  • I keep thinking back to Trump & JV Dunce lecturing Zelenskyy about how he was carelessly courting world war 3. “You’re playing with world war three!!” Trump yelled at him.

    And then they do this. Just unbelievable.

  • They didn’t have 55% of the population of the country though. Or immunity to the common cold. Or money and clout.

  • Interview: Mary Wiseman On Tilly Settling In As A ‘Starfleet Academy’ Teacher And Dealing With Toxic Fans

    Jump

  • Let’s understand the word “toxic” though. We use the word “toxic” when a relationship or subject has become so radioactive that anything going into it comes out bad, even if innocently intended. Hating on Tilly is pretty toxic now, following an overwhelming amount of pointless hate online. You didn’t create that entire cloud of toxicity with one comment. No one could. But you walked into it. If you just want to innocently express your distaste for this character, you should probably be mad at all the people who made that impossible by flooding the dialogue with mean, stupid hate. Because at this point, making an unqualified swipe at her has gone toxic. If you have something meaningful and critical to say, say it. If you just want to make a jab, yeah, I’m afraid that is toxic now. You can claim you didn’t know, etc but you gotta read the room as it were. Or the room will spell itself out for you, as happened here.

  • Well, it is somewhat obnoxious to show up and say “hey! I’m here and I don’t know what I’m talking about!”

  • Jesus this was hard to read.

    Yeah, that’s a great question. It’s tricky, because a lot of times in acting, you want to kind of give what you receive. And so I felt like what I needed to hold, and what I was reminded of by the director and Alex and everybody involved, is that she’s affected by by this and what this girl is going through and how this girl is responding to her, but also, she’s in a position now where she’s a teacher and responsible for this cadet, and needs to hold things together to guide her through this really difficult experience, which was a really fun thing to play, and really the dynamic in the playing of it was how to empathize with her and receive what Tarima was experiencing and going through and try to steer the ship where I thought it needed to go in order for her to move through this experience and heal and be able to come out better on the other end.

    Something something people experiencing emotions and people experiencing emotions about people experiencing emotions. Damn.

  • I agree there is probably adaptability here. If I were at the cutting edge of innovating on this, though, I would want to eliminate that variable if I could. Plus, in the long run, the camera will still need to be at eye level, because the world is designed for ordinary people whose eyes are there. Even if you could adjust to having your eyes on your belt buckle, you still wouldn’t be able to walk up to a workstation, sit down, and get your job done.

  • It makes sense if you think about it. An artificial eye could be mounted anywhere in theory. But your brain expects images to be captured from that point of view and it’s going to be the best spot to place the camera to make the feed comaptible.

    It also makes sense that this kind of tech would begin with a single video feed. They’ll figure out stereoscopic vision later. So, just the one eye…

    The look makes perfect sense…. And just happens to resemble a borg getup!

  • Uh no. At least don’t paint us all with that brush please.

  • Scientists Have Just Successfully Grown Chickpeas In Simulated Moon Dirt For The First Time Using Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi To Absorb Nutrients And Water.

  • Cool. Sadly it doesn’t seem like it was even a goal for those worms to survive.

  • That’s what you don’t get from this simulation.

    My uneducated guess is that 1/6th gravity would still be a great deal more like earth than 0 gravity.

  • I’ve also learned about it being sharp. What I haven’t heard answered is this. It’s sharp because there’s no weather to wear it down. If there were, how easily would it wear down? Does it crumble the second anything touches it? Being sharp and staying sharp are two different things. How much of a threat is this stuff, actually?

  • I started out wondering if this simulation would work again in lunar gravity, and now we also need vermiculture to work in lunar gravity.

  • When I was young I was told it would stunt my growth.

    Now that I’m a parent I think people just didn’t know how to say “we don’t want kids to get caffeine because it will make them wild or prevent them from sleeping properly.”

  • Low effort president, low effort meme

    Jump

  • Actually very well. You don’t understand the point you’re trying to make. The military being commanded by a civilian to keep the military in check is about keeping the military from ruling the country. See: Pakistan, Myanmar.

    What you see is the civilian government throwing the military around carelessly, not the military getting out of check.

    If you want to laugh about something, laugh about how the checks and balances between the 3 branches of government have broken down, not about the military ruling over the people.

  • My question too. At the very least he seems like a singular case where it’s unclear.

  • Yeah seriously. This kind of thing is really terrifying. This is why we’ll never make it into space. Being in space requires so much effort just to stay alive. The second anyone wants to kill anyone up there, everyone’s dead as hell.

  • Go stroke your lobes bro

  • It’s an example for illustrative purposes. It illustrates the point about grammar I was making. Now you’re on another point about whether it’s even necessary to use a gendered term at all. I don’t really feel like running around in circles on this further.
