Well this is the dumbest thing I’ve read in the last few minutes. The forces behind religious occurrences are not merely ‘superhuman’ in that they exist without us, they are supernatural - i.e. they exist outside of nature, they violate natural laws. The most you can say about communism is that it posits natural laws, and not everything in it is such a law.
“former” war criminal, that explains it
I wonder if I can finally convince my relatives how serious this shit is, now that it’s affecting them… :(
based as hell comrade 🖤
Got a girlfriend… also I’m sorta the tomboy out of us. Am also English… England removed. No regerts.
Hail satan, comrade. 🤘
Hey, don’t insult Satan like that.
lol, I never read papers anywhere else for my work. ArXiv may suck if you wanna go looking at random, but it’s invaluable to be able to read the actual legit stuff in preprint form on there.
Then those two people will have to create a minimum of 3 (three) new parties with progressively longer and more obtuse names and spend the next 20 years hurling bitter recriminations at the other parties (and their own party once that one inevitably splits at its inaugural meeting).
I’ve seen all 10 films many times (no Abrams, your trash doesn’t count) and I really don’t remember an alien supercomputer saying any such thing. Or even being in any of those films. The closest thing would be V’Ger in TMP, which ‘scans’ (and thus kills) the Deltan navigator, Lt. Ilia and recreates her in the form of a computer probe with her memories to interact with the crew. While the crew do hit on the idea of using the probe’s memories of the dead Ilia’s romantic feelings for Captain Decker against her (it?) and that is really horrible in hindsight knowing what we now know about Decker’s actor…
As for the cold war thing, yeah the Klingons were explicitly meant to be a standin for the USSR, and of course, an American tv show of that era is gonna present a biased perspective, tbh I feel they did a better job than many others would have at presenting even the possibility of peace between the two. Worth mentioning one can extend the cold war metaphor to include others - the Romulans being the PRC (sneaky, authoritarian, collective-minded aliens with yellow skin even! Plus baseless accusations from one character in Balance of Terror that they ‘stole’ Federation technology to make their ships even though they clearly have advanced technology the Federation doesn’t have like the cloaking device and the plasma torpedo). If we accept the Romulans as being the Chinese to the Klingon USSR and Federation as NATO, one could posit the Vulcans as kinda like Taiwan/ROC/KMT? I’m not so sure on that one but the argument could be made.
I think one has to consider the material circumstances in which the shows were made. TOS was made in the 60s at the height of the cold war, TNG was made in the 80s/90s and reflects prejudices of that era (the showrunner once Gene died, Rick Berman, infamously vetoing ANY LGBT representation at all - going so far as to interfere with DS9’s plans for Garak/Bashir, a show he wasn’t running). I think it’s about as good as one can expect given the environment in which it was made. Especially compared to modern Trek having people living in poverty and drug addiction on Earth of all places, and even having an “Elon Musk high school” or something mentioned in one episode.
lol, pretty sure the Banderites don’t have a ‘positive attitude’ about me and mine.
Post Hog.
In a just world every NAFoid would be sent to the front to be slaughtered en-masse charging through minefields.
Lot of Nazi fans popping in from other instances I guess.
The Netherlands, their (conservative) government has collapsed, apparently after having been in power for over a decade.
“Keep Thinking” - in this ukronazi’s case, “start thinking” might be useful advice, as he’s clearly not right now.
*Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. Dengism is more of a pejorative used by ultras to discredit/attack China, and there’s been developments since Deng Xiaoping Theory
Not only that but the shape bears no resemblance to the 9 dash line which is a very consistent shape that hasn’t changed in decades. Someone told me that this isn’t the only map in the film and that there’s another that apparently maybe does show a more realistic map and includes the actual 9 dash line, if so… I’m honestly baffled as to why that would even be shown as opposed to all the many other maritime boundaries in the world (disputed or not). But in the end it seems like such a nothingburger to get worked up over a blood Barbie film.
Sorry, but ‘lifetime b*tch’ (dumbarse language filter) was straight 🔥
