I am all for new Trek, but they need to fuck right off with the prequels.

Every studio: "What if we instead just go back and write ourselves into a corner and risk pissing people off by breaking continuity."

Edit: For example, I love SNW. But knowing what happens to half the cast removes a lot of the tension. I know putting Pike, Uhura, Scotty, Chapel, M'Benga or the ship in jeopardy will amount to nothing. Even Una. Because we know from "Those Old Scientists" that she later becomes the literal poster girl for Starfleet.

Edit 2: I have a lot of problems with Discovery, but one thing it absolutely did right was stop being a prequel and send the window of storytelling so far into the future that it can't cause story problems for other Trek.

Actually really well.

Most of us are forgoing US goods whenever possible. There isn't actually a need to impose retaliatory tariffs if people just aren't buying US goods.

And in return, if he keeps jacking up the tariffs, Americans will pay more an dmore, and we won't. We keep money in our pockets, and spend it on goods made elsewehere.

Went grocery shopping this week, and we managed to not buy a single food item that came from the US. It's really easy now. A lot of the stores just don't stock it anymore. I got goods from Canada, Mexico, Guatemala, Peru, Thailand and assorted European countries.

I'm in Canada

When I go to the map, I see

The Gulf Of Mexico (Gulf of America)

If I do a Google Search, auto fill shows

Gulf Of Mexico (Gulf of America)

AFAIK, only a few countries see just Gulf of Mexico, or at least did a few months ago. I know Germany and Sweden saw Gulf of America, others too. It was all over Reddit.

Because it's getting shown to those of us outside the US.

Does any power or water or sewage systems come from the Canadian side? If so, they should be cut off. Not to mention, a fence should be constructed inside to block off American illegals from crossing into Canada. Even better, put a border check point there.

If they want to go stupid, we can go full stupid.

They're welcome to him.

We, in Carleton, were tired of his bullshit.

O'Brien was Irish. He would spell labour properly.

Just to further your point. It's like Cirque du Soleil, scripted, but they are really doing those moves.

Because Willem Dafoe is white.

I keep saying that he isn't looking to annex, he's looking to conquer.

[-] ragepaw@lemmy.ca 15 points 10 months ago

Yes please.

It's not sad, there is a direct connection.

They are the top games because of the psychological manipulation being successful.
