it does. you started with words "Can it just be nature?" and the answer is no, it can't, because it does not exist.

"something is edited to have nicer colors" and "someting is made up" are two wildly different statements...

Never mind the fact that space images are very rarely unedited and usually don’t show the colours you’d see with your own eyes

it is ai slop

Many people don’t have the option

well many do and they will buy cheap shit anyway. and i am not talking about boots, i am talking about people who have a dog, which is clearly non-essential expense, and they buy him shitty toy from temu. is that rubber toxic? who knows, who cares, look how cheap it is!

yeah, it is like blaming china for a pollution, when that pollution is externality of cheap shit we buy from them. it is our pollution in the end.

that isn't an argument for blaming the end consumer, because that problem is not going to be solved from the bottom, but it is also childish to pretend like we, the consumers, are not complicit.

he wasn't a democrat. he isn't a republican. he doesn't have an ideology. he doesn't really care about managing public affairs.

he is in it for money (and narcissistic revenge against obama for laughing at him). he will happily shout right or left talking points as long as he believes they will get him 51% of votes in the end.

yeah, but "let them make crime, they need to eat" is just too much (which makes sense knowing it is a satire).

anyway that research sounds interesting, i am going to look at it, thank you.

well for me there was. i am not an american and i don't know every us politician by name. so if this was real politician, my questions would be 1) is this real? 2) ok, being so dumb that you can't switch accounts is one thing, but did he really believe that some black democratic lesbian, or any other democrat, would saw this and switch to the other side because of his argument? that would made him truly retarded.

so for anyone as confused as i was - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kimble

Jack Kimble, also known by his Twitter username @RepJackKimble, is a fictional and satirical character active on the social media websites Twitter and Bluesky. Presented as a Republican member of the United States House of Representatives, his character has also been used as a novelty candidate. Several of the account's posts have gone viral and mistakenly thought to have been posted by a legitimate American politician.

this is how i see it. do you know how when the orville came out, everyone was "hey, new star trek!"?

now imagine discovery gets the same treatment as orville. you change the names, united federation of planets become interstellar union, warp drive becomes super-duper-engine, you change the shape of the ships little bit.

how many people would look at that and say "hey, new star trek!"? i think not that many. it would be c-grade show on netflix no one would give a fuck about and wouldn't be picked up for second season.

it is one thing if you do some minor stuff that may not be completely in line with the canon, and it is another if you are parasite who just hijacks the name of the franchise. and that's what discovery and abram's movies are.
