It’s also the most lighthearted Trek movie, which I think helps a lot.

And it plays to one of the biggest strengths of Trek: the ensemble cast. A movie has enough breathing room that everyone gets their chance to contribute and everyone gets their chance to shine. Previous Trek movies didn’t take advantage of that to the extent that 4 did.

The Motionless Picture, even in its ponderous bulk, doesn’t give everyone stuff to do. Oh, it gives the fans long sweeping vistas of the Enterprise that are water in what at that time was a long drought. But if you were a fan of Chekov or Sulu or Uhura, they took a back seat to Decker and Ilia.

Spock Dies at the End is more narrowly focused on Kirk, just because the antagonist is obsessed with him. But even there, our buddy Pavel gets something to do other than “photon torpeeeedos awaaaaye.”

Spock Gets Better is… the one that cemented the reputation of the Odd Numbered Trek Movie.

Exceptionalism is just a cutesy name for hubris and arrogance.

Democrats are currently fighting it instead of fighting republicans.

The primary is where you get a say.

In America, we get two choices and both suck. You have to vote for the least bad.

How’s that been working out for you? Because from here it looks like “we suck and we’re never going to fix it now shut up and vote for genocide and like it” hasn’t worked.

Your life is worse because “vote for second worst” stopped working. You can blame the voters all you want. But you’re not getting an electorate that votes for genocidal candidates just because they’re the second worst genocidal piece of shit.

Change or it’ll happen again. Or blame me for noticing and keep your hands over the burner.

Voting for the second worst candidate every fucking time for decades because there is no one better is how we slid so far to the right that one party is openly fascist and the other refuses to stop supporting genocide.

Did she say genocide is wrong at some point? Because it’s clear that you hate her.

You can tell he wanted to say “cuck” but knew it would give away his actual political leanings.

Were Biden’s tariffs not enough?

I remember when lemmy wasn’t reddit.

Shooting it was hardly preferable, except to people who like whatever cops do.

Assuming the yeast gets all of it and there isn’t any left, sure.

But hey, I’m sure we can trust the processed food industry to have our best interests at heart.

I miss washing my car without being expected to join a cult.

Sodium and chlorine are the same atoms in table salt. Not gonna have them by themselves.

Some of you who felt seen by the earier seasons of Aggretsuko might not have seen this yet.

Color printers are snitches.

Seems to me like this could be modified to mount a laser pointer to point directly into the lens without having to stand in front of the camera to aim it.

Ew. Stop tracking reddit in here.
