What Star Trek media did you watch in the past week? - 09/18/2024
  • Growing up, i never knew if the vcr recorded properly, if my dad recorded over it, so the semi serialized aspect didn't appeal to me. Watching straight through, with the last episode still fresh, does better service to ds9 than a weekly release ever did.

    And it's great not to have to track anything. I get home, hit "next up..." and veg-out to Voyager.

  • Just finished my dozen-th or so rewatch of DS9 (man I was a dumb kid not to have appreciated it when it was live)

    Starting on Voyager again, i think I'm up to season 3, but i just let the jellyfin keep playing.

    Old vs. new, which one do you like more?
  • The readability improved with the right, the 5 is almost completely unreadable when I move my phone away (I'm near sighted)

    Laura Loomer's response to Lindsey Graham urging Trump to ditch her? 'We all know you're gay'
  • Just dead naming Twitter to get a rise is 33% of the reason I still do it.

    The other 66% is fuck musk, and the remaining one percent is i just can't be bothered...

    General population decline trends in the last years is actually a good news.
  • You seem to be having two completely different arguments.

    People with kids = poor, consume less

    People without kids = rich, party all the time

    You keep going back to the plane thing. Every childless couple doesn't automatically make them a jet setter?

  • Anecdotal proof time:

    My dad's truck.

    Me, my brother, brothers' friend and brothers' friends' sister, all XY, all see a greenish gray truck.

    My mother, sister-in-law, brothers' friends' wife, all XX, all see a dark green truck.

  • Dear God, who are you friends with?!

    eat at restaurants 5 times a week

    ?!?!? Who the fuck can afford that?

    Travel by plane 5 times a year

    I'm not sure who these magically able to take vacations people are, but people with kids travel by plane too...

  • When the child develops a personality, I'll buy that it counts as a person. You might as well include dogs as people, they are about as useful.

    If two adults consume 20 amount of product, and the child consumed 5, then yes, per person the amount is less per individual. But when your talking about a thing that just sits there and consumes resources, yeah that's disingenuous math. The child will eventually grow into an adult, but if we're talking resources vs ability to provide, households with children will always consume more than without. Look at how fast those things go through diapers, and tell me the single couple is throwing that much trash away every week.
