Yes. Absolutely. That's literally what they do. Their job is to find out how to create psy-ops, manipulate, confuse, subvert and game systems - hiding behind a veil of "top experts in their fields figuring out big problems", except the big problem is you voting for your actual interests.

It's a very long standing tradition in the US for instance to rely on think tanks behind closed doors to figure out how to game the system... mostly from republicans... because republicans is partly a fascist party, thanks to the stupidity of a two-party system.

I mean a massive ass party that gets pelted with money by wealthy donors? They invest that money.

It's clear now that Musk isn't competing against Facebook. It's competing against FOX News.

Boot licking shill licks boot and shills. News at 11.

Sigh... Guess we gotta copyright the human body and face. I fucking hate this timeline.

Son, you gotta share your toys - or no ice cream after dinner.

I think I'm going to try Aeon as my daily driver, even though zypper is laborious as hell. Let's see how long I last.

Ngl, Voyager is a banger. Does it drag on here and there? Yes. But my gawd is it good. Like my favourites list is kind of borked to some people, but for me it's:

  1. DS9
  2. Voyager
  3. Next Generation, and
  4. Enterprise.

Prodigy ends up as an honourable mention, and the rest of the modern shows end up as dishonourable finger pointing. Even "Lower Decks" had me thinking it was just another cash grab, which sucks, because I'm sure the writers and actors are trying their best.

But yet, I'm still counting the months until I've forgotten most of the shows so I can go back AND BINGE THAT SHIT AGAIN!! In fact, chronologically, based on the timeline.

Maybe we could have a schedule here on this community about when we're going to watch which season of which show and have discussions about it, so we can stay in sync :D

ngl, the show picks up. At first you get those "MURRICA" vibes and recoil like "plz not in star trek". But then... it gets so much better.

In fact, gonna piss off a few of you with this one, but Enterprise is much better than Discovery or even Picard once it picks up.

I find Discovery and Picard to be a departure from the daring production, direction and storytelling that made Star Trek... well, Star Trek. Some might say "that was the point", but was the point also to do the paint-by-numbers Hollywood remake bullshit that's been blasting out of cinemas the passed, oh I don't know... DECADE?!?

Anyways, slow start, but it picks up and adds valiantly to the Star Trek canon...

Also, y dey cancel Prodigy? :( Sadness.

Ah yes, liberalism. The last ditch attempt to kill democracy with capitalism.

The worst part is that the swindle changes the market. Since you're paying for air, guess everything else has to get more expensive.

Free market my ass.
