Rishi Sunak is the name of a skunk in a Disney movie… And if it’s not, it should be.

It’s great that the two characters discuss this topic, I think it’s in the multi-part TNG episode where Ambassador Spock is creating a dissident movement on Romulus.

Yeah, but Data is actually intelligent and brilliant. ChatGPT is often just giving best averaged answers based on what’s most likely - and still hallucinates even in the latest version.

I haven’t used it, but it happens even in the demo they showed.

Technically he’s a Spock stand in: hyper logical but not quite getting humanity.

This characteristic… In fact lots of characteristics get shared and mix and matched across DS9, TNG, and Voyager.

In Voyager Seven of Nine and The Doctor are the “not quite understanding humanity” characters. In DS9, it’s Odo.

Ideally newer Trek would do this too, but it might also want to have:

A quirky or modded engineer: LaForge, O’Brien, Scotty, Be’lana.

A superior strength character: Spock, Data, Odo, Worf, Seven of Nine, Tuvok.

…and maybe a couple of psychic characters, Spock, Kes, Tuvok, Seven of Nine, Benjamin.

You’ll probably also need some mentally brilliant characters, a Klingon, and someone who doesn’t fit in due to a negative background and is jaded about it.

…a brilliant doctor helps too.

These characteristics are needed so you can write certain storyline types and stand alone episodes.

Yeah, fair enough.

Why be a dick about it when you can just ignore them. Seems like they’re just trying to communicate in a way that’s generally experienced as nice.

Like I get it, it’s easy to get annoyed at people trying to “make” you participate in an imaginary and kinda lame social behaviour… But like, being a dick on purpose probably does you more damage than them

No one likes someone whose rude for the sake of being rude, or an edgelord, even being a contrarian just for the sake of it isn’t the greatest characteristic.

Better to find a stable calm attitude that doesn’t require that… And if it’s a way to blow off steam, better to find ways that are more in your own domain of control, rather than having it controlled by an external trigger.

Something to give thought to next time your driving jeep anyways.

OPs meme seems like the most accurate version I’ve seen in a long time.

I failed maths, but I’m great at logic, which I consider to be the more important proficiency for programming.

Relative to much of the world yes.

In terms of economics and neoliberalism mostly.

You’re more right than wrong.

In terms of social liberalism, the differences between the two parties are more noticeable.

This is because structural politics is defined by undemocratic means, interests, and forces.

So we vote on more superficial aspects, such as the culture war and social rights.

Which can be important, but most of the time aren’t the real meat of the world’s problems.

Progressives also disappoint me. The public not being Social Democrats is my main issue.

These guys look like they wanna eat each other’s skin clean off. I ain’t trusting anything coming from them.

Israel’s United Nations ambassador displayed a yellow star on his chest Monday as he addressed the Security Council, provocatively pledging to wear the badge until members of the body condemn Hamas “atrocities”.

His wearing of the badge, which has come to symbolise the oppression of Jews since its imposition in Nazi-occupied Europe, was swiftly criticised by Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust memorial, which urged him to wear the Israeli flag instead.

Unfortunately the technology will also be used for creating new weapons of war.

For starters, Liberals are less violent, desire stability and an uplifting progression in social values, and tend to be fairly comfortable in themselves.

Other than that - when Liberals go far enough left, they become Socialists, and start to hate Liberals for their Capitalist elements and “economic liberalism”/neoliberalism.

When conservatives go far right, they turn into fascist conservatives… Conservatives, just more staunch, violent, and unreasonable.

It gets worse the more you look into it.

Technically everything would just freeze in place for 24 hours and then start again. No one would notice to the point this could be happening all the time and we’d be none the wiser.

28, all the gay porn, yiff/furry, and male anatomy ones that I’ve caught while browsing c/all.

Stalin did apparently love cowboy movies, and made party members stay up every night drinking and watching them.

It’s because the male ones believe their courses have informed them, and turned them into “knowledge experts” who know better than you. Where as female case managers believe their courses have made them better at connecting people to their resources and practices.

In short, whether conscious or not, the courses they do have different gendered outlooks and effects of participants.

One group becomes entitled ro superiority, and the others becomes a more connected listener.

But it might also be because men lack the lived experience most compatible with your own, and it’s possible they’re better at providing for male clients.

…but really I think women are just likely better at the job, and more likely to be sensitive to the needs of others in a more consistent and accurate manner.
