60 years worth of shows, novels, books, games, and movies. The original series follows the USS enterprise, flagship of the United federation of planets, as it explores new worlds. Most episodes are self-contained, where they face off against some threat or mystery on the planets they visit. The sequel series star trek: the next generation follows a later enterpise from 200 years after the first one, with roughly the same formula for episodes. There’s also Deep Space Nine, centering on a space station near the newly liberated planet Bajor and a newly discovered wormhole to the distant gamma quadrant of the galaxy. This series focuses on many episodic adventures like before, mostly from visitors to the station bringing some curiosity or scheme, but it also has longer plot lines focusing on diplomacy and peace keeping, ultimately leading to the dominion war, a battle for control of the alpha quadrant with the most powerful force in the gamma quadrant, the dominion. Voyager is another sequel, following the star ship voyager after a powerful alien sends it to the unknown delta quadrant, and they have to survive and find a way home so far from everything they know. Enterprise is set well before the original series, and follows the early years of the Federation through it’s first flagship. There’s also discovery and strange new worlds, set shortly before the original series.
lemmy is created by and for techy dorks, star trek is for the same audience. Many of us are also communist or otherwise leftist, and star trek has done more for us than any other media. Major Nerys Kira, after which one of hexbear’s admins is named, was an explicitly violent terrorist who helped liberate her people from a fascist occupation, and she never gets mistreated because of it. Queer content on star trek has not been perfect, but was beter than anywhere else on TV for a long time because they had freedom to explore different ideas about gender and sexuality(when berhman wasn’t breathing down their necks) due to sci-fi having the excuse of being a fictional alien species. THe first inter-racial kiss on tv was from star trek, another point in the shows favor. There’s also a whole episode where a characrer becomes a Marxist, so coolest shit ever made. . I could go on for hours, but the bottom line is that it’s just peak fiction.
bird shit
Show me an emotionally charged video of animals being beaten, and I’m much more likely to want to help, as opposed to only seeing some cold facts on a page about numbers of animals mistreated.
and this is my point. You aren’t critically evaluating the situation, as the same thing happens in each case.
ya and it’s better to consider it than not but it shouldn’t be the most important thing. A lot of people are scared of conflict because they’re too empathetic.
That second part feels unrelated. I know a lot of extreme introverts that need something going to fall asleep.
addendum: they believe things which are almost correct or apparently correct. Heavier objects fall faster is not correct, but it is apparently correct because very light objects fall slower than heavy objects, and this appears to be constant unless you actually check and realize there’s a threshold. There’s no world outside of eurasia and africa is functionally true if you lack the nautical equipment to reach the americas, but factually wrong. You can’t get things too wrong without problems, but there’s a decent amount of leeway.
ok but who is this about? sometimes people get bored alone but I’ve never seen someone dread it like this.

I disagree, 300% more
that’s just a fact, not an opinion
No it doesn’t. Being able to know how my neighbor feels, which is what empathy is, is good for relating to my neighbor, and useful in more emotional situations to avoid hurting them, but in general thinking about the actual outcome of actions is better than gauging other’s emotional response to them.
holistically speaking shooting a Nazi for example is an act of kindness and empathy.
It is not that necessarily. If the person does it for those reasons it is, but if I shoot a nazis because of anger it is not an action of empathy. Empathy is a motivation, it cannot be brought into an action after the fact.
Empathy is just the ability to see how someone else feels. It’s better to take actions based upon their materials outcomes rather than just an imagined emotional response to it. This isn’t even self-centered, using compassion, which is not wanting to hurt others, is good way to make choices. but solely thinking about how others would feel or have felt is not great.
the way we treat being egotistical as the worst personality trait is classist. Empathy is also the worst emotion to make decisions using.
this is just a fact. Hemiptera is often referred to as true bugs
If they couldn’t take part in hook up culture, would they be doing that?
yes, and as a result they aren’t avoiding the labor which you suggest wouldn’t be occurring anyway because they don’t have time for a relationship. Even if you were right it’s an unsatisfactory analysis of hook up culture because men also take part in, as well as other genders. If your response is just that they enjoy sex, then I don’t see how that reason doesn’t apply just as strongly to the women.
