Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•35 Years Ago, Star Trek Retroactively Created New Canon, And No One NoticedEnglish
0·16 days agoI guess I’m not sure what the title is getting at.
The article is about the first episode featuring the Cardassians and how they mention the Cardassian war that took place directly before the series currently in progress.
Honestly the point of the article seems to be that changing canon is secondary to telling a really compelling sci-fi allegory story.
A great way to not have to worry a lot about canon is to move far into the future or to go farther into the past.
I don’t really care if they introduce a new thing that wasn’t mentioned before, I get more grouchy about them introducing stuff that directly contradicts really important stuff established in the show. Like “turns out the paradise on earth was bullshit all along” for instance.

You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK what legal rights you have in encounters with ICEEnglish
621·17 days agoRemember kids, murder is against the law. So, if ICE tries to murder you like they did those 2 other people just say, “thats illegal”.
They will have no choice but to stop murdering you.
That’s what I think makes Star Trek unique. There are tons of other space laser shows, and lots of other moralistic scifi. What I like about Trek is that unless they are possessed by aliens, the crew of XYZ Starship are all incredibly competent at their jobs. And when they start acting stupid, 6 other crew members are immediately on it to pick up the slack.
The dream of Star Trek is working at a job where everyone you work with is ultra-qualified and hardworking. At least to me.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the hardest addiction you've tried to break or are trying to break?English
2·2 months agoI don’t think they are supposed to taste bad. They are just an alternative to nicotine gum. You can get them at pharmacies. I don’t like the gum because it’s bright yellow and leaves little stains in my teeth so I got the lozenges this time instead.
They do taste absolutely terrible though. And yeah, cigarettes smell awful but for whatever reason, I like the taste of them. I quit those a long time ago specifically for the bad smell though.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the hardest addiction you've tried to break or are trying to break?English
7·2 months agoJust quit nicotine again for the 3rd total time. Sucks a lot. And I feel like the nicotine pouches are significantly more addictive than cigarettes or tobacco ever were.
My secret this time was nicotine lozenges. They taste so terrible that it even overcame the positive association I have with nicotine. Good luck out there!
