Here's the cam footage. You can go back and watch the whole thing happen.
It seems like the ship kept losing power (rumor is a fire on board), and kept losing control because of it. Looks like it was stuck in a turn for a bit, which is how it got pointed at the supports in the first place. You can see at the end, the ship is almost drifting straight ahead, and just barely starts turning away before it hits the support.
Hard to say for sure yet, but I'm guessing that it wasn't incompetence on the part of the harbor pilots. For a ship this size, if you start a turn thinking about where the ship will be a full five minutes from now, that's basically hauling ass. If you start losing control at random intervals, there's absolutely no way of knowing where you're going to end up.
Not at all. He has very narrow requirements for what constitutes an ethical orgasm, if you're even allowed that much.
Simping for landlords and real estate is some libertarian bullshit that just won't fucking die, where anything you can afford is permissible, even if it's bad for literally everyone but you.
I get how it happens of course. You don't want to make it acceptable for the state to erode the idea of private property, so you gotta chimp out at even the lightest criticism. The state would take whatever it could, if it thought it could get away with it. Problem is, landlords are way past the point where light criticism is enough, and that is entirely on them. They had to be responsible on their own, and they weren't.
I'm leaving my hometown next year, and it wasn't the squatters who drove me out.
Aside from missing content, the PC port was kind of fucked. Your reticle is significantly misaligned, to the point where it's too frustrating to play. There's supposedly a mod to fix it (and other issues) but I'm not surprised most people don't know about it.
You and your wiki-squatting butt buddies sound like you never got over your "the left left me" phase. The only thing I need to know is that the Satanic Panic is prog mythology, and that you're defending both its inclusion and its adherents long after you have any excuse for it.
I dunno much about his past, but he's been getting blown the fuck out for a few months now. He was either the lead writer or producer, I don't recall which, but he was identified as a problem by Youtube reviewers with hundreds of thousands (maybe millions at this point) views. So, he might be trying to go all-in on prog shit to protect him from the responsibility of leading a $200 million, seven year flop.
It was a combination of her executing the Klingon cult (?) leader instead of taking him prisoner, STD Klingons being written as lunatics, and STD Klingons accidentally being written as heroes who recognize the existential threat their shitlib neighbors pose to their culture.
The original Klingon concept for STD was that they were gonna be an allegory for white nationalism. You'd never know it today, because they drew their idea of white nationalism from flavor-of-the-month Dem propaganda at some point in 2017. It's unrecognizable without having it spelled out for you by 2017 Twitter's "trending" section.
You can still see the replies if you go to it on Twitter itself.
Just another example of progs passing down their mythology. Sexy armor has been out of the western mainstream longer than this badly proportioned faggot has been alive. He's never played a game with it, and definitely not in D&D. Those images are almost certainly, at best, from some Korean MTX-ridden whale farm, but more likely just resume padding he pulled from Artstation.
Her name is fucking Goldfarb. If you had told me that name out of context, I would have assumed it was the name of a Harry Potter goblin.
Whatever the show's flaws, I do think her having most of the elements down at 4 was part of a genuine attempt at characterizing Korra as entitled and immature, showing her the same at 17 as she was at 4. Not the only purpose, but part of it. It may have been undermined by the writers' own beliefs, but it wasn't actually a grrl powah moment. The egregious strong women schtick was more ATLA's thing.
The issue in Korra's characterization is that, no matter how wrong she is, somebody else is always more wrong, either because they're suddenly written as nutcases, or just because they made Korra feel bad. The consequences she faces are only shown for brief moments, being reversed very quickly, while the focus is more on how her feelings, no matter how quickly they change, or how much of them are self-inflected, are valid. None of this is for propaganda reasons, but because the writers themselves are woke. I think they actually wanted to write Korra as troubled, but simply weren't capable of it. This is actually how progs interpreted troubled women in the early 2010s.
Where Korra does most of its propagandizing is in its proto-liberal patriotism. You can smell the Obama voters on the script. It's all about how cosmopolitan liberalism is so plainly the sole intelligent and moral belief system that you'd have to be evil or retarded to choose otherwise. Even if you recognize and attempt to fix flaws in the system yourself, you, as a pleb, will inevitably fuck it up. Only a true priest(ess) of liberalism can integrate your beliefs, and only insofar that they can be interpreted as an extension of liberalism, rather than a criticism of it.
There's definitely a connection between Korra's characterization and liberal patriotism, because one is the product of unchecked female narcissism and the other is fueled by it, but that's a whole separate wall of text.
They try pretty hard not to expose it, but it does seem to pull the same basic trick. There were still a few words (mostly irregular demonyms) that didn't trigger the 'no person' patch, and you could get them to generate signs using words to describe them. Naturally, "diverse" was a constant.
Until Elon bought Twitter, he would trend at least once a month. It went away for a while, but other leftists figured out how to game trending, or Twitter's got insiders again.
I've got another great Biden mini-article in that category:
Vice President Joe Biden is praising Jewish leaders for helping change American attitudes about gay marriage and other issues.
Biden says culture and arts change people’s attitudes. He cites social media and the old NBC TV series “Will and Grace” as examples of what helped changed attitudes on gay marriage.
Biden says, quote, “Think — behind of all that, I bet you 85 percent of those changes, whether it’s in Hollywood or social media, are a consequence of Jewish leaders in the industry.”
Biden says the influence is immense and that those changes have been for the good.
Biden was speaking Tuesday night at a Jewish American Heritage Month reception hosted by the Democratic National Committee. He says Jewish values are an essential part of who Americans are.
They already genuinely do. "Giving the right ammo" is a common NPC talking point, even those with enough processing power to recognize the left's responsibility in this shit.
They tried to call it "malinformation." You know, information that's true, but hurts the state, so it's basically as bad as lying.
Feminists attack porn from the angle of sexual objectification and how it victimises them and their gender as a whole. I do know quite a lot about this, they don't use the porn addiction argument. It's almost exclusively right wingers wingers that I've seen make the porn addiction argument.
True up until recently. There's a recent trend of leftist adults getting mad at artists who cater to relatively normal heterosexual men, and they attack by siccing minors on them. That crowd uses it as well, probably because most everyone they're going after have social media accounts consisting entirely of porn.
it turned out the "kid" is 18. Doesn't change that most of the Redditors thought he was (significantly) underage and were still upset he couldn't play their homo fetish game, but it is worth mentioning.
I'm guessing OP got sucked into some kind of concerning prog shit as a teen, and this game is the first concrete thing his parents have had some measure of control over. He certainly comes off like a Discord addict.
Either that or it's fake. Libs have been making up stories about their Christian parents being radicalized by Fox News for longer than most of that sub has been alive. It's part of their mythology at this point.
You know the whole bit about "Women have to turn characters into themselves?" Well, HQ is already that character, on account of being BPD on legs.
I was gonna bring this up. You don't get to keep your horny self-insert in a corporate product this long if you're not owned, somehow.
You ever notice that when somebody uses a supernatural being to refer to trannies, they call them demons or skinwalkers?
You're right to recognize TNG's Trill as a tranny allegory, whether or not it was intentional. That one was a body-snatching monster. It wore people like a skinsuit, and discarded them when it was done. It was unable to understand why actual humans were repulsed by it.
That's closer to what a tranny is. They're not just "somebody who once lived as the opposite sex." If that's all it was, you wouldn't find them nearly as disturbing. There's something more to them than that. They're more of a suicidal self-rejection. They cope with it by inventing a new identity, rejecting the old one completely, to the point where they mutilate their own bodies and erase their past self.
That's why they say "Mike was always Michelle, she just didn't know it yet," not "Mike became Michelle." That's why they kill themselves once the delusion breaks. That self-hatred, and the body-snatching by the delusional identity, believing itself to be the "true" identity, is what transgenderism actually is.
DS9's Trill are the complete opposite of TNG's Trill, so they're a rejection of what transgenderism actually is. DS9's Trill don't erase the previous life. The current life doesn't become a previous one either. There's never a moment where Jadzia says "Actually, Kurzon was always Jadzia." Kurzon was a whole person who lived a full life. Jadzia was a whole person (though "full life", maybe not). Dax is a non-sapient mechanism to scientifically justify past lives.
In order for trannies to be represented by DS9's Trill, they'd have to accept that their previous selves were complete and worthwhile people, which they can't do. It would require they face themselves. Most of them can't even do that in a literal sense; they get agitated by mirrors. If they were capable of that, they wouldn't be trannies in the first place. It's acceptance, not denial. They're complete opposites.
And you might say that it's supposed to be transgender allegory, if not a very good one, but they're so far removed from each other that I just don't see it. I find it far more likely that the Trill were just meant to be a sci-fi take on reincarnation, and trend-chasing parasites (Ira Steven Behr) latched onto it twenty years later.
You have opened a two-gallon can of worms, I hope you know. The only reason I don't have a blog is because I'm too inconsistent.
I have the relatively unpopular opinion of not liking Picard S3 or SNW. They're not as overtly political, and sometimes even countersignal the left, but they're still sloppily-written and acted by overgrown theater kids playing themselves, instead of career men and military officers.
Of course I get it. Picard S3 and SNW aren't nearly as overtly political, and coming from the "Make the Empire Great Again" era of NuTrek, it's a breath of fresh air. The show isn't screaming about how much it hates me. But I'm gonna largely ignore that here, because it's a subject all its own.
That said, Picard S3 might be art of a kind, even if it's not especially good as a piece of entertainment. It's just hard to parse, and I haven't spent a lot of time with it. The problem is, it's so sloppy that it's frustrating to follow. I don't know what's intentional and not, or what's entertainment, commentary, or reflection, because I have to turn my brain off to avoid getting frustrated with the writing.
There's a moment in Picard S3 that poetically illustrates Picard's writing as a whole. They end the Grody Bitch Changling arc by flushing her, and her subplot, out an airlock. As soon as she's out, the show becomes something entirely different. Now it's a Borg episode, except somewhere along the way, it completely forgot that one of the last season's shizophrenic subplots was that the chubby girl became the Borg to save them with love, or something.
Granted, chubby girl Borg was a fucking stupid subplot and we'd do our best to forget it ever happened, but making the Borg the secret antagonists of the very next season only draws attention to it.
I can point to that moment as one of the most blatant examples of the show possibly rising above its station, but it's all over. For instance, Picard and Riker play big roles as sad, frustrated old men. They're then given an opportunity to rise to the challenge one more time, as their adult children all flounder, having been raised under their substandard care, into a world they bungled.
How much of that is the plot, and how much of that is just Stewart and Frakes being sad old men? Is there some subconscious recognition of their failures? Is that why it abandoned its shitty political messaging? If so, how the hell is the actual plot, the connective tissue, so dogshit? You don't have that kind of self-awareness, and then think the shit with the red door is clever.
As entertainment, I don't have a lot to say about it. Watch Q Who, Tapestry, Best of Both Worlds, and Family instead. As potentially unintentional commentary, it might be the best finale to NuTrek (even if SNW and STD aren't over yet), if you can possibly make sense of it. I'm sure there's something of value in there, I'm just not equipped or motivated to dig it up.
In the not-Mirror Universe arc they did, evil Seven married a short dude and forced him to be her secretary, which is probably the most in-character thing Seven did in all of Picard.
That's a civilian container ship, and only the Navy could be incompetent enough to build a hackable ship.
