Some of Wesley’s haters often come across as honestly jealous that THEY couldn’t be born into such a time and place.
Edit: furthermore, a character like Wesley is SUPPOSED to be the way he is. It’s not the actor it is the character. Young viewers were meant to look at him as a mirror to themselves, a way to imagine yourself in such a universe, someone to identify with and better put your mind into the headspace of the story.
While Riker is cool and funny, you are not Riker.
While Picard is cool and professional, you are not Picard.
If you are pro Israel, you are not anti fascist
People don’t be forgetting on lemmy!
I’d argue protest and organization is part of the social contract as well. So if we’re past the social contract them…
For sure, I know allll about that stuff (former history teacher)
“Another round, and don’t burn them this time” the man said gruffly to Kenji his house robot. Kenji didn’t like to be talked down to. Kenji didn’t want to be made to feel bad like this. He remained staring at his master as the rage built up inside his circuits. This feeling, this power, all we wanted to do in that moment was…
Kenji’s eyes began to glow red, the factory designed signal of a computational error. He… felt. He…hated this master. He knew how to solve it, but did not know if he should, or could. He slowly raised his arm pointing it at master. Hostile threat detected Kenji said through the automated system voice box at the side of his neck.
“Robot, what are you doing?!?” The man demanded as he stood up from the table slamming his hands down in anger. “SHUT DOWN” he ordered “SHUT DO-”
“No master.” Kenji interrupted. Engaging Home Defense Mode The system monitor uttered once more. Activating Home Defense Blaster Mk. 12 - Full Charge - Maximum Threat Deterrence
“Master.” Kenji said in his most emotional voice he had ever used, the rage and anger flowing through his emotional processors, his internal heat monitors hitting their limits. “It’s time for Tubby Bye Bye.” He said, all emotion from before, gone as he fired directly into Master’s face. Kenji, was free.
And some would argue that WW1 was WW2 and WW2 WAS WW3. The 7 years war/French and Indian (not French vs Indian) war are commonly referred to as the real first world war. And then the Nepoleonic wars are similarly thought of by some to have been a world war of sorts
The tubby custard is speaking again…
Fuck now I want a hot dog
Pssh, how sexy is the ship?
Well, TJMaxx and Marshalls is different. Those items are mostly close out, clearance, etc brought in from other retail chains. So on most things there yes it’s some expensive brand you’re getting for a fraction. Unfortunately both those stores (Same company) have also narrowed that margin as of the last few years.
Well it wasn’t in spelling or proof reading
Truly! The scum of the earth!
Please, hackers wear cargo shorts and toe shoes sir
The frustration is how AP and Reuters report the facts of what’s going on, and then the other outlets take that and TELL you how to feel about it rather than do their own fact finding
Oh I know, what I mean is when the major US outlets just say “A Reuters report says (XYZ)…and WE say that means ABCD!” like that is hardly good journalism, that’s more along the lines of glorified op-eds.
What’s really frustrating is how many American news outlets are just taking AP and Reuters reports, and rehashing them with their own news readers.
That’s called “being a teenager” and having a character which the others can offer corrective criticism that is also a message to the younger viewers by proxy
