What is this scene? I never watched Star Trek, but this image looks so funny out of context, but what's the scene about? I don't mind spoilers since it's so old anyways. I really want to watch Star Trek but not sure if it's really the type of stuff I'd like to watch. I mean, the only space themed shows/movies that I liked are: The Martian, Interstellar, The Expanse, and For All Mankind. Is this similar, or is it just gonna be too outdated for my liking? (I'm 19-22 years old)

If your comment (the top-level one) was supposed to be sarcasm, you need a /s tag because there are people actually being serious saying that "it's a conspiracy, couldn't be any other possible explanation" stuff.

But also, the "hostage" thing is not entirely false, just very exaggerated. They only take your family "hostage" if you are like a leader of a protest or something. But I doubt they care if you are just some forum user that has no followers and "protesting" online. They got too many dissidents within their jurisdiction to care about those abroad.

Well I, as a former citizen of China, do "speak out" against CCP as in family discussions, in online forums, and sometimes with classmates in school, but I don't "speak out" as in actually participate in protests. Demonstrations just isn't my thing. Protesting against CCP gets you labeled a "race traitor". I mean honestly, with all the racial problems in the US, and having to deal with my abusive family, I really don't have to energy care about CCP anymore. It's dead to me. I view China just like how an anti-fascist German view Nazi Germany. There's no point of protests. It's beyond anything a protest can fix. Like... why do I even care, it isn't even my country anymore.

Edit: Also, it isn't a conspiracy that ethnic Chinese (I'm gonna use the term "ethnic Chinese" because this applies regardless of citizenship status) people don't "speak out". People just value "Social Harmony" more than being correct. Like if you live abroad, why care about what happens back in China? Most ethnic Chinese people who lives abroad don't really feel welcome in their new country, so why be against your former country if you aren't even sure if you are actually safe in your new one? You don't end up in a situation where you have no safe harbor in the world. Ethnic Chinese people living abroad believe China will accept them again in-case their living situation abroad goes south, so they don't want to get on the bad side of the Chinese government. Like what happened with the Chinese Exclusion act in the US more than 100 years ago, and also the Japanese Internment Camps. Maybe you disagree with the thought process, but that is what most ethnic Chinese people think.

Cars don't rip you apart molecularly, unless you get into a crash. A teleporter will rip you apart every time. This isn't a discussion of the "safety" of teleporters, it's a discussion of what consciousness is.

Technically, everyone including homeless people is also supposed to be entitled to the same rights.

From an excerpt of Article 25 of the UN Declaration of Human Rights:

1. Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.

I don't think many countries care what a piece of paper says.

Firefox. I couldn't imagine using the internet without it.

I want to get one but unfortunately due to the nature of the phone, there is no resistance to water submersion which is a dealbreaker for me. I want my phones to be at least IP67 which I don't think is possible while also being repairable.

Lol just open up the sub and make it Approve-Only for posts, and just approve 1 post an hour, effectively making it a blackout. If admins complain, just say there are no effective moderation tools since API access is paywalled.

Normally I wouldn't oppose gun control, but with the rising threat of fascism, is it really that wise to be talking about gun control? Maybe Voting Rights Act and Reproductive Rights first? "Gun Control" just gives republicans more ammunition for disinformation campaigns. Don't need another "Beto" right now.

Hello from the future! Reddit is no more!

Um... your post duplicated 4 times lol 😆
