Zorque , to LinkedinLunatics in A good leader always farts first 💨

Depends on how you define "better".

More polite? Sure. More relatable to a wider audience? Honestly, probably not. Everyone farts. And those who don't are dirty dirty liars.

Zorque , to U.S. News in Whistleblower Josh Dean of Boeing supplier Spirit AeroSystems has died

Mine says "Defining journalism as a strictly capitalist endeavor is self-defeating".

Few people have the money or wherewithal to subscribe to every small town newspaper in the country, much less the world, just so they can read articles you post. And getting bent out of shape at people trying to live their lives as informed as possible without being squeezed dry of every penny they have is ludicrous.

Zorque , to Men's Liberation in The Perception Paradox: Men Who Hate Feminists Think Feminists Hate Men

However, the feminists that hate men do say “I hate men because I’m feminist”, which make a lot of men think that feminism is about hating men, before they have to chance to learn what feminism is really about.

Then maybe they should stop wallowing in ignorance and listen to something other than an extreme. It's still their choice to react rather than think about their positions. Making someone else change because you're too scared to do it first is lazy and cheap. There's no way to scream a rational position like there is an extreme position, and you're never going to get rid of them by reacting as they do.

Stop using them as an excuse for your unwillingness to change. They're not at fault for your choices.

How do you define "Enough"?

Based on your statements, I'd say "Enough" means at least one so that you can claim some moral high ground.

Which in turn make some men feel alienated and push them towards content creators like Peterson or Tate.

Which, as you say, is a choice. Their choice. They can either suck it up and not take a minority of vocal extremists as gospel, or they can become the same because they're insecure.

Some black people commit crimes. Some asian people are bad drivers. Some hispanics are illegal immigrants coming to steal your jobs.

If you judge everything based on a minority example, everyone around you is gonna have a bad time.

Zorque , to Politics in [Article] Voters reject stadium tax for Royals and Chiefs

If the owners get all the benefits of capitalism, why are the players stuck in such a limited system?

Because that's the point of capitalism. The ones with the capital control things.

Zorque , to Star Trek in How Star Trek's Future Works - Money, Work and Property

Things that can not be replicated, or are too complex to replicate easily.

I'm sure, given enough energy and processing power, you could replicated just about anything... but if they already exist naturally, why bother? If it takes less energy to mine, or mix, or harvest latinum than it takes to replicate it, then replication doesn't make sense for it. That goes for just about every other physical thing as well.

Zorque , to Work Reform in The fun thing about needing a job is that all the advice is either incredibly demeaning or incredibly futile. Usually both

People shit on it because it was mostly backed by racism and sexism.

Zorque , to Ask Science in How dark is Mars compared to Earth in a very practical sense?

What if we connect that eye to a neurolink?

Zorque , to Star Trek in Janeway’s “Tuvix” Decision Divides ‘Star Trek: Voyager’ Cast: “It Kind Of Hurt Her Character”

I mean, DS9 was almost as much in the boonies as Voyager. Assistance was limited, and there were limitations on what he could do, as he was only running the station at the behest of the Bajoran government, not as a true representative of the Federation.

It also introduced facets of war, even before it became a full blown thing in the later seasons. He wasn't always on the side of the angels... because there are no angels in war. War only ever makes demons.

It doesn't excuse his actions, but it doesn't make them truly inexcusable either. They both operated in much more of a grey area than either of the two previous series.

Zorque , to Star Trek in New Star Trek Movie Director Is A Fan And Directed The ‘Black Mirror’ Trek Episode “USS Callister”

Well, as long as it's nothing like that episode, it should be fine.

I remember an episode of CSI years ago where they were investigating the murder of someone who was rebooting a very Star Trek show into something super dark and gritty, with none of the hope and positivity the original show had. That seems to be the trend of a lot of Star Trek properties the last few years, and it makes me think the writer of that episode was quite prescient.

Zorque , to Politics in Liz Cheney weighs third-party US presidential run, says Trump threatens democracy

It won't be the birth of a third party, it'll be the year the House decides who gets to be president. That's what happens when no one gets enough electoral votes.

Pretty sure they meant the other description you gave.

Even AIPAC is getting a little worried about how far Israel is going.

Zorque , to Work Reform in Women in Iceland including the prime minister go on strike for equal pay and an end to violence

People don't create actionable items unless they're confronted with the idea that they need to make them.

Many people, like yourself, are waiting for something "actionable" before they do anything. The problem is, everyone is waiting for someone else to do something and thus doing nothing themselves. That's where visibility comes in. Clearly not enough is being done, so people need to get off their ass and do something, instead of waiting for someone else to do it for them.
