People also forget that a white woman kissing a Cuban man on TV also wasn’t exactly cool with alot of people in the 50s. Could technically be considered the first interracial kiss 🤷🏻
My kids only one, I’ll check it out with her when she’s a bit older.
Kind of but, no. Discovery just isn’t for me and I’m not planning on ever watching the rest. Are you saying that it gets better after season 2?
Picard got a new show runner after season 2. So it’s less the show getting it’s footing and more hiring better writers.
Lower Decks and SNW I’ve liked from the start.
Unless you’re looking at Nu Trek as a whole, then I guess you’re right.
Woke didn’t evolve, it was highjacked and purposely used incorrectly to mock.
Woke is an adjective derived from African-American Vernacular meaning “alert to racial prejudice and discrimination”. Woke has been used this way for decades and anyone using it differently is using it incorrectly.
So gay characters should only be in media to tell stories about gay people problems? Is that how you think the real world works, like a gay person never accomplished anything other than progressing the gay agenda. Why can’t there just be a story of a man who does a thing and then goes home to his husband. You know, like how real life works lol.
I think it’s starting to turn around.
Discovery - I stopped watching after season 2 cause I thought it was so bad
Picard - season 1-2 terrible. Season 3 pretty good
Lower Decks - all good
Strange New worlds - only watched S1, not my favorite but will definitely watch S2
Prodigy - never saw it so IDK
I think Discovery and Picard really ruined the reputation of modern Star Trek. Overall I think it’s at worst it’s average.
As a rather left leaning Person I have no problem with TOS beeing “woke” in general.
The way how “woke” ideas are implemented just feels like pandering to the audience. Black, Asian and female characters… At least they got rid of number one after the pilot, no need to pander to the female audience with two women on the bridge crew.

Both terms are clearly defined and people choose to use them wrong, like you did with your examples.
People where always upset with the level of “wokeness” in Star Trek. The difference being that less where aware of it and if you wanted to complain you had to physically write a letter, go down to the post office, buy some stamps, and mail it in. Today you can just tweet some bullshit from your couch.
uxury apartments in premium locations is the first thing I would think of too if I were a developer, but their target buyers don’t sound like the sort of people who currently suffer from the housing crisis.
It’ll have a domino effect, more apartments in Manhattan means less people in Brooklyn, Queens, etc. meaning prices go down in the latter boroughs. I live in Jersey City across the Hudson from Manhattan and a large part of the residents here are just people who can’t afford to live in Manhattan.
are many people going to want to live in expensive converted office spaces if they don’t work near there any longer?
Yes, I used to live in a converted office building in Newark NJ (not far from Manhattan) and really loved it. And yes people will always want to live in NYC and especially Manhattan. Many people, myself included simply prefer living in cities. I’ve also looked for apartments in Manhattan and it’s completely different than anywhere else.
What matters at the end of the day is wether you truly care for each other and wether you’re both happy. There’s a possibility that it would work out and a possibility that it wouldn’t. Your romantic partner doesn’t necessarily need to meet all your needs, intellectualy or otherwise.
Seeing as you don’t have any relationship experience I say go for it. There’s no harm in taking someone on a date. In fact that’s the point of going on dates, to know people better so you can decide if you want to pursue a relationship.
Probably not. Does it bother you now, would you be embarrassed by her because of it? If yes, then definitely don’t.
What’s your question exactly?
I disagree, it’s about money. Or more accurately perception, the next generation traditionally had it better than the one before until now. The current generation is unable to provide their children a better life than they had so having children is less appealing.
Because a huge chunk of people could have salary raises and homes and be upper class and still now want to have kids.
Or the disappearance of this class has led to lower birth rates.
Won’t the lack of a work force also give workers better barging power for pay increase and thus the ability to support their elders?
Can you expand on why society would collapse? Like what are the specific problems that would lead to collapse?
I didn’t say it’s political
and the whole thing gets political.
Is it political or not chief lol?
I think you’re missing one important thing about the NHL and Pro sports in general, it’s never been about the game. It’s entertainment to make money, that’s all it’s ever been. There is no “purity” or “for the love of the gave” just business.
In reality it was a gradual thing that kind of crept up over time. I said technically earlier because Desi Arnaz is “Technically” white, idk who decides where these lines are drawn, it’s definitely not me lol. William Shatner(cause that’s how he rolls I guess) also kissed actress France Nuyen (half white/half Chinese) on TV, which could also be considered first.
The kiss between Shatner and Nichols is the first kiss between a white and black person on TV. Which if you’re a racist would probably upset you the most so it gets mentioned as the first I guess.
