On a 1 - 6 scale, Star Trek scores 2, squishy soft.

Hard sci-fi says “this is how this works”, even if it’s complete bullshit.

First time ever hearing that explanation, doubt many people share that view.

I can sort of understand their logic. That’s no longer a beach, just a sea of plastic.

Star Trek transporters imply a lot of stuff, many of them contradictory.

Or extra smart, depending on your pov

My understanding is they ended up not working on it due to being silently fired by Disney.

Way to take a joke out of context for a clickbait headline.

I can’t tell if you’re being downvoted for being insensitive or your habitual mutilation of the alphabet. So… grats?

Not parent, but.

25s are measured in length of smokes! They last you exactly 25 smokes!

There is a difference between criticism and jokes.

Most people take ‘authentic’ to mean ‘similar to what you’d find in the country of origin’. There’s nothing racist about it, it’s about expectations.

Cultural appropriation is a western weird idea. Nobody outside the western world cares.

Depends where you live too. In some countries it’s almost the same price eating out as cooking your own meals.

I didn’t realise it was possible to be too credulous to be an exorcist.

Finger guns

As I said - most of those theatre practices, while they originated in the US, have now spread far and wide.

This resembled the actual thing less than finger guns resemble the real ones.

I’m not sure what makes you think I was talking about the US in particular. I’ve never been to the US. Unfortunately, their ludicrous practices have proliferated, probably due to them requiring the same practices at origins of flights headed there.

Not entirely. But it’s undeniable that most security measures are rooted in nothing more than a desire for a bigger budget.

Are you all brainwashed clones, or just one guy with a lot of fake accounts?

Yeah, it couldn’t possibly be because you’re spouting some insane views.

What goes through your mind, really? “But what if people say that I raped them”?

Some people believe in justice as an ideal, not justice because we might be subject to it. Granted you probably have to understand the concept of justice first.

Always the same bullshit over and over, the “you are a rapist. Now prove that you’re not” sentence written almost word by word

Again, I wonder why. It’s not as if it’s some huge glaring flaw in your argument that you’re just ignoring. You propose to give half the population the power to destroy the life of the other half with no checks and balances, and fail to see how it would be abused. You’re exactly the sort of idiot who ‘thinks of the children’.
