"Willfully ignorant"...

There's your problem. You don't recognize the PRIVILEGE you have, being the intelligence you are. 2/3s of IQs are between 85 and 115, one standard deviation each way. I'd say almost ALL of the people here on Lemmy have IQs in the teens. Maybe you don't grasp the VAST CHASM between 115 and 85.

IQs fall on a bell curve. 100 is average. It will always be average, because it's adjusted to be average. 70 and below is intellectually disabled, and 79 and lower is borderline intellectually disabled. Not because they're "willfully ignorant." Because that's the limit of their ability.

Someone with a lower IQ isn't REJECTING your presentations of fact and logic, or the witty sarcasm of progressive late-night hosts. They physically CAN'T UNDERSTAND THEM.

Try teaching a special needs class and tell me about "willful ignorance". Or just fill a classroom with failing students and teach them something political.

Maybe you think they won't be trying hard enough? Maybe you think they're just lazy?

That sounds a lot like conservatives talking about poor people.

You need stupid people to win an election. What can I say? That's my premise.

Well when you don't want to play the "getting elected" game, don't be surprised when you don't "get elected"

Democratic primaries? How much national popularity did that take?

Lol, ok, you win, I give up completely. Your logic, I can't compete. She was the Beyonce of 2016.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

You keep using that word.

I do not think it means what you think it means.

She was far from popular, in 2016. How old were you 2016? Because research may not be painting you a good picture.

And if you were an adult, perhaps you were isolated? I don't know the explanation. But you are quite wrong. She has never been popular with the majority.

Hillary? Popular? Did you just pop into this timeline from another reality?

This is a fine idea

Voters? How about the Democratic party? You're telling me there isn't a compelling candidate in the entire fucking United States of America?

Damn it.

And I would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for you meddling adults. I gonna go eat my Kraft mac & cheese.

Such a wide open door to walk through, and our broken incestuous Democrat party couldn't get their shit together enough to run a candidate who can talk.

DON'T BLAME THE VOTERS.

If it's cheap to get stars, I'm definitely having Dolph Lundgren at my next birthday party. Dude doesn't have to do anything, just hang out.

I have made a reply with each Captain's name. This is not a popularity contest. This is a Leadership contest. Who is/was the best captain?

Upvote your choice(s). Comment on your choices if you like, explaining your rational... or don't comment if you don't like.

PLEASE, do not comment negatively on any captain. Let the love flow for these captains. Positivity please.

Lastly, if you know a captain I missed and you want to add them, feel free! There are a lot I didn't include because I just tried to hit the major franchises, but there are certainly some worth mentioning.

P.S. I'm not a student of Trek or even that smart, just a fan trying something, so if I screw it up please forgive.

Anybody got any thoughts? I'm planning a watch of the entire series and a deep dive into the offshoots.

EDIT: This one is not the original producer's page, but it's laid out a lot more easy to follow. Moves from 1 through to the end.

The 60s and 70s (for me) had no awareness of my problems. Only now am I discovering that I did what I could, but I wasn't equipped to deal with people well.

It's too late for me, but I'm glad kids today have more resources, although the problems are just as hard to navigate.

God bless you all.

Tell me why I'm wrong, and if not, repudiate this maudlin, caricatured, two-dimensional, simplistic, cliched, sappy, melodramatic, piece of cinematic legend.

Only useful against technology really, and that seems so unrealistic. That's where it lost me, the convenience of a creature that can EM machines. So unbelievable.
