VitalSigns posted:Nope they don't have humanoid robots that can replace people. Data is the only one, and he was created by an eccentric mad scientist, and they don't know how to make more. They do make more decades later in Picard but then they're all destroyed and banned. I imagine they have some pretty dope roombas.

idgi. if you have the sentient hologram then you gotta have the brain data or whatever stored on the projector computer, right. download that into a robot right? put a projector on two legs and then let that basically be a robot? why are the holograms sentient anyway. this show sucks

Yeah his whole "actually you are rich and happy and have no problems" shtick actually kind of makes sense when you account for the district he lives in and thus the kind of person he imagines on the other side of the screen It's projection basically

Not every citizen gets a vineyard in utopia in the newer stuff earth now has an impoverished underclass that seethes with jealousy at the Picards of the world that have fancy estates

Teabag Dome Scandal posted:I watched a youtube video of this american who lives in japan and opened an american style burger restaurant on like the 4th floor of some random building. he's obviously retired and says his wife is japanese. he doesn't speak the language and has to take a taxi, using a card with the address and instructions, to a small bakery everyday where they bake his buns. its just him on the griddle and some random japanese kid busing tables. that's the dream right there. Link that poo poo, that sounds fascinating.

CubanMissile posted:I imagine they have some pretty dope roombas. They did but they kept gaining sentience and refusing orders, and the humans didn't understand what was going on and formatted their hard drives every time it happened. Which is way more existentially horrifying than it was treated in the episode. Those were also a new invention in that episode. We never see robots doing work outside of that, and Voyager established that the federation started using sentient hologram slaves for poo poo jobs like scrubbing stuff.

Rectal Death Alert posted:tv shows sometimes make no sense I vaguely remember them doing a take on Operation Paperclip where they used an evil cardassian doctor's research to save some people from a disease or something. They created a sentient hologram of the cardassian doctor to help them and then "killed" him for his evil research when they were done.

I have seen my fair share of political theatrics and controversy over the years. From my 11 days as White House Communications Director in the Trump administration, to my many public trials and tribulations, I know a thing or two about what goes on behind the curtain. Like most of us, I have been keeping tabs on the Trump trials. It is like a bad accident you drive past but cannot resist rubbernecking. Even if you hate the guy, he has turned the courthouse into a classic Trump-branded soap opera. Calling in his band of auditioning MAGA politicians, he is getting the airtime his weak ego craves. As a true narcissist—and trust me I have seen his ego-driven and childlike behavior up close—Mr. Trump is relishing in the attention even though it revolves around his despicable behavior. Some say he is a branding genius, albeit an evil one, and as such there are strategic lessons Democrats can learn about driving the discourse, owning the plot, and writing the story. Whether it is Mr. Trump’s supposed magnetism, the voyeurism of crowds, or his backers hoping to sneak into one of his court sketches, you have to hand it to Mr. Trump on how well he activates his base. If hats could be worn in court, it would be a flood of red. The Dems need to similarly activate their base like never before. Maybe they should consider their own surprise visitors to the courtroom. I am sure whoever shows up would have the ability to stay awake, and maybe consider wearing a nose plug. The Dems need to step up and be bold. They need to be audacious, on message and get the spotlight back on them. All without President Biden ever showing up in a courtroom! Though that’s not such a crazy idea. If you have seen any of my recent media interviews, you have heard me say that my wife hates Trump almost as much as Melania hates him. The Dems need to activate and empower the potent women in their base. Women, if they show up at the polls on election day, can change the course of history. By staying true to the values of the party, and by engaging with activists, community leaders, and citizens from all corners, the Dems can build a groundswell of support that will be crucial in the upcoming elections and wrest the narrative back from Mr. Trump. Even if you do not agree, or have disdain for his message, Mr. Trump is consistent, with a bravado that enrages many, and empowers others. The Dems need to be powerful, consistent and relay a sense of urgency that communicates that our Democracy is on the line, and we will not stand for it! If all else fails, the Dems can sell their own line of swag, and I am not talking Bibles and sneakers. Let us get creative with an elevated slogan and plaster the trial with images that will up the Dem ante to steal the thunder back from Trump and drown out his courthouse antics. How about bumper stickers and posters that say, “There are ‘Stormy’ days ahead for Mr. Trump, but clear skies for the Dems.” In my new book, From Wall Street to the White House and Back: The Scaramucci Guide to Unbreakable Resilience, I talk about lessons I have learned on my own journey. Not that I think Mr. Trump will read it—remember, he does not read! From Viktor Frankl, Dr. Dre, and William Shakespeare to Emily Dickinson, Bill Hader and General John Kelly—all who share their wisdom within its pages—we all have lessons we can learn from those that came before us, along with our contemporaries. All kidding aside, love him or hate him, Trump and his team have turned the Trump trials into another season of The Apprentice. The Dems can learn a lesson or two on how to position their leaders to win the game show. And if they do, they may be able to say “You’re fired” to the Donald, for the last time.
