  • We tortured some folks

    Jump

  • This is what Žižek called the “unknown known” in reference to Donald Rumsfeld’s famous speech. That America had, all along, and knew that it had, all along, the capacity for evil and torture, but chose not to confront it or admit it prior to the war.

  • Hi StarTrek.website, I'm Karim Diané aka Jay-Den Kraag from Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, AMA! (Responding to questions Thursday @4pm!)

    Jump

  • Thank you for taking the time to answer our questions!

    First growing up, were you a fan of Star Trek? Second, now that you’re part of it, what has it been like to join such a large and long-lasting franchise?

  • Sacrifice for the greater good

    Jump

  • Omelas was a utopia. All we need is to sacrifice one so the rest of us can live in bliss.

  • Do we all concur?

  • The execution currently being wrongfully attributed to Luigi Mangione changed my view—as has the glorious 10th of September, when Charlie Kirk got Charlie Kirk’d.

    I realized that, empirically, I am pro-death penalty in some cases.

    Maybe another way to put it: do you believe in self defense? Maybe not “castle doctrine” or “stand your ground” but what about cases of war? If killing Nazis and Imperial Japanese soldiers in a war of defense (WWII) is okay, what about self-defense against the billionaires during a class war? It’s no accident the Epstein associates are all “elites.” This is part of the class war and their exercise of power over us.

  • Next!

  • OP is just doing a social experiment to test the “half-naked women get thousands of upvotes” meme from reddit by offering some content with half-naked men who aren’t otherwise connected to the A+ content about CEOs comically dying (or having their lives ruined).

  • [solved] What is this movie: teen heroin dealer

    Jump

  • I checked that list and I don’t see it. Wikipedia lists are a good starting point, but it may not have a page. Especially since, I have a sinking feeling about the fact that it may have been a made TV movie which tend to be less well-documented.

  • [solved] What is this movie: teen heroin dealer

    Jump

  • No, but I’ll add that to my watchlist!

    I should have specifiednin the post but it was ca. 1990, plus or minus a few years.

    What is this movie: teen heroin dealer

  • A true power move

    Jump

  • Isn’t this sort of the same idea as a spoonful of sugar and hiccups?

  • Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster

    Jump

  • Cross their T and rake the decks with grape shot!

  • Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre

    Jump

  • Thanks! I’ll check them out; I know I was speaking in a broad generalization. For contemporary country, I’m a fan of Aida Victoria, to name one. It’s just, as OP said, those songs and musicians who produce “Republicunt siren songs.”

  • Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre

    Jump

  • Ahaha, I won’t correct 🫡

  • Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre

    Jump

  • Actual, classic country is really good. It’s the modern stuff that’s all about loving Bush’s wars, drinking shitting beer, and hating gay people that’s the problem.

    Doc Watson, Johnny Cash, and Marty Robbins are all worth checking out, to name a few.

  • Duolingo gets it

    Jump

  • That’s a good pitch. I took French in high school so I’ve been benefitting from what I remember of grammar from that after many years without touching the subject. However I’m confident that it’d be basically useless for me if I was starting a new language from scratch.

  • Duolingo gets it

    Jump

  • That’s super interesting and I totally believe it!

    I have a lot of issues with Duolingo and did think about the free advertising and the fact that they’ve started to use more AI—wouldn’t have taken it too personally if you had been throwing shade. While I don’t pay for it, I just don’t know an alternative I can use in the same way 😕

  • Why Civilization VII is the way it is, and how its devs plan to win critics back

    Jump

  • I’m a Civ3 believer! Glad I’m not the only one.

  • Malaysian Cabinet agrees to PM’s 10-year, 2-term limit, says law minister

    Jump

  • Interesting. Highly unusual to see a term limit for a PM when by design parliamentary systems allow you to keep power as long as you have support.

  • Wouldn’t the AG be the one to target with these protests?

  • his legacy is admirable

    Jump

  • Started life as a peasant, cucked a king, and helped (albeit unintentionally) weaken a monarchy in a way that led to revolution. Truly was doing the lord’s work.

  • All the different Star Trek series on a triangle graph

    Jump

  • While I want to say that the combined effort of JJ Abrams and DIS have thoroughly trampled that possibility. PIC
