  • Turns out Picard is a raging alcoholic with cognitive impairment and is only a figurehead the crew needs in place in order to manage the ship.

    It also turns out that the entire crew is actually Borg which have adapted into creating perfect disguises for their physical implants and augmentations, to hide their identity and infiltrate the federation .... with an entire federation ship crewed by Borg and captained by a single human who is a helpless easily manipulated alcoholic.

  • Nothing more American than to see Republicans freak out at the tiniest possibility that someone wants to actually help average Americans ..... and instead of ignoring them, they label him a radical socialist that is dangerous.... dangerous to who? The rich!

  • Does anyone else feel overwhelmed by how the world is going this year?

    Jump

  • Someone ... or a new artist should just release a new version of the song with new lyrics every year

    But to your question ... I'm Indigenous Canadian, so from the day I was born, I've always been overwhelmed by the world because most of it, especially living in northern Ontario was a government that either actively or passively just wanted us to either disappear, assimilate, go away or just die.

    I've always seen the world as falling apart. I remind my friends when we debate this stuff that the human species has been around for about two million years, a species that looks like us was around about 100,000 years ago and the most modern ancestor that could think, act and be like us is about 50,000 years ago. We've only just started our technological evolution about 200 years ago. So when you think about it, we are more designed as prehistoric cavemen and cavewomen who are easily scared of shadows in the dark or what happens after we die. We have only just taken our first step out of the cave we all used to inhabit. It's going to take us a few more thousand years to get to the point where our brains can process and live with the modern world we created .... that is if we last that long. In the meantime, we'll just fumble along trying to become temporary Masters of the Universe on our tiny speck of floating dust in the galaxy.

    To put things into perspective ... listen to Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot

    Or watch the cartoonist Steve Cutts A Brief Disagreement

    The thing that is pissing me off these days is not so much that the world is falling apart ... it always has been for me ... its that we are accelerating the amount of danger we are putting all of humanity ... and for what? a little bit of profit and for a small group of people to say they can rule the world?

  • American Democracy Might Not Survive a War With Iran

    Jump

  • It's the political version of 'Weekend at Bernie's' .... America killed democracy a long time ago and they've been parading around the dead body for years pretending that everything is OK.

    As the years go by it's getting harder and harder to get people to ignore the rotting stinking corpse they keep dressing up in American flags and uniforms.

  • Who says it survived the last war in the middle east?

    American democracy is an oxymoron

  • Trump lists reasons he deserves Nobel Prize in epic meltdown

    Jump

  • Some no name group in Pakistan should just set up a 'Nobele Peace Prize' committee and award him the prize in a big grand ceremony in Lahore.

    In the ceremony, just place a large oversized gold coloured metal cheap copy of the Nobel Peace Prize and put over Trump's neck.

    It's not like these idiots follow convention or want to agree with reality - we would know but they wouldn't care and they could go on living in their own delusional reality.

  • How is federated social media better?

    Jump

  • The biggest thing is control and censorship.

    On the corporate side if your posts and content are seen as too extreme in one way or another, depending on what government or group ... you can be censored and have you posted either deleted, dismissed or hidden. In extreme cases, your account can also be shut down.

    Xitter is already a propaganda hell hole that only pushes right wing content because they pushed out any criticism.

    FB actively pushes its own content based on the highest bidder which often just means pushing right wing and conservative content in a regular basis.

    Bluesky as open as it's supposed to be has already had problems in Turkey where the government there asked bluesky to restrict access to many accounts.

    The Fediverse will have these same problems and people and governments will try to censor people but due to the open non centralized nature of the system, it will be much harder for any one group or government to censor anyone. The only way they could shut it down would be to completely outlaw any platform that uses the protocol everywhere.
