Fair enough. I was suggesting that Michael Okuda didn’t have utility in mind when he made it because that’s not what he was hired for.
Edit: In fact, I just read that he was under directive by Roddenberry to make something minimalist to suggest technological advancement. In that sense, it was prescient.
It was enough of a Nazi salute for the head of France’s far-right party, who are Nazis, to cancel his planned speech.

So from what I can tell, here is all of the places Trump has threatened either directly or indirectly to send the U.S. military since taking office in January:
Greenland
Panama
Gaza
Canada
Ukraine

It’s no longer misconduct if it’s approved of at the highest level.


“Voice acting as a profession just doesn’t pay,” she said.

LCARS is very pretty, but it’s also really poor as a GUI. It was designed for form over function because of course it was.
Cis women can regret breast implants, but somehow I don’t hear anyone advocating for stopping breast implants for cis women. You can even get them if you’re under 18. For purely cosmetic reasons.
And they have the same rights as I do, assuming they are a legal citizen of the USA.
No. No they don’t. Trump has ensured that.
This is from 19 days ago and he has done a lot more since.
In just one example- A cisgender person will have no trouble getting things like testosterone or estrogen if their doctor says they need it. Trans people are losing that right.


He’s a little boy wearing little boy pants.
I have seen similar arguments from people like this again and again. “You’re driving people to the right with your left-wing ideas!”
What?
You’re literally saying it on this forum.





“What if we abandon siding with one authoritarian and side with a different authoritarian” is not the good argument you seem to think it is.


Murica, land of the free, was founded by people who owned slaves. While speaking about the evils of slavery.
So the madness was always there.


Farmer’s market farmers generally aren’t from giant corporate farms.
They can have a white supremacy issue though.


The WSB campaign to save it made no sense to me. So many better companies have gone under.
Why does anyone think the squiggly red line signals something that’s always optional at this point?
