Am I really being shamed for making an obvious joke comment. Like fr this topic is niche I’m not gonna pay to read an article so I can more accurately shitpost on the internet.

I would like to take the time to point out that I am not an American, am a socialist and am quite astounded by the meltdown this throwaway garbage comment of mine caused 😂

Ahahahahaha yeah sorry man next time I promise I’ll read the article and not make a joke comment so that carmilla of styria wins 😭😭

Why dog no shakey when in water?

So assuming you’re an American. I hate to break it to you but your government has done way worse stuff than elect an orange guy. I seriously doubt everything done holds up to the slightest scrutiny to your moral and ethical code. The only difference is now you are aware of it. If it was me I would ask myself if I felt guilty for the work I had done already. If I did I would stop if not I wouldn’t.

Nope you are nitpicking and biased bye bye

Yeah sitting down and discussing all viewpoints before coming to consensus is clearly beneath Starfleet. They should just automatically know the right thing to do (which is obvs what I think is right) and clearly a interplanetary civilisation wouldn’t have any sort of conflict of interest/opinion.

Obviously the guy suing should understand data is clearly a person despite being a new ‘unique’ form of life in the universe that they have never interacted with before. Like come on are you telling me everyone in the federation hasn’t watched tng and become emotionally attached to the characters like I have.

You literally said in a comment that you became vegan today in response to this post. I mean I’m all for it good on you but come on now let’s not pretend what you’re doing isn’t something worth taking the piss out of.

He didn’t announce them. They came to us from God. They are here to help us attain a heavenly life.

I’ve read your comment and decide it is shit, you should feel bad and go touch some grass no life loser who doesn’t get any pussy

If you’re a non-vegan in the vegan community please remember how important it is to talk about the US election

I think it’s people making that content not computers

Yeah they encountered something new in the universe and they had to decide on what to do. They decided to do the moral thing for moral reasons. Starfleet isn’t a utopia but it’s utopic because of instances like this where the right thing is done for the right reasons.

I fervently disagree. I think you can view it in a very optimistic and utopic way.

When confronted with his friend’s sentience and individuality being questioned, Captain Picard chose to debate on the basis of data being a person and deserving rights. Sure you could’ve just said that data was a person because Starfleet accepted him. But does that specifically extend to all androids or beings in similar circumstances? I think it’s a good character moment for Picard that he chooses to argue on the basis that star fleet is better than stripping away someone’s agency. And he wins too. Ultimately the federation comes to agree with that view point. Thats why it is a utopic society. Because when faced with a moral dilemma they didn’t simply choose “technically legally correct” they chose “morally right”.

Idk what this means but yeh

I feel like the term echo chamber gets thrown around a lot. Imo an echo chamber has to be highly specific. I wouldn’t classify every monolingual person as trapped in an echo chamber for example. I would also argue against to idea of having to be weary of creating your own echo chamber online. Use social media how you like, the solution to echo chambers is going outside and touching grass not forcing yourself to interact with every community on the internet.
