What is this scene? I never watched Star Trek, but this image looks so funny out of context, but what’s the scene about? I don’t mind spoilers since it’s so old anyways. I really want to watch Star Trek but not sure if it’s really the type of stuff I’d like to watch. I mean, the only space themed shows/movies that I liked are: The Martian, Interstellar, The Expanse, and For All Mankind. Is this similar, or is it just gonna be too outdated for my liking? (I’m 19-22 years old)

If your comment (the top-level one) was supposed to be sarcasm, you need a /s tag because there are people actually being serious saying that “it’s a conspiracy, couldn’t be any other possible explanation” stuff.

But also, the “hostage” thing is not entirely false, just very exaggerated. They only take your family “hostage” if you are like a leader of a protest or something. But I doubt they care if you are just some forum user that has no followers and “protesting” online. They got too many dissidents within their jurisdiction to care about those abroad.

Well I, as a former citizen of China, do “speak out” against CCP as in family discussions, in online forums, and sometimes with classmates in school, but I don’t “speak out” as in actually participate in protests. Demonstrations just isn’t my thing. Protesting against CCP gets you labeled a “race traitor”. I mean honestly, with all the racial problems in the US, and having to deal with my abusive family, I really don’t have to energy care about CCP anymore. It’s dead to me. I view China just like how an anti-fascist German view Nazi Germany. There’s no point of protests. It’s beyond anything a protest can fix. Like… why do I even care, it isn’t even my country anymore.

Edit: Also, it isn’t a conspiracy that ethnic Chinese (I’m gonna use the term “ethnic Chinese” because this applies regardless of citizenship status) people don’t “speak out”. People just value “Social Harmony” more than being correct. Like if you live abroad, why care about what happens back in China? Most ethnic Chinese people who lives abroad don’t really feel welcome in their new country, so why be against your former country if you aren’t even sure if you are actually safe in your new one? You don’t end up in a situation where you have no safe harbor in the world. Ethnic Chinese people living abroad believe China will accept them again in-case their living situation abroad goes south, so they don’t want to get on the bad side of the Chinese government. Like what happened with the Chinese Exclusion act in the US more than 100 years ago, and also the Japanese Internment Camps. Maybe you disagree with the thought process, but that is what most ethnic Chinese people think.

How would that work if they have a toxic family and decided to kill 2 birds with one stone?

I mean if the CCP threatened my family while I’m abroad, I’d just go: “Lol go ahead, idgaf. They’re toxic anyways. Thanks for getting rid of them for me.” 😎

But too bad my toxic family is already here and I had to endure their abuse. 😥

You don’t have to be a tankie to censor things. We can’t have people spreading nazi propaganda or saying racial slurs. You wanna become another platform like Voat?

Very high indeed, you need “grass” to get up there.

Lol I thought you were gonna push someone down the stairs.

No thanks, the plot in wikipedia is horrifying enough to read, I ain’t watching that shit.

Lol there’s only 4 animes I watched: Death Note, Steins;Gate, Mirai Nikki (Future Diary), and Zankyou no Terror (Terror in Resonance). I find most animes boring. In fact, the ones I watched is solely because of the plot, I don’t like the media style of animations, I prefer live-action content (although I understand it’s difficult to find actors and special effects that can portray the story as well as the anime, and there’s budget concerns. Shinigamis would look ridiculous in live-action).

As for cartoons, there’s only 2 that ever watched: Futurama and Rick and Morty (although sometimes I find R&M a bit too “edgy”)

The Americans was boring af. Stopped watching early on.

I already finished Dark, I loved it, although the “You can’t change fate” type of theme is a bit annoying. I watched 12 Monkeys (the TV show, not movie) which is anothet time-travel series and the atmosphere was not as dark (pun intended), and much more “chill” to watch.

The genres I like are: Science-Fiction, Alt-History, Political (but not too “real”)

I liked watching:

The Magicians
The Expanse
The Good Place
For All Mankind
Man in the High Castle
(it was dark, but alt-history isn't really realistic so it wasn't that horrifying to watch)
Travelers
12 Monkeys (TV, not the movie)
Game of Thrones (minus season 8, that doesn't exist for me)
Breaking Bad
Designated Survivor
Kingdom (the Netflix Original that's in Korean)
Fringe

Some movies I liked were:

Terminator 2
Interstellar
The Martian
1917
Dunkirk
Back to the Future 1-3
Star Wars 1-6
12 Angry Men

Mini-series are so rare. It’s either Movie or TV for most video content

How about advocating for better access to mental healthcare instead?

We had Obamacare (Affordable Care Act), then the fucking fascists partially dismantled it. Obamacare barely passed the filibuster, I doubt anything like that could ever pass again in this political climate. And even Obamacare didn’t solve everything, it’s not Universal Healthcare / Medicare for All. Until healthcare issues are fixed, “ban cars” is not a policy I’d support.

We not only have a climate threat, we also have a fascist threat. We can’t fix climate without getting rid of the support for fascism.

The Wire is really not what I’d enjoy watching. I got to the point where the cop and the gang had some confrontation and the cop was intructed by his superior to lie and claim that he “feared for his life”. At that point I just fucking can’t continue watching. Too real for my liking. I want to watch tv for escapism, not to be reminded how shitty real life is.

The people at !fuck_cars@lemmy.ml need to advocate for these people to be banned before advocating for banning cars.

I actually don’t mind banning cars, I just can’t deal with being locked inside the same vehicle as a psychopath/sociopath.
