Most carpenters I've ever known were more boobs men

Rotated it and all I could see was this ....

Fascism is on the match. The problem is not that they are on the move. The problem is that many of us just join the march but caring about what we are doing ... or not doing.

And no I'm not calling for revolution.... I'm just calling out everyone that participates in corporate social media and wonder why they are encouraging the spreading of lies and propaganda

I always love the debate about fantasizing about anyone going to colonize Mars ..... we're having a hard time sustaining life here.

I agree but the problem is that there is a huge percentage of the population that use this dumb site as a way to collect and gather all their information about the world. The problem is not so much that fb changed, the problem is that so many people rely on it.

It had everything to do with human greed.

As long as there is the suggestion or possibility, no matter how remote that anyone of us can become enormously wealthy, we won't want to change the system.

Thanks to people like you and everyone at c/tenforward for giving me the motivation and enthusiasm to get back into Star Trek. It's people like yourself and especially @[email protected] that really got me back into Star Trek. @[email protected] was probably the first person I chatted with on Lemmy when I first got on this social media platform and he has always guided me to the right people and places which led me here to c/tenforward.

I watched Star Trek many times over the years but it was always a lonely experience. I've never known a group of people in real life in my circle of friends who enjoyed Star Trek. My wife is partial to it and only enjoys watching The Original Series and dismisses all the others. It's fun to relive and rewatch these episodes because many of them are truly wonderful writing and acting. This episode of DS9 was particularly outstanding. I was thrown for a complete loop when everything blasted back to 1950 and again caught off guard when they introduced all the characters. I thought at first it was weird that they brought in new actors but then realized who they all were. The intro scene with the sidewalk paper boy had me totally confused, I knew the voice, I knew the character but didn't realize until later who it was. The same for all the other alien characters. It was also thrilling to see Marc Alaimo and Jeffrey Combs - I really loved hating those two and its part of what makes the series so memorable. The only character I really missed in this episode was Garak (Andrew Robinson).

It is a really enjoyable show and it's made even more fun because I'm able to share the experience with people like yourself and this online community at c/tenforward

I don't know if I'll live long (I hope I do) .... but I'm definitely prospering.

Trust me the beginning is not easy ... I think I started and stopped watching DS9 about five or six times over the years. I started it again last summer and the first season is a bit of slog, second season felt a lot better and by three and four, I was looking forward to it all. Once you get past those first few episodes, there are some definite jewels to see and you get to enjoy all the major cast members and characters that are part of the show. At times, the good guys become the bad and even the bad guys become the good and sometimes you can't tell which makes you realize that this is what life and society is all about. You get to love the protagonists and you even grow to enjoy and appreciate the antagonists because there is so much great writing and acting in the series.

Reading up on the episode and learning about the writers and actors as I keep watching the series.

This documentary you mentioned will be added to my list to watch now ... unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be readily available in Canada. I'll have to find other ways or sources to be able to watch it.

Shows like this are special, not because we get to watch them ... but the way we share them with others and get to know that there are many people out in the world who share the same views and ideas.

Seeing Jake as a fast talking cool cat with a pencil moustache and slick hair in the 1950s was one of many highlights
