    There was a time when Kirk kissing Uhura was considered gratuitous.

    No, there wasn't. What you imagine to be the case doesnt coincide with reality.

    It was a several second scene in a show with a plot unrelated to the act, and while there supposedly were fears of it being controversial, it turned out not to be. Leading one to wonder how involved the marketing departments were in pretending that it would be controversial.

    Oh, isnt that just like what happened with this show where a few months before release their marketing departments said it would be controversial. Of course, the controversy turned out to be how quiet the crickets would be about what they said would be controversial but also how loud the real controversy is (which is that this Star Trek is fantasy,.not scifi)

  7. Re:The Orville on Star Trek: Discovery Is Returning For a Second Season (engadget.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just think about the SJW-Trek bullshit that The Orville has been putting out:

    Ok lets see your examples of SJW stuff...

    Away teams consisting of three women, one man and one robot, and the women spend many minutes of screen time talking about their feelings

    No, thats not SJW stuff. SJW stuff is not "stuff that old people may not like" ... SJW is making it gratuitous. For instance your next point fits the bill, because the homosexual scenes were gratuitous, they were the plot.

    Multiple domestic conflict situations, including an overtly gay couple and an episode where the captain and first officer spent most of the time together in an apartment talking about their relationship

    Star Trek didnt make Kirk kissing Uhura the plot. Star Trek in fact *downplayed* its significance. Meanwhile the homosexual scenes in that other show *were* the plot. It was gratuitous. Instead of just being there to show how normal it was in the future, instead it consumes the episodes to show how abnormal it is today. Its needlessly gratuitous bullshit. Full blown SJW crap.

    An entire episode about a society that thinks women are inferior and forces gender transitions on infants

    Nothing SJW about that.

    The old "religious zealots" plot line, an obvious dig at religious conservatives

    Sure, not a dig at the religious liberals. Your true intolerant colors are showing.

    "SJW"? Star Trek has always been a show with liberal values.

    Star Trek never made it gratuitous. Liberal values yes, but not SJW. That "fan" show with the gratuitous gay scenes were *about* the gay scenes. Star Trek on the other hand was always about something else... with the liberal values just being there, rather than the whole point of the whole show.

  10. Re:It kinda sucks. on Star Trek: Discovery Is Returning For a Second Season (engadget.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I 100% agree with the science issue.

    All of a sudden 20 years before Kirk and the Enterprise (reboot or not) they have a drive that teleports the ship to any known sector, and the technology is based on a network of mushroom spores that permeates the entire universe, and they first were using a GIANT TARDIGRADE as a supercomputer to control the drive, and the main character is SPOCKS ADOPTED SISTER THAT YOU NEVER HEARD OF BEFORE? AND SHE HAS A BOYS NAME?

    On top of that... its another SOAP OPERA. Instead of producing stand-alone shows every show is a continuation of a long assed story?

    The only "good" thing about the show seems to be that its not as overwhelmingly SJW as we were led to believe (we were led to believe it was like that one "fan" produced show with gratuitous 5 minute homosexual make-out scenes in half the episodes!)

    Wealth is goods and services. The money printing and all that crap doesnt matter.

    The goods and services will continue to flow so long as people are free. I will always be able to trade a day of my labor for a day of someone elses even if the currency goes to shit so long as we are free to do so.

    The problem is that governments clamp down on the trade of goods and services more and more as the currency goes to shit. A little bit of clamping down and society survives in spite of the interference. A lot of clamping down and society falls into chaos.

  12. Yes.

    8 things about UAW you might not know

  15. This is part of Union Tactics 101.

    This accomplishes two things:

    (1) it makes good on union threats to hurt the business if the company continues to resist
    (2) it garners some support from workers that might otherwise vote against unionization

    The UAW did it to the place I work at. Now they are doing it to Tesla. This is what the UAW does. Those that think the UAW have only wormed their way into automobile manufacturers are completely ignorant. The UAW has even unionized casino table games dealers.

  23. This is the "math notation problem" as I call it...

    Mathematicians often use ambiguous non-standardized notations, and it seems to me that its in order to impress other mathematicians. Just within calculus alone there are multiple competing notations, none of them are actually standardized, and every variable is a single greek letter completely disconnected from what the variable is, while other greek letters serve as operators.

    We literally have not progress one bit since Newton and Leibniz wrecked math notation.
