Do you really think schools teach critical thinking and practical knowledge? State mandated education is geared to produce people who are smart enough to run the system and stupid enough not to question it. The fact that this dullard factory is being distrupted by what is essentially an electronic parrot speaks volumes about the whole charade.
Rooty
The problem is that when people say "New Trek", they actually mean Discovery.
Discovery is a poorly written show made by people who do not grok Trek, and think that high ranking naval officers behaving like teenagers makes for good TV. SNW is alsio Nu Trek and manages to be faithful to the original vision while introducing new concepts.
Calling people critical of poory written shows bigots is very discrespectful. You may like it, but that doesn't mean that everybody else has to like it as well.
Every encounter I've had with the Catholic church has shown me that they're a hypocritical organization that wants to impose onto society a set of rules they themselves do not abide by. If you are a layman you are a chump and a mark.
Spent waaay too much on a single volume illustrated edition of all the Earthsea books. My weekend is going to be lit.
It's hillarous how catty RP theory is. A man belittling another man in front of women is loser bitch behaviour, and certainly not something one would associate with an "alpha" man (confidence, leadership, courage, remaining calm in times of crises, helping those weaker than themselves etc )
I use gimp for professional graphic design at my workplace, nobody gives a shit.
Meanwhile, on c/technology there is another thread on how linux should ditch the terminal (for some reason).
I've decides to pretend its 1998, so it's Newgrounds, webcomics and OSR blogs for me.
Thanks to enshittification I've gone back to reading books, so, thank you advertisers?
Online ads can be easily circumvented, I am more annoyed with giant billboards polluting public spaces. Oh well, one more reason to spend more time in nature.
Sobs quietly
I just want a consistent spelling system.
