  • There are only two things I can't stand in this world: People who are intolerant of other people's cultures, and the Xindi

  • I don't like his eyes or his voice, or that he gets more stretchy as the show goes on. I also don't like that he's the only heavily made up (make up wise) crew member. I don't find him particularly likeable.

    I get that it's part of the premise though, that ENT is trying to be a more coarse, and under developed Trek, so of course most aliens aren't going to be signing up.

    Speaking of which, I'm not really a fan of the Xindi as the bad guys.... it's almost like, it's all a Holodeck program Riker or someone is writing.

  • Nah, I'm currently re-watching Babylon 5 and then planning to re-watch Battlestar Galactica after that.

    I don't think ENT is going to get a fouth attempt. I'm kind of impressed it never stuck. I don't think I find any of the characters likeable enough.

    Hoshi and Trip are the most likeable, but they're very American. In fact they're all very American. Even Malcolm feels like an American idea of a stuffy British guy. I could picture any of them in a frat house.

    I might even go as far as to say, ENT is a Star Trek that makes no effort towards internationalism... And that the declining quality of Star Trek comes from a similar drift being repeated.

  • I've watched TNG, VOY, and DS9 through several times over... Even watched TOS through at least once or twice.

    ....never watched ENT all the way through.

  • The Coco Melon generation should be watching Tik Tok by now, so they probably never developed those regions.

  • He's like best friends with Chuck Schumer. Too many people associate "being kind of ethnic looking and nominally on the left" with being progressive, or actually leftwing. They're not the same thing.

    Unfortunately you have to check, so get used to looking into people.

  • Did you know the Democrats in the US are sponsoring anti-communist posts on Lemmy and Reddit in the hopes some the anticomm sentiment will bubble up and damage the momentum of progressive socially democratic candidates like Mamdani, AOC, and Sanders?

  • Young People Hate AI CEOs So Passionately That It's Almost Hard to Believe

    Geez that's an embarrassing headline.

  • "But the dogs are accurate because there was once upon a time drugs near the general area" (you)

  • True

    Jump

  • That's also not what's said.

    There's plenty of articles debunking this. Other articles make it more clear, that the dogs are responding to their handlers intuitions, in order to make them happy and get treats.

    That there "was once drugs in the area in the past some time" or else where at the rave/nightclub/house party, so residual odor claims can be made." isn't the same as confirming that's what the dog was picking up on.

    You're falling for cop-logic.

    Here's more studies on it. It's widely debunked.

    I think the biggest truth that goes unsaid is that cops use sniffer dogs the same way they use lie detectors - as a means of pressuring suspects.
