  • Having watched TNG without being influenced by the community. I agree that his character starts pretty obnoxious, but I always got the sense that the point of his character was that his inclusion on the ship as a kid raised by this future world was just as “alien” as Data or Worf. Then again, it was also obvious that he occasionally got completely brain bonked for some episodes in order to make him the naive child of the group.

    I make a luxury watch for 500$, you make your watch for 20$. We both sell our watches for double the price. I need to sell less watches to make a larger profit than you.

    It seems like you’re trying to lie about Tesla to hate them.

    I still hate Tesla and Elon despite the fact that the flop of the cyber truck isn’t actually worse than the worst flop of all time. That actually makes me more of a Tesla hater than you. Sorry, I don’t make the rules :/ better luck next time

    Based on the fact that I know they cost more. They are marketed as luxury trucks my dude. It’s not some wild and wacky theory my guy. I just said 10x to make the math as simple as possible when I typed.

    Edsels sold for the equivalent of 26,000$, cyber trucks start at 79,000$ that’s 1.5:1 in favor of cyber trucks.


  • I agree. The largest point to be highlighted is that learning and building skills is just as beautiful and natural as singing and dancing is portrayed in this post and intertwines with all of these activities.

    But I mean it’s clear to me that this post is probably teenagers trying to intellectualize why they want to be lazy.




  • I took it as a bastardization of the “return to nature” sort of movement. It’s in quotes because a type of naturalism can be very positive getting in touch with nature, conservationism etc. But the fascist version is worshipping colonialist sort of “homesteading” aesthetics and the patriarchal rugged explorer type that encourages hyper individualism and anti-social behavior.



  • It makes more sense when the isekai is the character getting transported away and immediately placed in mortal danger over and over like Wizard of Oz. Dorothy has a choice of a provincial life where she might grow up and a world where flying monkeys attack her every chance they get and she’s never not on the run the entire story.

    If I were isekai’d I would probably be extremely curious about whether I had a connection to my old world. But I wouldn’t necessarily leap to go the first chance I got.
