Me and suicide atm
Please don't let Stamets flame me
I mean.... Alternate opinions don't bug me. I'm not an admin of Startrek.website. I'm not gonna have a screaming meltdown because you don't like a show I like. The people who bug me are the people who speak unilaterally as if they're the be-all and end-all. Like the "Discovery isn't real Star Trek" shit gets an instant block from me. Otherwise I don't really care. Might block people who are extremely irritating about their opinion but that requires like... constant bitchiness and being rude to people who do like the show over the course of multiple threads.
For the record?
It's the greatest since TNG. Including Lower Decks.
I'd agree. Just because I like Discovery, and that it means a lot to me with the queer representation, doesn't mean that I think it's the best thing ever made. I think it gets a lot of unfair shit, much like TNG/DS9/VOY/ENT did back when they were released, but there are also legitimate complaints. Discovery has its problems. I mean the final season was so bad I almost changed my username on Lemmy...
There's nothing in the modlog about this post being removed. If it's gone then it seems to be because the user deleted it.
You're now just being argumentative and facetious. You're taking what I'm saying out of context, outright ignoring certain parts and forcing it to fit your own narrative. You're disingenuous.
Nothing can come from this and I don't have the energy for it. Goodbye.
I am becoming increasingly sick of seeing the word 'deport' being used by Republicans who are suggesting revoking citizenship and a banishment. It's exile.
So it's a taxi.
Motherfucker loves trying to reinvent the wheel only to end up at the goddamn wheel.
"I'ma invent a giant system that goes underground so we can move people around faster!" That's a subway, you santorum-covered condom.
"a manner that could have the effect of intimidating a member of the house."
Oh go fuck yourself. Can the haka be intimidating as hell? Oh god yes. But you should also be able to recognize the difference between active intimidation and a powerful protest. Especially when YOUR COUNTRY IS KNOWN FOR IT.
Most of us would rather die than ever become an American. Want a good example of the mood in Canada summed up against our 'ally to the south' as of late? Well let me just personally put it this way. You, the United States, are a fucking joke.
To quote an author, Stephen Marche, who spoke on the CBC here in Canada recently... The bold is mine but the emphasis really should be placed there anyway.
They've [The US] come off of 70 years of failed wars of occuption. One thing you have to understand about these comments is that they come from a profound weakness that America is really unfamiliar with. And Canada is unfamiliar with America being this weak. They can't hold Baghdad, I'm not sure why they think they can hold Montreal. But they're also being kicked out of Niger and you know they are weaker than they've ever been in a lot of ways. They are extremely fragile as a country. They have absolutely no solidarity, they have absolutely no unity. They are in the middle of dismantling their administrative state and war is a is a test, fundamentally, of the strength of the administrative state. So I think you should take this about as seriously as you would take the ramblings of a crack addict on the subway. I.e, you pay attention to it and get out of the way and you do what you can but, you know, this is not something to be treated like an actual... this is not something to be thought about. It's just the ramblings of lunacy.

I think he's [Trump] actually managed to make Canadians patriotic for the first time since I can remember. You have to say, he's the president of the United States but the United States is crumbling. Institutions are falling apart and 'Who the United States is at this moment'... that's not a meaningful phrase. You have to ask yourself which America are you talking about, which institutions are you talking about, because they are not under the guidance of anyone, right?

All he [Trump] can do is destroy. The American stock market is falling, even the threat of this [tarrifs on Canadian goods] has caused inflation to raise it's head. The American people fired everyone who has caused gas prices to rise almost immediately. They can tolerate almost anything from their political class. War crimes, whatever, but increase gas prices they go crazy for. So it's just very important to understand that this is spoken from a position of profound weakness.

America has never been an uglier place to become a part of. I mean who would wanna be American at this point in history. They're about to start killing each other. There is no question that there is a Canadian rejection of American values, the American government and Amreica itself. Why wouldn't you reject these people? They're awful.
There is no fine on earth that could be levied that would discourage others from doing this. If they have profits higher then who cares.
I'm in favor of forceful dissolution.
If you prove you cannot run a company safely, repeatedly violate safety violations and continue to do so for DECADES then you shouldn't be allowed to sell any product, ever again, to the public. The company should be scrapped and all assets sold off or let the government take it and start making cars but drop the cost massively and only sell to its citizens ala pharmaceuticals.
People get their drivers license taken away for far less than this. For pretty small things overall. Toyota laughed at customer safety for 30 years and has only admitted it when caught. Why the fuck is this company allowed to continue existing?
Good. Suffer, you utter shitgibbon. I want you to be as terrified as everyone else who you had to 'involve' yourself with was.
Bet you're sweating now, fuck face.
He was part of a team that created devices allowing people to play what they wanted on switch, 3DS and some other consoles. He was convicted of fraud and imprisoned for two years before being released. He still has to pay off a fine of 10 million dollars so Nintendo is garnishing his wages for the rest of his life. ~~Which pisses me off because he's on Disability in Canada which is barely enough to live on (trust me...) and also taxpayer funds.~~ Not to mention that there is no way in fucking hell that his part in all of this adds up to $10 million dollars in lost revenue for Nintendo which is exactly why that fine was applied.
Edit: Apparently disability can't be garnished. Was a slight fuck up on my end. I had misremembered something and misread something which led to that. Nonetheless, situation still massively fucked for applying a $10 million (well, 14.5 million but 10 million of that is for Nintendo) fine for a dude who made $320,000 off of the hacks. However if he did make any money outside of Disability, they would immediately be entitled to 30% of it. Fucking insane.
