to do something similar, at least in Strange New Worlds anyways. Theres a whole courtroom episode regarding a certain member of the enterprise. Its a pretty new episode so I won’t spoil anything for people. Anyways, theres more than 100 years between the two shows and basically nothing has changed.

Bashir got an exception provided his father spend time in prison. I wouldn’t call that a particularly major win, but thats just me.

Tbh I haven’t read it. I instead saw the will smith movie that has almost nothing to do with the book.

Okay thats pretty good. McDonald’s knows whats up.

And thats the secret. The weaker and more hopeless we are, the more complacent we are.

I just want to point out that starfleet actively oppresses certain groups of people (genetically modified races usually), ignores the needs of their border worlds while simultaneously demanding they adhere to federation laws, and their entire legal system is broken. A judge forced Riker to prosecute Data despite the obvious personal connections.

Star Trek is not as much of a socialist utopia as people like to pretend it is. Its definitely a more liberal society, but equality is not a given.

Theres a reason she’s sometimes referred to as captain insaneway.

I mean this is the same captain that casually disregarded the prime directive whenever it was convenient for her.

I think the closest we might would be a mixed economy utopia, where capitalism co-exists with things like workers rights and whatnot. Its probably difficult to write a believeable capalist utopia because it requires that the people at the top are all saints.

Although, with the advances in AI, maybe someone could write a story about some megacorp AI meeting everybody’s needs. It might be an interesting writing experiment.

Its not comparable at all. Reddit was a customer boycott. This on the other hand will cause a massive and very expensive logistical nightmare.

Also Quartz is used extensively in electronics, including medical devices that help people with healing or managing their ailments.

Its also worth noting that even though musk isn’t happy about it, legally he can’t do shit. He fired those people; Meta did not poach those employees.

Agreed. More instances should defederate from anything related to Meta. Im here because a corporate entity utterly destroyed something I liked. I don’t want that again.

I cant wait for the heat wave to be turned into a summoningsalt parody.

Or you could burn life’s house down, with the lemons

I feel like the popilation of vegas would respond to that much more positively than the italian senate.

For some people, thats a feature

Wernstrom did it

Thats less of a eureka and more of an archimedes moment.

Im just saying, cell had to get that weird tail hole from somebody’s DNA. Methinks frieza choked out goku using his sphincter.

Nobody Aksed you!

All they had to do was charge relative to the value reddit is providing to said apps.

Instead they gave the “fuck you” price and now theyre not getting any money for their api.
