All my favourite speakers in the Australian parliament do exactly that. I especially like how disappointed they sound. “Order… The member for Bradford will resume his seat… The member for Bradford is warned… All who agree that the member for Bradford should get the fuck out, say aye…”

Try autism! I do that a lot. Sometimes I gotta calm down instead of going off on someone.

Or at least take the time to think about whether the topic in question is important enough to really give someone the business. The talk-business.

Nice. What are you running on?

To me this says Sremovedhorped. Thankyou for highlighting the absurdity. 😄

I like how you stopped bothering to modify the copy pasta a third of the way through. 😄

Poor godless fools.

And BEOS, of course.

Did you see how everyone looked at Sisko, and how he talked about it afterwards with Dax like “Holy shit, I went too far, didn’t I old man?” “Yes, you did, and you’re lucky you got away with that shit, Benjamin.”

The show highlighted the problem, and that it was not the right thing to do, and how Sisko needed to be aware of that going forward.

Take a look at the first appearance of the Bajorans, as opposed to how they were presented later on. That is one example. There are also a few “oppressed populations choose violence” stories in the early seasons where that is considered simply wrong, as opposed to some in later seasons where it is treated with nuance.

It’s not a one to one, but it is indeed interesting to watch, as OP said.

Just want to say to both of you that this type of discussion about Star Trek is the best and it’s why I love the show.

You both make such great points, and exemplify for me why sitting around in the conference room talking about a tense situation was so important in old Trek. Different viewpoints can both be important enough to be presented in the discussion.

Ha! Ironic.

Does the Internet Archive have any records of the internet in China? I am not familiar with its practices.

There are definitely retro video gaming preservation sites around, but I do not know of them.

You might also want to make an account and ask on hexbear or lemmy.ml, lemmy.world has a weird anti-China bias even for politically neutral stuff like this.

Not at all! They can visit Ukraine for free!

They like USD so much they make their own! Big damn US patriots they are.

A disappointment equivalent to Piefed.
