Seriously, Starfleet, invent a fucking lightswitch. Just because it is dark outside in space doesn't mean it should also be so inside the ship.

[(Anonymous)]

Fully agreed.

I also feel like older bridge designs actually looked like they were places where people could, you know... work. Which is what they are! These are workspaces. They should be at least a little functional.

[starfleetbrat]

Yeah they don't seem very futuristic to me, they feel very... now. In other Treks the ships always looked like they were built in 300 years.

But that screenshot especially the bridge just looks bland and industrial. Also the Captains chair looks uncomfortable as fuck.

[tabaqui]

Gotta agree, that's just UGLY. And it looks incredibly uncomfortable to work at for, you know, HOURS.

[greghousesgf]

I never understood why everything was darker in the reality where Tasha Yar didn't die.

[(Anonymous)]

I assume they're riffing on TOS design, which was more angular than 80s/90s Trek.

[(Anonymous)]

I don't care about the look but I hate that this designs are unusable. Why this stairs are even their?! Where are ramps?
Why there is no seat belts? Why there is nothing to hold on too? This stations are vehicles too. If there is no ambient light maybe there should be lights above stations?
This is all annoying

TBF, hetshippers know that their POV is the default, while M/M and F/F shippers have been vilified for a pretty hefty chunk of fannish history for 'dirtying' platonic same-sex friendships with their icky slash cooties. So it's not exactly a surprise that hetshippers wouldn't feel the need to get hyper-defensive when "will they/won't they" or "when will they hook up" is the default lens through which every single main male/female character dynamic is viewed and it's the platonic "can't they just be friends" perspective that's the outlier.

Not defending the "homophobia"-wolf-criers, I totally feel you there and wish more of fandom was into gen or friendship stuff. Just explaining why one side might feel a teensy bit more self-protective than the other.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess I just feel like this isn't a huge problem? The emphasis on romance > friendship isn't that big of a deal outside of the very specific confines of transformative media fandom, where shipping is a huge deal that's constitutive to the existence of fandom and fic. IDK.

[(Anonymous)]

Okay. I can buy that you might not be homophobic. My problem here is that you're complaining about something it's entirely within your power to avoid. You're essentially going into somebody's living room and then complaining about being in that living room while also moaning that the other people there - who want to be there - are getting annoyed with you.

Also, het fans are coming from a whole different world where their shipping preferences are mainstream and represented near enough ubiquitously in media. M/m and f/f pairings are not, and fic has both historically and currently been used as a way to redress that balance. I'm not surprised those fans are more inclined to get annoyed with you.

strictly speaking utopias do not preclude autocracies or theocracies or monarchies (or any combination). It wouldn't be my version of it a utopia, but utopia philosophically is just a description of the political circumstances, i.e. the material conditions of all citizens are perfect or desirable, not the political structure.

wakanda is better than everywhere else in the mcu, they don't seem to have many if any internal conflicts, literally by design. it's unsurprising that people talk about it like it's perfect, considering both the rest of the MCU and like...reality.

If people trying to connect with you over a shared interest is so troublesome, just put a note on your profile or whatever that says "please don't ask me for recs". Problem solved.

Seriously, it's not that deep. If I like an author's fic I check out their bookmarks and blogs for reclist because we clearly vibe on a creative and/or fannish level and I trust that I'll probably vibe with their reading tastes too.

Unless you really think it's "audacity" that someone might want to read fic by someone other than you, in which case... wow.

I know some people who liked Wulin Heroes but I thought it was really, really terrible. Li Hongyi was decent enough but he could not make up for some terrible acting from others or the dragging, repetitive plot. I haven't heard anything that makes it sound like it should affect his career though.

Good YouTube Comments

[(Anonymous)]

Lately I've been having some good luck in finding YouTube comments that make me grin and chips away at my jadedness toward internet comment section. Here's the newest example (for this Jacksfilms video: https://youtu.be/fBw5gbDugiY ).

"This is - of course - just an excuse for Jack to put videos of him being a dog dad, and honestly we love him for it."

Has anyone else found any good comments anywhere lately?
