i’ve been struggling with what i thought was depression/anhedonia for a few years now. after multiple psychiatrists and meds accomplishing nothing i am starting to think i’m chemically just fine; the world is actually going to shit around me.

you can disable authentication on your local network.

there is no official apple tv app.

duckduckgo is mostly based on bing results so you could try that too.

well you’d think at some point people would stop using their bullshit search engine.

eh, i don’t see any reason why they can’t churn out another TES or FO like they have been for years. my problems with starfield were mostly unique to the galaxy map and space.

they’re not talking about whole foods.

You get you’re in a starfleet sub right, we’re 100% talking about storylines. It doesn’t change anything either way but still.

you get that we can have discussions and make comments that don’t directly relate to any storylines, right?

Point to where I said I do not support socialist politicians. I’ll wait, I imagine your incredible lack of imagination led you to believe the example of cognitive dissonance in my original comment was my actual opinion…

So you’re saying this isn’t your opinion? How am I supposed to know that? This is something you could have clarified in the earlier post where i quoted it.

“that society is ideal but I don’t like anyone that would being about that society"

There’s that assumption again, pointing out what is is does not imply support thereof but sure, strawman it up if you feel that necessary.

Look we’re gonna have to agree to disagree on everything else, but i take exception to being accused of straw manning you. This is no straw man. you said you do not support socialist politicians NOW, but you would if replicators existed. Please clarify if you misspoke.

You: “that society is ideal but I don’t like anyone that would being about that society I just want to snap my fingers and end up in post scarcity utopia.”

Me: “My point is, if we had essentially an infinite supply of food and other goods, wouldn’t you feel more comfortable supporting people who would “bring about” that society? Wouldn’t you feel a moral imperative to support such a society?”

You: “I would”

hence “bringing” to airpods.

It’s quite the opposite but sure.

how would it be the opposite?

I would

that’s all i’m trying to say really. The common reservations people have with socialism are pretty much nullified with tech like replicators.

capitalists would not and do not which is why capitalism persists today let alone some future.

what capitalists want doesn’t matter if enough of the proletariat are in favor of socialism. In a world with replicators that would be the vast majority of people, even ones who were hesitant such as yourself.

Universal Translators, the future is here.

why don’t you actually say what happened in the headline rather than making a lame ass meme joke.

FO76 and Starfield were much much more risky than TES6 or FO5 will be.

the scope for starfield was just too much, it was doomed to fail from the beginning. i think they’ll be fine going back to their TES roots.

oblivion is my favorite in the series, but goddammit bethesda stop making remakes. make a make.

Canonically they can say whatever they want to make the federation/humans paragons.

My point is, if we had essentially an infinite supply of food and other goods, wouldn’t you feel more comfortable supporting people who would “bring about” that society? Wouldn’t you feel a moral imperative to support such a society? Fantasy tech makes it easy (although perhaps not inevitable).

Discovery only had problematic parts.

well they didn’t do it through political reformation, they did it through fantasy tech. Socialism is quite easy when you have replicators that can make pretty much anything you could ever desire on the spot.

I don’t reject Discovery because it embraces LGBT or POC characters. I reject it because it’s written like shit, especally the parts about LGBTQ characters.

An example of a show around the same time that handled LGBT issues much better than Discovery: Umbrella Academy.
