#regressive

I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade whos been watching s3 since it premiered, but I never finished s2 of Strange New Worlds because I was disappointed at how conservative the show was. Everything I've heard about Hegemony I/II only makes me not want to watch it even more. What are folks thoughts? Is SNW more regressive, particularly in its characterisation of the Gorn, than TOS?

Like, the attitude of Arena was "don't judge a scary alien by their scary appearance".

Conversely, Strange New Worlds seems to be like "actually, its totally justified to kill them cause they're literally evolutionarily built to kill mammal humanoids"

Tariffs are not taxes on other countries. They are taxes that ultimately fall directly on regular people in this country.

The government imposes tariffs on imported goods. Businesses raise prices to pay the extra tax. Consumers pay these taxes through higher prices.

These increased costs take up a larger percentage of lower income budgets. In this way tariffs function as a regressive tax, as they place a larger financial burden on those with less income.

IDK if I can list all the things wrong. I'll group them.

"...every single violation..." Yeah, hyperbole is working terrifically for you. Keep going, yes. Go, go go!

"Make exceptions?" Oh, you blew past that a while ago, dude. You're nipple deep in totally professionally compromised.

Oh, believe me, bro. You were never going to change any minds, only confirm all the accusations against you. Or prove you're a nitwit. Both, probably.

"The entire staff?" Hyperbole! It's such a fall color, though. Are you sure you want to keep going with that? (Hyperbole for $8 thousand million, Alex! Ohhh kay.)

"I'm not going to spend a minute looking for a better example, even though I fucked up and should actually be motivated to do so. I simultaneously cannot look up her info, yet could access her violations, which I'm not gonna do, because wah. So there! 🙊🙉🙈 And I'm going home to my mommy." 😭 B o o. H o o.

"If you don't like it, then you can get the FUCKout!" "I guess this platform just isn't for you people."
