You're missing the Barclay Saga, lol.

DS9 is my fave but VOY had it's moments, certainly worth watching for the doctor alone.

If you want a good VOY episode that won't spoil anything, check out Living Witness (4x23).

Nvm, I misread your comment, you've seen it, leaving comment unedited for others.

Advanced Dungeons and Dragons was removed from all online catalogs of which I am aware, it's a great ep.

Well, according to capitalism the appropriate thing to do is to solve it for the ultra rich and let everyone else be contaminated and die of awful cancers.

It's only rational. The alternative would be banding together to make the world better for everyone but that is just silly. I mean, it would be expensive, and by expensive I mean that as a world we've de-incentivized any action that doesn't generate wealth for the capital owners. Should we change this paradigm? No, rich people would be mad.

How will we know who is better than others if we can't have children inherit unearned wealth which allows them to be smug cunts to everyone their whole life?

People who are born without wealth are just worse people, clearly. And there is nothing to be done.about it. If your parent ever made a questionable financial decision, the appropriate thing to do is have that mistake ripple through dozens of generations causing untold trauma. As it should be.

Edit: /s is obvious. No?

What a perfectly rational thing to post in a television and shows forum. You totally don't seem like you're trying to be annoying..

In the past I would have written a lot more, now I just block dummies. After briefly calling them dumb.

Hey, you're dumb.

To the blocking!

Of course. Because as we know, every positive event in history has occurred while holding hands and respectfully requesting what was required.

I have a wheel mount but I'd like to have a full sled with chair and wheel mounts that I sit in. Right now I use an office-style racing-chair, it's meh.

It seemed to me that the "beautiful propaganda" as you call it.. and I can't really disagree with you.. could be an olive-branch extended from the SK film industry to NK audience (because we know NKs smuggle and watch SK dramas.. even a soldier in the show does that).

So idk, I like to always approach things pessimistically AND optimistically.. then compare the two perspectives. In this case you're the critic and I'm devil's advocate.

Will it make a difference on the large scale? No. Will it delight and sway a few NK citizens toward reunification? I'd guess probably. But who knows.

What about hang gliders being piloted during a tornado by a South Korean corporate heiress? No? Damn, they never learn.

Trash company with trash reputation does trash actions. And no one was surprised.

Boeing went from a company everyone was proud to work for to a company that leverages civilian death for profit.

But hey, in the interim the stock price went up and a few CEOs got richer. I bet the civilians who died weren't even millionaires. Tbh probably deserved it. /s

In a just world, Boeing would fuck off and go bankrupt instead of relying on welfare from the government to survive.

But we don't have capitalism for corporations, they get socialism, not citizens tho, citizens get homelessness and tear gas at protests.

Fuck Boeing and fuck every manager who worked there and didn't blow the whistle. All corrupt. All have blood on their hands.

Edit : Oh, one last thought. If we had UBI, citizens could turn on and pressure their employers because if they get fired, well they will still have their base-needs met. Companies would be safer and held to a higher standard with a workforce that doesn't fear termination. And we need to stop tying insurance and benefits to jobs, they should be separate. But that's a topic for another day.

TLDR, I said rude things about Boeing, then Boeing managers, then realized I was probably too harsh on managers because they exist in a system that rewards corruption and punishes truth with termination (death? TBD). Then I presented my solution to keeping whistle blowers safe. UBI. While doing so I noticed (once again) that our entire system is designed to fuck up people and protect corporations. The same corporations that see people as expendable meat robots, aka, "replaceable parts".

I very much enjoy watching them do it on the show.

But it's cool to know a machine exists for puff pastry, I'll have to find a video of one later.

..then that's as good a reason as any to go to the pastry shop. >=}

I understand so much more here than before I started watching The Great British Baking Show.

I'm thinking, 96 layers? Is that a lot? I need to go rewatch a puff pastry episode. 😰
