Or maybe it's state capitalism. Like Norway does. But the GOP can't tell the difference between socialism and a stick up their ass, even while they love to hate the former and hate to love the latter.
Yes! I've been thinking the exact same thing. Watching TOS and TNG it clearly comes across that they're military hierarchies inspired in part by the kind of sciency and professional approach of the military / real life space program. The new shows reveal that the creators lack this understanding.
This is same as late 1800s when socialism came about. 14+ hour work days, no health care, no pension, no worker's rights, no HSE resulting in death and maiming, and so on. Then suddenly, the workers start talking, maybe the factory owner doesn't have our best interests at heart. Maybe we could imagine a better society where people are not expendable. It's worker run government for all the people, or owner run government for the owners.
You can fool some of the people all of the time and all of the people some of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. -Bob Dylan
You keep going at it. You try to make yourself a better person, bit by bit, and forgive yourself for your mistakes. You work to understand your own neurosis and patterns of emotion and find ways to work on them. I still feel dysfunctional sometimes, but it's a pattern that I've learned not to fall into fully.
If you like dnd outdoor hiking is not a bad thing. If you have any kind of interesting landscape near you, walks in nature are great for mood and inspiration for dnd.
It's good, but, have you noticed the enterprise has a crew of about 10 people? It's the main cast, and a few recurring characters here and there, and that's it. Sure, there's tons of extras in the bar and other shots, but none of them have names or lines. I happened to re-watch some TOS and there's new extras everywhere, on every away mission, on the bridge and they're... there. Once I realized this it broke my immersion a bit. Otherwise it's pretty good.
Yeah, and if someone thinks Leviticus, which was Jewish law more than 3000 years ago is still relevant for modern society, then I have a rather long list of inconsistencies and absurdities to show, aptly summarized by Martin Sheen in the west wing series.
Hi, Norwegian here, we have 5 weeks vacation per year, mandated by law. Oh, and the government takes 10% of your paycheck every month and pays it all out in July, so you have the money to go on vacation. Strong labor unions is the recipe.
The royals are quite decent and cool. I'm in principle for getting rid of the monarchy, but this gang is so chill I'm ok with not making a fuss. Except for this shitstain. And the crown prince's sister. And her charlatan husband. In fact, only the hereditary bloodline is good. It's almost like some divine magic, or that they got all the good attention and the others have useless sibling syndrome.
