hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•EXO-6 Revisits "The Cage," Master Replicas' Next Action Figures (and a Talking Moopsy!), and Much More Star Trek Merch News!English2·4 days agoA talking Moopsy? Lol, I saw someone at STLV last year who modified theirs to do just that.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Paramount+ Announces Fifth and Final Season of Star Trek: Strange New WorldsEnglish12·4 days agoThink positively. We all knew this had to come to an end eventually. This is a prequel that leads into TOS.
Seán Ferrick of TrekCulture has pointed out that Game of Thrones’ final season was six episodes, half which were longer length. So there is a possibility that these episodes will be longer.
EDIT: I misspelled Seán’s name earlier.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•Rep. Mary Miller loses it over 'a Muslim' speaking in Congress8·9 days agoWow, this is exactly what someone who 1. doesn’t practice real Evangelical Christianity would say 2. would believe not having studied the most basic of United States history.
The separation of Church and State is exactly that. The Colonist came to North American because they didn’t like how the Church of England was being operated. In practice they might not have wanted other religious groups to have such freedom but if you try to take the Bill of Rights and Constitution at face value, then you as a person in the United States government have no reason to judge them for being a non-Christian. Much like how I much challenge you to prove you belong to a well regulated militia when you own a gun.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•To whom it may concern.English3·10 days agoSpecifically in “Balance of Terror” he is telling Stiles that it was unacceptable to judge Spock for looking the same as a Romulan, fully knowing he was a different species.
EDIT: in STVI, I think the context is being angry for the death of David.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteto politics @lemmy.world•BREAKING: Elon Musk Calls For Trump to Be Impeached4·11 days agoI’m sure we are wanting this for very different reasons.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Phrase the Prophets!English1·12 days agoThis isn’t licensed nor are these based on actual in-show designs, but Anne Gregory makes some nice ones you can get on Etsy. Maybe this would be a better alternative? I wouldn’t know how to make an earring. https://www.etsy.com/shop/AnneGregoryJewelry
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Today is June 1st, the start of Pride Month. This scene from "Blood Oath" weighs heavily on my mind.English8·15 days agoMaybe it is something regarding the Bible? A Google search doesn’t bring an exact result for that quote but a bunch of different Bible verses are in the results however.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•Why did Richard Daystrom get a research organization named after them?English5·17 days agoDaystrom Institute is UFP, not Starfleet affiliated. Hence why those who work at Daystrom aren’t Starfleet.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•Why did Richard Daystrom get a research organization named after them?English7·18 days agoI didn’t notice this before but in Alpha canon Daystrom Institute was founded in 2256, before TOS. So this speech doesn’t make sense. The writer probably didn’t know that either.
EDIT: I need to clarify that this information is from “Chose Your Pain”, so it came along after “The Ultimate Computer”.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•How long would a shuttle from Earth to Vulcan take?English2·23 days agoYeah, if you go back and watch the video I posted on YouTube, the welcome message that plays when you’re in line specifically says shuttle. It would’ve made more sense if they were runabouts but there’s no evidence that runabouts are even used during the period of Picard season 3.
Based on what I can remember from DS9, runabouts are faster and generally used for longer trips.
EDIT: Is the Federation even adhering to the warp five speed limit anymore? I know it doesn’t get addressed after “Force of Nature”, but is there anything suggesting that the speed limit has been dropped completely by the 25th century?
EDIT 2: The site I linked says 28.19 days.

At least I wasn’t attending a bat’leth tournament.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish8·29 days agoYep. Many people for example mistakenly think Los Angeles is near Disneyland.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish7·29 days agoIf only I had a transporter available.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish7·29 days agoI was coming from Riverside County.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish7·28 days ago🤭 Thanks. Unfortunately, unless I planned a better day to Agua Dulce (the city which Vasquez Rocks is located), I wouldn’t dare make the drive again. On a Saturday, there was so much traffic for the 64 mile drive.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish6·29 days agoI mean, Raffi lived here. Memory Alpha says the appearances in PIC are Vasquez Rocks, not a differently named location.
This is the exact bullshit we could brand someone that follows Islamist ideology with.
The major difference: Islamist groups purposely (as I recall learning in a college level North American religions course taught me) twist actual Islamic ideology while the Christian Right just doesn’t understand the religious text they claim to follow.
EDIT: Going to Trump rallies could be equated as the Christian Right version of terrorist training camps.
EDIT 2: My point about describing someone who assassinated people as “religious”, will place a false connotation on a group. It either paints the killer as misguided or followers of that religious faith as bad people. This is what happened with 9/11.
