  • Discovery also had hologram communication technology that I guess was also a secret? Starfleet went back to flatscreens for everything and didn’t use holograms again until the 24th century.

    If it was just one thing, okay, but there were such numerous inconsistencies, it was like the writers and designers did not care about trek, they were writing a sci-fi show with the trek name slapped on top.

    It’s totally possible to respect the heritage of old sci-fi - look at The Mandalorian and Andor - maintaining consistency with the old retro sci-fi aesthetic actually elevates them above what a modern redesign would have done.


  • They ruled that people acting together have all the same rights that they would have acting individually

    Bullshit, corporations are not “people acting together”, they’re autocratic command structures where one or few people hold all the power.

    preventing someone from spending money on producing and promoting their speech effectively prevents them from being heard

    Also total bullshit, unless you agree that allowing people to be poor is a violation of the first amendment, because being poor effectively prevents them from being heard. Which you won’t.

    Which are both perfectly true, common-sense statements

    I’m already confident you don’t have a single ounce of common sense in your empty head after reading those two sentences.



  • CU vs FEC was specifically about campaign financing, but yeah basically ruled that organizations like corporations are protected by 1A, and money counts as free speech.

    Which is obviously bullshit on every level, but just one way that a SCOTUS with a few corrupt individuals can destroy democracy for an entire country.
