RememberTheApollo_ , to Work Reform in "Morbidly Wealthy": The world’s five richest men have more than doubled their fortunes from $405b to $869b since 2020—at a rate of $14m/hr—while nearly five billion people have been made poorer

And we’re not monkeys. What an awful analogy considering monkeys have no concept of hoarding wealth, much less any other facets of human society that drives wealth acquisition at the expense of others.

“Rigged” is human nature. There’s always people wanting to climb to the top of the heap and hoard anything of value and amass power. At no point in human civilization has this not been true. Kings, religions, merchants, even the criminal class. They all have people trying to place themselves in control to reap the money and rewards of others’ work.

You have to “un” rig the system with controls to prevent obscene collection of wealth and power; and even then it’s a continuous, non-stop battle to prevent the rich and powerful, and their sycophants and supporters, from constantly trying to find workarounds and/or undermine the system keeping them from their economic gluttony.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Star Trek in A touching quote from Nimoy's "I am Spock" book (1995)

Nope. I’m subscribed out. Unless it can be found on the high seas, I’ll be giving this one a pass.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Star Trek in A touching quote from Nimoy's "I am Spock" book (1995)

Aww, went looking for it and I couldn’t find the full episode. If anyone else wants to know, it’s S02:E06 Columbo: A Snitch in Crime if you want to see highlights or look for the episode.

He wasn’t always Spock to me.

I saw him in tv shows like “In Search Of…” and other movies like “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”. I know I saw a Western with him in it, but can’t remember which one.

Yeah, Spock is his most famous role by far, and despite what anyone thinks of the new Trek movies, I really loved his part in them. (IMO Quinto does a great Spock. No, it’s not Nimoy, but it’s a really good performance.)

RememberTheApollo_ , to Work Reform in Grindr loses nearly half its staff to strict return-to-work rule

Wonder which executive got annoyed that they went into the office, they noticed no one else was suffering in-office with them and this is the outcome.

The one that gets the bonus.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Ask Science in What are some popular sci-fi gadgets that are actually possible to construct in theory?

I don’t know that mining them is the difficult part. Getting the materials back and/or refined in space is gonna be harder.
