Akiva Goldsman On How ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Will End With Kirk In Command
  • They don't even need to be creative minded just not short sighted fiscally. If they leave the shower in a good place people will tend to watch it more than once. That means buying more copies of it or staying subscribed to a steaming service that caries it and that means licensing rights pay day down the line.

  • Wolves an' Leopards Are Trying To Kill The Sheep an' The Shepherd
  • It doesn't matter what he does. The other party ran on look how bad he is and he still won. The strategy of look at the bad stuff he does doesn't matter when it comes to changing things. It's just the other side of the outrage profit machine.

    The only thing anybody can do is talk about how they will changed it. If that is even possible anymore by using the system and if not, how to change it via organized resistance. (I'm talking French style resistance not a hashtag or changing your profile picture or other online bullshit like that).

    Pointing fingers and saying how bad they are or showing the hypocrisy like John Stewart had been doing for decades now. Flat out doesn't work.

  • When A Good Show Has A Bad Ending
  • It's almost like stories are different from people and stories are comprised to a beginning middle and end. The only time this doesn't count is if the series is not serial based and a mess of episodic with serial through arcs.

  • Can anyone name a movie that was masterfully acted and directed but the budget was so low that it looked like a Neil Breen movie.

    For those don't know Neil Breen. He is known for using VHS camcorder and a CT Scanner made out of paper in his movies.

    What are some good places/activities where a middle-aged man can make new friends?

    Bonus points: if that place/activity is friendly for disabled people with limited mobility.

    Healthcare workers should have combat like ribbons like the military has. Like first responders got during 9/11.

    Like there be one for Covid then another one for ebola. Generic ribbons for each mass shooting.

    I know it's dark but they need to be recognized. In the Army we would joke our ribbons were our PTSD listed out our chest. Figured it's the same for them.

    [Solved] Does anyone remember a movie title about a a secret group of people that pause time and rebuild the world.

    Like they construct the world for each day? Like you see them putting up mailboxes and painting the roads.

    With all the CGI/AI corpse puppeting that keeps happening. At some point someone is going to remake Triumph of the Will with an all star cast of recently deceased movie stars.

    If someone is dead they should stay dead this is how art dies. It's easier to keep recycling the same time shit over and over. I want to see what the new generation brings to the table.

    The Trees don't stop growing just because there is fire on the horizon.

    When having one of my bad days I think of that quote. It's was a random statement in a comicbook of all things. If you check my post history I would be considered a doomer about the climate only but I'm trying to not be.

    The importance of Names and how people on average don't really think about what the name is telling you.

    I was just thinking about the word social media as a term answer how it relates to regular media.

    Like what is regular media? it's someone that is paid to entertain you for money or influence you for people that pay them for power.

    Now the word social media if it relates to old media what would it be at face value. It's a person that is paid to make you feel like you have a social connection with them for money influence you for people that pay them that want power.

    Like what was social connections on the internet before the rise of social media.

    It was forums and if we look at that word what is it as face value from the word itself its meeting or medium where ideas and views on a particular issue can be exchanged.

    Ideas to be exchanged everyone was equal there was no media personalities no popularity contests. No followers just a group of people sharing ideas around a common interest.

    How off base am I? did I miss anything in my reasoning here?

    With all this ghostty talk. Am I out of touch for still using terminator all these years?

    Like the question above am I just an old man that's not keeping up with the times or is terminator still a great terminal to use in 2025?

    What are some of your best memories from services like heat.net or MPlayer or dedicated servers in general?

    My favorite was a time my best friend and I were on the second phone line talking and took on 15 to 2 in quake 2 CTF and won.

    Is there a community on lemmy to vent or confess?

    Im looking for the internet equivalent of screaming into the void when stress gets to great and you are about to pop.

    Sending intranet Email on a token ring network still used the same process as creating a Memo

    Please correct me if I'm wrong, might have breathed in too many soap fumes.

    Token Ring sends the packets to every node by passing it from one node and if that node is not the recipient it passes it on to the next node.

    Memos were created the day before with a list of recipients then it was passed around till everyone on the list had read it.

    two things I came away with after watching DS9 - Past Tense today.
    1. Never realize it takes place over labor day weekend until today. It hits even harder knowing that.
    2. It kind of makes me sad not knowing how the original Bell got acess to the Net without jadzia's help. That makes me think he couldn't and It was a predestination paradox and the implication is humanity couldn't put us on a path to the world of star trek on our own and we needing star fleet to push the scales. Explains a lot for our timeline.
    3. 1995 Me: Getting the voices on the Net would fix things for sure. 2024 Me: There would be a misinformation campaign to drown out those voices and used by grifters to make a quick buck off the cause. Most would just swipe to the next youtube short/reelz/TikTok video.

    Yeah i made myself sad
