Plus, there are contrarians everywhere.

Fair enough. I was suggesting that Michael Okuda didn’t have utility in mind when he made it because that’s not what he was hired for.

Edit: In fact, I just read that he was under directive by Roddenberry to make something minimalist to suggest technological advancement. In that sense, it was prescient.

It was enough of a Nazi salute for the head of France’s far-right party, who are Nazis, to cancel his planned speech.

I don’t think that’s fair. Plenty of people in this world do not know much about computers or the internet or anything in that area and just need a printer. So they go to their local big box store and there’s the HP printers and they’re a good deal, so they buy them.

Consumers do not get what they deserve when companies treat them like shit just because they don’t have certain knowledge.

He has almost no filter and I think if he was a secret KGB operative, that would not be a secret by now because it would have just come out at random at some point.

He’s extremely malleable, loves rich people and authoritarians, and will agree with almost anyone who kisses his ass. So it’s pretty easy for Putin to just wrap him around his little finger.

LCARS is very pretty, but it’s also really poor as a GUI. It was designed for form over function because of course it was.

No trans person has ever done anything bad to anyone I care about.

All Republicans have.

Does the Great Koala not imply an even greater eucalyptus tree? And does that not imply a yet greater still Australia? At which point, is that on an even still greater Earth? Is it a Great Koala Cycle in both directions?

So basically, everyone involved in this incident is a terrible person. Lovely.

I assume if he had shot Palestinians like he thought he did, DeSantis would have given him some sort of award.

What we need to do is find some way to make a giant fusion reactor and put it in the sky and get energy from it that way.

But that’s just a pipe dream…

I didn’t ask for an argument, I asked for an explanation. Apparently you don’t have one.

Nope. That’s not an explanation for why all of the conflicts I listed including the war with ISIS in Iraq, which is still happening (sounds like a forever war to me) are not Trump’s fault.

You have not explained why none of those are Trump’s fault and yet the wars you are talking about are Biden’s fault. Please explain.

Okay the Trump is responsible for all of these wars and military conflicts since they happened under his watch:

Oh yeah, and…

I believe you described all of that as “very peaceful” earlier.

Looking forward to the explanation for how ISIS in Iraq isn’t Trump’s fault even though somehow it’s Biden’s fault that Russia invaded Ukraine.

Neither of those were started by Biden. Why did you say they were?

Also, what progress? Russia just drone bombed the Chernobyl concrete dome.

Ah.

I may not be wearing my glasses and I may have had some wine.

Oh sure, now that I’ve left Indiana, suddenly being queer is a good thing…

Which wars in specific were the “forever wars” that Biden started that Trump then stopped? Which countries did Biden invade with the military he controls? Name them.

I said he is threatening to start them. Read before you respond.

Also, the president, despite what you and Trump think, is not the emperor of the world and cannot stop other countries from starting wars. Trump won’t be able to either if that’s what some other country decides to do. He doesn’t have magic powers like you seem to think he does.
