It's true they wouldn't exist in anything like the form they do today. For one thing they'd be a lot bigger.

My thoughts are best summed up by the well-known Gamers Nexus video on the topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qbylbEek-M
I sure hope this is the end of Discord. Maybe only 10% of people will rage quit rather than show their ID, but if every group has one in 10 people they invite say "nah, that's not happening" and everyone has to admit they're probably in the right, it might make some difference.
Okay fine, guess I really do need to learn (the rest of) Rust now.
Utopia would be nice, but I'd settle for a world where the Star Trek franchise gets better screenwriters. (I'm liking Lower Decks though; thanks to whoever recommended that.)
How in the hell is this the same federation of TNG, Voyager and DS9?
Clearly it isn't. Why should it be? It's the far future. Giant prison colony, shock collars, cruelty, punishment with no semblance of a fair trial on screen; clearly the Federation are the bad guys now, or at least adjacent to them. I was prepared to accept that premise. Could be interesting... but no, they immediately shove that concept under the carpet and pretend it doesn't matter because this one person involved feels really bad about it. It was all just another convenient plot device with no meaning, and they moved right on without stopping to think about it. It's utterly lazy writing, the kind where they go with whatever half-baked idea they come up with first whether or not it makes any sense for the characters and story. I say that with confidence because I've seen so much of it before. In this case the character they betrayed was literally Star Trek itself, but they're doing it all the time in smaller ways.
Anyway I'm off to rewatch DS9 instead.
Yep, we're stuck with it. It's just depressing.
Your logic is even worse than mine! It's quite an achievement.
Once the clean energy transition gets going, people come to their senses, and not everyone continues to drive cars every single time they want to go anywhere, what will all the newly unemployed auto workers do? Build parts for Korean attack submarines, of course! Every hundred billion dollars spent will be repaid many times over in enemy ships sunk when Canada becomes the naval military power it was meant to be and the next great war can finally begin. Submarines: the way of the future.
Well I don't know about the bread itself but for things to put on it there are plenty of vegan options which are much better imo than margarine. Peanut butter was my choice until recently.
Not here. It's probably more suited to mastodon or whatever.
If God wills it the real odds were 100%, so double that can only mean we get two Jesus at once! Hallelujah!
